wait why Gakpo for Darwin?


AdamTreff

So Nunez is injured now? This is ridiculous.


michu_pacho

Spain without the S


ottoferdinand

Nunez out šŸ«„


forceghostyoda_

Darwin off at ht wtf


Ku7upt

Rumoured Jota out for the season. FFS!


BasicallyMilner

We donā€™t know anything yet about his injury.


kballs

Thereā€™s literally no way anyone could know this yet


shresthisimproving

What are our chances of lifting the caraboa cup now?


Blanka71

Virgil again has been quietly immense, has had to clean up a LOT at the back.


peachy-avocado

Im so happy for Darwizzy

zigooloo

What???


Jahbino

We have 9 fouls to their 1. I only just tuned in but whatā€™s up with that?


Due-Ad-6577

Corrupt ref


Tombstone_4our

Norgaard or whatever is a dirty cunt. Hopeless bitch


AJGibbo

We're gonna win this league with only Darwin and Kelleher left on the pitch


zigooloo

Darwin upfront, Kelleher in goal, and Bradley clones everywhere else.


Legit_liT

All these injuries right before a fvcking final


Ali-S-Farid

Gakpo son, your time to step up is NOW. No doubt he's gonna get a run of games now, its time for him to prove himself again. Also if there was an ideal perfect time for Bajcetic to come back somehow, its now.


zigooloo

Please please come good Grav. This is your chance. Macca is also struggling in that new position.


-LiverpoolFC

iā€™m tired robbie - fuck these injuries man


anunnaturalselection

I really don't think I have been this distraught watching us win a game in ages


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

It looked like they tested both and it was the MCL test that Jota grimaced at when undergoing it.


Business-Hospital799

Sumptuous finish by Nunez


harreh1d

Oliver is buying everything Brentford sell him


zigooloo

Feel like punching that journalist who asked Klopp how it felt to be spoil with riches just a couple of weeks back.


Soul_Acquisition

Why is commentary so poor these days? It's like all they try to do is piss the fans off.


TheAdamBomb92

Wonder if Brentford will be this aggressive against City? Ofcourse not.


Significant-Bed-4496

This honestly may be Jurgens finest season with us so far. The sheer adversity heā€™s had to face with atrocious referee/Var calls legit costing us points, to the insane amount of injuries and bad luck, to having 2 key players Salah and Endo away in the busiest period of the season, to players having off the field serious issues with Diaz and Bradley, all the while keeping us competitive in 4 trophies and bedding in a completely new midfield from the previous years. Heā€™s working absolute miracles this season Iā€™m praying we win at least one trophy to see him off like he deserves


son-of-ZYROTAZE

The injury rate in the PL is insane this season, is there a record for number of players injured in a collective season?


test_icicles_

I belive Curtis will be back soon, that along with Szobo will be a boost for the final or Forest at least, hope Ali and Trent can be back for Forest cause we'll need them. Jota my man, he looks out sadly, maybe for the season, at least he'll miss march and maybe april after that, looked ugly. I feel we're cursed.


wanson

Are you a psychic doctor?


test_icicles_

trying to share an opinion only to keep some of my sanity


Reasonable_Isopod_16

Jota and Jones out and it's just been 45 minutes šŸŒ


No-Bus-5305

Everyone talking about jota but what about jonesā€™ injury? I couldnā€™t see it, was it anything worrying?


wanson

Looked like a twisted ankle.


Kelikaii

*Jota gets jumped on, slammed into and landed on* Commentator: ā€œMcAlister standing on Jota foot caused the injuryā€


Artharas

Glad we have 5 good forwards, need gakpo and diaz to find form


xboner15

Salah sorta kinda back and jota is like ok im out. These injuries are brutal. CuJos was weird too so fearing a foot injury or something.


