Look at where each of those clubs were when they took over. Only Klopp is comparable. Pep - team had won 2 PLs in 5 years. One of most expensive squads in world football. Mourinho – Abramovich money, just finished 2nd & CL semis. Dalglish – title-winning side, already a dominant force. Arteta 😍

Liverpool reverting to mean.

Slightly disappointed with Bukayo for taking the pen as I had triple capped Gyok in a Hail Mary to fix my woeful start. In the end, just more grist to the mill of bad decisions.

My MenOTM - Calafiori, Timber, Rice. Shout out to Gyok, who again ran tirelessly and just seems not to be getting the rub of the green. You feel once a couple of goals come the confidence will flow and he’ll relax a bit. Eze makes difficult stuff look very easy.

That’s so poor. Russo was in great positions throughout that game and they couldn’t find her.

Stina had two options there chip or slot the 1v1 and did neither. You can’t do that in a title race in a tight game.

Frustrating first half that for the women. We seem to only be able to develop play via the flanks and that is leaving our fullbacks very exposed. Foord had to track the run better for the goal once we lost possession having re-won it. We are lucky we aren’t 3 down.

My tickets went unused for the first time ever last night. Feel terrible. Remembered I had forgotten to post them on TX 20 mins after the cut off. Having ADHD makes stuff like this an absolute nightmare. Your mind just closes things as done that aren’t.

Struck again yesterday by how much more open CL games can be compared to Premiership. Midfield tends to open up much more in transition.

The way Newcastle and seemingly even its journalists has created a “rivalry” with Arsenal that nobody on this side recognises is quite cute.

Also get in Europe. Manful fightback from USA but they had to play golf at some point. Amazing Europe did what they did despite the frankly atrocious US crowd. Completely uncouth and disrespectful of the players.

We won. So they’re going for the Gyokeres angle again. It’s pathetic. And weird. He had a decent game and gave them a lot of headaches. If they gave the penalty and he scores it, then what is the analysis? Hacks.

I thought Gyokeres played well today. He’ll learn the speed soon. Still taking a second too long that he doesn’t have but making the exact runs we need him to.

If the pundits were balanced we’d now get “Arsenal showing everyone their strength” etc but somehow they’ll find a way to bash us about last week instead.

Just terrified my entire family with an elemental roar. GET IN.

That’s a title winning side. So much went against us. But we stuck at it. Took our chances eventually.

Gabriel clearly kicks that. So it can’t be a handball.

Come on! Now get the winner.

Clapping at the ref sarcastically no longer a yellow then?

I’d bring on Myles now. And Ethan. And Gabriel.

That Trossard shot that hit the post - why didn’t he hit it first time with his right? Declan set him up perfectly.

I’m off to take some beta blockers. PGMOL have me raging again.

Gordon just dived

SHOOT GYOKERES FOR F SAKE

You have to capitalise when you’re on top of you want to win the match, let alone the league.

Listen, I love Gabriel, but why isn’t our CB trying to jump with the player and at least put him off? He’s cost us a goal there.

Absolutely typical. Batter them. Get robbed of a pen. Get sucker punched.

The way that penalty incident was dealt with was absolutely re-refereeing by the way. The ref has seen the incident live but they’ve asked him to watch it again 20 times and make a new decision.

That is absolutely scandalous

This is ridiculous. How is this even a debate.

Saints absolutely imploding here. That was a definite penalty in favour of Pearson for the Chief’s previous try but they’ve let it get into their heads. If they lose here they need to have a proper word with themselves. #premrugby

Look, she's an incredible player - but the Spanish bias is off the charts. Russo was the obvious choice - Euros winner, UWCL winner, WSL golden boot (w/ Shaw). But even among the Spanish candidates, it should have been Caldentey. Buuut she plays in England, not Spain - so she's ineligible 🙃

G'wan Tom. This resonates so much with me. Knowing that others feel the same way is a nice tonic, so thank you for that. 🤌🏾

Before everyone piles on us for not beating City (“no excuse”), anyone remember the insane criticism Arsenal got for “parking the bus” against them with… TEN men!! City did exactly the same with 11 and I bet London to a brick you won’t hear anything about City “not being ambitious”! 😤😤😤🔴⚪️💪🏼 #Arsenal

Our inability to fail to win second balls when we have numerical and positional advantage really pisses me off.

Weird to take Madueke off over Trossard.

I like Merino but he’s too slow. Get on with it man.

Annoying yellow cards these

Trossard and Gabi making a point.

So pleased for Martinelli. He thrives on those.

Feeling like we have swapped over-reliance on Saka for over-reliance on Madueke…

This ref… another two home calls.

McManaman is a gimp

I used to hold the light for my Dad when he stitched members of the local rugby club up on Saturday evenings at the kitchen table. Held the legs of some very large gentlemen up in the air after they fainted.

That was a big cut. Didn’t see if they steristripped or glued it but if not it’ll need decent stitching at half time/after the game. Otherwise he’ll have a bad scar.

I know you make your own luck etc but this is ridiculous from Liverpool. They have 12 points and on another day could have had 4 instead.

Absolutely gutted about Ricky Hatton. Hard as nails, great banter and deeply human. I’ll always remember being in a B&B in Blackpool watching him beat Tszyu. Core memory. RIP Hitman.

Wanted him to miss but now I feel bad. Poor guy. #godawgs

Enjoyed seeing us play with a bit of swagger today. Loving the depth we have. Feel sorry for the Capt. But pleased for Madueke. Rated him since we first played vs him. If we kick him on he could become elite. Gyok again, Eze & Trossard with an assist each. Zubi feeling very comfortable. UTA.

Well done Palace.
