GWT: EPL - Matchweek 2

[bluesfan94]

This match should be a reality check. You can’t replace Mane and Origi with just one guy.

I think you also need to include Minamino in that. Of course, Diaz is part of the replacement brigade as well.

 

[Savant]

Rickie Lambert, Kyrgiakos, Pellegrino

None of these players were bought as stopgaps and you had to go back almost a decade to 2014, pre-Klopp, to name the most recent

They 100% are counting Diaz as part of this.

 

[trostol]

Diaz is all over the place in this game

I think it's worse if Lambert was brought in to be a real player for one season at the age of 32.

And yes, I have to go back because it is very rare that a team is in the summer window with 11+ players injured.

 

[Rob]

Looks like Palace is trying to hold on to the single point.

 

[Savant]

I will not be having any Luis Diaz slander

Lambert was bought to be backup/change the game option as part of the plan to replace Luis Suarez in the aggregate. Lambert was coming off a double digit scoring system where he was getting England caps. He lasted one season because he was a bust.

Looks like Palace is trying to hold on to the single point.

There is a special circle in hell for parking the bus when you are up a man.

Carvalho replaces him I’d say but I don’t consider Diaz a replacement. We bought him because our squad needed more quality, I don’t like retroactively saying he was replacing someone.

 

[bluesfan94]

Zaha needs to use his left foot. Could very easily have a hattrick

 

[Chimaera]

This match should be a reality check. You can’t replace Mane and Origi with just one guy.

This is also slightly short sighted. I’m sorry, but Jota and Firmino (hell even Ox) fit and it isn’t a discussion.

There’s enough player there to make up, it’s just not fit right now

 

[Burner Account]

That's a gift

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Looked shit all game, then he does that.

Shit? He is by far the best player on the pitch...

 

[Prntscrn]

Gomez big weakness on show right there

 

[Savant]

Oh hey. Chris Richards debut

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Yeah, Liverpool have plenty of attackers. Just going through an injury crisis.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Carvalho replaces him I’d say but I don’t consider Diaz a replacement. We bought him because our squad needed more quality, I don’t like retroactively saying he was replacing someone.

That's exactly what happened, though. West Ham seemed like they were close with Diaz, so rather than wait until the summer, Liverpool just bought him in the winter.

He was a forward looking replacement, to me, and I think it was said at the time that he was bought with a look toward the eventual departure of Firmino/Salah/Mane.

This is also slightly short sighted. I’m sorry, but Jota and Firmino (hell even Ox) fit and it isn’t a discussion.

I know Ox was a parenthetical, but to rely on him would be foolish.

Shit? He is by far the best player on the pitch...

Now. He wasn't until he scored and then he turned it on.

FSG 100% considers Diaz as a replacement that came in early

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Shit? He is by far the best player on the pitch...

Yeah, in the last 15 minutes.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Shit? He is by far the best player on the pitch...

Before he scored he was doing everything wrong.

 

[trostol]

nice to see Diaz getting mugged there

 

[KlausJopling]

Hit that Zaha.

 

[Savant]

The difference between a Tyler/Beglin booth and a Drury booth is so different

 

[bluesfan94]

Zaha is wasteful. He's so good at getting chances but doesn't do great at finishing them and doesn't linkup well.

 

[Savant]

Before he scored he was doing everything wrong.

That’s what the great players do though.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Zaha what are you doing mate.