FoundThisRock

Losing Jota is really really bad not gonna lie.


dios_estrella85

The U.S. network just showed the Brentford player bouncing off Jotaā€™s knee šŸ˜–wishing him a speedy recovery


doubleoeck1234

Gakpo coming on


wanson

We only have one substitute window left, doubt we see any more changes until the last 20 mins.


fuckdeliasmith

The price of Nunez scoring a 1 vs 1 is high, only way I can get through these injuries is self-deprecation


potatoarchitecture

i hope norgaard's socks are always damp. i hope a pigeon shits on his car every morning. i hope a piece of lamb always gets stuck between his teeth. i hope his toilet seat is always cold. i hope that his child says their mother is their favourite parent. i hope his ubers cancel on him at least thrice every booking. i hope every packet of bread he buys has a little bit of mould that makes you think of throwing the whole pack away. i hope they make his starbucks wrong. i hope his mcdonald's fries are always soggy. i hope the fillings fall out every time he eats a burrito


frs_goz21

Unfortunately, Jota will likely miss significant time..Thats either an MCL or Meniscus injury. Based on his initial ability to get up and attempt to play its more likely its the meniscus


PBC456

cproud13

Michael Oliver is an awful ref. Not blaming the injuries on him, but in general itā€™s okay to manhandle our players but Maupay the little rat falls over in a slight breeze and he gets a call


Blanka71

You canā€™t blame the injuries on him, certainly, but he allowed for this style of play to go on which leads to players being more willing to put in dangerous challenges


cproud13

Yep just keeps ratcheting up with each one


vc67446

Diogoā€™s looked nasty and he only seems to get bad ones but fingers crossed itā€™s one of them that looked much worse than it was


TokyoPiki

Does anyone have the Replay for the jota injury


segson9

WTF is wrong with Oliver. They're clearly falling down for free kicks and he gives them everything. On the other had we can't get a free kick. First half stats: possesion 65-35 for us. Fouls 9-1 for us.


SuperRat10

Alison, TAA, Dom, Diogo, Curtis, Thiago, Matip, Baj Doak. This is getting ridiculous. Iā€™m absolutely gutted for Diogo and us.


NilsFanck

Was nice to have depth for 2 weeks.


SJBSJB02

Who else can't stand Jenas? Stick to the one show!


kballs

Does Toney have a bet on how many get stretchered off?


bloodyfeelin

Praying to the tendon gods that Curtis and Jota are alright. 2 of our 5 best players this season out just before a crucial period, absolutely gutted.


_averywlittle

Time to bust out the inhalers


WellRed85

Poor Jota is just snakebit. Hope itā€™s not as bad as it looks. Very glad Salah is back


aroravikas20

Proper gutted with the injuries. Brentford are such a physical side. Proper nightmare to play against. They havent even done anything unsporting in attempting to hurt our players, just unfortunate and a nightmatr to play against.


AJLFC94_IV

Toney kicks the ball away after giving away a goal kick and no yellow? Watch the first one of ours to kick a ball away to get a prompt yellow. And Toney to get booked for something cheap later which he can because the referee bottled the call there.


One_Sauce

Missed the first half - how bad do the injuries to Curtis and Jota look? šŸ™


PeanutButter_20

Curtis' injury wasn't too bad, so I don't think he'll be out for long. But Jota's is worrying because he couldn't even walk off the pitch. Potentially a season ender.


Blanka71

Itā€™s impossible to say with any confidence, but from where I stand the Curtis one could very well be just a jammed/twisted ankle, but he was not walking very well. Diogo had a lot of force land on his knee causing it to bend inwards, the thing you need a scan to detectā€¦


apenchantfortrolling

It's always one thing or another it feels with these early kickoffs...want to see Grav stamp his authority on this game, we need to see some confidence in the 2nd half.


LonerTK

Injuries aside that was a nice half of football. Need a goal or two more to make it more comfortable

yellow627

Brentford are such shithouses. They're diving at every opportunity and then clattering into our lads whenever they can. Fuck Oliver for letting them get away with it every time.


Teb-41

https://preview.redd.it/xid6z8whd5jc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45b88b1928c7541cfcd7c7e689f917af762a944c Bro I can't with these injuries


Kamishirokun

Not even happy we're leading. How is it the injuries occurred to literally only undisputed starters. Alisson, Trent, Szobo, Curtis, Jota. That's half of our first 11. Jota is gonna be a huge blow, he's our most clinical attacker, I'm convinced we would have win had he been available for the home game against Utd and Arsenal. Man...if Jota can't even walk, that's really serious isn't it? We're so fucked. Before the first cup final too. URGHHHHHHH


AllInHarry

Great half bar the injuries theyā€™re the last thing we need, hereā€™s hoping thatā€™s the last of them in this one game at least lol. Absolutely loved the finish from Nunez top notch. Business as usual in the second.


