Good defensive awareness to read the situation and he had another similiar one on the other side helping out Bradley.
Arne will probably laud his performance post match before using him again some time in April.
He's really not, I gave Trent and Robbo shit too. Does that not suit your point?
You give him shit no matter what though.
He’s fucked covering the ground for a lazy cunt.
I think it was @SummerOnions who mentioned were missing someone driving us on in midfield. What we're missing is a captain in the centre of the park. None of the starting 3 are vocal enough to motivate.
We need a stronger personality in the middle.of the pitch

Nah that's not right - he jumped to block a shot, but Cunha was brilliant and switched to the other foot. Cracking goal.
I don't believe the duels one
Who Has The Most Duels Won In The Premier League This Season | StatMuse
Bruno Guimarães has won the most duels in the Premier League this season, with 172 duels won.
I agree in some respects, this place does excel in massive fanny responses to our games, but we completely lost control of that game. Sloppy performances from front to back. That was a worrying display.
I'm not glossing over anything, I've offered plenty of criticism, including in the post you replied too. What I'm not doing though is getting hysterical everytime we don't win a game 3-0.
You do realise we are seven points clear, and joint top on form of supposedly the most competitive league in the world? I know we all have PTSD from seasons past, but you're all acting like we are playing like Spurs or United, it's ridiculous, steel yourselves.
Things to improve on? Absolutely, there always is, especially as our performances aren't quite as hot as they were two months ago, but fifty non ironic posts saying we are awful, fucking shit and what not, despite winning and seeing the game out exactly as I'd expect us to, it's fucking pathetic.
The game certainly became contested, but Wolves were never in control, as neither were we. I always look at big chances in games, and if Wolves had them I'd probably agree with the people saying we were fucking awful, but they didn't. It wasn't a great second half, and we need to improve on that, but thats a long shot away from saying we were fucking awful, and in the end we played the game out well and held on to the win. Games in the Premier league are rarely going to be a walk in the park, I can't believe we still don't all know this.
It seems crazy saying it but bring Hendo on at 70 mins and we would have coasted that
I really hope that behind the scenes we are mad and planning for a mini overhaul this summer cos even if we win the league we won't win it twice like this if others strengthen
I'm just wound up Mystic, worried, hope we don't fuck this up 👍🤞
We used to have a team full of captains, or so it felt... Even the likes of Robbo are quiet, since his own form has dropped so clearly
He's a class act, if we can't get someone like Musiala in the summer....he should be the next 1 on the list.
Ibou was lucky not to get sent off either.
He's a class act, i'd snatch your arm off for him.
After a fairly restful week or two
We are carrying too many average performers. It’s worrying how the next few games will play out.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to MOTD after today's win: "It was mentally difficult the second half because we thought we scored the third, then thought we got a penalty, both situations were correctly handed by the referee.
"They got better and better, we got worse and worse. We had to show a different mentality which we did and got it over the line.
"In a season like this we have played so many great games, but in a season you want to win something you have to win the difficult ones as well when you are not playing your best. We were so close on Wednesday, this time we did survive.
"If you want to achieve something it is not only about bringing the ball out from the back or Mo [Salah] scoring goals, it is also about defending."
On the title race: "If you look at the last few seasons it has mostly been a battle between two teams. As things stand now it mostly looks like between us and Arsenal. I believe they have a 15 game unbeaten run and I think at the start of that we were seven points clear of them and we still are now.
"So, it tells you how well they are doing but also how well we are doing."

I’m going to take some positives out of this game…
We saw a nervy game out despite looking dead on our feet second half
Endo proving his worth again to close games out - hopeful that Slot will use him more from now on (from 65-70 mins on)
Quansah gettign past initial nerves to make a game saving contribution late on - we need him to recover his form.
Jota picking up some much needed fitness to vastly improve our No.9 options
…a flat performance, three points and maybe the kick up the arse we need to get out the traps quickly the next games (before fatigue kicks in)…

The second half wasn't good enough, far from it, and Slot looked fuming walking off the pitch. That said, they did dig in and were smart enough to take the sting out of the game for periods.
It was a game that made me even more nervous about the upcoming run of games. Villa and City both improved in January, and it's showing, and Newcastle can do anyone. If we come out those games 5 or 6 points ahead of Arsenal then I'll be happy.
That fixture against Everton is going is to be another fucking lottery game as well. Everything goes out the window.
Both Forest and United are more than capable of taking points off Arsenal, so I'll be watching on wishing we were not reliant on it.

Aye, as much as we’ve got a tough run of fixtures over the next ten days, Arsenal are facing their own tough run…and haven’t the squad to cope…
Liverpool have won 30 of their 40 matches across all competitions this season, more than any other team in Europe's big five leagues. Only in 2019-20 (37) and 1982-83 (39) have they reached 30 victories in a season in fewer games.
Liverpool have scored two or more goals in 17 successive matches at Anfield in all competitions - their joint-longest run of scoring two or more at home since joining the Football League in 1893 (also 17 from February to November 2019).
This was the first time on record (since 2003-04) that Liverpool failed to attempt a shot in the second half of a Premier League game at Anfield. In fact, it was the first time in this period that the Reds went an entire half of football without attempting a shot in a home league match.

Cunha was impressive. Could he be the answer to our nr 9 issues?
62 mill release clause looks like great value.
Still got my concerns about his attitude but after listening to an interview with teammate and fellow Norwegian, Strand Larsen, it seems that most of it is just an insane will to win. Appaz a great guy off the field. There are no doubts about his ability.
