Fucking hell ref get a fucking grip.

There must be about 10 minutes added time here. Sunderland have taken the absolute piss.

A win here can really turn this season around. This team badly needs a confidence boosting win here.

Can't buy a goal at the moment.

The lack of pressing is really interesting. Wonder if Slot thinks our pressing is the reason we're conceding goals? Can't say I'm thrilled, considering pressing has been a staple of our game for years. And it doesn't seem to be helping the offensive part of the game...!

Points versus equivalent matches last season and in brackets projected totals if all results going forward match those of 2024-25. +10 Man City (81) +7 Arsenal (81) -6 Liverpool (78) -1 Chelsea (68) -1 Newcastle (65) -3 Aston Villa (63) +4 Tottenham (42) -1 Man Utd (41)

I would love to see Wirtz, Isak, Ekitike start a game.

What you have with Mo is a problem. His lack of defensive work is usually made up by the fact he's constantly a threat going forward. But when he's not firing, then you've got a liability in the team. A liability you just gave a two year extension which made him one of the club's highest earners.

Great win. Really solid, bar a slightly nervy last 10. Time to build on this. Slot and the boys just need a bit of a run here to try ad salvage this season.

Unbelievable. It was so obvious he was going to be sent off. West Ham players should have been holding him back there. Unreal stupidity.

Not sure why Slot keeps pulling Isak off. Keep him in for a full 90. Surely it's more beneficial to him?!

What a finish. Get in.

Wirtz has been brilliant. Kerkez has looked solid too, thought he should get a mention considering his form of late.

Gomez looked class. Who would that thought? All that was missing that first half was a goal. Isak is unlucky not to have one goal - denied by a solid save. The issue Liverpool have had this year is the intensity and desire has disappeared in the second half - let's see if it'll be different today.

Solid start by Liverpool.

Lose today and I'd have to say Slot must go.

There's only a handful of managers you would go and get if you replace Slot, and almost all of them are unavailable. That's the issue here. Wonder if a Klopp interim would work... 👀

Arne Slot is a league-winning Liverpool manager, one of only two in the last 35 years, and deserves every respect. However, I'm not sure he can or should survive this. Nine defeats in 12 and seven goals conceded in the last two at Anfield. This squad is so much better than that.

Liverpool have lost nine of their last 12 games across all competitions, their most defeats over a 12-game spell since November 1953 to January 1954 (also 9). (Opta)

Awful stats coming out from everywhere, it seems. I reckon the Liverpool execs are looking at who could come in...

Yikes.

Slot could genuinely get sacked before Amorin.

There aren't many teams anywhere who've conceded 2+ goals more times than Liverpool this season (12).

Gakpo has been the square root of awful.

I reckon I could grab a goal against Liverpool right now.

Truly dire football here.

It can't go on like this much longer, surely...?

Despite the disallowed goal, Liverpool have been awful. Midfield needs to offer themselves more and get the ball of Konate. Front three have been awfully quiet too.

That game was the perfect game for Bradley to showcase what he's about. Issue is, his injury record and consistency. If he can keep his injuries at bay, and get an extended run in the first team, I reckon we'll see a lot more performances like we did tonight. Excellent game, CB.

Wirtz, Szobo, Macca, and Gravy were brilliant tonight. Tenacious, technically brilliant, and were unlucky not to get a goal / assist more between them. Looked far more solid too, but that was also thanks to the likes of Robbo and Bradley putting in big shifts.

Robertson had to start all big games this year. He's been immense. I love Kerkez - love his passion and desire. But he's young and he needs to mesh into the team. Takes time, that.

Wirtz on the left. Sigh.

If Slot keeps this up, Andoni Iraola, get your bags packed. I'd bet my house on him replacing Slot.

Slot is very quickly running out of time imo. Yet another embarrassing performance.

Leave it at this. Goodnight Reds!

If we don't switch up soon, Slot could be looking for a new job soon. Embarrassing football.

Absolute shambles this. Getting completely out played by Brentford.

Kerkez is just a kid. People tend to forget his age. He's low on confidence and he's clearly breaking a sweat to make a positive difference. Won't hate that.

It's the lack of sprinting back to get the ball back which I'm really not liking. Lose the ball and it's just Szobo trying to get back and win it. Put the effort in, lads.

Signing the amount of players we did was always going to mean a lack of cohesion. So you can understand what's happening. But it's somehow got worse game on game, which doesn't seem to make sense...!

Mamardashvili has not impressed me at all, by the way. Not great distribution, not great in big moments, doesn't command the area all that well. Lots to work on.

Team is crying out for a defensive midfielder. No protection at all.

Embarrassing.

I hope Salah just plays his own game and doesn't feel like he needs to force anything. He's been forcing a goal a bit too much in the last few games, and it's not been pretty.

Gone under the radar how off it Macca has been this season for us. Wonder if it's just poor form, or if it's a tactical change or fitness...? Hard to tell.

Need Wirtz to start today. Need a good Mo performance to silence the doubters. Need a solid defensive performance. Will we get all three? Doubt it, but let's hope.

I would personally try Mo through the middle. His dribbling has fallen off a cliff, and his pace isn't what it used to be.

Anyway, up the Reds. Bring on Brentford.

Mo with a horrible cameo at the end there. So selfish.

I just need a Wirtz goal. That's it. That's all.