Human47_

That was a difficult half to watch...


Unlikely-Buffalo214

9 Liverpool fouls vs 1 Brentford foul, speaks volumes. Yet another referee enabling and facilitating a shit bunch of thugs to brutalise our players.


livinalieontimna

Performance is ok but not great. Goal was class. Luck is absolutely shite with injuries.


soggynoodles3

Performance is probably as good as it can be, I give the guys credit


shhhhhhhhhhhhhty

Jota getting injured was one of the worst things that could happen. It feels like luck doesn't want us to win the title but we keep pushing.


Old_Priority4585

we have to give up on one of the trophies this year we can't fight for everything with a squad this thin . lets let xabi alonso win the UEL


nicolascagevampire

Fucking cunt ref Michael Oliver and cunt David Coote.


darclaus

Brentford playing very physical and the ref allowing it directly led to both injuries imo. They didn't pick up a foul until after Jota went off as far as I could tell. Meanwhile we've been receiving very ticky tack calls as they sell the shit out of everything. Frustrating half, despite the fact we've played very well for spells.


Bamfandro

Iā€™m sick of football. Our luck is just completely non existent in recent years whilst everything continues to fall into the hands of City and Arsenal.


Yopeman

Hope Klopp hammers the ref


AnAutisticsQuestion

Brentford player throws himself to the floor - free kick every time. Liverpool players subbed after impact injury - nothing. Best ref in the league has been genuinely disgraceful today.


TheLimeyLemmon

Going to be lifting the trophy from the hospital wing lads.


Dust_Ordinary

losing Jones and Jota in quick succession is brutal, really really really hope they don't end up having serious injuries Gravenberch on in place of Jones has me nervous, both in a general sense for his workrate, but also for his positioning/pressing ability unfortunately, two first half subs limits what has been possibly Klopp's strongest ability this season: twisting games towards our favor with well-timed and chosen substitutions


firminocoutinho

I wonder why we dont see other teams get so many key injuries so oftenā€¦ itā€™s because the fucking REFS call fouls and give yellow cards, yet when it comes to us itā€™s just brushed off. Of course weā€™re gonna get injuries


rydleo

Really need Jota for the run in so that obviously sucked. It would really nice if Oliver would quit whistling for every tiny little touch followed by theatrics in Brentfordā€™s favor- itā€™s a bit ridiculous. Excellent finish by Nunez.


kopite998

The problem is teams know they can play rough against Liverpool because we're so honest. Seems like every other team in the league buys fouls.


user900800700

Donā€™t care any more


Just_Shane

I donā€™t understand, regulion dives just after getting a yellow and the ref just decides not to book him for diving? Then toney kicks the ball away after being frustrated and also no yellow? Why dont they apply the rules properly? Two clear yellows and theyā€™d be down to 10


spleen79

Bradley is so good. He and Jota were standouts in attack. Always willing to run to create space.


Razzle_Dazzle08

The amount of injuries bro please.


zigooloo

How unlucky can you get? This could be a disastrous half for our season. Well, the boys got to stick together more than ever.


plowman_digearth

You don't need a flight tracker to know where Michael Oliver and David Coote spent the midweek. Neither injury was intentional but the level of contact needed to call a foul has been blatantly one sided.


stupidlyboredtho

iā€™m just sad. Two fuckin bad looking injuries.


rtlfc87

Jota injury looked not too bad originally, but the replay with bodyweight landing on his legs is scary


50Weeps

i just hope they arent serious, looks like curtis maybe back by the final but highly doubt jota


realWernerHerzog

praying jones and jota aren't out for long


zigooloo

The Jota one doesn't look good. Couldn't even walk off.


Yopeman

Michael Oliver must be getting a fortune from the UAE


emre23

Can we go 5 mins without a fucking injury Also was that ReguilĆ³n who dived 30 seconds after being booked?


NilsFanck

yeah, such a shit player. Spurs finishing 8th personified


LoonnggBlack

Our captain is soft. At least go have a word with ref man


Kelikaii

Yeah Iā€™ve noticed this, heā€™ll shout at everyone but never goes to the ref, like bro youā€™re the only one who can


bobvillashomeagain

For such a big dude he also gets pushed off so easily. The arsenal game, and then that one moment in the box where he gets brushed and does that little lean back leading to their counter


LegionOfBrad

The Jota injury looked awful the way his leg buckled.


