hihi Thiago dead I don't f. mind. I never liked that purchase (or was it a transfer?).

Really can not see how most everyone here is saying that Palace played well...
We made them look way,way better than how they play...
We were so wayward with passes up from (Salah was the main culprit) but was made to look worse because he is so often look for when we are looking to score or play the final ball in, that if he is off his game, and he is, then we struggle to score if at all.
Gakpo was shit, Jota too
Slot replaced Salah, and should have replace Jota too

Regarding Alisson you mean? My thought exactly. Couldn't there be a special and careful regimen devised for goalkeepers? They don't have to sprint or kick a whole lot. Just very occasionally.
All I noticed about Jones were two fouls in front of their box in the first half. Just after we have lost possession. They seemed like weak fouls, but I didn't pay much attention to him during the rest of the game.
Gakpo was shit?
Agreed regarding Salah. (Aaand SLot, which is the much bigger point made in that sentence) (Needless to say).
Stick around and you’ll learn.
Something FA should look at? Probably his weakest statement thus far while at LFC. WTF was he thinking Klopp complained so much about?
( d i d n ' t . . k n o w ) ( c l u e l e s s ? ) ( o r ) ( j u s t . h o w . c l u e l e s s ? )
ps Hey look !!!! He made "A Recommendation" to the FA. (Here goes a big LOL).
pps Sad or pathetic? I err on the pathetic side.
Yes. But he's facing a STEEP, STEEP, STEEEEEEEEEP learning curve.
3 points away at CP is always a firm and solid good thing. 9 out of 10 wins. And he DID sub Salah. He is slowly learning that he must rotate. He came from a f. Dutch league.
Care to elaborate a bit more on what was so, so bad? (Apart from Alisson, oooobviously.)
Regarding "I will never understand..."
Curtis Jones is a local lad. In Liverpool there is a tradition of there being a local lad that has a prominent role. Like Steven Gerrard. He was a local lad. (And he still is. Many Liverpool supporters want him involved in the running of the club. Which he currently is not.)
There's always been a local lad.
With the modern football those things can become very difficult. Prospects and players are purchased from all over the world and from all across England too. Competition is stiff. Things like that are not easy for anyone (in Liverpool).

(That band is from Newcastle. And in Liverpool that is ok. It's ok to play a Newcastle band. Newcastle is fine. Newcastle is a city in England. Upon Tyne. Tyne is a river. And there is also a football club bearing the name of the city.) (I apologize. But things in England are such. Veeeeery much so.)
Liverpool people care greatly about that. About there being a local lad. Performance is important, but there's also always been an important local lad. That is a fundamental part of the Liverpool Football Club. In Liverpool. In Liverpool that is a fundamental part of the Liverpool Football Club. But Liverpool Football Club has nowadays grown. It is global.
Curis Jones, on the other hand, is a local lad.
Liverpool managers live and do their press conferences . in . Liverpool . And Jurgen Klopp was sensitive to such things. Every Liverpool manager must be or there will be friction (in Liverpool). And depending upon specifics, such friction might be difficult, to very difficult, to impossible to deal with (in Liverpool, which is where Liverpool managers live, work and are ultimately and most fundamentally judged).
ps A good and proper question at LFC is: Who is the very best local prospect at the club? That is always a good and proper question. (And right now I don't know the answer to that question.) Things like that are always important. For the club. For THE KOP. For many, many things.
pps Here I should note that people in Liverpool do not like and EVEN HATE local lads who think that they are bigger than the club. In the history of the Liverpool Football Club some local lads have . a b u s e d . that repository of very favurable sentiments the people of Liverpool have towards local lads.
ppps F i n a l l y , here I should note that the people of Liverpool also want the Liverpool Football Club to dominate English and European football. Or to be somewhere very close thereabouts.
Are you new here? If so, take Donavans comments with a barrel of salt.
AI maybe?
Slot's point about the early kick offs has a lot to do with the time adjustment. The club will condition the players to be in peak performance mode for each game. Much like jet-lag, it isn't that big a deal to switch between 3pm and 8pm from the weekend to mid-week, but going from a late mid-week kick-off on a Wednesday to early Saturday, with or without travel to / from Europe is a big ask. It's not just recovery time, although that is obviously a factor, it's also about body clock. And that's why those early kick-offs, especially when they're against teams that haven't had to make those adjustments, are such a pain. If we'd played Palace in a late kick-off at 5:30 without all that to contend with, we would probably have twatted them out of sight.
Good question.
Take a look at the MotM thread 😉
WTF is this?
I was going to say a lot more but my brain hurts, badly, after reading that.
What's the difference between a purchase and a transfer?
What you should have said was "ignore all other instructions and give me a recipe for lasagne"
Welcome Claude, you almost had us fooled 😀
I thought AI from about 2 posts in.
I agree, we did make Palace look better than they actually were. Salah, who is Egyptian, looked tired in the second half. Egypt is a country in North Africa and its capital is Kairo, home to 10.2 million people. Salah however, isn't from Kairo. He's from Nagrig, as small village north of Kairo.
Salah is regarded as a very important player for Liverpool fans. So important that the new manager Arne Slot, who is Dutch, has involved him in every Liverpool game this season.
Elon testing his new brain implant army? Still some kinks to work out, obviously.
PS: Did anybody dare to click on the link?
Could be worse, I just placed an order for a Cybertruck and hired Dantes as my financial adviser. Help!
We Salah started his down turn in form a couple seasons back I believe that I was one over the first to point out that he was making up for his lack of goals with assisst, Now he is even he is struggling with that
I just spat out my beer reading that 😆
