Iraola has clearly prioritised making us harder to beat, and by an large has achieved that.
.We went to Bournemouth and kept a clean sheet.
.City only scored 3 when we were down to 10, we were the better side up until then.
.We kept free scoring Brighton at bay.
.We only conceded yesterday after 1 lapse.
However, the sacrifice has been going forward.
We’re not yet creating the chances.
When we find the balance, the forward players click , we will be a more complete side.
It’s to be expected at this stage, however I find myself enjoying watching again.
Time , patience and a couple of windows and we will return to the summit. 💪🏻
What could’ve & should’ve been a spectacular game today in my eyes turned into a load of bollox.
Arsenal are such a stain the game. And Lego head is fully to blame!
I fucking despise all the moaning, diving , blatant cheating!
The level of entitlement is astounding considering they are unwilling to battle and play to prove greatness, they would rather just win by all other means.
Parking the bus, dropping on every touch, slowing the game at every opportunity is so shit 💩.
That is NOT the Arsenal of old who would attack with flair and defend resolutely.
All the histrionics is just bollox.
Yeah their fans can celebrate victory today but they certainly can’t be proud or enjoy watching them play .
It’s NOT the beautiful game that’s for sure!
LOOK 👀
I’m not going in on the players.
I don’t think we played that well , however we certainly deserved something from the game.,
We’re on the back end of a tough run, and we’ve done well. The players deserve credit and there are many positive signs. It’s also still early.
My frustration lies at the ref falling for every Arsenal trick in the book.
Time wasting constantly, falling every touch, moaning whining and bitching at everything!
. 100% penalty denied. Again a failure from VAR!
. By recent comparisons Noni gets a red there!
. After they scored they literally parked the bus, played long ball and dived for fouls! Load of shit
Better days ahead
Move on! 😤

Result’s & momentum are massive in sport.
Building cohesion in a new, young squad is much more fluid when results are going your way.
As to be expected, some games like tonight have mistakes, low individual performances and generally look scruffy.
However when you have a condensed run of games like we have, all of the above is to be expected.
That said, the lads have put an impressive run of results together, we carry that into Sunday in another huge clash.
I genuinely hope we’re able to take the fight to them bums and really put them to the sword.

What a good run we’re on.
Individually & collectively improving all the time.
Patience will prevail !
Keep the feet on the ground .
We are going under the radar and nobody is talking abt us… but this won’t continue for much longer !
Win the next 2 and expectations will increase.
MASSIVE MASSIVE WEEK AHEAD.

Andoni Iraola’s competitive record as Liverpool head coach (as of 20 October 2026): 11 games, 7 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss (win rate ~63.6%; goals 24–16).
We’ve known from the off the squads not finished.
Time is needed to implement ideas.
Injured players need to return.
We’re in transition and there will be imperfections , ups & downs along the way.
HOWEVER, we’re doing ok 👌🏻
Liverpool attendance vs Villarreal: 59,610
Man City attendance vs AEK Athens: 40,042
Both at home in the Champions League. 🏟️
(Anfield capacity ~61k; Etihad ~61k)

Liverpool/Merseyside refs: 0 current PL games for LFC or Everton (historically ~24, mostly Mike Dean).
Greater Manchester refs (Taylor + Kavanagh): 100+ for Man Utd & Man City.
Rules bar local Merseyside officials from the Merseyside clubs; Manchester-area refs who don’t support the big clubs are free to do them. (Or so they say)
5 Premier League refs are barred from officiating Liverpool (and usually Everton) games due to PGMOL conflict-of-interest rules:
• Jarred Gillett (declared Liverpool fan)
• Peter Bankes (Liverpool / Liverpool FA)
• Rob Jones (Wirral)
• Darren Bond (Wigan area)
• Michael Salisbury (Lancashire)
They’ve never taken charge of competitive Liverpool matches.
Yet Kavanagh -originates from greater Manchester can officiate City games!?….
Ok I see🙄
