That wouldn’t have been on Kelleher directly but you wonder if they’re also missing Alisson’s organization at the back.
Well offside but a bit concerning how easily they’re getting sliced open by the likes of Fulham.
Ill subscribe to the missing-Alison -as-QB theory
I struggle to let him off the hook. He’s going to have a double-digit gap between xG and goals at this rate and not in the right direction.
He tries very hard and is good at everything he does except putting the ball in the net
I think he’s a winger for a reason and playing him centrally highlights his shortcomings. But that’s too deep for this game. That and I’m trying to will him to be great somehow.
Not sure Liverpool deserve all 3 there but I will certainly take it.
Also a good game for USMNT as Ream and Jedi mostly kept Mo in check

If this game was Olympic diving, Liverpool would have won by 5. The degree of difficulty in their goals were off the chart today.
I'm with you on the footie stuff, but the pigtails are sexy as hell. Maybe in time you may come round to this truth.
Another comical VAR event today. Levi Colwill leaps in the box with his arm in a classic “unnatural position” angle, but the ball clearly smacks him in the head, not anywhere on the arm. Result is the ball out back for a corner, which appears correct. But then VAR jumps in, recommends an onfield review, which continues to show the ball hit the head and not the arm. For some reason, the ref appears to point to the spot, and the “Decision: Penalty” text appears on the TV broadcast, but then ultimately the result is no penalty and, instead of a Brighton corner, it’s a drop ball restart, which seemingly no one can explain. Just a bizarre sequence all around.
I’m seeing reports now to this effect, in which case it would make a whole lot more sense; it seemed the announcers must have missed the initial penalty call (or I missed them mention it, but they seemed just as confused).
Edit: in which case Brighton should still feel slighted at not getting a corner in a key moment, but with their ire directed at the ref, for blowing it dead early on the erroneous penalty, rather than at the VAR.
Not sure about this Spurs kit - the colour doesn’t exactly screen aggression or dominance - far too polite.
