I’m taking the nuclear option. It worked last year and it will work this. I’m forgoing the forum for the remainder of the season. I did it after the Forest game last season. On a more serious note, I’m sure we’ll turn this around but maybe too late to win the league.

As I was saying

Panic from the manager, changing three of his last back four. Wide open

Great bit of time wasting this from Chelsea just as momentum shifts. Taylor having a great laugh with the Chelsea lads

Any confidence we’ll turn it around?

Szob for Bradley, Wirtz in 10

They’ve scored from a total of 0.1 xg

Just hand the ball to their keeper when we get a corner. Saves us time and less chance of being caught on break

Do they get camomile tea and xanax before kick off these days

We turn up really meek every game and never just get the ball to Isak and Salah and f***ing go for it

Liverpool: Mamardashvili, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Szoboszlai, Isak, Mac Allister, Salah, Bradley, Gakpo, Gravenberch. Subs: Woodman, Gomez, Endo, Wirtz, Chiesa, Jones, Ekitike, Robertson, Frimpong.

He’s being g way to negative. We’re league champions and we’re top of the league and he’s telling our rivals not only are we struggling now but we struggled last season and we don’t know how to fix it. Should be out and proud: You think we’re struggling. We’re the champions and top of the league. Struggling? Struggling is only scoring when four of your players kidnap the keeper from a corner so you can get a free header. Struggling! We’ve the best striker in the world and the best playmaker in Europe to come in. Struggling my a***.

On the one hand, we haven't really played well since February's back to backs v City and Newcastle On the other, we have a chance to put VVD, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, New Szoboszolai, Wirtz, Salah, Ekitike and Isak on the same pitch.

Would have expected Slot to be more bullish, rather than just agreeing that teams have changed the way they play against us.

We’re so naive- always after Everton matches and games like this complaining about how the ref fell for their tricks. But we have no tricks and no in-game management about how to play the ref ourselves. And we should really have put off this rebuild until next season and strolled to the league playing last year’s football.

Good, our lads need a rocket up their a*** as they seek to end this losing streak

I see Arteta has won the league again

One of the many worries this season (still top of the league and 100% in other competitions I know) is our habit of conceding the same goal twice in games. Bournemouth: two similar counterattacks Newcastle: two set pieces Atlético: same midfielder let run and halfheartedly blocked and deflected Palace: Headers from second balls from set pieces We just haven’t looked consistently defensively solid since about February. It is weird because in other games like Arsenal we’ve showed we can resist pressure. I’m not sure buying two very small full backs when the world rediscovers hoofball and set pieces is going to help. And another defender with his head turned by Madrid. Here’s hoping it all settles down and our mismatched attacking riches bail us out.

I think this season will be the season last season could have been: rebuilding and bedding in new players. We might ride it out if we can stop conceding two a game and Slot figures out to accommodate Isak, Wirtz, Ekitike and Salah.

It’s outnumbers their two in midfield and pressures the back three. I think this could be our best team m, but all depends on Wirtz.

Chelsea got him own judo coach to teach him how to dive properly- we didn’t. Bild, the tabloid one, have us in for Upamecano The Mail have something on us closing in on Getafe. Hope he’s a centre back

Isak should be ready for 90 minutes or damn close. We played an hour in a tough CL match, so after two decent stints and pklenty of training since, he should be up for 90 minutes 10 days on.

It's a shame he didn't miss and then he'd be available for the Palace game.

He’s out of the Palace match. We should play Chiesa in all three attacking positions anyway
