Totally opposite view to most people (what's new ?) but for me that was a massive performance and 3 points that will go a long way to the development of this squad.

You can't buy experiences like that and they are golden for the squad.

They'll know the performance wasn't the best, but they come with the 3 points and hopefully take the character building out of it as they move forward.

23 Feb 2026 09:17:56
Insane take. What did they learn from that exactly? They were dominated.

23 Feb 2026 08:40:02
Jesus Christ mate. Do you work as a motivational speaker? You sounds like you could find the positives in a mass shooting.

23 Feb 2026 10:16:11
There are no positives you can take from that performance. We were dominated by a poor team. It wasn't even the case that we were playing poorly, but were fighting hard to stay in the game. We were just lucky that they are a really poor team, and, despite dominating the game, they didn't have the ability to create anything, never looked like scoring (aside from that 1 early chance), and ended up taking pot shots from 30 yards out.

You can argue that it was a massive result due to us getting 3 points when we clearly didn't deserve them, but that performance was 100% unacceptable.

23 Feb 2026 11:23:25
3 points is the only positive you can take from it and it's a huge positive. Football is a funny old game. We battered Forest at Anfield for the first half an hour and ended up losing 0-3. This time they battered us for the first half an hour, and we won 0-1.

We won the game, and that's enough. It was a tough watch, but we got it over the line, and that's what counts. You can't play well all of the time, and Forest seem to have held a hoodoo over us for the last couple of years, so we take the win and move on.

23 Feb 2026 19:19:27
Shipley, Forest are not a poor team; they have poor forwards. They were the best side over 97 minutes. There is no good glossing over the massive cracks in our team. We have to hold our hands up and say we, as Champions, are below the standards we set and expect. YNWA.

Textbook toxic positivity.

24 Feb 2026 12:00:15
Jesus, the delusion from some of the fanbase is mind boggling.

24 Feb 2026 13:47:39
Lord- nukem you have to have a mind to boggle
and i can see how delusional your are with a handle like lord -nukem

23 Feb 2026 05:39:46
What happened with Wirtz yesterday? Missed the buildup and can't find anything online - is he out for a while?

23 Feb 2026 08:40:31
Felt his back in the warm up. Sounded precautionary.

23 Feb 2026 10:17:36
Didn't sound serious and he should hopefully be back next weekend.

22 Feb 2026 19:25:22
A dogged performance is possibly the only compliment I could give the performance today. 3 points were the only silver lining to take away. Inept displays by Jones, salah and gapko yet again. These three stooges must be dropped immediately and never be starters for rest of the season. We had a seven day break and pushing for cl, yet completely out thought and out fought by a relegation standard team.

Fitness and tactics were absent today. It was forests inability to score rather than our ability to be resolute and solid that gave us points today. The sooner slot, gvb and those 3 stooges are gone the better.

22 Feb 2026 19:56:24
Dog would be one half of my description for today.

22 Feb 2026 17:18:15
As poor as that was, I always had a feeling we'd snatch it

Its effing rough when your not even sure if u want your team to win anymore.

I know how tjat sounds and feel free to unload on me but u know what I mean.

22 Feb 2026 17:35:56
No. Don't have a clue. Have never wanted Liverpool to lose in my life, not even under Hodgson.

22 Feb 2026 18:22:51
1st half was as bad a performance from an lfc team that I can remember and I've watched some poor stuff this season. Couldn't string 3 passes together, no energy, didn't win a tackle and quite frankly didn't look all that interested.only postive i can come up with was our 2 cbs defended the box quite well to not concede.my stream went off about 55mins and only returned in injury time so can't say anything on 2nd half.


Massive 3pts in context of champ league race, delighted with that

22 Feb 2026 16:52:47
Why do we still start gackpo and jones?
Like just why?

22 Feb 2026 19:20:13
Have you seen our bench?

22 Feb 2026 19:40:30
Add Salah to that as well. Not sure why he was laughing when he came off. Lucky not to be hauled off sooner. He had 50 touches and I think he miscontrolled 49 of them. Gakpo 30. That's about 8 grand per touch if their weekly salaries posted on here are accurate. Neck and neck.

23 Feb 2026 08:25:22
Wonder if training part time correlates to playing like part-timers. Seems to be the Slot way.

22 Feb 2026 16:34:31
11 games to go.

We are awful. Points all that matters at this stage

God help us if we get a week off between games if this is anything to go by. as we looked more tired, slow and off it than we were playing twice a week. And that is saying something.

True day, Mighty. I wanted Slot gone earlier in the season, so we would have something decent to watch, but now I'd take a 1-0 penalty win every game just to get to the summer with some appeal left in the club for his successor to bring in some proper talent. Whether it's the system, or his legs have properly gone, Salah isn't deserving of a starting place right now.

22 Feb 2026 16:31:14
Didn't deserve a thing from that game! Words won't describe how bad we are!
I couldn't care less of slop won the CL and what ever else this season I want him gone and his dire football! They were all bad today but Gakpo and salah have no right being anywhere near that team!
Take the 3 we robbed and move on.

