Blows full time! You couldn't make it up.

VAR desperate here. About seven Liverpool players should be booked there for rushing the referee.

Like I said, fuck Liverpool. We're going to win. And Moussa Sissoko is a club legend.

It was always going to happen. This is why performances in recent weeks are so especially disappointing because we have performed well tonight. But we're against a brilliant team who punishes small errors. The attitude of this side needs adjusting. Our big players are performing like a cohort of Sissoko's at the moment. Big game dandies. Not overly disappointed by this result. It was always a free shot for us.

Nunez

He does get the ball, Cwazy Qwansah.

Referee went to whistle there. Then remembered Liverpool are a red team.

Fuck sake! Joelinton with a completely moronic attempt at a pass. Totally brain dead. Put a foot on it fucker.

You know what. I'm sure we all feel it. This level of performance tonight from us is a little bit annoying given the season so far.

Damn it. You beat my sneaky edit. You're too fast!

Get in! Come on Gordon. Let it be the catalyst to go on with it for the season. Over the moon for him.

Gordon just doesn't have it so far this season. Sloppy touches. Terrible passing. And the less said about the finishing the better. He's obviously really low on confidence. Hopefully it turns for him but it's a struggle watching him play at the moment.

That was more calamity all round. Hall shouldn't have left it. And Pope in no one's land.

That's just as much on Tonali for me. Lazy tracking of a player making a run into the box. Really poor after so much good stuff in the first half.

All these yellow cards for them is leading inevitably to one of them deserving a second and not getting it.

That's dirty play. Ruled a "coming together". He runs into him for no reason whatsoever. Except to clout our player and potentially injure him. But hey. It's a coming together. VAR is a joke.

Gordon is useless in front of goal, man. Honestly.

Oh wow! Just wow. Get in!

If nothing else Jesus was a generational talent.

Don't you dare even suggest such nonsense!

Disappointing game. A reminder of how far off we are in certain respects. In my opinion, a big part of our problem comes from a lack of goal threat outside of Isak (and Barnes as a late substitute). Neither Gordon or Joelinton (or Almiron or Murphy) deliver the quantity of goals expected from modern wingers on a consistent basis. Our 8s of Willock and Longstaff also lack for goal output. Willock has the potential but can't string a set of games together. Gordon too but he's been both low on form and shifted around a lot because we're short of options up front. Bruno and Tonali are not noted goalscorers either. And we are a long way short of the threat required from set pieces and corners for a side with CL ambitions. If (and it's the world biggest "if") Wilson can stay fit that will help immensely. But really we're missing a RW with the goal output expected of a club around the top of the PL. We have players capable of spurts of good goal scoring form but outside of Isak and Barnes (in a limited capacity), we lack natural goal scorers. For me it happens too often to be a coincidence that we play well enough to win but instead we lose because we fail to score. It stands out more than ever in games like this one. Against a team near the relegation zone and we cant pick up three points. All too familiar. Football remains a simple game at its core. Goals win games.

International break has thoroughly killed our momentum.

They'll get away with that I think.

Whoever said Kelly looks a player is a fuckin moron.

Shocking lack of composure and maturity in this performance. At both ends of the pitch.
