Bloody Chansiri though, playing Ugbo for 74 minutes.

The effort and heart has at least been there in most games, today they just didn't look arsed. Even a supposed club legend and lifelong Owl looked like he wasn't that bothered.

Compare it to the side we had last season though, that finished top half but Chansiri decimated. Probably only 3 players in today's team that were first choice starters last season, M Lowe, Bannan and Valery (who's being played out of position in midfield because we've got nobody else). Perhaps Iorfa at a push. .

He's been away on international duty and had a long flight back, but he only played about 10 minutes in 2 games so should be reasonably fresh. Think Valery played 2 x 90 minutes for Tunisia, not sure about Fusire.

It's just a random ill-thought out excuse. Because they're Liverpool and everything simply has to mean more. At the risk of sounding even more callous, if he'd played for Spurs or Brighton he'd barely get a mention now. Yes of course the tragic loss will have affected the players who were his mate and they’ll always miss him, but it makes no sense to only use it as a reason after they've lost a game. The half a billion quid of new players didn't know him (probably not on a personal level anyway), and it certainly didn't affect them when they won the first 5 games of the season, or when they've won 3 out of 4 games in the Champions League despite their PL slump. But Liverpool always have to remind everybody that they're the only ones who suffer from tragedies.

Man City once won the title and got relegated the following season.

Any of them, fecking phone autocorrect failure shíte

It was Bamford

Just realised that if we lose they'll have won as many league games at Hillsborough in 2025 as Wednesday, which would be an excruciatingly embarrassing stat. We'd still have 4 home games left, but I wouldn't put any money on us winning anybody them.

Let's score a goal at least, sick of drawing a blank against these, five in a row at the moment. A late Ugbo winner would be the best one but I'll take anything!

How is that not deemed a foul, just because Foden had the shot before getting crunched? Anywhere else on the pitch it's 100% a foul for the late challenge and I've seen reds given. I'm not even sure the ball was out of play when he was hit.

Commentator on whichever overseas stream I'm watching is digging out the "missing their mate Jota" excuse. Despite it not seeming to affect them in Champions League games, or in the PL games that they won.

As amusing as their recent form has been, I can't remember them ever getting a proper spanking at home let alone against a side near the bottom, so this is extra sweet.

Liverpool, again
