Well I never. A bonkers end to a really good half of football.

Quiz time: a repost.

Since joining Liverpool Mo Salah has been the club's top scorer every season. Who was the club's top scorer the season before Mo joined?

Answer at half-time

This interview from 4 years ago mentions Konate's father being ill.

"Hamadi has never been to see him play, because of illness, but watches his matches on TV and Konaté calls him every day."

My uninformed speculation: his father's health took a turn for the worse this season and the strain of worry and concern affected Ibou deeply. It would explain a lot. He is a fairy private person, so we likely won't know, but if that's right and he's carried this burden? ♥️

Such a gorgeous ball in from Mo and perfectly timed run from Mac Allister, but he scuffs what would have been the hat trick.

The inverse of the Salah to Szoboszlai free kick from the last game.

@mlawton@mstdn.social avatar mlawton , to random

That’s a foul outside the box and he’s standing right there and ignores it because Ekitike doesn’t ever dive. If PGMOL really cared to cut down on dives, they could actually do so in instances like this.

FFS they gave a foul seconds ago against when there was zero contact. In the same damned position on the field.

And then Rio doesn’t go down and another fouls is swallowed. This would have been a PK.

PGMOL deserves all the scorn they get, not for subjectivity, but for consistency.

Joe Gomez getting his traditional first half injury.

VVD made a mistake there I think.

Bournemouth get one...

Relegated to the iPad to watch the football whilst my son plays Minecraft. I don’t mind. Keeps him happy whilst I watch. 😊

Not the most thrilling first half. Liverpool with the best chances though and a great free kick puts them in the lead at the break.
I'll take 1-0 at the end of the game but wouldn't mind a bit more excitment please lads.

Increasingly weird Farage speaks out against Covid vaccines ( www.thecanary.co )

Nigel Farage’s politics are a combination of British nationalism plus whatever the Yanks believe in. As a result, Farage will often come out with stuff that sounds bizarre to English ears — such as scrapping the NHS. The latest example of this is Farage speaking out against the Covid vaccinations: ...

TL;DR Drawing against Wolves was basically the final straw for Amorim.

Not for nothing, but if not for Florian Wirtz, of all people, we draw Wolves too, and are one point above Man U. Then two draws against perennial powerhouses Leeds and Fulham. And Arsenal up next. So now, how much of a leash does Slot have?

I would like Kerkez to start actually looking for a target in the box before just blasting it in there. Beating your defender down the wing is the easy part. The hard part is making a chance out of it.

Best part about that game being over is that I no longer need to listen to that color commentator, who was Wrong About Everything All Game Long.

He’d have a bright career as a match official.
