If you are suggesting that Mo's form is not an issue for this team, then I am not sure what to say.

He is so important to the team that he not playing well matter a lot imo.

Agree, Mo is not THE reason for all the issues, but he is one of many reasons. He, Ali and VVD are senior most players, so if one of them drop off so badly, it's going to show in the results.

Its not been his season, and worst, others are not too far behind as well.

We will win one and draw one from the first 2 matches, should win at home to Spurs, dont see anything from Brighton away. That is 7 points, will take it tbh, it's not like we are in great form

All other teams have definitely tougher games than us, so hoping to be close to 4th by end of this run.

Saka is the new Grealish

What a poor dive by Gabriel ... game is gone, and players like him know this very well

#PL

Yes we have, few times, but in general, that first half was not something we hv not witnessed before this season.

Slot had the courage to drop Mo, rightly so. But when it comes to Gakpo, he sees things differently, wonder why?

In fact, it's easier to drop Gakpo, as we have players to play in that position, than to drop Mo as we don't have enough cover on his side

We are playing this badly pretty much whole season, still somehow in the contention for top 4, still there is hope

Can not see we will be improving much tbh, so I have left this top 4 thing to the universe.

Yes, but free header from 3 yards, right in the center, should be scoring.

For his height, he does look a bit weak with headers

Slot never playing him over Gakpo

Looked offside

How Hugo missed that open goal .. ridiculous really

We are playing a team in 17th position, who played mid-week away in Europ, who have scored 1 goal in last 4 home games, and we had whole week to prepare, knowing full well what is on the line.

Some of these players are not even able to make a simple pass

#LFC

Is Grav playing football for the first time?

I'm asking because he is not even able to control a simple ball

#LFC

Its a theme, seen it before many times. I am not sure exactly how lightly they take things every time they get free mid week

We need to hook all 11 tbh

Tell me one player who has done ok so far

Whey these players are terrible, they are just awful to watch

They are in the mood today, aren't they?

#LFC

I am with you .. but Arsenal doing all they can to make this a title race.

From now on, it's all about mentality. It will be really interesting to see how Arsenal plays if City takes the lead.

Universe is helping. Can we help ourselves?

He could score more if he played more advanced.

10 goals after playing in different positions is quite excellent

I think Salah and VVD salaries will free up this/next season, so guess money is there.

Looks like some of that is already planned for Konate

Equation has changed now for him, he is world-class, plays different positions, will want top money. Will the club offer that much, not that sure

If it does not happen this summer, then mostly it won't

Need to get his extension sorted before start of next season if possible, unlikely but need to try. He is not gong to WC, so he and club have time to discuss and agree.

No CL next season might be a huge factor imo

Plus, he will want 300k range, which has somehow become normal these days

Konate close to signing contract extension, is that true? Did anybody hear about it from a good source?

#LFC

Endo and Robbo on the wings, should I even try to be optimistic for today's game?

Jones holding the ball much better in the midfield was needed today, but apparently, he is getting Chiesa treatment now

#LFC

Really important team puts in a proper performance today against a very good Sunderland for the whole game. Hopefully we get the result and close the gap.

If not today, after favorable results yest, it's going to never as far as I think this season.

#LFC

First half was atrocious, I am not sure what control did you see from our team.

Second half in comparison was much better, created few chances, more aggression offensively.

Agree, he is not in the top 5 problems on hand.

Fully functional team around him, would be a different story for him.

We already did

But this season, we needed a different version of Grav, which I feel he is not able to deliver. Again, it's not really his game

He is excellent when carrying ball forward through midfield, we saw that so often last season. Defending back 4 is not his game

He could have put his foot in there, give away foul, anything. Its not his fault, doubt he thinks like typical PL number 6
