(The Guardian) 37 min Alioski is booked for legging Mane up. Just before that, Dallas floated a cross to Harrison beyond the far post. He could have volleyed at goal but instead tried to cushion the ball back across to Bamford, and Fabinho nipped in front of him to clear.

(The Guardian) 38 min If it stays like this Liverpool will move up to fourth, above West Ham on goal difference, for whatever it’s worth.

39 min Now Firmino is booked for a super foul on Ayling.

(The Guardian) 40 min Meslier makes a fine save from Jota, who read Llorente’s dodgy backpass and tried to lob it over the keeper.
41 min When Liverpool play like this, it becomes very hard to understand their shambles of a season. At the best, and they’ve been pretty close tonight, they are nigh-on unstoppable.

(The Guardian) 42 min Tyler Roberts sidefoots a first-time shot at goal from the edge of the area. It’s nowhere near the corner and Alisson saves easily.

(The Guardian) 44 min “Hi Rob, I hope you’re keeping well,” says Niall Mullen. “I don’t doubt that even a cursory examination of football’s history would quickly put paid to the ideas of the sport as some Corinthian idyll. Nor do I doubt for a second that any of the other teams, Leeds, Everton, West Ham, whoever would have joined the proposed Super League given half a chance. Also I know that all things change and that those things that seemed eternal and monolithic as a child are mere transient bagatelles that only imprint themselves thus on your impressionable mind. This still absolutely effing stinks though.” Yeah, in more ways than one it’s the fat end of the wedge. I’m probably wrong but I can’t see how this can be resolved satisfactorily.

(The Guardian) Half time: Leeds 0-1 LiverpoolPeep peep! A motivated Liverpool are ahead thanks to a goal from Sadio Mane. They’ve been much the better team, really impressive in fact, and could have scored a couple more.

(BBC Sport) Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa to Sky Sports: "This doesn't surprise me. The most superior teams have managed their superiority through competition. When they no longer need them to win money they discard what they no longer need. This is a very common thing, not only in football. It shouldn't surprise us. "The fundamental problem is the rich always aspire to be more rich without considering the consequences for the rest. As they gain more power they start demanding more privilege over the rest. "The most powerful are powerful because of what they bring but the rest are dispensable. What makes competition great is the possibility for one of those weak teams to develop, not the big teams playing each other. But the logic of the world at the moment and in football is not outside this - that the powerful become more rich as a consequence of the weak becoming more poor. If this was is what guides the world at the moment why is there such astonishment. This shouldn't surprise us. It was something that was coming."

Leon Osman, Former Everton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live: Leeds have not been able to do enough at the top end of the field. Liverpool are making Leeds work so hard but when Leeds get the ball they don't have the energy to keep it. Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota have got down the sides of the Leeds centre-halves far too easily. Liverpool have known when to stay tight and when to press and Leeds have not been able to match that.

Chris Sutton, Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live: When words like 'snakes' and 'liars' are being used, no-one knows what will happen. The players are being put in a position they didn't deserve and the managers are being put in a position they didn't deserve - this is why the owners are cowardly.
Come out and front up and tell us why. Then, maybe, we won't agree with it, but will accept it a bit more. The owners are hanging members of their own clubs out to dry. Micah Richards, Former Man City defender on BBC Radio 5 Live: "It's always difficult for the players, they have to go on the pitch and just focus on the game - it's not the players' faults, it's the owners taking things into their own hands. The players are in a horrible situation but I don't think any blame should be placed on them.
"Players are the last to know anything. We didn't know Roberto Mancini was being sacked until the morning of it, we were the last to know."
On whether players will be banned from playing in the World Cup or European Championships: "I don't think it will get to that. Are Uefa or Fifa going to have the players not going? They won't do that. "If you have Ronaldo or Messi playing at the World Cup it's positive for Fifa. It's all about money. It's a powerplay and it's all to do with politics. It's down to money and greed."

Looking like we are back to our best. Thiago looking world class, Jota and Trent look world class to.

(The Guardian) 52 min “Surely there are various options to solve this and surely it’s very significant that the UK government will do everything it can to stop this,” says Francis Mead. “We could have the German 51% rule to limit foreign ownership; we could even have a ‘socialist” draft system like the NFL to even up the competitions; and the PL, the FA and the government could lay down regulations that determine that competitions must have open-ended entry and the chance of regulation and promotion. Already players are likely to be banned from the Euros and World Cup - that is not trivial. Things are very far from lost at the moment - it could actually be a good moment for fair reforms.” It could, but I’d say it’s pretty unlikely.

(The Guardian) 56 min It feels like a matter of time before Liverpool get a second goal. They have been intimidatingly good tonight.
57 min A wicked low cross from Alioski just evades Bamford in the middle. Robertson turns it behind for a corner. That almost leads to a chance when Roberts’ mishit shot is kept in play by Ayling on the byline. He cushions a volley back into the middle and Liverpool clear.
