GWT: EPL - Matchweek 12

[Jussi]

If result holds at Vitality, Newcastle and Man U will be level on points despite Newcastle's goal difference being 19 goals better than United's.

Solanke has put Bournemouth up 1-0.

 

[Savant]

How many prime time games have Newcastle had this season? Feels like they are the late game (almost) every week

 

[Jussi]

Solanke has two now.

Good on them?

Conspiracy?

 

[Savant]

Conspiracy?

They’ve been in that slot (I think) 9 of the last 12 games. That’s a crazy outlier. I’m just curious why. Doesn’t have to be a conspiracy; could just be an odd scheduling quirk. But again would be curious why that keeps happening, just as I am curious why LFC keep getting the early game after the international break (they are again after this next one btw).

 

[al secord]

Was that Chunks on the bench with the shaved head?

 

[JPBolts]

a yellow for that? wow didn't look like a foul by Matip

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Nunez has been possessed in this game. Denied two great goals for offside and a brilliant assist to Salah. He is truly the difference maker in that game.

 

[Savant]

Strong first half from Darwin.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I just realised LFC don't have any senior midfielder nor defender available on the bench other than Elliott (who is more a forward and 20 years old). Wow!

the international break is coming at a good time. Everyone is banged up

No idea why he got yellow on that, but easily could have got yellow for his foul there so I guess it evened out

 

[Savant]

Thought that Endo was going to get sent there. To me, the Endo one was worse than the ones that Alexis, Virgil and Jones got the VAR red cards for already this season. Guess they didn’t want to overturn the call on the field?

 

[Savant]

Salah makes it 2-0 kind of against the run of play. Mbeumo is tearing them apart right now. Brentford fell asleep because they thought the ball was out. LFC def needed a second

Standard lineup for Chelsea today.

 

[Savant]

Diogo makes it 3-0. Maybe we will get a Nyoni cameo?

I still don't know what were the injuries of Bajcetic or Thiago but it is insane that they are still out after that long off the field...

No one knows. I think Bajcetic came back early and re-injured himself. Same with Jones.

Honestly I’m worried about Gravenberch; his came out of nowhere and no idea how/when it happened.

I’m not counting on Thiago playing for LFC again. Bajcetic coming back solves a lot of problems. He’s much better than Endo; but Endo was only ever going to be a bandage

Anthony Taylor the referee today, I am mentally prepared for the weak Manchester City penalty or Chelsea red card.

 

[These Are The Days]

Need me a Chelsea win today just as much as their fans do

 

[Chimaera]

Bajectic they think it’s kinda similar to the Kaide Gordon growing pains and getting used to the physical grind. It’s fine, he’s a child. It takes time.

As for Gravenberch, not having a Liverpool preseason probably means they’re going to baby him.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

This would be an insane penalty to give

Games gone games gone

 

[bleedblue1223]

That is a ridiculous penalty to give.

 

[Blender]

What did I say? Weak penalty.

Haaland blatantly fouls Cucurella to pull ahead of him, but Cucurella gets called for fouling him back.
