Liverpool have recruited a devastating attack. The vast majority of their issues lie in them not transporting the ball to that attack well enough from full-back & midfield. It is as simple as that.
The Alisson error defines the game but that brother has probably individually won Liverpool 100 points in his career. We gotta hold it with grace. It is what it is
You can probably roll with the punches when waiting for an attack to gel (there’s going to be 45s where the execution stinks) as long as your OOP game is stellar, and that might summarize Liverpool’s season up until this point- but that was a truly terrible 45 OOP
Didn’t catch the full game yesterday- what happened on their 3rd goal? Are all our guys in each other’s way and nobody takes responsibility? Not that I’m desperate to assign blame but what’s the correction there?
92% - Trey Nyoni has completed 92% of his passes under high-intensity pressure in the @ChampionsLeague this season.
This is the highest accuracy of any midfielder with 100+ attempted, ahead of Pedri in second (91%).
Composure.
LFC fans forgot what a fucking project is bro. It’s exactly how you can tell a lot of these guys became fans post 2018. Iraola is on a journey, you need to go through the pain
Last week, Andoni Iraola was a brilliant appointment. This week, he’s not up to the job. No point lurching between such extremes so early on in his tenure when a number of the players responsible for last season’s mess keep making the same mistakes. A long road ahead.
Ran some numbers! Really interesting stuff came out.
Main takeaways: Iraola is performing exactly as predicted in terms of expectations vs Slot last season was largely underperforming both with 15 points.
BCC not an elite forecaster of future points, GD and points is better.

Predictably had a few dickheads bite back on this so it was nice to stumble upon this https://t.co/BjmXewDfQb from Paul Tomkins. Good to see I’m not going mad and my annoyance is evidence based.
