@SimonBrundish Interesting if true but where's the data needed to prove the key point?

@davidlynchlfc Slot's only tactic is try to draw the other team out, then play through them. Last night's opposition didn't need inviting.

The difference in terms of intensity between this and the Spurs game is night and day. It doesn’t have to be perfect - Liverpool haven’t been - but the crowd will respond if they see a team putting in the effort.

@Livin_Liverpool Or even their own legs

@Livin_Liverpool It's the colour of the kit. None of the players can see where any of the other players are.

Anyone understands the tactics behind this style of play?

@LFChistory Sorry to hear about your troubles

Hello again, Reds! Following a few weeks’ absence, we’re back on all our social media channels. Due to some copyright issues regarding images on our website, we’ve had to make some difficult decisions. Unfortunately, a lot of our previous content has been deleted. [THREAD]

Who will move the stone?

@SamueILFC Meh

Ibrahima Konate will be in the squad against Newcastle.

My monologue on what the new world order means for Britain, from @TimesRadio today: For those of you who’ve not yet copped that we’re at a watershed in global politics I suggest you have a read of Mark Carney’s speech in Davos yesterday. It’s not often a Canadian prime minister charts a seminal change in world politics. But Carney, a former governor of the Bank of England, has.  This is the key passage: “Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy, and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration. And as a result, many countries are drawing the same conclusions—that they must develop greater strategic autonomy: in energy, food, critical minerals, in finance and supply chains. And this impulse is understandable. A country that can’t feed itself, fuel itself or defend itself has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself.” Coming from a fully-paid up member of the liberal global elite, this is dynamite. Carney says the era of global integration is over and that what he calls ‘middle powers’, like Canada and the UK, who benefitted from it and got used to working through global institutions — like the WTO, the UN, COP, NATO, the EU — need to realise the game is up.  If you can’t feed, fuel and defend yourself in this new world of rupture you’re finished. So these are his priorities for Canada. He’s junked a lot of his net zero baggage to increase Canada’s energy security. He’s moving from multilateral to bilateral deals he thinks will benefit Canada, most recently with China. And he’s doubling spending on defence.  The British government should take stock. Carney’s world of rupture has been brought about by Donald Trump’s wrecking ball approach to the rules-based world order that has served us so well these past 80 years.  It’s played into the hands of the autocrats of Moscow, Beijing and elsewhere who want to replace that world order with a system far more attuned to their interests. Trump is obliging them.    Food. Fuel. Defence. These are Carney’s watchwords for a scary new world in which middle powers need to seek strategic autonomy when old alliances and multinational institutions no longer work. They should guide British policy too.  We need to be able to feed ourselves better. To be able to count on cheap, secure sources of energy. And to be able to defend ourselves from multiple and growing threats. At the moment the Starmer government is doing none of the above.  Instead it is lumbering business with the most expensive energy costs in the world and households with the second or third most expensive domestic energy in the world.  It is pursuing a multi-billion pound dash to net zero while adding only a few crumbs to the defence budget.  And it’s covering good farming land with solar panels.  It would be hard to think of a set of policies less designed to give us the strategic autonomy Carney thinks middle powers must strive for.  Britain needs a step change in its energy, food and defence policies. The billions earmarked for net zero need to be diverted to rearming the nation.  We need an energy policy that couples secure supplies with lower prices so that we can start to rebuild some of our heavy industry, essential to defence.  And we need a farm policy that champions growing food once more rather than prioritising various fashionable environmental wheezes.  None of this is likely to happen under the Starmer government. The PM has no vision or aptitude for such a strategy. His party is a prisoner to old 20th century ways of thinking, as is much of British politics on the left and right.  But unless the Carney challenge is recognised and policy changed in radical ways to meet it, we risk not only further economic decline in the rest of this decade but growing vulnerability to the evil intent of our enemies. And without America at our back to protect us.

@eddiegibbs Use your own words and I'll read it

‼️ If standards matter, Liverpool cannot pretend much longer So Manchester United have sacked Ruben Amorim this morning and Chelsea have already torn up their latest plan, both clubs reacting to performances and results they judged unworthy of their status. Chaos, yes, but also conviction. They have decided that what they are watching is not good enough and acted accordingly. I believe Liverpool should already have done the same with Arne Slot, and I know many do not agree, even now. That disagreement does not change the standard Liverpool set for themselves last season. They were champions. Not hopefuls, not rebuilders, champions. That matters. There is a lazy comfort in pointing at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge and telling ourselves that Liverpool are nothing like them. It misses the point. Big clubs do not measure themselves against disorder elsewhere. They measure themselves against what they know they can be. Liverpool proved what they can be only months ago. Slot did not inherit a broken side or a fractured dressing room. He inherited momentum, authority and belief. This season’s output has drained all three. The football has dulled, the edge has softened, and too often the explanation arrives quicker than the solution. At Liverpool, that has never been enough. United and Chelsea look chaotic, but their actions reveal something Liverpool once understood instinctively. Titles raise expectations, they do not buy time. When performances slip, sentiment becomes a luxury. This is not about copying rivals or embracing their instability. It is about refusing to let lowered expectations creep in unnoticed. Liverpool did not win the league last season to become patient observers of decline. If others choose to tolerate the present, that is their right. Liverpool’s history suggests they should know better.

@BassTunedToRed per match: Liverpool 0.27 Leeds 0.51

"Liverpool produced 10.4 xG through set pieces in their 38 Premier League matches in 2025 while Leeds have amassed 9.2 in their 18. That makes you feel better ahead of Thursday, doesn’t it?" Aaron Briggs is out. Assessing Liverpool's Slot era set plays: andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/aaron-briggs…

@dlmjnk We might be forced back into real life

Not knowing whether an image or video is AI or real is soul destroying.

@LiamBekker @LFC Isak could achieve much at Liverpool; sadly hitting the ground running has passed him by.

@LFC Well deserved. Not long before he hits the ground running for us too 💪

Congrats, Alex 👏 Alexander Isak was named 2025 Swedish Men's Player of the Year last night 🏆🇸🇪

@Footballtweet Diogo Jota

🎥 Watch this video of Bayern's Lennart Karl and tell me the 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 he reminds you of. I know we're all thinking of the same person.

@beth_lindop I agree but it's possible to read it another way: what if he's not petulant but he's a fan. He cares about the club, more than Slot does, and picking someone to provide vital goals and assists? You don't ask "Who's been fighting for their place?" You ask "Who's the best player?"

Think Mohamed Salah’s biggest error last night was admitting he feels he shouldn’t have to “fight” for his place. Frustration at being dropped is totally fine but a senior player suggesting he doesn’t have to earn his place because of past achievements is petulant and wrong.

@Livin_Liverpool He's saving himself for his country

You can see in Salah's eyes that he is fuming.

@runloop Help! I used to be able to call individual workouts directly using iPhone shortcuts. Now the shortcuts simply open S Pro. Not even finding the right folder.

A major news story that will not get the coverage it deserves: Over 300 schoolchildren and 12 teachers have been abducted by gunmen from St. Mary’s School, a Catholic institution in north-central Nigeria’s Niger state. This updates an earlier count of 215 schoolchildren. The students are male and female, ranging in age from 10 to 18. Their kidnapping happened four days after 25 schoolchildren were seized in similar circumstances in neighboring Kebbi state. Nobody yet claimed responsibility.

@Livin_Liverpool Don't embarrass yourself

Anfield or not, who else deserves to be booed on Sunday? Pepijn Lijnders 🐍
