So no isak and wirtz and we won the game and scored 3
But well its Tottenham, prolly team of our grannys could score 3.

Tottenham had a good game quite remarkable how open we get once our midfield gets beaten or opened.

Agree Last of Slot,

However it proved we have the Two Best Goalkeepers in the PL and probably Europe as well. It also proved a Goalkeeper's most important job must be to keep the ball out of your Net.

Guardiola proved this by replacing a GK who could play Hollywood Balls aka Ederson, and replaced him with a GK who could not kick for toffee, but just keeps the ball out of your net, Saves win you games, as well as scoring goals. Wonder why Woodman was not on the Bench last night? must have been injured? Oops we have the Three best goalkeepers in the League/Europe.

But City won the EPL and Champions league with Ederson in goal. I don't think they have won anything major with Donnarumma in goal yet.

16 Sep 2026 19:10:56
007 Woodman's just had a newborn so given time off I believe. One thing that still annoys me watching the game is passing to the right foot of a left footed GK.

Cool see crowd response to Robbo. Solid team performance and lots of good individual performances too. Some standouts for me:

Koumas - busy and tidy with the ball, always involved. Could have bagged a goal on the night

Nyoni - the kid is ready to start more regularly. His time will come. Calm with ball, takes good positions off the ball, sticks a foot in

Kerkez & Frimpong - include them together as I think it was their best performances for the club. Up and down, defensively solid, gave away fouls which I don't mind as they were in the battle. Delivery terrible though ?

Jacquet - second half cameo but he is 100% the VVD replacement

Mama - error for their goal and his long balls are no good but his saves kept us in the game. They had clear chances and he stood up.

Iraola managing the minutes well. The kids played well and may motivate Iraola to freshen up the team slightly in the league to keep the energy up in those games.

{Ed666's Note - I think Mama had his best game for us tonight some truly astonishing saves. Shame he has poor distribution and can’t play with his feet.

16 Sep 2026 02:28:14
triple6 - wasn't looking good when he miscued a pass inside 60 seconds lol his saves were key today!

{Ed666's Note - He’s not Liverpool number one material that’s for sure but to his credit he made some insane saves today. That shot that was deflected in the pouring rain was beyond world class. And of course the one from the Swedish kid was simply sensational. If Alison was making those saves we’d be lauding him from here to eternity.

16 Sep 2026 06:10:07
Great shot stopper but is dracular with corners he does not like crosses.

16 Sep 2026 08:14:02
Marma showed tonight how good of a shot stopper he is. But he also showed is weaknesses, which is dealing with crosses, sweeping and ball playing. Able deputy but never a no 1 for me.

On Trey Nyoni, I like that he is the only mf we have who wants to be behind the ball. This gives us more security and I think for his age he has good maturity in his decision making when passing. He looks to play forwards with purpose when the pass is on, if not he doesn't force it and just plays the simple pass to keep possession. I also like his willingness to always show for the ball. This helps the team to keep control and balance, whereas Grav and Szob just want to always go forwards.

AI said he was cramping, so that is the catch. He is still growing and developing and maybe not yet physically able to be relied on week in week out. We do have a player on hands though.

16 Sep 2026 19:42:10
Mama's save from the deflected Marmoush cross was world class. He's a great keeper but probably just not the kind of keeper that we want for our system.

16 Sep 2026 20:47:14
Mamas saves were great and his passing on the ground was fine last night, unlucky that the one flap at a corner led to there goal but those are the fine margins. Ali is undoubted our No 1 but Mama is not a bad back up and I think better than Kelleher was.

Has anyone any concerns about Ali's decline, he's very shaky of late with his passing, seems to be making a few mistakes with the ball not sure if teams are just pressing us more but we definitely seem shaky when he is on the ball.

15 Sep 2026 23:15:58
Great from the kids tonight, Nyoni is absolute class, his midfield discipline is brilliant and puts Gravenslai to shame! It's almost like the manager wa dredging ro prove a point tonight between players that listen to him and the stars.

Great goal from Szoboszlai but I'm convinced he's an attention seeker and demands a more prominent role in the team, whether that fits the Iraola style is another matter.

16 Sep 2026 07:22:53
Considering there were ten changes I thought we did well enough, there were excellent goals, exciting game, something to get around with the younger players, a real energy.

I was watching on TV so can't be sure but Grav didn't seem to get much support when he came on. I think he'll be the benchwarmer this season. I'd keep Trey in for a few games.

16 Sep 2026 10:47:26
Take a bow Mr. Szobozlai .what a goal!
The best player in our squad should get all the attention he needs imo.?
Very good performance last night and I've been particularly impressed with MacAllister and Gakpo these last few games. Their attitude looks excellent and their performances much improved from last season.

15 Sep 2026 22:58:17
Thought Koumas and Nyoni were excellent tonight. Koumas really led the press and did it superbly. Nyoni is just so comfortable on the ball, wasted very little and provided the most steel we have seen in the midfield all season.


I'm not adverse to Nyoni starting a few league games, probably at home to some of the teams we would expect to beat to further his development.

{Ed666's Note - apart from a brilliant presser is Koumas good enough for the first team?

15 Sep 2026 23:15:50
Ed the manager rates him, but do you think that's due to lack of options?

{Ed666's Note - I think Koumas would be on loan in other circumstances

16 Sep 2026 08:07:16
That is my concern with Koumas is does have the quality? He certainly has the attitude and workrate. Perhaps he could develop into a Kuyt like player for us but his finishing need to improve to become that level of player.

