As we all feared, now confirmed by the club, Conor Bradley has “sustained a significant knee injury” and “will undergo surgery in the coming days and then begin a period of rehabilitation at the AXA Training Centre. No timeframe is being placed on his return to playing at this stage of the process.”

Mo Salah says he’s been thrown under the bus, that his relationship with Arne Slot has broken down.

Two days later, Slot says it’s “difficult” for him to know what Salah meant or who he was talking about, that he’d “have to guess a little bit”.

Disgraceful selective editing by Sky Sports News of the answers Alisson gave in the press conference to questions about Mo Salah.

The clamour to demonise a player, without a single thought for the human being behind the words, is shameful.

Liverpool fans arguing with each other won’t help this crisis, spewing hate to individuals you want to blame won’t help.

Nobody at the club will deliberately be giving less than their best.

But the way the club has always worked is that when somebody’s best isn’t good enough it’s time to move on.

Nobody has an automatic right to wear that Liverpool shirt, but nobody has the automatic right to the title of Liverpool manager. You have to earn it, and what you did before doesn’t change that. You have to keep on earning it if you want to keep it.

No LFC manager should let it come to this.

Sad, sad news.

He did so much for LFC Women, and for the Women’s game itself, everyone who knew him always spoke so warmly of him, about the person he was.

If you’ve got five minutes to spare, you can watch one of the best goals you’ll ever see get better and better. But you might watch it again and again and again…

Booing Newcastle fans didn’t get why Hugo Ekitike chose #LFC over them, or why Alexander Isak wanted to swap St James' Park for Anfield, just after winning the League Cup.

Ambitious fans, I get it. Saudi cash rich, first trophy in their lifetimes, hungry for more.

But players are ambitious too.

Too warm for that amount of breathtaking. 3-2 #LFC in the fixture that lives for high scoring one goal wins.

I know people will say Liverpool didn’t deserve the win, but goals win games and all three Liverpool goals were outstanding, including that dream one well into added time!

So much was special tonight, four forwards scoring, the comeback, all the ways Diogo was remembered, including Mo at the end, the impeccable silence and so much more.

But one person found a way to overshadow it. Has to be dealt with properly by the courts. Should never be near Anfield again.

The UK outlets who chose to publish photos there was no need to publish, of the car that Diogo Jota and his brother died in, are a disgrace.

The staff members who made the decision to run them should hang their heads in shame.

If they won’t regulate themselves they need to be regulated.

Absolutely devastating news about #LFC striker Diogo Jota, who has died in a car accident in Spain with his younger brother. Really hoped it was a hoax but sadly it's now been confirmed. Only 28, literally just married. Three kids have lost their dad. Heartbreaking. 💔

The German word for Jeremie Frimpong's position, as used by Bayer Leverkusen in their article announcing his transfer to Liverpool, is Flügelsprinter (wing-sprinter), which makes more sense than any of the English words.

Saddened and sickened by the scenes from Water Street on what was otherwise an extremely happy day.

Cannot make sense of what happened.

Only started to hear about it on the way home and hoped it was all exaggerated.

Now hoping for miracles.
