Best Twitter reactions: Leicester City 1-2 Liverpool

These are the best player, club and media Tweets following Leicester City’s narrow defeat by Liverpool.

Leicester City lost 2-1 to Liverpool on Saturday. Although, the King Power side were in the game until the final whistle – always pushing the quality Reds for a share of the points.

Two soft goals first-half almost gifted Jurgen Klopp’s team the victory. An embarrassing mistake from Alisson Becker led to the Foxes grabbing ultimately a consolation goal.

Yet, this developing Leicester City team had very good spells before the break; performing even better after the interval. The impressive Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League. Meanwhile, that standing can and will change from gameday to gameday.

After the match, Foxes manager Claude Puel described the “crazy” atmosphere, as his team almost attained a deserved point. A similar sentiment is expressed by some Leicester City squad members via social media.

Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino netted for the Reds. A reply came just after the hour mark, Rachid Ghezzal slotting home on his initial premiership start.

More is available on the game at lcfc.com if you require it.

Ghezzal proved me wrong: showcasing himself as a player truly ready to compete for a place in the team in league contests. His stats were decent: 64 touches, 44 passes with an 86% completion rate.

There were also 2 successful dribbles: hopefully that amount will double as the 27-year-old’s confidence increases. He won three of his four tackles. And finished the one clear chance that presented itself. This splendid display garnered a 7.59/10 WhoScored rating. In addition, the Algerian claimed the club’s Man of the Match.

Thank you to the excellent Claude Puel parody account for the legitimate statistics.

Live from the King Power Stadium, appreciation to the wonderful Leicester City support was Tweeted.

James Maddison had another imposing game in a blue shirt – he took home the Premier League Man of the Match award. A calm and media polished Maddison explained to lcfc.com that:

"“We’ve come away with nothing but there’s a lot of positives to take.”– James Maddison"

Maddison was disappointed with the narrow loss and felt the Blue Army deserved more from the occasion. Although, testing Liverpool so keenly is a genuine motivator to spur on the Foxes.

Harry Maguire echoed the comments of the former Norwich City man.

Ever energetic Ben Chilwell “left it all out there on Saturday”. England U21’s left-back has a major role in the French revolution at Leicester City.

Another thank you to the faithful and a feeling of luck being absent from Wilfred Ndidi.

I am sure the traveling Reds did not see the funny side of this incident.

Alisson was in for a tough time on Twitter subsequently to committing the most unnecessary blunder of the weekend. Squawka with the tongue in cheek reference.

BBC 5 Live expert and former Fox Dion Dublin is indifferent to ball playing goalkeepers – as is currently popular – their main requirement is to keep the ball out or their net. Well said, Mr D.

However, Liverpool Echo’s Ian Doyle reckons Alisson found himself in an awkward position or his teammates’ lackadaisical approach rubbed off on him. An unreasonable attempt by Doyle at alleviating his favourite stopper’s issues.

In conclusion, Leicester City definitely earned a point. Nevertheless, without one, they are still encouraged. With favourable fixtures of Bournemouth, Huddersfield Town and Newcastle United on the horizon – Puel‘s side should absolutely aim for maximum points.
