Alisson Becker

Somebody reassure me that everything will be fine tonight

Wow. Those couple of corners. The James McConnell deflected shot. That lad losing his tooth. Tsimikas fighting for his life to defend his own first touch. Now this is the magic of the cup.

If by the end of tonight we can say that we both reached a cup final and bullied Richarlison off the pitch, I'll be very happy. Halfway there.

Good new video on LFCTV with Gravenberch. Can tell he's obsessed with the club and the fans. Enjoyed seeing him recalling the atmosphere vs Brighton and the Allez Allez Allez in the League Cup final. Only been here 18 months but he really gets the club.

Everything about that felt fucking massive

Slot's reaction to that goal. Barry's reaction to that goal. That could end up being massive.

Petition to make games 70 minutes long for just today

I think I might be in the minority of people who actually enjoyed that half. At least with the context of knowing we usually improve in the second half. We had plenty of half-chances, improve on just a couple, stop falling over in midfield, and we'll put this to bed.

Very happy for James McConnell after hearing Slot praise him so much after the game. Out of that whole "Klopp's kids" group it's always felt like he's the one that gets most forgotten, despite arguably being the most impressive in the cup final. Looking forward to seeing more in the FA Cup.

We're the best team in this league and it's not actually remotely close

Lots about us potentially getting a tough RO16 draw with the 15th-18th placed teams, but worth noting that City can no longer finish in those spots, Bayern's next game is Sl. Bratislava (H), Madrid - Brest (A), Juve - Benfica (H). Likely they all move up, and PSG with Stuttgart (A) might not win.

How long do we reckon until Chiesa can start a game for us? I'm hoping it'll be PSV next week but given how cautious we've been with his fitness I can see us waiting until Plymouth. Would love to see more of him from the left too rather than just as a Salah backup.

50 European goals for Mo Salah, and 50 Champions League games for Alisson and Virgil van Dijk for #LFC last night. More numbers on that, plus when did Liverpool last score two left-footed goals from outside the box in a single game? 🤔 mreidstats.substack.com/p/lille-h-20...

United haven't scored with this wingback pairing. United average under a goal a game away from home. United haven't scored at Anfield since 2018. United are fucking shit. So can someone please explain to me why I'm bricking it like we're about to play a CL final?

We signed anyone yet?

Chelsea had the chance to go top 8 days ago against Everton. They're now 10 points behind. Going to ignore the context and laugh. What a season.

Leny Yoro had interest from Liverpool, Madrid and United and this is what he picked (likely with some heavy influence from incentivised agents, but still). Very funny.

One of our midfielders was directly responsible for a goal we conceded and I still can't recall a better midfield performance from a Liverpool team in a long, long time

I see we're back to the stage where an offside flag essentially turns the game into football's equivalent of the purge where you can do whatever the fuck you like to the opposition

17:45 kick-off for today's game purely for the purposes of keeping people on their toes I assume

Twitter is down so everyone is going to have to post "who are they?" on here instead

I'll be absolutely distraught if Salah does what we all think he'll do here

Bring Nunez on. Everyone is missing their chances so this will be the one game where he's inexplicably clinical. It's the Darwin theory.

Some of those passes from Gomez in that first half btw. I fully understand why we refused to let Guler have a bottle, there's something in the water.

Sounds dumb but I'm actually more annoyed with that half than I am happy, despite being one of the best halves of football we've played. We should have more than one goal to show from it. Get Salah in more shooting positions.

This is sensational. The best start to a game we've had in a very long time.

Savouring every single second of this. Arne Slot, what a man.

Any other opponents and I'd be so happy with that first half performance but you just know the horrific vile bubbling away, ready to pounce at any moment. I hate them. Please score lots of goals and make them miserable.

I wonder if I'll ever see LFCTV successfully manage to stream a game without any technical issues in my lifetime

Never easy playing away at the PGMOL so a fantastic result even if a little sloppy at times

Now we've equalised I'd like to suggest we boot every corner straight out for a goal kick

We're still winning this but my God has my head gone at that pen decision

Konate has had a bit of a rough half here but he can rest easy knowing there is still a Liverpool CB putting in a worse performance on commentary

This performance has been a far better celebration of Rodri's Ballon d'Or than any of the pre-match shite they did

He'll definitely score and help them turn it around now I've said this, but I've yet to see a shred of evidence that City bringing back Gundogan was the genius move that all the fawning over the summer suggested it was.

Slot press conference has brought me back to life. Disappointed no journalist teed him up to call David Coote a cunt but other than that, bring me to 2pm Sunday.

Big James Pearce now has an (official) Bluesky account 👇

Mohamed Salah recently suffered his 168th Premier League foul since the summer of 2018, meaning he has finally passed the total Jack Grealish suffered in 2019/20 alone.

got one Curtis Jones; gonna throw in 3 of my fav LFC ones aswell 🫡

Seen Alisson, Elliott, and Danns all pictured in training but no Chiesa yet

Fair play I'd have lost my mind and started a midlife crisis called "Ludonautics" too

If anyone who has made the hard commitment of deactivating their account on the other platform to come here has any FOMO, yesterday's football "discourse" was straight up homophobia from accounts with 100k-1m+ followers. You're good here.

You’ll struggle to find a more training ground pattern of play. Perfection. Probably my favourite goal under Jürgen Klopp.

Ben Doak's assist vs Poland. Their fans seem to love him already #LFC

Not the J-Dog. We continue to await his presence

Koeman letting Virgil go home after 1 game after also telling him to go home early during the last international break when he wanted to stay. I guess it's that time of the year.
