Hello Bluesky. Is this platform fading away already? Feels like it’s lost its momentum, certainly in the circles I am interested in.
Who's excited? Tonight Liverpool host Real Madrid in what is perhaps the biggest match-up of this year's group stage. Follow all the action with me at Mail Sport with expert analysis from Oliver Holt and @lewissteele.bsky.social. www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba...

🚨 BIG BREAKING 🇪🇬 Mohamed Salah says he is disappointed in the club as he reveals no contract offer is on the table. Says he loves playing for Liverpool but is “more out than in” at the moment. 🔴 Full story on @MailSport #LFC www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba...
Salah reveals he is yet to receive any offers to stay at Liverpool
LEWIS STEELE: At St Mary's, Salah personally pointed at some journalists and asked to speak to them, clearly with the intent to get his feelings off his chest.

Mo Salah the first Liverpool player to score in five straight PL games since Mo Salah in 2021. That penalty was his 100th away goal for the club in all comps. #STATS
Slot conducts the away end and they oblige by singing his song
I'm going to end up mentioning Mookie Betts in another article aren't I.
There are 78 points left to play for so no need to get carried away but being eight points clear feels huge, especially noting this was meant to be a transition season for Liverpool. This was far from their best level - two of the goals were gifted by Saints' stupidity - but another massive win.
A big cheer from the St Mary's crowd as Alex McCarthy hoofs it long instead of messing about with the ball at the back again
What changes would you make? Personally, Liverpool are lacking control in midfield so Alexis Mac Allister has to be thrown on soon. Luis Diaz, too, whether down the left or through the middle.
Saints fans singing 'shit Andy Carroll' to Darwin Nunez which means you should probably stick the house on him to score next goal
1-1. Adam Armstrong scores a rebound after Caoimhin Kelleher saves the first effort
Lewis Steele@lewissteele.bsky.social · 2y agoPenalty Southampton. Andy Robertson with the foul on Tyler Dibling after Virgil van Dijk gave the ball away cheaply. But hold on... looks like it's outside the box.

An applause from all four corners of the ground as Adam Lallana is substituted with an injury
Big chance for Saints to draw level as Flynn Downes nearly atones for his earlier error but, as he has done in every game on this run in the team, Caoimhin Kelleher stands tall and makes a top reaction save.
'Liverpool, top the league' chants from the away end for the first time today. They're 1-0 up from a gift from Southampton - but Dominik Szoboszlai still had lots to do and he finished with style.
As many predicted we have a very open game on our hands here. Southampton's murderball giving Liverpool plenty of openings BUT Saints have created a couple of chances and Adam Armstrong wants a penalty for a push from Ibou Konate. Not given but a warning
First matchday since joining this app so let’s do something different. Behind the scenes thread… come with me to Southampton v Liverpool as a journalist. Leg two of the journey just starting here: London Waterloo to Southampton 🚂. Believe that’s the Shard there. #LFC 🔴
If you, like me, are en route to Southampton v Liverpool… Here is some pre-match reading on Arne Slot, why he avoids looking at the clock at certain times, what he does in his spare time and how he is settling into life at Liverpool. Safe travels in the storm ☔️ mol.im/a/14115185
How Arne Slot fell in love with Liverpool in his first 100 days
LEWIS STEELE: There are two scenes which perfectly paint the picture of how Arne Slot is slowly falling in love with Liverpool and how the Kop has grown to adore this low-key, smooth operator.

Werder Bremen follow St Pauli’s lead in leaving X. Chapeau. I wonder which English club will be brave enough to be first.
We have our first hurdle with Bluesky. At fair few thousand of you been duped by some fake accounts claiming to be journos from the Merseyside pack. Sadly, @iandoylesport.bsky.social is really Ian Doyle though.
Scotland boss Steve Clarke on Ben Doak: ‘He can be a game changer, as long as we look after the boy. When I watch his progress (at Boro) he’s improved already. There’s a lot to work on but you can all be excited.’ #LFC 🔴🏴 www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/scotla...
Scotland boss Clarke refuses to confirm if Doak will start in Poland
Steve Clarke has warned that he won't gamble on playing Ben Doak against Poland if he feels that two games in four days would place too much strain on the teenage winger.
