GWT: EPL - Matchweek 2

Paul Tierney mate

I hate this guy soooo much.

I will turn off all games he refs ever again.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Hahahaha. You think United had a chance? The test will be if United don’t ship 5.

United obviously in shambles but Liverpool isn’t exactly lights out at the moment either. If Ten Hag picks the right squad there is a slight chance. Could very well also be a new 0-5.

It depends who score first.

His new look made him more tolerable though, looks less douchey now

What was so wrong with him today?

 

[bluesfan94]

What was so wrong with him today?

He let physicality go in both directions which caused Nunez to headbutt someone

Are you kidding? No consistency at all.
Roller Coaster of a game.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Agree or disagree with what he let go today, but it was very much consistent for both sides.

Consistently bad. Am I RiGhT? But seriously, I Thought he was bad today but not egregious. Red card was the right call that’s all that really matters/people will remember.

United’s just what the doctor ordered for Liverpool. They’ll bust them out of that slump easily.

 

[trostol]

he may have been consistent with letting a lot go..but that's part of the problem..he had no control of the game

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Salah never sits. So, you’ve got Firmino, Diaz, Nunez and Jota looking to start. Carvalho, Ox, Elliott all can fit in up front in a pinch.

Are they one light? Maybe. But I think it’s hard to look at Jota who got decent numbers last season and say, hey, you’re sitting each week.

I would say when healthy they've got the numbers actually, it's quality which has taken a hit with Mane's departure.

That’s my issue too.

What does that even mean? If something isn't a foul, should he whistle it to "control the game?"

The directive was given this year to let more physical contact go; fouls have to really be earned. People seem not to like that but that's the directive.

Do you know who else followed directives?!?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Oh, do you mean the SEC dude Sean Cahill?

Portrayed by Neil McDonough, who was also in Band of Brothers


Sure, but the comment wasn't 90 minutes in.

Yeah that’s the one

 

[hatterson]

The only thing that confused me is that Arsenal got a free kick from the spot of the "coming together." Which might just be a quirk of how VAR is used, but I thought it should have been a goal kick, unless they're saying Vardy dove, which should be a yellow, although perhaps it's because you can't award a yellow from VAR?

Idk - it's minutia level stuff; the call itself was clearly correctly overturned.

I think it's technically supposed to be a drop ball to the keeper if the penalty award is overturned for lack of a foul and the referee has discretion to either award a yellow or not for simulation.

 

[Savant]

That’s soccer

FWIW, this isn’t accurate using xG Philosophy’s numbers.

Plus they’ve played Fulham and Palace.

there are a bunch of xG sites they are all a little different. The point is obviously that LFC have been inefficient but they are getting chances.

And you can only play who is on the schedule

 

[Blender]

Even the biggest official apologist thinks this was a massive f***up.

 

[Power Man]

Fubo finally putting 1080p highlights, and with manager post game intervio

For reference DAZN highlights were 780 p

 

[Peen]

NG out 3-4 weeks, Kovacic already injured.

Gallagher or RLC into CM with Jorginho now.

you say this like Frenkie isn’t starting your next match and Kante won’t be back for the Liverpool game

It's almost cute seeing people complaining about Tierney after yesterday's game. I tbh didn't think that Tierney was that bad. I won't commend him but there wasn't really anything controversial in that game as compared to some of the shit I saw on the weekend.

Title looks lost btw for Liverpool the attack is not cohesive like it was with Salah/Sane and whoever earlier now it feels like each attacker is doing it more individually.

Also anyone see that RLC/Reece James combo on Chelsea's right side then watch yesterday's game and think how OP England could be if they did that with TAA and Reece James both starting on their right side? TAA would be the one to go forward more with James doing more defending but the two are smart enough to switch back and forth.

Southgate is too much of a boring breadstick to try something like that though.
