Horrendous performance by Liverpool last night . It is as bad as I have seen in 5 or more years. Last year it was klopps team Slot has made his choices and this is his team. We have seen t a huge amount of money backing him. It's up to him to now sort this mess out. We were extremely fortunate to be where we are in the league but you can't' kid yourself. He needs to find answers quickly If it wasn't for Allison we would have conceded 7 or 8 goals in the last 2 games

Another couple of average performances and I’ll start to believe it, we had an horrendous start a few years ago and came through it.

With the proviso that Salah and Van Dijk are 33 and 34. Last season City slumped following injury to Rodri and the coincident ageing of KDB, Walker and Gundogan. I can see Liverpool replacing Salah through Isak but how do you replace VVD?

As blinkered as Carragher is, I would rather listen to him spouting rubbish than Owen...and that is nothing to do with him going to the rags. All down to him simply being the cure for insomnia.
The worry for me with the Palace result is if Slot doesnt play that match over and over and over. As they need to re-live that to understand where it is going wrong.
As some have said on here and as much as I hope it isn't true, but maybe Wirtz isn't as good as sliced bread! But how long will he remain on the starting team sheet?
One loss shouldn't cause panic, but it should certainly be a wake up!

Wirtz is one of those who star on the continent but look lost in the mayhem that is the Premier League. He may come good but it will take him a while.

Yeah, I get that, but he has an almighty price tag on his shoulders and he has to justify it - sooner or later. That it's happening to a club I despise makes me glad, but the player himself is under immense pressure, as he has been since he signed. I don't think he's worth what the dippers paid for him, and I'm sure I remember reading somewhere he'd done his cruciate ligament some time ago: if so £100 million (or whatever it is) is a big gamble the club have taken.

Lukaku is decent, in the right set up.

He has a brilliant understanding with KDB.

Isak appears to be the classic PL over hyped phenomenon because he scored a few goals.

Never worth what the Dippers paid for him, fuck em.

Hype is the word, alright.
With the benefit of hindsight, it was obvious Liverpool had Isak tapped up when, during coverage of Newcastle's last game of the calendar year, Carragher kept describing him as "currently the best striker in Europe, including Haaland"... and then, immediately after the game revealed he had picked Chris Woods in the striker position in his Team of the Year [so far] .

It’s obviously fun to take the piss out of those sad act football social media reaction guys like the bald Irish fella, Goldbridge etc.

But we should also be thankful they’ve picked a relatively harmless subculture to focus their insecurities on. They’re one wrong social media scroll or mouse click away from going down the incel school shooting rabbit hole.

Apologies to the moderators for going off piste...
I read a book earlier this year, called Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates, which examines this phenomenon (through the lens of misogyny, as the title suggests).
You're dead right. The football weirdos are the least of the world's worries. Fuck me but there are some right sad cases walking amongst us.
I'll try and post a link (bit of a technoclutz, myself). I read it just before Adolescence (on Netflix) grabbed all of the headlines and I would recommend it to anyone on here who is interested in further investigating the problem.
Anyway, back on topic: Liverpool are wankers.

Apparently Alisson is out for 6 weeks, big blow to them unless the Georgian lad is as good as him, as great as Allison is he's strangely so injury prone.

I hope he doesn’t. I was so pissed off when he chose these wankers instead of us. Hopefully he becomes their Sanchez and he’s out on loan in Italy or somewhere in a year or two.

Another reason we should buy Marc Guehi. He’d be their next VVD, but he could also be our next Vinnie.

I don’t think there was any real chance of him coming to us, reading between the lines.

It is possible their ageing squad does not have the resilience to win back-to-back titles. Winning four in a row killed us last season. I hope LFC have made the same mistake we did.

To be fair you can’t really accuse Liverpool of standing still which we have seen other teams be guilty of in the past. They have added significantly to their squad and as easy as it is to say they have regressed if they get a point at Chelsea they will go into the international break at worst joint top of the table.

It all comes down to whether their new signings eventually bed in or not as the season progresses. I guess we have a similar issues in that regard.
