Brighton 100% the best team Liverpool have played this season, unreal technical floor & bravery in possession
Not a finance expert but surely slide tackling the ball with your head to prevent a goal triggers the option to buy?
Would rather drag my nether regions through a mile of broken glass than be the defending fullback on Bradley Barcola’s side of the pitch
Assignment from hell
Next time you see someone rolling their eyes at praise of Wirtz’s work rate, remember how toothless Liverpool’s press looks without him.
Gravenberch currently struggling to bring even 1/4th of the required intensity/sharpness.

Nine chances created from Florian Wirtz v Brentford (all from open play).
No Liverpool player on record (from 2003-04) has ever created more in a single Premier League game. #LFC
The Isak touch to set himself is genuinely mind-boggling. I am confounded. My gast is thoroughly flabbered
Micah Parsons’ recent interview about his ACL recovery was interesting- his team told him being cautious in recovery is less about fear of reinjuring the ligament and more about avoiding overcompensations. He could probably play tmw, but then all of a sudden his hip hurts, etc

The Sportswashico, where the world observes with morbid curiosity, the true nadir of the game as the states collide in unity against the oppressive rules of sport
Speaks to both Wirtz’s lack of confidence & incredible quality that I couldn’t remember the last time I saw him try to take on his man but when he just did it was the most elegant, game-breaking example of his talent.

The Wirtz-situation is a train wreck. It's a mixture of wrong expectations, incorrect role and playstyle, resulting confidence issues.
And, tragically, it looks as if his teammates *don't want to play with him.*
None of these are mega bad, but they're adding up.

It’s funny to hear commentators presenting City and their fans as righteously defiant against some unfair treatment. All this praise about their defiant attitude and their togetherness. As if the world of football came together to tear down an underdog.
