GWT: PL Matchweek 4

[Chimaera]

Mane is having a stinker

Yep. Last 14 months at least.

 

[Burner Account]

Very small sample size but Ox looks cooked

 

[Chimaera]

Hopefully that helps

 

[Live in the Now]

Brilliant from Henderson and Thiago.

 

[Machinehead]

Unbeaten in 14. We must be back on the apple juice.

 

[Peen]

Dumbass tackle and deserved red

Dumbass tackle and deserved red

I don't even care about the red at this point...poor Elliott that injury looks absolutely awful. Could easily end up ruining his career.

 

[YNWA14]

Ankle breaking tackle, literally. Easy red.

I think it was his tibia...(though hard to tell based on the grainy replay I had to find)

[Jersey Fresh]

Struijk ways seems like one of those guys that are just never in control. There's a few guys like that that just tackle first and worry about everything else later.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

The quality of Mane finishing and decision making is shockingly bad. He should focus on his shot placement instead of always going for power. At some point he had the gk and the defender down and had a wide open net if he placed the ball at the net instead of going down with power.

 

[YNWA14]

Yeah I don't really want to watch it again, but it almost looked too high up for me to be just his ankle but I just hope whatever it is he can come back from it. Young enough, hopefully, to make a full recovery.

 

[Chimaera]

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Not sure it's an ankle break, maybe fibula. Bad injury but here's hoping he recovers well during this season. Too many years ahead, don't rush it.

 

[Savant]

Dislocated Ankle at minimum (official)

 

[Savant]

This is pretty incredible.

 

[robertmac43]

That injury was brutal to watch. Hoping Elliot has a speedy recovery!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

This statement pisses me off more than the actual game. Spurs had zero shots in the first half compared to Palace's seven. What control?

Spurs had 0.1 xG for the entire game.

Any manager thinking that’s an acceptable half should be immediately fired.

 

[Live in the Now]

Even considering the Elliott injury...that was the best Liverpool have played in at least a year. And they have everyone else fit and ready to go so it could be worse. Thiago, Salah, Matip, Jota were all brilliant here.

 

[Chimaera]

Especially considering VVD is still getting into form.

Alisson also looks to be back to his best

There were worries. It was not perfect and yes had they been more clinical (Mane) the game would have been more lopsided but opposite teams are still too often able to play long balls behind the line.

Wouldn't have guessed it. He's been great from his first game back imo

 

[Live in the Now]

I can see why Klopp lost his mind from this angle. Seriously wtf.

That is a great view. His right leg is "fine" because he can win the ball (and he did) ahead of Elliott the problem is the jump with a trailing leg and that is exactly what happened the defender left leg landed on Harvey Elliott and that is exactly why it is a leg breaker challenge and an obvious red card. Now hopefully Elliott can return in full form.

The rule is not just winning the ball it's also being in control of your body.
