Some fans need to rewatch that entire game and focus on gravenberch. I'm sure andoni is urging those above for a midfielder in January.
Ryan was walking about many a times in that match when the opposition have the ball. That's inexcusable. Even in the first half, there was little hunger or real urge in winning a tackle. The lad for me has a very short future in a Liverpool shirt if he Continues on like this.

I don't like his attitude atall on the pitch and it's been for a while.
This "he has to return to when he was under slot". So we let him coast about this season? We're heading into November. There's a reason andoni benched him beforehand. I don't believe it's to do with form atall. It's how he's adapting himself on the pitch.
Nyoni came on and was a credit to himself.

I've never seen anyone ball watch like him. Great player in there somewhere.

I'm actually watching the game right now and we are up to 52nd minute.

I can tell you Ron that what you're saying about Grav has absolutely no truth to it whatsoever.

In the last 5 minutes since I read your post I've made a point of watching him and he hasn't stopped running, tracking players, making himself available for a pass.

I'm not saying he had a great game but he just didn't do what you said he did. In fact he's just taken the ball on the half turn, spun in between 2 players and was in on their back 4 only for the ref to pull him back for the most ridiculous foul you'll ever see.

I have to say, that ref was just blatantly biased. He gave them every free kick he could whilst ignoring a lot of ours. I'm all for letting the game flow but you surely have to do it for both teams?

Who was that idiot Co presenter on Sky, who gave MOM to Gakpo. At first I thought he was being sarcastic, then revised he was serious. Should never be involved in giving MOM ever again. It was obvious to all who watched that Ron was MOM.

{Ed025's Note - im with you EN..

How did Gokpo pick up Motm today! Araujo was unbelievable.

26 Oct 2026 07:43:11
Gakpo was lively but not MOTM. His decision making was poor once we went 2-0 up and I felt he was chasing his own goal rather than securing the win, countless times he opted for 'his trademark shot' rather than play in someone in a much better position.

On a positive he looks fit considering his time out injured and did put in a shift. Him and kerkez on the left are a very poor combo together and much rather Barcola over there.

{Ed025's Note - yeah if Barcola had played it would have been better.. :)

25 Oct 2026 19:28:46
There was a moment in the 1st half when JJ blocked a shot it rolled away and I thought Araujo was on the floor and threw his head to clear it whilst a Brighton player was about o shoot.

Did that happen? Or did I just imagine it?

25 Oct 2026 19:42:35
It happened mate, can't believe the passion for the shirt 🔥🔥🔥 incredible Block.

25 Oct 2026 20:00:57
Thanks for confirming!

The commentator said that was a fantastic block by Jacquet. I shouted at the tv. he just threw his head at someone's feet ya blind F@##&**er! that's a block.

I hope ED puts it in his review and comments because its been years since I seen that level of crazy defending. like John Terry in the league cup final when he got knocked out by throwing his head at a Tottenham players foot to stop them shooting.

Have we found our new Origi? Is it too soon to say?

25 Oct 2026 22:21:02
I've got a wife and two kids, but I'd walk away from it all tonight for Big Ron.

25 Oct 2026 16:17:28
I could only listen to it today. It sounded like we played really well in attack in the first half. Defended the lead in the second.
Araujo sounds like he had a great game.
We are definitely turning a corner from last season's dross.
Time to enjoy the ride again.

25 Oct 2026 15:58:32
Huge win that against a very good team, Brighton played really well but we were defensively solid!

Araujo is a beast, exactly what we've been missing. He puts himself about, similar to Jaquet we've been too nice for too long.

He needs to be signed permanently on showing so far.

Wirtz looking good as well without Sob on the pitch (not blaming sob) it's probably an indication that they can't play in the same team.

25 Oct 2026 16:19:35
Wasn't Slob still injured?

25 Oct 2026 16:56:01
Yes he was.

25 Oct 2026 17:11:34
Just as well Arajao and Jacquer were beasts, as the midfield certainly weren't. Brighton dominated as they won virtually every midfield duel. I've never seen us so bad when attacking the Kop for years.

25 Oct 2026 17:28:35
go and ask any man United supporter if they would have Andoni Iraola, whose B team strolled to a win today.

Just "Thank God" he's the LFC manager/coach/trainer.

YNWA Andoni.

