Liverpool's title challenge has broken, shattered, collapsed. Their season isn't over, though. Far from it. The next nine league matches offer reasons for optimism, and here's why: www.andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/liverpools...

Ye olde xG per game chart w/various lightweight takes: 1. Arsenal is the blueprint here, 7 good games, 4 ~equal, 0 bad 2. Man City no bad games recently 3. stacking up the bad games: West Ham (but 2 good), Wolves (0 good) and Burnley (0 good) and curiously Bournemouth 4. No "good" Tottenham game :/

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ I helped write this piece on something that I think is important. Would appreciate you giving it a read, regardless of your viewpoint going in. maryamnaz.substack.com/p/the-parado...

Liverpool limited Haaland to his joint-lowest non-penalty xG in the league at home, missed two big chances and suffered two subjective VAR overturns for (I think) the first time ever. The Reds weren't great but their luck was worse. My review: www.andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/the-match-...

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC, rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC."

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

Never mind that, you should watch Leonard and Hungry Paul.

A rock solid metaphor for all of it.

Got these new trainers today but I can't get it out of my head that they look like fuckin DC Tosh Lines from The Bill

This is ultimately it. Perhaps not playing as badly as the results suggest but also not well enough to overcome the things that go against them. All hard work.

Too many hard-luck stories in so many of their games this season (Galatasaray pen, United head injury etc). Ultimately the not-great teams leave themselves open to those margins and that's where Liverpool are.

I was happy with the line up before hand but maybe needed more rotation. A tired performance with a sizeable dollop of misfortune to chew down on. Up the Reds. Time for a break...

City's three goals came from chances collectively valued at 0.11 xG. Gakpo's chance was 0.15.

folks are gonna make way way more of this game than was there City finished their chances exceptionally well

That Gakpo chance was Liverpool's first shot today that wasn't blocked. Had to go in. Had to.

Gary Neville is so dramatic. Liverpool haven't been as assertive as I expected but it's City away and they should have been level before conceding a deflected goal

As I was saying.

May as well go home now with this luck.

Liverpool concede an avoidable goal in 2025/26. Hard to believe, I know, but here we are. 1-0 City.

It is smart I’ve often thought in the past teams should’ve done it. First time I’ve seen it actually happen

Mama, just killed a man…

Did City kick it out of play to help ensure a VAR review? Smart.

Got to be happy with that

LFCW… heartbreak again. Yet again.

Any @fieldmusicmusic.bsky.social gig is great but to see them celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut by playing most of it (and other oldies) was special.

The 5:30 game is currently a draw. Shots 4-4 Long throws into the box.

Starting to wonder if Fulham might go down. One point clear of the drop zone, real bad underlying numbers…

Seven goals so far today in the Premier League. Six were headers and/or from set pieces. #proper #football #getbrexitdone

Luis Diaz good lord

My dog Marley fully endorses Pete’s portrait skills.

Not sure why you’d swap this upwardly mobile Middlesbrough side for a Wolves team in managed decline to be honest.

My preview of the early kick off:

Enjoyed this, @jonmackenzie.bsky.social.

Liverpool completed over 100 passes fewer against Real Madrid than any other team this season, yet Ekitike received more than ever before. Much of that was thanks to Wirtz. They have the makings of a fine partnership. It's my Friday newsletter: www.andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/boss-hugo-...

Our politicians did more to regulate Prince and Twisted Sister songs than glacier melting chatbots that promote suicide

Bellissimo 🇮🇹

For the Swiss model, this kind of table makes a lot more sense than the regular league format at this stage. If you look at it from the perspective that you just need a winning record at the end - it’s just a race to 4 wins (5 if you want top 8) - it’s easier to see what teams need to do.

The state of play at the half way point of the Champions League league phase. Seven teams (including Liverpool) have played at least three of their four games against Pots 1 and 2. Inter are possibly in a slightly false position.

If you live in Britain, your experience of 21st century government has been relentless escalating calamities by ruling parties: disastrous wars, financial catastrophe, destructive austerity, plummeting living standards, soaring prices, unaffordable housing, constant lying and comical incompetence.

Headed goals in 1-0 wins for Liverpool tend to be rather memorable.
