Salah is so outrageously greedy. I can see why Mané hates playing with him

Niice to see both Liverpool's 2nd and 3rd goals which could have been checked for handball had not even the slightest scrutiny on them. For the record I don't think either were but both needed more than a cursory look - where was the every angle slow motion replay effectively trying to spot the handball and look for any reason to chalk it off?

I suspect even at our very best we wouldn't have beaten them tonight, they've been very good. It just felt like a bit of a meh goal, not an amazing move, just a tossed in cross that didnt get cleared that well.

People on twitter blaming Leno for the third goal. Leno must think he’s living in a Christopher Nolan movie where he’s being judged on his actions that are occurring in a parallel dimension not the actual present day.

I’ve not seen any criticism (that wasn’t in jest) of Leno other than what you’ve just described. He came and then retreated because it was landing right on Luiz’s head, seems fair enough. Unless he’d been loitering on his right post for no reason he had no chance with the save. Keeper the last area of concern in this team.

Blamed for not saving a shot that went in off the post? or not coming to claim the cross? It was Luiz's poor header and lack of cover on the edge of the box to blame. I see CB make those headers, they cant quite get enough power on it so they should just be heading it back out towards the touchline rather than in to the centre of the goal

It would be huge Pépé has the technical skills of en elite player but sadly does not have the footballing brain or mentality of an elite player. We probably paid £45m too much for him on the evidence of the last season or so.

Is it me or is Lazazette a yard slower than he used to be, not just in terms of pure pace but in terms of the speed with which he turns and gets shots away and things like that.

We were better second half and I thought Holding did better second half too. Was strong in several one-v-ones. Probably not top four standard but did ok tonight.

Ceballos made a huge difference when he came on, much more mobile and confident in possession and threaded several defence splitting passes.

Martinez made a ballsup today as well but luckily for him the goal was disallowed so this is no Leno hating.

Absolutely- numerous instances of him passing to players who are being closed down or about to be. Pépé 72 mil and he can’t take a decent corner. Why Arteta continually refuses to pick or bring on Saka is of more concern. He can make a difference. We were totally outplayed and as was previously mentioned - Leeds gave them a game - we didn’t.

Odd that we didn't bring on Saka after his midweek performance. I think Arteta has made some dubious selection and substitution calls but has largely got away with them. Tonight he didn't.

Leno isn’t responsible for the tactics, he didn’t put a foot wrong in that game. People also suggesting he should have come for the second goal and took it off both Bellerin and holdings head. Cancel culture in effect.

That Liverpool performance was streets ahead of how they played against Leeds. They were really sloppy against Leeds. Listen to Klopp's interview. He was buzzing. He thought they were brilliant tonight and he was right.

I’ve been thinking the same for a while socrates. Lacazette is only 29 so shouldn’t be noticeably slower, but I have to agree that he is looking slower. I suppose he was never that quick anyway, so maybe it’s my imagination rather than him actually being slower. His miss when the Ceballos through ball gave him a one on one was very disappointing.

He had 3 golden chances tonight, one he took but it was more of a miskick than a composed finish, the 2nd he tried a dink but the execution was poor (notwithstanding that it was offside) and the 3rd just lacked composure.

Liverpool away is on paper our hardest game of the season. We lost but after being completely outplayed in the first half, we at least gave them a game in the second half.

Most of not all teams will lose to Liverpool with the way they played tonight, particularly first half. The biggest disappointment for me was how we couldn’t or didn’t utilise the one big thing that Liverpool were weak with, that ball over the top. Liverpool press so high to keep pressure and keep attacking, the deeper run and ball over the top we’re the only times we looked dangerous and it was a ball we should have played far far more. The difficulty was getting the time on the ball to pick the pass. In hindsight Ceballos should have started. There were 3-4 occasions in the time he was on the pitch where he was just so calm under the press, realising that Liverpool were cutting off passing channels rather than coming for him directly, so turn, head up, awareness and dribble 10-15 yards out of trouble, commit the man and make the pass. Xhaka and Elneny will never be able to do that. I posted recently about the left sided CB being overly weighted as our best and was worried at the time that we’d need to have balance over Picking the best 3 players. Gabriel is better than Holding but I can understand why Holding was picked. I think we need to see Saliba v Liverpool in the cup on Thursday A moan about var. why no slow mo critical review of the Mané elbow and the jota handball? I hate the handball rule but that ball for Jota’s goal was so close to brushing his arm, or did brush his arm. No problem if it was reviewed and the goal given but to not even give it the scrutiny other handballs have been is not good. Watch the Mané yellow card in the 3rd minute, excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent? I’d say so, he clearly looks for Tierney, has his forearm out and follows it through like a punch to Tierneys face. I’m not surprised it wasn’t a red given the status of the team and that it was the 3rd minute but again it didn’t even get a var review where the ref was asked if he might want to look at it again. Finally the Lacazette chance, so frustrating, ultimately it would have probably spurred Liverpool on to score again, I think they would have won at least 3-2 but those are massive chances in big games. Can’t miss them simple as that.