25 Oct 2026 18:34:14
Agreed, think how good we'll be if we get 2 serious midfielders in. AI must be telling the powers that be what he needs.

{Ed666's Note - I honestly think we could make do with Camara in January and we’ll be much more improved and keep our powder dry for the other midfield reinforcements in the summer.

25 Oct 2026 19:18:55
Him and Mac would be decent, I like Mac anyway.

Is he still looking likely to join?

25 Oct 2026 15:57:44
Good result that against a inform team. But Man of the match for Gakpo? What's the assistant commentator smoking? MOTM should of been Aurajo as he was solid. I do think we need a new keeper though as Alison was awful.

25 Oct 2026 16:05:56
Gakpo was excellent to be fair, just lacked a goal involvement to cap it off. Never stopped running off the ball, was an exemplary presser throughout, and the ghost of Luis Diaz descended upon him a few times when he carried the ball up the field and rode challenges to get us into the opposition half from deep.

Used his body very well on multiple occasions, always looked dangerous on the ball, and that was the fastest I've seen him sprint for some time now.

{Ed666's Note - excellent? He wasn’t even good..

25 Oct 2026 16:18:58
I would not say Gakpo had a good game at all, not that he was the worst player. Yes, he was very active, but that's about it. He repeatedly held on to the ball for too long, allowing opposition players to descend on him before releasing it. He consistently failed to pass to teammates who were in better positions as well.

And near the end of the match he made a stupid foul outside the box which was reckless. Even the commentator was slagging off his final ball and lack of passing ability, before turning round and giving him MOTM. It's really quite bizaare. Aurajo deserved the MOTM as he was everywhere.

{Ed666's Note - To be fair to Gakpo I don’t think it was a foul at the end I think he was unlucky. But for me and I concur with you mate Gakpo was super wasteful and didn’t have a good game .

25 Oct 2026 16:22:59
Thought the ref was the best player on the pitch. for Brighton.

25 Oct 2026 16:43:37
Alisson's distribution was very poor, we were brilliant fir the first 20 or so minutes. Even my Mrs said "they'll take their foot off the gas as usual" and I think she was right. I'd have taken Gakpo off for Rio, he was very wasteful.
But a good win nevertheless and I hope Flo's injury is nothing big.

25 Oct 2026 17:38:39
Gakpo totally wasteful, poor passing can't beat a man doesn't bring in other players. Poor.

25 Oct 2026 17:42:34
Gakpo was our best attacker.

26 Oct 2026 00:50:29
Are we back there again? I really don't understand why, after a really good win we feel we have to single out players for unwarranted criticism.

Can we not just enjoy a win?

25 Oct 2026 14:41:37
38 miniutes gone and kirkez has been terrible, he could not mark a coupon.

25 Oct 2026 15:04:40
We're 2-0 up against a strong Brighton.

25 Oct 2026 16:27:05
Kerkez gets no help from Gakpo whatsoever so when a lot of the time he it's defending 2vs1.

{Ed666's Note - I’m so glad we have Bacola on the left because another season of Cody and Kerkez on the left hand side is gonna be the death of me

25 Oct 2026 16:28:42
We're 2-0 up against a team who hadn't conceded a prem goal in almost 9 hours and have scored goals for fun. Yet this is what you'd like to post about.

25 Oct 2026 13:04:21
Liverpool: Alisson, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Kerkez, Wirtz, Isak, Mac Allister, Gakpo, Barcola, Araujo, Gravenberch.

Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Chiesa, Tsimikas, Nyoni, McConnell, Koumas, Ngumoha.

25 Oct 2026 13:17:06
Our bench is still on the weaker side.

25 Oct 2026 13:24:55
In fairness our squad today is missing Szobo, Bradley, Munoz, Leoni and Ekitike JLC.

25 Oct 2026 13:30:27
FMJ - YOU ARE RIGHT, BUT JLC WAS TALKING ABOUT TODAY'S BENCH, WHICH IS ON THE WEAKER SIDE. SORRY ABOUT THE CAPITALS.

25 Oct 2026 13:37:18
Well aware of that KBL, but it's a bit of a moot point with the context of our current issues. Any squad would look the same when missing 5 players from their first team squad.

25 Oct 2026 16:24:49
Love it KBL😂.
