@GagsTandon Who comes in as manager? That is the question. There’s no clear top level candidate. It needs to be to be a positive decision on a manager, not a negative one on the incumbent.

I'm still adamant they will let him go at the end of the season. A performance like this season's is unacceptable after a league win & the investment we have made I know many of you feel the opposite & that he will stay & deserves it. I don't believe that, and I could be wrong.

@DaleJohnsonBBC The VAR was Attwell. 35 games without a subjective call for Liverpool. We could all see the pin change on the ball. Zoom just confirmed it.

The VAR cannot use the ultra-zoom which Sky showed in the replay several minutes after the goal.

@anLFCfan We have no buildup. Kerkez and Frimpong did the same thing first half. Given up

Our keeper continually hoofing the ball long is not how we play football. Why has no-one told him?

@anLFCfan Couldn’t compete physically! Wait for the 2nd leg when they play after 6 days off while we grind again.

Admire the brainless optimism of some but that match went exactly as some of us quite reasonably feared. Better than us at football and we couldn't compete physically either. Never laid a glove on them. They'll be quite furious, could've been 4 or 5. Hell, maybe even six seven.

@anLFCfan Mac was awful today. You’d think Jones coming on would slow down the middle and transport, but Slot kept Mac there. He won’t rotate him. It’s a huge blind spot

This is what happens when you play a midfielder at RB again and again and again. We don't deserve to qualify for the CL. Watch Gala knock us out on Wed. Fucking appalling performance.

@anLFCfan Dominating, but nothing that clear apart from Dom goal and Gapko hit post. Rio beating his man but not a lot else. Waiting for the fasting reinforcements.

Missed the first half, how are we playing?

@SimonBrundish Shame he can’t steal it off Jim Beglin

Ste Warnock speaks utter gubbins Stealing a fucking leaving that lad

@1CraigFisher @anLFCfan Gordon is a moron

I wouldn’t take Gordan on a free 😂 how small does the ambition have to be to be ffs

@anLFCfan I agree. I hate needing a right back and messing up the midfield for it. Hugo, Wirtz, Salah/Gakpo and Dom is plenty up top. Dom can play 10 and 6 at the same time!

@Kam_LFC Tired of saying it but we had a title winning midfield and we're fucking tinkering with it. No space in this team for both Gakpo and Salah if Wirtz and Ekitike are playing.

Get Gakpo or Salah off, Jones on and get Szobo back in midfield. We are all over the place.

@ViktorFagerLFC Aussie rules yes!! Where they have no shirt sleeves.

@Kam_LFC I did watch some Australian rugby (or football? not sure what its called) many years back. That shit slapped!

It was enough to knock the player down. It’s a clear VAR penalty

@ViktorFagerLFC What! International Rugby Union is glorious!

@Kam_LFC I'm fortunate enough to have never watched rugby in my life lol

@ViktorFagerLFC Ever seen a rugby player do an ankle tap tackle? It’s a clear contact that inverts the foot and brings the player down.

@Kam_LFC It's a minuscule movement. And only to plant his foot. Yeah it's unlucky Frim rolled his ankle but like the touch couldn't get tinier.

@ViktorFagerLFC He taps and inverts Frimpong’s ankle while Frimpongs foot is still in the air. It’s clumsy and it tripped him up.

@Kam_LFC Hincapie isn't doing anything.

@anLFCfan There’s a lot of promising short passing and moving just outside their box. Getting better all the time. When they really click it’s going be beautiful.

Not great but not awful by any means. I think we win this game.

@anLFCfan Does Harry Kane still do that? Not watched him for ages but this was his specialty

Players need banning for a few games even after matches for fouls like these.

@HendrickD82 @skengdr1 @Mobyhaque1 That “stupidity” won the league when Klopp couldn’t. The issue was adding Wirtz, losing Trent and expecting it would still be enough to dominate midfield.

@skengdr1 @Mobyhaque1 And the reason they didn't go for an alternative is because Arne stupidity things Gravenberch is a good 6.

Re: Our recruitment. Jurgen Klopp was our Manager. Arne Slot is our coach. Edwards/Hughes did recruitment based on profile we need & Arne coaches. I do wonder if players we signed were actually vetted by Arne or if he had any say in players brought in. What’s your thoughts?

@TaintlessRed What are you watching? You can point to many problems but his speed is not one of them.

Kerkez is too slow btw. He's got this bustling style and he's intense but he has no acceleration. Noticeable from preseason, any average paced winger outpaces him. He's not positionally smart enough or calm enough to compensate for it.

@anLFCfan @henrywinter Not from Oliver. He didn’t review the specific line of sight carefully. Don’t forget the Doku non foul on MacAllister’s right tit! That desperate linesman screeching “Robertson, Robertson, Robertson “ was also moonlighting In UAE with Oliver.

@henrywinter Hmmm City have had fewer controversial *decisive* decisions go against them I think you'll find, statistically over the last 10 years. Not everything is tribalism. Of course City fully deserved the win but not every team that deserves to win necessarily wins.

Just watched Howard Webb on Mic’d Up and I’m even more confused over why Virgil van Dijk’s header was ruled out. The controversy cannot mask that Liverpool were deservedly tonked by a superior Manchester City, that Arne Slot’s team and tactics were all over the place and that all clubs have similarly questionable decisions go against them. This debate shouldn’t become mired in tribalism, but focus on the need for the best league in the world to have the best officiating. Football doesn’t belong to Stockley Park but to fans and players, who deserve the whole execution of VAR to be improved. The controversy highlights that officials need to be more consistent and PGMO come up with more convincing explanations. The audio from officials emphasised Andy Robertson being “in line of vision” of Gianluigi Donnarumma, even “directly in front of him” which wasn’t the case. As Webb himself acknowledged, Donnarumma “does see the ball all the way”. If anyone was inhibiting Donnarumma’s line of vision it was his team-mate, Jeremy Doku. And is Robertson’s ducking “an obvious action which clearly impacted an opponent’s ability to play the ball”? Clearly not, he was away from Donnarumma. There are good officials in the Premier League; the fact that some are deployed by Fifa and Uefa to handle challenging games abroad (international and European competitions) reflects that. It’s also good that Webb shows accountability and attempts to explain decisions, even if many people, and not just Liverpool fans, feel the explanations in-game and on Mic’d Up don’t add up. The decision has been and gone, the focus will soon move on to another game and another controversy. VAR is here to stay. It's the standard of some officiating, and execution of the technology, that still needs work. #MCILIV #LFC
