Florian Wirtz‘s first goal for Liverpool secured the Reds’ fourth consecutive win, but the second-half performance was far from convincing against the Premier League‘s worst team. We just don't look like a very good team — Green Scouser (@Green_Scouser) December 27, 2025 “My god that was an awful second half performance – a draw if it weren’t for Bradley – there were some good moments in the first half.

They are truly dreadful at them and something needs to be done. — David Lynch (@davidlynchlfc) December 27, 2025 Everyone behind the ball deep in own half holding onto dear life with one goal lead against one of the absolute worst sides of all time in Premier League history…. — Jan ?íha (@HonzaRihaftbl) December 27, 2025 “Wirtz’s best game for us this season…feel like we will be saying that a few more times from now to the end of the season. If they don't fix that issue, this season will only go so far. — Mo Stewart (@The_Mighty_Mojo) December 27, 2025 It’s another win but none of it looks good.
