It was apt that Liverpool closed out a season to forget with a 4-4 draw against a Championship-bound Southampton, a performance that summed up the Reds’ campaign.
Two-nil up inside 15 minutes, scores level after 28 – how thoughtful of Liverpool to give us a season recap at relegated Southampton.
They even doubled down on their efforts by conceding two early in the second half, ensuring we could not miss the Reds’ ugly side, as errors came one after another.
Yet, not without a taste for final-day drama, two goals in the blink of an eye had the scoreboard reading 4-4 as Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota breathed life into the match.
It was not a match exuding quality and that it was a dead rubber gave fans different perspectives on the clash.
The season in 1 game, good riddance to 2022/23…
Fitting end to the season. A game that exposed #LFC lack of depth. But also the potential going forward. Plenty of work to do. But also plenty to build on.

Miserable season ends but the work to take this club to where it belongs needs to start ASAP. Preseason needs to get the best out of Nunez and to mould our new attack into what our previous world class front three was.

End of the LFC season. Good riddance. Big summer of recruiting in right areas ahead. ?. Thanks to Bobby, Ox and Millie for all of their service to the club.

“Absolutely perfect end to a horrible season. Competed for nothing, gifted points to teams ripe for picking, and were shocking on road.”
– Bihari boombox in TIA comments.
“What an abysmal season. We ended it the way we started it – utter chaos, absent midfield & making opposition players look better than they really are.”
– Kloppleganger in TIA comments.

I would call that a typical end of season game were it not for the same glaring deficiencies coming to the fore. Liverpool have been and remain far too easy to play against. Glad to see the end of 2022/23 but huge work required over the summer.

Alisson’s importance highlighted…and he wasn’t even playing
Liverpool Without Allison Is This.

This is the season without Alisson

Today isn't that different to the rest of the season tbh, just usually we'd have Alisson and be 2-1 up so it wouldn't be seen as such a bad performance.

I am serious, without Alisson Becker we would be 16th in the league