16 Sep 2026 08:19:41
He showing more promise than Rio atm, let's give him a chance. He deserves it.

16 Sep 2026 09:44:13
He is 3 and a half years older than Rio & played a lot of football in the Championship over the last 2 seasons against grown men! He is way ahead in his development, not a fair comparison imo.

16 Sep 2026 09:51:50
Absolute pish, Koumas was the only one running in behind with intelligence, he created space for others, didn't tire throughout and only had the one chance to score that was brilliantly saved by the way, how anyone can say he needs to work on his finishing is nonsense, based on what? For me him and Nyoni and Mconnell in flashes showed a few up last night and Iraola clearly wants the workrate he got from those 3 every single game,
Koumas isn't here cause we're short, Iraola said straight away he was staying in the squad.


Give the boy a chance, did we win 3-1? i'm not sure as the mood on here would have you believe we lost.

16 Sep 2026 10:19:42
ASB - Koumas is 21 this week, so he's not three and a half years older than Rio. Just saying.

16 Sep 2026 11:16:48
3 years older then, my bad ?.

16 Sep 2026 12:05:10
Age got nothing to do with it. Owen and fowler bother better than these at 17/18.

15 Sep 2026 22:33:29
Gravs seriously close to falling down the pecking order.

15 Sep 2026 22:49:54
I preferred Nyoni to Grav to be honest. And Macca has found new drive and is putting good performances again.

15 Sep 2026 23:01:21
First time Wirtz does not play 3-1 win says it all?

Andoni has some easy thinking to do, he will do what is best for the team and himself, regardless of who you are? no player will ever be bigger than Liverpool Football Club.

{Ed666's Note - I don’t think we won because Wirtz wasn’t in the pitch I think we won because spurs couldn’t convert their chances

15 Sep 2026 23:26:39
And we converted ours Ed. That's the aim of the game isn't it?

Made me laugh how the commentators were saying Spurs had the best chances in the first half but Macca's was so good he scored and Koumas was clean through too but Dubravka saved it with his arse.

Spurs had some chances, they should they are a very expensively assembled Premier League team but Marma was excellent when called upon.

Our goals were all excellent finishes and just show the value of that extra quality we have.

{Ed666's Note - it’s all opinions mate you have yours I have mine and reality is probably somewhere in the middle

16 Sep 2026 01:11:26
Bond's post is a great example of correlation vs causation.

On another note, I have missed watching us play three times this season - the Ipswich game, the Atletico one, and the one last night against Spurs. I'm not sure about anyone but I am detecting a bit of a pattern emerging now ;)

16 Sep 2026 07:45:08
Exactly Dracred, Alison didn't play, does that also mean he is no good! What about VVD, we won without him, he must not fit in the team either.

15 Sep 2026 22:23:24
Good watch that, some brilliant goals. Frimpong, kerkez, macca and koumas v good I thought. mcconnell grew into as game went on, him+koumas aggression in press big help. mamar pulled 3 super saves particularly the last 1, such a pity he was culpable for there goal from corner it would've been to nice him get confidence boost.

15 Sep 2026 22:54:43
They'll say Marma was culpable for the goal but I'm not sure he was. He was being blocked off from back pedalling to get to the ball.

I'd be more concerned with how Gallagher had a free header 2 yards out. Nobody anywhere near him.

Those goals happen to everyone occasionally though.

The bigger thing was the performance, the energy, the finishing and Marma made some truly world class saves. That last save from the deflected shot was miraculous.

What a hit from Szob, even if him and Grav did make the team worse.

15 Sep 2026 22:01:39
I hope Iraolas learning enough to see who works and who doesn't,
Koumas, Nyoni and Mconnell were Immense tonight, the press was intense and we never gave them a minute, Macca looked a different player with a 6 behind him,
Once Grav came on and Szob then all control was gone.
Very Impressed with the 3 lads tonight.

15 Sep 2026 22:48:31
That's a like from me. No coincidence the subs made us worse. If we aren't playing Trey ahead of Grav and despite the wonder-goal from Dom we need another player in midfield too. Macca and the two lads wee much much better.

15 Sep 2026 22:52:45
Agree. we looked better with Nyoni and Macca.

Macca looked gassed the last 20 but kept running. He's really changed his attitude and is starting to look like the first midfielder on our team sheet, which I'm surprised to say as I've never been much of a fan.

16 Sep 2026 08:14:07
McConnell surprised me a bit tonight, in the sense he seemed quicker and covered the ground better than I remember last time he played. He also was making intelligent runs into the box, not just pressing and showing tenacity.

I'm not sure where we'd fit him in but he did enough to merit a bit more time on the pitch. He provided something different, and it wasn't just headless chicken stuff.

The game had changed by the time Barcola came on, but I'd say Cody offers more right now. Never thought I'd say that after last seasons showing.

The other interesting one was Koumas. If we wanted to play with a false nine I think he'd be in with a shout. That'd be a big call to make though so can't see it happening unless Isak gets injured.

Trey now deserves a chance, although it may be better to give him his next start in a home game rather than Bournemouth away.

15 Sep 2026 22:01:03
Dom Bomb Kaboom ?

YNWA.

15 Sep 2026 21:58:30
Szoboslai goal, what a hit!
