Slot is said to have backing but it feels like time is running out—and maybe not just for the manager. liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-fc...

I'm honestly getting a little tired of Liverpool's coach and players asking for Anfield to be loud and then not doing their part by giving the supporters anything to be loud about 🤷‍♂️ liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-fc...

More like Tottenhammered, am I right?

Oh look it's another Liverpool game this season you probably would have been better off not watching because it was just more dumb bullshit. liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-ch...

Engage "we're only a goal down at the half" cope.

The number of times Joe Gomez has been absolutely cooked tonight is kinda impressive, actually. You'd think he'd have come out on top a couple of times just by statistical chance or dumb luck but actually, no, he just keeps getting flame broiled.

It remains very weird that no big club (us included) went for Osimhen last summer.

So it goes. Meatwallball is only allowed in the Premier League.

Up the Arsenal. Or summat.

It's March and this team still has the chemistry of 11 guys picked randomly out of a pub.

Bailed out. We'd collectively be fuming if that call went against us.

Gala are packing in here like they think it's a 90 minute match they have to win rather than a two-legged tie so, again, I would like if Liverpool could find a way to take advantage of this?

The terms of the bargain we agreed to seemed pretty clear imo. On the one hand there were gonna be pandemics and genocides and a global ecological collapse and Elon Musk being named God Emperor of Earth but on the other hand Liverpool were going to win, like, a lot.

I miss when Liverpool served as a reliable distraction from the shit state of the world rather than as the poster child for and constant reminder of the enshittification of everything.

Liverpool's prospects in this tie remain significantly better than Kurdish dreams of self-determination so, I mean, it could be worse?

Galatasaray are the only side in the R16 other than Bodo/Glimt with a negative GD and xGD so it's neat that they are currently stunting on us.

It looks like the red on Galatasaray's shorts is like one notch darker/lighter than the red on the lower back panel of the shirt and that's bothering me. Not as much as Liverpool being down, mind. But still.

el oh el

We're pressing well to start and Gala are desperate to gift us a goal and I think that it would be smart for us to take it while it's on offer

Gotta slot a gift like that away.

I'm ready to be hurt again.

Between my dislike of Chelsea Football Club and my dislike of Ryan Reynolds whoever wins here I lose.

Scoring goals improves your chances of winning football matches, apparently. liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-ch...

It's better to win than to lose or draw (now if we could actually string a few of these win things together and not shit the bed against Gala and/or Spurs that'd be great)

Sigh. Macca. Buddy. Why are you throwing yourself into that.

So what you're saying is direct play, progressive carries, and a little width makes a bit of difference? Is that right? Are we sure?

Liverpool are back, baby! Awoooo!

First half vs Second half #LFC

Okay but that's onside?

I say we just extend all our veterans by a year and see if they've really all lost their legs or if it's the manager.

Unexplained misses are a matter for the courts!

Turns out the people may not have been too pessimistic. Was utterly convinced we were getting a proof of life defenestration of Wolves tonight and not another reheated turd of a performance.

I'd look up what we're clocking for xG per attempt but I'm pretty sure it would just make me sad and annoyed.

Almost the entire first half gone. If not for Rio's 1v1 capabilities man.... oooft.

Twelve yards long, two lanes wide 65 tons of Eindhoven pride, Codynerooo! Codynerooo!

It's the last match but with one (1) player on the pitch who hasn't had the flair completely Dutched out of him (yet).

We're so afraid of turning the ball over and getting hit on the counter we won't even think of trying a final third pass with less than a 99.3% chance of success which shockingly does not help for creating high quality chances (or enjoyable football).

Started with a hint of intent today but odd moment of Rio flash aside it's all gone a little stale the last 10-15.

On the one hand I'm enjoying Rio's flair and flashes. On the other I'm not sure it's a good thing we've collectively (probably correctly) surmised our best chance of success as defending Premier League champions is a raw 17-year-old (who is very small) doing a spot of hero ball.

The thing about Ngumoha is that he appears to actually be willing and/or able to link up with his fullback which is generally useful if you're a winger.

On the flip side, at least one good thing came of Tuesday's whatever the hell that was I'm not gonna call it football.

Been a while since I've been this convinced we're gonna just steamroll an opponent Wolves are gonna be turned into a fine powder and used to fertilize plants.

This entire season has become purgatorial as such we will inevitably cobble together whatever string of results is most useful for keeping us in that state and preventing meaningful change or action.

We're gonna play well enough play well enough to convince everyone maybe we've turned it around (this time for real!) and then we're gonna embarrass ourselves and salvage the season for Tottenham we're more narratively predictable than AI slop.

People are being too pessimistic about tonight imo I'm about 97% sure we obliterate Wolves tonight and then go to Istanbul and obliterate Gala mid-week and after that's when we shit the bed against Spurs next weekend search your feelings your feelings you know it be true.

If we were even just like 7% better we'd be cruising to a CL finish in this shitshow season and I'd be a lot more able to enjoy the Wet Ham vs. Top Ham slap fight to determine which big club gets relegated.

Matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers will continue until morale improves. liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-ma...

Playing poorly and losing to the worst side in the league seems like it's probably never a good thing but ymmv 🤷‍♂️ liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-fc...

We're trying to manage games to death against the dross rather than using our clear talent edge to try to put ourselves in positions to win. Is what it is/are who we are.

It's March, do you know where your Liverpool Football Club is? liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/liverpool-ch...
