Couldn’t watch the match, but just watched the (very brief) highlights.

That’s more like it.

More please.

This #lfc team seems lacking in leaders, who will set the right tone and determination

How come?

It’s very frustrating to watch us dwell when we shouldn’t have, lacking speed of movement or thought to go forward in the first half.

And, in order to correct that we make our defence weaker by playing two players in it in the second half who are midfield specialists.

Baffling.

I feel sure we’ll see Wirtz and Ekitike soon

Maybe Chiesa too

We need to keep running once our move breaks down. We seem to have stopped a couple of times, allowing Chelsea to move forward quickly

I’ve seen a couple of #lfc players shaking their heads in a downbeat way when it’s not gone to plan today.

That’s not a positive

I’m at a loss to understand why players who were a good unit last season are now unable gel.
There’s too much space between them and almost a lack of running.

Why is that?

Peerless performance and peerless writing too

That looks delicious.

Where can I find the recipe? Or is it a closely guarded secret?

I found the audio options button (just right of the cc/subtitles button) and took advantage of it

Good news.

Have worked out how to turn off the commentary

I’ve tried to turn off the commentary.

I can’t, so I’ve turned the volume down

Having criticised #LFC for being too slow, they are now praised for their patience

The expectation of perfection from commentators, pundits (and supporters) astounds and annoys me.

It’s another example of the truly breathless approach to commentary and punditry

We need to make sure we keep these views available to as many people as possible

Instant perfection is expected. Nothing less will do.

But it’s not a sustainable approach in any context.

I’ve still not seen any of the game.

I have, tho, seen a few comments writing some players off completely

Breathless and headless over reaction helps no one

Breathe.

Pause.

Reflect.

Focus.

Go again at Galatasaray.

I agree.

We’d have basketball scores if players actually scored every time the commentators demand it

My blood pressure is now raised and I think it’s because the commentary on LFC is over the top

Everything is either truly awful or world-beating

I’m not watching, but listening.

Are we as bad as it sounds?

I think the way players’ salaries are taxed in Spain may have a bearing. I think (but am not sure) that they effectively see more of any β€˜headline’ salary.
