Plus of this international break is the fact I don’t have to watch this Liverpool team play for two weeks. #LFC

Slot does need to go back to basics though. Start from the defence and off the ball. Make Liverpool strong defensively and effective off the ball. Right now #LFC are so easy to play against off the ball.

Top 4 race for Liverpool season. Disappointing especially given the start to the season and the players the manager has at his disposal. Hoping Slot can find a way to make this team play as a proper team again. There’s no excuses. The squad is good enough to win major trophies.

That Fulham away kit might be one of the worst in the league. #BOUFUL

Mightly impressive win for PSG away given how many injuries they have at the moment. #BARPAR

Goncalo Ramos off the bench >>> #BARPSG

Jamie Carragher: “I'm not watching a top team. Liverpool are not playing football, they are playing basketball. And I told Slot this on the first game of the season against Bournemouth. I think for the manager now, he know he needs to really earn his money.”

I don't understand how Slot is utilising Kerkez at the moment. When Gakpo is on the left, all he does is cut inside. Surley it makes sense to allow Kerkez to bomb on to provide the wide option on the left? #LFC

Liverpool should revert back to basics. Go back to the players who played most last season and slowly embed the new signings. The players are second-guessing each other too much at the moment. #LFC

Another clunky performance on the ball. But the real red flag is yet another 20 minute spell where we were genuinely bad without the ball: B'mouth Newc Palace Gala That's half the matches #lfc Last season we won the PL because the floor of the team was so high but we've lost all that solidity

If Liverpool lose at Chelsea. The alarm bells should be ringing very, very loudly.

This Liverpool team is seriously lacking any cohesion at the moment. Can't see it getting any better anytime soon. Will be a long season. #LFC

Awful Liverpool performance. Could have played for another 90 mins and they still wouldn't have scored. #LFC

Liverpool look like a team who have no idea how to play with each other. Going to be a long season. #LFC

Frimpong - hate to say it - looks so out of place in this Liverpool team at the moment. #LFC

Genuinely haven’t seen Liverpool play this badly in years. Awful. #LFC

Arsenal have a great conundrum when Odegaard is fully fit. Odegaard or Eze in the 10? Eze can play out wide but you get way more out of him in the 10.

Thiaw looks like he’ll be an excellent signing for Newcastle. Really like how he defends. #NUFC

They had 0 points on 83 mins. 3 after 97. That's how you win titles.

Performance of champions from Arsenal. Dug deep and found a win. Could be one of those season defining wins. #NUFC #NEWARS

Nick Woltemade is the 2025 version of Peter Crouch. Very big player who’s technically very tidy. #NUFC #NEWARS

Sorry but how didn’t Gabriel get a red for that elbow?? #NEWARS

This is a really positive Arsenal starting XI. Eze in the no.10 is the way forward. #NEWARS

Can't recall a Premier League team falling off as much as Aston Villa without even selling any of their major players. Whole thing has gone so stale so quickly. #AVLFUL

Josh King is a superb talent. Glad he's at Fulham rather than a big, big club where he'd either be in the U21s, on the bench or out on random loans.

Joao Paulinha has been such a decent little signing for Spurs. What a tidy finish that was. #TOTWOL

This Wolves away kit is a beauty btw #TOTWOL

One of the reasons why I think Salah is struggling at the moment is because of the uncertainty/form of who starts behind him at RB. Both Bradley and Frimpong are in and out of the team, they haven’t really impressed and between them, have very different playing styles. #LFC

Saving grace for Liverpool is the fact they’ve started the season so well and it looks like, given the quality of the league, a lot of teams around them will be dropping points.

My 4 concerns about Liverpool: 1. Salah has become so uninvolved in Liverpool’s play - so isolated from the game 2. Writz has a lot of adapting to do. Looks too lightweight & a bit slow with decision making in final third 3. #LFC’s full-backs are offering very little going forward 4. Konate form

Liverpool were awful. It happens but this was coming. The balance of the team still looks off. Full backs not offering much, Writz not making an impact and Salah looks isolated. But honestly, I can see more teams dropping points to Palace. There’s a reason why they’re 17 or so games unbeaten.

32 points in 35 Premier League games for Ruben Amorim. That’s relegation form 😬 #MUFC

Slot confirms Leoni is out for the year. Devastating blow for the kid. #LFC

Last night, Giovanni Leoni completed 88 passes - the most by a player on their Liverpool debut since Andy Robertson v Crystal Palace in August 2017 (92). Also won 4/5 duels, and no #LFC player made more interceptions (3) or clearances (6). Horrible news on his injury.

If Leoni is out for the rest of the season then it’s absolutely essential Liverpool sign another CB in January. 2/3 of #LFC available CBs are injury prone. Liverpool are on a tight rope defensively until someone comes in. If Konate & Gomez get injured, LFC’s next CB options are Robertson or Endo.

Feel so bad for Leoni if his injury turns out to be really serious. He’s had to wait patiently to make his #LFC debut and when he does, he impresses but then picks up a horrible injury. Hoping he eventually ends up fulfilling his potential.

Just watched Slot's presser and reading between the lines, it feels like he's very annoyed with Hugo Ekitike's two yellow cards. #LFC

Nyoni looked really tidy for Liverpool today. Hoping he gets relatively regular minutes as the season goes on. Wonder if in the long run he could be cover for Gravenberch. #LFC

Etikite's red card is a huge loss for Liverpool with Palace in mind. His ability to play in tight spaces and his clinical finishing would have been vital against Palace. Such an avoidable problem. #LFC #LIVSOU

Kinda sad that Slot doesn't trust Chiesa a little more. He's a selfless attacker. I love a player who appreciates a teammate in a better position rather than trying to score themselves. #LIVSOU #LFC

Really hoping Leoni’s injury isn’t too bad. He was superb on his debut. You can see why #LFC spent relatively big to bring him in. #LIVSOU

Chiesa was sensational today. Was a selfless performance. #LFC #LIVSOU

Chiesa has been sensational tonight. #LIVSOU

That was the dumbest way for Ekitike to get a second yellow. #LIVSOU

Man City look so far off their elite standards. Look at their attack. Compare it to their rivals. Only Haaland is world class. Surprised how poor their squad building has been over the past few years.

Why are they celebrating a draw? 😬 Arsenal should be beating this Man City team. They’re way better than them.

Random point but I think it kinda says a lot about Arsenal and their mentality that after Martinelli scored, they didn’t just pick the ball up and try and score another asap. I get the goal was scored late and it was a brilliant lob but Arsenal needed to win that.

Think there’s a lot of pressure on Arteta to play a positive, attack-minded XI against Newcastle next week. There’s no reason not to imo. This Newcastle team aren’t quite ready from attacking point of view. They’re the for the taking. Arsenal need to go to SJP and win.

Can’t believe after just five games Liverpool are 8 points ahead of Man City.

Viktor Gyökeres had 24 touches against Man City. No starting player for either side had fewer touches than him. #ARSMCI
