Just watched the 1st half of this game. I can only imagine the vitriol some of the Bluemooners would come out with if we put in a similar performance to this.
Spit has just claimed that this is by far Wirtz best game. Well, it is a very low bar afterall.
He is also still putting Isaks poor form down to a lack of a pre season

You know they're in the crap when they start making excuses this early in the season.

I don't understand why everybody is so surprised. I said at the start of the season that I didn't understand why they were favourites, because that was Klopp's team, Slot is unproven, their winning points total wouldn't have got them past City in any of the last 6 seasons when we won it, and I thought Wirtz was overrated and that most German players - with obvious exceptions - generally don't do well in the Prem.

Then after their flurry of late winners when some clown on here said we were "light years behind them and it would take us at least 2 years to catch up", I said again that I didn't think they were that good and their bubble would burst sooner rather than later. Not trying to say I told you so but it just seems obvious to me. People get too carried away over a runs of wins and points. They're not a 90-point team.
 
So Wirtz has one decent game for the Dippers and now Carragher is claiming he is the PL Kdb replacement. Not saying he won't turn out to be good signing, but it is far too early to come with a statement like this, but it's spit the dog so I shouldn't be surprised.

They had their pants pulled down and massively overpaid for a 22 year old, he looks nowhere near the quality of any top class midfielder let alone KDB.

More in hope than expectation, from Spit the Scouse, I reckon.

As you say, it was indeed a very low bar.
I was at the game yesterday and I just took it as a win is a win. However, I thought overall it was a pretty poor game with 2 pretty mediocre teams, just one slighty better than the other (marginally so).
I think Slot did the right thing benching Salah and perhaps a brave thing keeping Kerkez in.
Perhaps one of Kerkez's best games, although helped by Bowen not playing at his best. Certainly the case for Wirtz and assisted by Dom.
Long way to go and we are certainly not "back". A case of it going to be a fight to get top 4 this year unless there is a dramatic improvement.
Based on yesterdays game, Sunderland is going to be a real test.

Maybe I missed it but I don't remember any police officers on the terraces pushing fans downwards towards the fences. The police actually didn't kill anyone. The Liverpool fans crushed their own fans to death. The police contributed by their poor management of the situation and covered that up and should be held responsible for that. What's not been highlighted is the FA made clubs erect fences to stop pitch invasions. That prevented fans getting on the pitch when they were being pushed against the fence. They are as guilty as anyone but nothing said. This action alone led to an increase in deaths and injuries. Also who gave the ground a safety certificate when a risk assessment should have identified that it was a high risk like blocking a means of escape. Bradford fire says hello.
I really feel for the bereaved families but just to keep blaming the police hides the responsibility of others.

This isn't really fair.

The Taylor report led to the removal of the pitchside fences, there was widespread condemnation of the state of the ground at the time, so to say "nothing said" ignores the fact that a lot was said about matters like that 30 years ago.

What wasn't said at the time was anything about the role the police played.
