I immensely dislike MNF, especially when they started adding Friday matches, but it is what it is.

I am expecting an auto loss from the Arsenal. At Selhurst Park on Monday, probably going to rain, and a late start. Recipe for a Gerrard slip for Thomas in the 81st minute for Ayew to score the GWG from a 1-1 stalemate where Havertz will look invisible, but will get the goal. I know this club way to well.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

I think Salah can outscore Haaland this week.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I’d like to see Sarr start over Skipp.

 

[LOGiK]

Whats with the postponement?

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Romero is fit to play tomorrow again.

 

[robertmac43]

Brighton tends to have a good showing at the Molineux. Expecting another 6 point weekend from the robertmac household.

 

[Savant]

I don’t think Endo got his work permit in time for this game so it’s probably similar lineup as last week

 

[East Coast Bias]

A dramatic Forest winner kept the ECB premier league parlay alive as we enter the weekend.

 

[hatterson]

He's in an offside position but that's clearly an intentional play of the ball by the defender and should be a goal.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

That should be a goal, no?

 

[hatterson]

Ball never lies?

lol

 

[spintheblackcircle]

LOOOONG season for Liverpool.......incoming.......

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Trent lol

 

[hatterson]

That should be a goal, no?

From a gameplay standpoint I like that those aren't counted as goals since the player is clearly influencing the defender by being there despite being offside, but based on the way the rules are written, it's not offside since the attacker didn't make a move for the ball/didn't pressure any defenders until the defender played it.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

shambolic

 

[Chimaera]

The system with Trent in the midfield from the Right is stupid. They’re going to leak goals until it goes.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Best GK in the world.

 

[Savant]

LFC deserve to be losing, but Bournemouth should be down to ten men and (maybe) should have been a PK

 

[Blender]

Brilliant goal from Mitoma. BHA's next player they sell for £100M probably.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Jota behave

 

[Savant]

LOOOONG season for Liverpool.......incoming.......

Been saying it

 

[al secord]

Brilliant goal from Mitoma. BHA's next player they sell for £100M probably.

To Chelsea or Liverpool?

 

[Canes]

Jota blows, enough is enough
