Can’t fault the players today. Great effort and unlucky not to win in the end. Credit to Slot for his tweaks after we went down to 10. Gravenberch was immense, Szobo not far behind. Jota looked super sharp. Ref was a dopey cunt. Proud of the performance, we go again.

Kindergarten Cop followed by Commando following by Running Man. Film4 delivering the goods on Friday night.

Ten Hag was sacked on 29th October. City record since is loss, loss, loss, loss, losing 2-0.

PSA! Cop Land is on ITV4 tonight at 10pm.

Madrid’s name is on this trophy again, I’m telling ya. Spawny motherfuckers.

That’s some fucking goal by Baumgartner. Sheesh.

Love the post-match interview by Arne. Happy with the result but quietly fuming with the standard of the performance.

We conceded within 3 minutes of our opening CL match away at the San Siro, & simply said " enough of that shit!" thereafter.

Me tonight, every time a Girona player collapsed to the floor holding their face :

The win means just 11 teams could theoretically get more points than Liverpool in the group stage. Man City, Bayern Munich and both Madrid teams are not among them.

Not the best performance but I couldn’t really give less of a shit tbh. Felt a bit like we played with the handbrake on but we had much more control in that 2nd half. Suffocated them and coasted after we took the lead. 6 win from 6, 5 clean sheets in a row. Up the reds.

When Liverpool have won 1-0 in Spain, they’ve won the European Cup. That’s about all I’ll take from this game. Up the Reds.

Was saying there’s no way that’s a penalty until I saw the bit where he trod on Lucho’s heel/boot. Without that, he doesn’t slip. Bit harsh maybe, but they deserve that because of all their diving and play-acting. Unlucky, dickheads.

All in all, weird half. A bit to frenetic at times but conversely, some of our play was too slow and deliberate. Final ball has let us down too. Quicken it up and be a bit more sharp up top in 2nd half and we should be ok.

Just me that thinks Darwin didn’t do much wrong with either of his chances? I get that he’s polarising but sometimes keepers just make good saves. I don’t think he could have done much more with either chance tbh.

Given all the noise from *that* fanbase the last 3 years, it would be objectively funny if the title race ended up being between Liverpool and Chelsea.

Die Hard is on. It’s officially Christmas.

Wind must be strong at Old Trafford, it keeps blowing the Utd players over.

Had the Bournemouth v Spurs game on for 10 minutes and Bournemouth could (should) be 4-0 up. Which means that Spurs are scoring twice in the final 5 minutes.

Spamming Early Doors clips to try to brighten up the morning. Not sorry.

You know Neil Armstrong #earlydoors

You went round to her new house? #earlydoors

Joan’s thinking of taking her driving test again #earlydoors

Gordon and Joelinton must have some dirt on PL refs btw. Every foul on Gordon was a yellow card, even when he dived. For the one Trent got booked for, he was a yard offside just before the foul. As for Joelinton, he just smashes into everything like an out of control lorry and gets away with it.

I understand the frustration of missing out on another comeback 3-2 win and the associated kick in the danglies to our rivals that it would have been. But aiming vitriol at individual players after we’ve won 18 of our first 21 fixtures of the season is fucking batshit.

Can’t be too hard on Kelleher either. He’s saved us plenty of times this season and how many times have we seen keepers do the same thing and it leads to nothing. Just unlucky and a crazy finish.

Probably a fair result to be fair. Referee was absolutely horrendous but that’s no excuse. We made mistakes, were sloppy and invited pressure constantly. Completely wrong thing to do in this fixture but hopefully we’ve learned our lesson because Saturday is exactly the same type of game.

They’re taking it well then.

How many times am I going to watch MOTD in the next 24 hours?

Three people have managed Manchester United in matches since Manchester City last won a game.

Weirdly, he’s always been quite insecure. He knows that some people question the integrity of his wins at City and it eats away at him. It’s why he always bristles and reacts petulantly or sarcastically whenever the charges or his legacy being tarnished is brought up.

Massive respect to Gomez and Quansah for today. Joe has had to be patient but has been immense whenever called upon this season. And it must have been tough for Jarell to go from starting to first game to being 4th choice CB but thought it was an excellent cameo in an unfamiliar position. Lovely.

Pep Guardiola is on a hat-trick of finger-related Anfield memes. Fascinated to see how he goes about getting the match ball - throws an actual box of Cadbury’s Fingers at Jérémy Doku after he again beats his full-back before doing absolutely nothing with the ball? Would be the best one, tbf.

Hahaha scruffy muzzy getting it.

Thought City were very lucky today. Could (should) have been 6-0.

“We’ve spent years tolerating him and ignoring the warning signs that he’s a raging little pervert. Now it’s all finally coming out, we’ll casually smear autistic people in a pathetic attempt to excuse his behaviour.” Wild.

Madrid had two touches in the Liverpool half between half time and the 57th minute. A pass at 50’ and one at 56’.

We shouldn’t get away you know, we haven’t really played anyone yet. The real test will be when we play Liverpool.

Felt like something similar (albeit for a shorter time) happened at the start of the second half tonight. We were all over them. @andrewbeasleyfootball.com you got anything ridiculous on touch/passing maps between minutes 50 and 57ish?

Over on the bad place, Arsenal fans really aren’t worried. They are so not worried that they feel the need to constantly state how not worried they are. We’ve gone too hard, got lucky loads of times, don’t control games and it’s not sustainable. Guess we should all just give up on the season now.

I was convinced that Cody was offside for this goal btw. Did they ever show the lines for it?

Mbappe when he’s up against Conor Bradley

LOL

Madrid near the relegation zone in the Champions League. Carlo determined to prove he’s an Evertonian.

Bellingham was hoping to put in a Gerrard-esque performance for tonight and the Gerard in question turned out to be Depardieu.

Slot deserves credit for his halftime tweak btw. Pushed Bradley forward, told him to stay high and trusted Ibou to contain Mbappe. Helped us suffocate Madrid and Conor was sensational.

Officially can’t be eliminated from the first stage. With 3 games remaining.

Probably our best 90 minutes of the season. We played some sublime football and deserved a bigger winning margin. Only negatives are the injuries to Bradley and Ibou.

Good performance so far against 12 men.