22 Feb 2026 17:37:23
If Arne wins the CL, we all know he'd have a new 5 year contract in front of him to sign the next day.

22 Feb 2026 19:21:02
And rightly so, FM.

22 Feb 2026 19:36:34
Salah and Gakpo in the team, we are playing with 9 players every game at the moment. YNWA

22 Feb 2026 19:57:33
I seem to recall reading on here a few weeks back that Bayern were keen on Gakpo for 65m. I wonder what currency that was. And Salah needs to check himself; he seemed in disbelief when being subbed off.

22 Feb 2026 20:16:08
If we fluke a Champions League, it changes nothing. Arne has to go.

23 Feb 2026 07:05:23
I am not sure Arne Slot could win every match from here until the end of the season and convince me he's the man. It could be said he doesn't have the players he needs to play his system, but he's the one who insists on playing a certain way, and insists on starting Salah, or, earlier in the season, Konate, or putting our best midfielder at right back, or taking too long to bring subs on to change a game, or destroying our youth team's confidence by throwing cup games at home and publicly admonishing individuals.

I'm not having that he isn't capable either, because he managed entirely differently in the first half of last season. Early subs, changing games, hailing people off for not playing well, being honest without being disrespectful. I don't know what happened to the manager we hired, but this version of Slot certainly isn't that same chap. Looks like a man who doesn't care anymore, probably because he knows he's gone, just like Carra says.

22 Feb 2026 16:29:49
The most painful first 45mins I have ever seen from a us. Not much better 2nd half.

Hand ball? If that's someone taking it on the chest and that part of upper arm too. I don't this its hand ball. But Paul Tierney on VAR

Rio done more in 10 mins the Gapko and Salad all game, if a team is lining up 4-2-3-1 against us Rio should start.

3 points but an absolutely shocking performance, I have seen under 11's have better ball retention then is in the 1st half.

Konate! Immense for me, keeping us in games now, but wow its was painfully poor, how Slot didn't see Forest where lining up the same as us and the midfield battle was going to be key, when Wirtz was injured, Sobbo had to be in the midfield, what's the point of not playing Gomez? He "might" get injured, but keeping him on the bench and being out played in the 1st half . a team with better forwards would of destroyed us in the first 45min but I am resigned this season to getting points over performances hoping we hit some form. But I don't think I have in 51 years of my life seen a worse first half.

Love hugo but give the lad some heading drills, if you have a defender fit, play him at right back please, and if a team ain't parking the bus start Rio, infact just start him.

22 Feb 2026 19:49:07
Eddie 74, I totally agree with you. Hugo is really poor at heading the ball. I thought that the club would go over the video of the match the next day with the coaches, with Hugo having missed several goal chances with his head over several matches.

So why have Slott and his coaches not picked up on this and given him heading practice to make him better with his head? Someone is not doing their job and needs to address it very soon. YNWA

22 Feb 2026 16:18:38
We had a week to prepare. what have they been doing?!?! One of the worst performances I've ever witnessed. Beyond lucky to come away with a win. Does anyone know if Slot effed off to Holland this week?

23 Feb 2026 09:36:09
Actually, we had 3 days to prepare, as Slot gave the team some days off before this game, too.

22 Feb 2026 16:10:43
That was woeful. I know that they say that you need to be able to win ugly but that was horrendous. We were a little better in the second half but that first half was possibly the worst performance o have ever seen from a Liverpool side.

We had a full week to prepare and rest up and we had been given encouragement from Saturdays results. We should have come out firing but we were back to being slow and lethargic. We couldn't find teammates with simple passes and I have never seen a Premier League team collectively show a worst first touch that we did.

Slot obviously liked what he saw though as he watched it for over 75 minutes before changing anything. We created far more in those last 15 mins after Salah and Gakpo went off that we did in the 75 mins before.

I'm thrilled with the result but that performance has left it feeling like a loss.

22 Feb 2026 16:22:44
Until we have pacey wide men, not much will change.

22 Feb 2026 16:26:57
That's not true, Shipley. Slot saw we were being outplayed in midfield, so he switched Curtis to RB and put Szob in the middle after 25 minutes. Other than that, I agree with you. That was painful to watch. No movement, no urgency, no risk, no quality. I'll take the 3 points, but that was as bad as I've ever seen us play.

22 Feb 2026 16:00:28
I'll take the 3 points but my word that was bad.

22 Feb 2026 16:16:16
It was bad. Without Wirtz on the field, we looked quite average. We never looked anywhere close to scoring for close to the entirety of the game. Thankfully, Rio and Dom made a difference for us again.

22 Feb 2026 15:50:17
I think Salah is still in Nico's pocket. Could do worse than Nico as a full back right now. Also embarrassing the way Macca goes down. Can't believe it looks like we are going to win this one. We really don't deserve it.

22 Feb 2026 16:02:50
Yeah, but we won.
