Same again please lads 😁

We had a lot of players doing well on international break and Slot now has a lot of fit players to choose from. Our squad is stronger than United's but that doesn't make any game vs them straight forward, nevertheless after 3 losses anything but a win at Anfield would be a big worry. Pressure on.

Players like Borini were indicative of Rodgers' lack of appreciation of what an LFC quality player was. BR gushed over him after playing for him at Swansea but beyond his high work rate it was quick for fans to realise he wasn't the world beater Rodgers claimed he'd be. Had a solid career though.

Finally the Premier League is back tomorrow, I do hate international breaks (love International Tournaments though).

Erling Haaland has now scored at 22 of the 23 stadiums he's played at in the Premier League, the highest ratio of any player to appear at more than one ground in the competition’s history. The only ground he has failed to score at so far is Anfield...

LFC in the 1st 7 games played 5 out of top 8 teams and others were Burnley away (who hadn't lost at home for over a year) and Newcastle away who were out for blood. Two games lost were only in injury time by 1 goal. LFC 2nd while not playing anywhere near their best.

What is going in the Ryder cup right now? C'mon Europe! Can't let these obnoxious abusive Americans win.

I think Szoboszlai should be our first choice rightback with Bradley/Frimpong used as attacking subs (Frimpong also as a RW sub) and then occasional starts when Dom is rested or used in midfield UNTIL they both show they can defend better. Both are talented players but we need defensive consistency.

No hiding the Palace 1st half was abysmal and the late goal was a sickener but moods are so influenced by the perception of trends. e.g. If we drew 1st 2 games then won next 4 everyone would be so positive but we'd have less points than we have now.

I would start Chiesa vs Palace. He's been underused imo in the 2nd half of last season and the exclusion from the CL was cruel though I understand after Guehi deal fell through. Gakpo hasn't yet hit form yet, although now he should be added to CL squad maybe he starts vs Galatasaray instead.

Twitter or Bluesky Arsenal fans are as deluded wherever you go.

Gyokeres as high at 15 is rather funny. He shouldn't be anywhere on the list.

I would've rested Mac Allister too. Played Dom in midfield and Bradley rightback, but I've been informed that fire Bradley's fitness after his last 2 starts it better he's rested this match from a physical load perspective.

Finally Bluesky has bookmarks! (Called Saved posts here). I've been wanting that since I joined, I use them a lot on the bird app.

I'm not convinced Postecoglu will last at Forest with Marinakis but he does seem to have a pre-existing relationship with him, both being Greek origin too. I feel for Nuno but he didn't manage the relationships well once Edu arrived, and calling out Marinakis publicly can only end one way.

NEW: Rio Ngumoha assists and Jayden Danns scores on England ‘debut’ #lfc

I'm not certain, just that it's probable. It is possible he could go elsewhere as with his contract running down his agent might want more money and maybe a Madrid for example might come in. But he does 'seem' the type of character who is loyal to his word and not likely to switch.

England matches are even less interesting given there's no Liverpool players and the competition is so weak in Andorra. Though away at Serbia might be interesting to see how Guehi does as he's an LFC player in waiting.

Man hadn't read Homer before reading Nolan's script did he. Well he is used to reading Spiderman scripts so this would come as a big change.

Oliver Glasner went as far to say, if Guehi left he’d offer his resignation. Liverpool senior staff to now travel back from London. Expected that a deal for January will be discussed in the next month, but it would be at a severely lower price. (Chris Williams)

Matt Reeves Batman was lowkey the best batman movie, better than even Nolan's (though they had more memorable individual scenes). I'm stoked he's doing another one and I'm not into Superhero movies in general.

That's a surpise. Forest have bought so many players again.

Fantastic window 10/10. Strengthened all the key positions and sold lots of players we needed to for good fees. Fantastically high quality of players that came in. Feel for Guehi but not our fault and we'll wait until January. Best ever transfer window.

Didn't even realise he got sacked lol.