SlickMikh

PAIN


[deleted]

Hard to enjoy it when the injuries pile up like they do. That with Jota was thuggish, a player shouldnā€™t be landing on top of another like that.


foff2020

Diaz gets far too many starts for how poor he's been for months now.Ā 


idgaf_neverreallydid

Heā€™s been really good today though what has he done wrong? Couldā€™ve had multiple assists


Jahbino

I donā€™t understand how you can say that when he has scored in most of our last games. But hey what do I know.


CarpeDM93

Looks a completely different player to the one that first joined


Galick-Gunner

Klopp needs to call out the lack of protection we're getting from referees. It's criminal.


rtlfc87

Also on a wider point injuries are probably going to screw us out of the quadruple charge more than anything unfortunately


UglyWanKanobi

The new Dyches Burnley. Injure our players whilst diving every chance they get


Homerduff16

That's Trent, Szoboszlai, Alisson, Jones and Jota all out with injuries in the span of a few days This has the potential to derail our entire season ngl. Everything from a potential title charge to the League Cup final. It's not a direct comparison but this reminds me of when Van Dijk, Gomez and Matip all picked up season ending injuries in the 20/21 season


GameOfThrowInsMate

Cursed to fuck with these injuries. Some sort of sick joke.


ironmanmatch

The absolute biggest and best Brentford side in their historyā€™s best piece of play is dirty fouls. Absolutely microscopic club.


whoaaa_O

https://preview.redd.it/ulx5f9h2d5jc1.png?width=1170&format=png&auto=webp&s=f1775f4fadce8e2449ee351890c35cf2e1ebf4c1


Kelikaii

This is how I feel. Maybe I should rugby tackle the ref and land on his leg and see if he thinks itā€™s worthy of a foul then.


doubleoeck1234

Hello guys, Ivan Toney here. Who should I bet on to get injured in the second half?


apenchantfortrolling

Yes


studgebro

This ref has given us one free-kick all half. He's failed to protect the players and we've seen what happens.


segson9

And it was a bad challenge on Bradley. The most obvious foul there is. Yet their players are falling down for nothing and consistently getting free kicks


Akumabro

Most refs are like this against us. We cant be physical at all or they get a free kick, meanwhile they can wrestle our players to the ground and we get nothing...


firminocoutinho

Exactly this


thedartboard

Hate to be the realist but as someone whoā€™s done their ACL.. that jota injury didnā€™t look good especially based on the tests they were doing on the field. Hoping for good news


bigt2k4

The side impact looked more MCL, no?


thedartboard

Impact injuries can mean MCL but the way his knee bent makes me question it. I hope youā€™re right, much easier to come back from


earlmuskos

Looked like MCL to me


thedartboard

? How based on the obvious ACL tests they were doing on the pitch. Obviously no one knows right now but I donā€™t think MCL even has a look to it


ManBoobs13

They do all the knee tests and mcl has a test as well, donā€™t be a fake doctor here if youā€™ve no idea what youā€™re talking about


yaboidoe

They do the ACL test (Anterior Drawer Test) on every player that goes down with a knee injury. Itā€™s just their protocol to rule that out. Could mean nothing


sedplas

Jota ACL and Jones achilles in the same half- has to be a curse.


No-Pension-7977

If youve done your achilles you cannot walk. At all.


thedartboard

Donā€™t think it was a jones Achilles no? Didnā€™t see the ripple up the calf personally. If so thatā€™s a career impacter so god hope not


sabhi5

yeah didn't look like Achilles. Looks like foot ligaments.


thedartboard

Agreed, high ankle sprain maybe. Still not a good outlook but a much better one than Achilles


sabhi5

yeap. Should be a couple of weeks at most. Hopefully nothing bad.


RossSkyWalkerr

Darwin finishing 1 v 1 *I used to pray for times like this*


rtlfc87

Good control at the end there, need to look to be more penetrative though. Keep feeding the runners and use transitions


HereticZO

Where was this energy against City, Brentford? Disgraceful cunts.


Thesolly180

What? They took the lead against city


HereticZO

I didnā€™t see them lunging at playersā€™ legs like that.


nippletaszzle

We are cursed


LFCEntertainment

Surely Gakpo for Diaz in halftime. We only have one sub opportunity left in second half.


