Tnt sports anchor just said it was the highest scoring game we've had in Europe for 25 years... And I was trying to think of when in the 70s or 80s we had a mad game... Then she said it was the 2001 europa / uefa cup win against Alves... Time, eh...

Have I missed the presence of another in our squad who carries the familial name of Barcola such that Bradley feels the need to have his first name initial on the shirt!! Do we have a Nigel Barcola, or a Keith...

The point about taking him out of the side to build his confidence back up is well made. I'd have a midfield trio of mac, grav and dom behind a front 3 with Barcola, Isak and probably Gakpo on the right. Wirtz can rotate for the left hand side or his current position as and when games allow for it. Positionally and physically he's not de bruyne but I've been waiting for him to become as impactful as kev the red and dominate this league. Those aspirations are collapsing and he's looking more and more like a vladimer smicer... Lovely player, some nice touches, but just not imposing enough physically or personality wise to take over a game.. Any game. (would settle for him scoring in a champions league winning side though!) If Wirtz is going to come good it's going to come from being rotated in, otherwise we're gonna kill him and us waiting for it to come good

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Araujo, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Koumas, Munoz, Wirtz, Barcola. Man City XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Guehi, O'Reilly, Fernandez, Anderson, Semenyo, Cherki, Ndiaye, Haaland.

Surely just a incessant repetition of 'cheats cheats cheats' is something the whole ground can participate in, other grounds can repeat, and will become a growing embarrassment to the league and broadcasters hastening the need for a quick resolution Aside from the chant my biggest gripe with today is that we have no way of knowing if these points mean anything. 5 other teams didn't take points. If we do that is to our advantage but if all their points are null and void, it's been a waste of time. If we lose will that be meaningless also.

Iraola mentioned koumas as the only fit #9 out of the four we have.. Isak, Hugo... Who's the other one??

The greatest trick pep ever pulled was convincing the world 115 charges didn't exist

Scrappy win in a tough,tight away game against a well organised club who should feel well patronised by all the focus on how non-super amazing we were. 3 pts and our number 9 got the winner. Job done. Move on.

Macca on second 90 in a row. The only midfielder the boss truly trusts

Watching footie on my BIL's Swedish subscription is so much better than having to suffer the insufferable malaise that is carragher's whining narrative.. This game is like a thousand others. There's been very little in it, scrappy, dull, in which not every moment is tiktok highlights reel worthy, but we're one nil up. Get in.

Was his own fault. Kerkez an easy scapegoat there but he was playing in the direction we are facing

Chelsea game scheduled, on the beeb, to be on Tuesday 27th after playing in Sunday 25th..surely that gets pushed back a day?

For the next game that is a hard watch

What tune? KISS, Richard Marx...? So many contrasting options

Ah sure Giles and Dunphy would've loved Dom

Alright Nigel!

Really like the cut of Iraola's jib

Both full backs were behind the centre halfs

It'll be Ward