🎶I'm sorry Nick Jackson (woo) There is no deal We called off the Bayern loan-to-buy Fly home to replace the injured guy🎶

Brighton must really hate Chelsea but they do pay top dollar for their players so maybe it's a marriage of convenience.

If he has not emotional control how can he expect his players to?

Liverpool left-back Kostas Tsimikas has been given permission to undergo a medical with Roma ahead of a season-long loan move. The deal is a straight loan with no option to buy. More from @jamespearcelfc.bsky.social

Kostas Tsimikas off to Italy to undergo a medical ahead of season-long loan move to Roma. (James Pearce)

Amorim is very fragile mentally. His response to adversity is to blame his players and circumstances. After the first game loss he was positive and upbeat despite the loss because they played well, but one bad performance (all be it very bad) and he's back to his old negativity.

That Spurs midfield was excellent vs City. Well balanced and in-sync with each other. Against deepblocks though they will miss a Maddison or Eze to add that creatvity and guile to unlock packed defences.

Jarell Quansah scored immediately in his Leverkusen debut. Celebrated like a champ ❤️

What a save Vicario.

Kudus still doesn't work hard enough for me. It's a bad habit he learnt at West Ham and it'll take a while to get that completely out of him. He also doesn't stay onside well enough.

Arsenal have mastered set-pieces in recent seasons, Leeds have spent the summer signing players who are at least 6ft. When they meet at the Emirates today it could be a battle of the giants. But how important is height in both boxes? @markcarey93.bsky.social 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/656...

Pahlinha and Betancur are decent players to have in the middle. Romero and van der ven decent too. Very energetic fullbacks. Kudus is a threat (though poor in this game so far) and Richarlison if he's fit offers something, but Spurs are short offensively.

Xabi doesn't rate him.

Spurs have a rather good starting XI tbh but they are a few players short. They've done much better vs this better City team than I think Postecoglu would've done but City clearly have more attacking threats than last seaon plus more confidence.

Szoboszlai, this is your Gerrard vs Milan in the final stages of the 2005 final moment.

van Dijk now has 5 PFA team of the year appearances. A very select group. Stevie G way out in front.

Matches vs Newcastle are rarely easy. Even though the loss in the Carabao cup was our first loss since 2015 matches are often a battle. I expect it to be even more the case on Monday - 1st home game, under lights & Isak situation. Our team selection should reflect that.

He was pushing for a move last season. Winning the Europa, qualifying for the Champions League, some signings and a new Manager who's made him Captain and he's committed his future to the club.

Aren't Villa rather thin? No Bailey, Rashford or Asensio from last season. Hardly bought anyone either due to PSR.

Edwards and Slot are ruthless when it comes to young players. I'm not saying that in a bad way, more factually. Slot is visualising who has the ceiling to be a Liverpool player soon, if not he doesn't see the point in delaying.

People are mocking Amorim for this but if I was a Man United fan I'd be much happier with Amorim being upbeat and positive like this than the constant doom mongering and negativity he spewed last season. And United were the better team imo so I agree on that too.

Man United look much better than last season. Big win for Arsenal. Old Trafford will be a harder place to go for most teams this season.

It was very smart to get the Leoni and Ekitike deals over the line so we're not too desperate trying to get deals done for Guehi and Isak. Imagine it goes to last few days of window and we'd got no striker or new CB in - we'd get ripped off massively in our desperation!

Al Nassr have reached an agreement in principle with Bayern Munich for Kingsley Coman. The deal for the winger is set to be between €25m and €30m. 📝 @sebsb.bsky.social

Wirtz is a brilliant but our defenders and midfielders need to be MUCH better at finding him. I saw him make so many great darts and movements all game yet Jones, Szoboszlai and Konate constantly just didn't play the pass to him. Give Flo the ball!

I feel more confident after the Charity Shield. The result will shake out any complacency the players might've had, Arne will use the loss as inspiration to drive the team forwards (like he did with Forest or PSG) and get better & the owners/DoF have added reason to push through further transfers.