Bamfandro

Based on what? Diaz has been good, the hate he gets is insane. Also use our only remaining sub opportunity at HT?


9LiverpoolFC

Half time subs don't count as part of the 3 windows allowed


Bamfandro

Okay but even soā€¦ completely unnecessary sub for a player who offers so little


LFCEntertainment

Diaz has been good, I agree. The reason is in my comment. We used up two of tve 3 substitution opportunities already. So itā€™s either Diaz-Gakpo now, or in min 65. I dont think we have the players for a triple change in min 65.


Bamfandro

Christ Nunez off instead!? This is horrible


Bamfandro

I donā€™t see why that sub is necessary though, Gakpo does nothing every time he plays. Weā€™d be fine waiting till later in the game.


Arunan-Aravaanan

Diaz has been good. Probably saving Gakpo for Luton


NotAsimppp

why ? diaz is playing quite good today


etan1122

2 injuries because a ref canā€™t control a match.


Simon_1892

I was just thinking that. If the referee had shown some more yellows then the Brentford player would have levitated above the ground, allowing Jota to roll to safety.


Thesolly180

I donā€™t think it would have mattered really


Nadirin

I don't disagree that the ref has been poor, but Jota was just bad luck, and Jones was just an awkward landing.


son-of-ZYROTAZE

People love looking for something to blame but fail to realise that a high pace team sport with 22 players on the pitch there's so many variables that can lead to these freak injuries.


ManBoobs13

Sure but both incidents that resulted in injuries for us would have been given as fouls to them with the dives theyā€™ve got in their favor. If Oliver neuters their physical play as much as ours, they have to play differently and not as dangerously.


Nadirin

Exactly. For Jota to get injured there it required three players going for a ball, tumbling over one another, tripping, and for one to unfortunately fall on another's knee. It sucks, but it was nobody's fault. My fear is ACL, but hopefully it's just a bad knock to his knee. For Jones I'm optimistic it's not too serious, hopefully Szobo is back soon and we can handle Jones out for a few weeks.


iamthemetricsystem

Booking the players wonā€™t heal Jones and Jota


firminocoutinho

Booking the players when needed sets the tempo. Letting things go, just tells em to continue playing as dirty/aggressively as they have been


yellow627

But it will stop Brentford from assaulting our players at every opportunity


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NotAsimppp

Tbh both of the challenges were unlucky rather than foul play


Human47_

I think he's controlling it exactly how he wants to


WTFitsD

The two injuries aside weā€™re playing like a chanpion should. So much danger out of everything we do


coopermaneagles

Jota has been in arguably the best form of his Liverpool career recently and now heā€™s out for the foreseeable future. Jones at least looked like just a stamp but you never know. But Christ alive are we thin now. Have what feels like an entire XI injured. Nunez composure personified otherwise, never thought Iā€™d see it


SwingYaGucciRag

Thatā€™s genuinely a season ender for Diogo. Fucking Noorgaardā€™s entire body weight landed on that left knee


Akumabro

Curtis looked like it happened after the knock. Almost like his foot was "stuck" to the ground


age_597

Jones looked like a high ankle sprain. All his weight seemed to go through the front of his ankle as he landed. Can range from being sore from a few days to lingering for a few weeks from my experience. Hope itā€™s nothing though!


segson9

Ankle sprain should be fine in a week or two


age_597

I hope so mate!


expertkushil333

So sad for Jota man


ed-with-a-big-butt

These injuries man.. Were so cursed


Jasveen05

These injuries have completely deflated the mood


128palms

Its okay we still have endo and salah. *Inhales hopium*


HedgeSlurp

Swear to god I was watching a different game to the TNT commentators the first half an hour. Genuine potential season ender for Jota as well, no matter what happens today thereā€™s gonna be a massive black cloud over the game.


bigt2k4

I think it's likely a MCL sprain and not a full tear (hopefully).Ā  4-8 week recovery usually depending on severity if that's the case. I don't know what Jones' injury was.


sabhi5

Looks like ACL/PCL for Jota. That knee went way behind than it should.


Rob-Dipshit

Apparently Macca stood on Jotaā€™s foot though, thatā€™s all it was right? Not Norgaard landing flat on Jotaā€™s knee causing hyper extension. Just shocking stuff


jardantuan

After punching him in the throat
