Twitter being down is lowering the average age of this place by at least 20 years

I'm having to get my AnfieldSector updates through WhatsApp. This is no way to live, Samuel.

DMs down on Thursday, notifications down on Friday, and now the entire timeline down today. Remarkable consistency at delivering a terrible end user experience.

I'm hoping Wolves was just a bit of mental fatigue from the derby and potentially even a little bit of arrogance and thinking it's done at HT. We saw us scrap past Southampton 3-2 before beating Madrid and City in the following days, so I'm not worried about that performance in isolation.

Useful that they're a very emotional side and fanbase too. If we win during a weekend where they drop points, they'll go in to total meltdown. Hopefully Nottingham Forest do their Robin Hood tribute act and grab a point or three against them.

Apologies Dave, I'll refrain from being nervous for a football game in your presence again. My hope is to one day be as clearly well adjusted as you are.

My reckoning is that if we got into the international break with an 8 point lead then we're unbelievably well placed. So that allows us a draw in the next 4 on the basis that Arsenal drop against Forest/United/Chelsea.

My favourite/least favourite stat is that Unai Emery has only won a single game against Liverpool. It was, of course, the Europa League final. Besides that, there is no team he's managed 10+ games against that he has a worse record against. Managed to win myself over in the end.

I was thinking this recently but wasn't sure if the contract situation was clouding my view. I think it's partially down to him not being as emotional on the pitch. Never in a million years does he do what Jones did with Doucoure, for instance.

Disgraceful from you. If you want to not be suspended, tweet more like Kanye has over the last 48 hours.

barry @backseatsmanlfc.bsky.social · 10/02/2025
Put it this way, you're a noticeable miss from my timeline on the other place. I figured you had to be suspended when I hadn't seen anything from you about the Plymouth game.

Wow. Those couple of corners. The James McConnell deflected shot. That lad losing his tooth. Tsimikas fighting for his life to defend his own first touch. Now this is the magic of the cup.

If by the end of tonight we can say that we both reached a cup final and bullied Richarlison off the pitch, I'll be very happy. Halfway there.

Good new video on LFCTV with Gravenberch. Can tell he's obsessed with the club and the fans. Enjoyed seeing him recalling the atmosphere vs Brighton and the Allez Allez Allez in the League Cup final. Only been here 18 months but he really gets the club.

Everything about that felt fucking massive

Hesitant to say it because he could do something mad at any moment, but especially in this 2nd half Robbo has been on it

Slot's reaction to that goal. Barry's reaction to that goal. That could end up being massive.

I think I might be in the minority of people who actually enjoyed that half. At least with the context of knowing we usually improve in the second half. We had plenty of half-chances, improve on just a couple, stop falling over in midfield, and we'll put this to bed.

Very happy for James McConnell after hearing Slot praise him so much after the game. Out of that whole "Klopp's kids" group it's always felt like he's the one that gets most forgotten, despite arguably being the most impressive in the cup final. Looking forward to seeing more in the FA Cup.

We're the best team in this league and it's not actually remotely close

I did a results predictor and had Monaco, Sporting, Brest and Juventus, but that was predicting Juventus to draw at home vs Benfica. I do really like that this is something to look at going into the final game though. Usually group stages were done with a game to go. Better this way.

Lots about us potentially getting a tough RO16 draw with the 15th-18th placed teams, but worth noting that City can no longer finish in those spots, Bayern's next game is Sl. Bratislava (H), Madrid - Brest (A), Juve - Benfica (H). Likely they all move up, and PSG with Stuttgart (A) might not win.

barry @backseatsmanlfc.bsky.social · 22/01/2025
Yeah, so they're the positions to keep an eye on over the next week. City, PSG, Madrid and Juventus all hovering around those positions though...

Just about. But that's mainly due to having played lots of seasons in FM under the new format, and UEFA having this live bracket that tracks changes as they happen. www.uefa.com/uefachampion...

Surely Endo has to start against PSV 😂 I didn't mind Gravenberch's involvement yesterday, especially for just 45, but we've boxed off the league phase now.

barry @backseatsmanlfc.bsky.social · 22/01/2025
How long do we reckon until Chiesa can start a game for us? I'm hoping it'll be PSV next week but given how cautious we've been with his fitness I can see us waiting until Plymouth. Would love to see more of him from the left too rather than just as a Salah backup.

50 European goals for Mo Salah, and 50 Champions League games for Alisson and Virgil van Dijk for #LFC last night. More numbers on that, plus when did Liverpool last score two left-footed goals from outside the box in a single game? 🤔 mreidstats.substack.com/p/lille-h-20...
Mo Salah tops the list of Liverpool's all-time European competition scorers, with 50 goals in 83 appearances.

United haven't scored with this wingback pairing. United average under a goal a game away from home. United haven't scored at Anfield since 2018. United are fucking shit. So can someone please explain to me why I'm bricking it like we're about to play a CL final?

Clearly his team weren't buying into that philosophy initially but he's managed to get them to follow his way of thinking now

Chelsea had the chance to go top 8 days ago against Everton. They're now 10 points behind. Going to ignore the context and laugh. What a season.

Yeah, what young talents have they successfully developed in the last decade? Shaw, Martial and Depay were all extremely highly rated when they went there. Rashford when he broke through. None have come close to their suggested potential.

Leny Yoro had interest from Liverpool, Madrid and United and this is what he picked (likely with some heavy influence from incentivised agents, but still). Very funny.

One of our midfielders was directly responsible for a goal we conceded and I still can't recall a better midfield performance from a Liverpool team in a long, long time

I see we're back to the stage where an offside flag essentially turns the game into football's equivalent of the purge where you can do whatever the fuck you like to the opposition

It appears as though the Liverpool team may also be under the impression that this is a 20:00 kick-off

17:45 kick-off for today's game purely for the purposes of keeping people on their toes I assume
