I’ll still be shocked if Liverpool are not in the top four by season’s end.

They need to stop the bleeding. Luckily they have the worst team in the league at Anfield on Saturday, but even that may be papering over the cracks. The league is A LOT better this year.

Someone needs to check the tolerance levels of the refs controlling var….


Had a look at that thread, one thing they will bring in the World Cup is quicker and accurate calls. Ducking brilliant no one thought of this before?

They will be. Easily I’d say. Just need to get past this injury crisis.

Not for arsenal who I assume will go 82-0

Not only that they’ll give city a run for their money… at least I hope. Would be a stupid boring season otherwise. 6/7?

City is going to run away with it this year

He slightly misstated when one green line is shown. It’s not strictly when the player is onside due to tolerance, but any time the lines are within the tolerance. So on goals 2 seasons ago where the player was determined onside by a millimeter the system will also show only 1 line.

Granted in this case Rashford looks far closer to being clearly offside than clearly onside, so the point of “only onside due to the rule change” is likely correct, however one of the points of the implementation was that both slightly on and slightly off are considered the same so you don’t truly know “he was offside, but not by enough to call” as opposed to just a generic “it’s too close to definitely say given frame rates and pixelation, therefore attacker gets benefit of the doubt”

Is this the “Wenger offsides/onside” ?

Says Liverpool fans every year I get the complex

 

[hockey20000]

liverpool are in trouble there squad are aging and if they dont get some midfielders in they very well could be fighting for 4th to 6th more then with city for titles in the years to come

I was right about LFC in 19/20. That was nice.

I mean if you say it every year you might be right once

I don't think City are going to be as good this year either. Also every team with tons of players playing in the World Cup is going to take some damage. Someone is gonna come back from the WC and have a couple key players hurt. Point being it's still too early to know anything.

The north London teams are better, but they aren’t 15-20 points better. That’s what the need to catch City.

Yea it definitely happened. A lot of us saw it, and anyway how did anyone demonstrate a lack of class. As soon as the match was over any events on the pitch we all just moved on from it. We lost and tbh I thought we should have equalized but that's not what happened. I also don't buy the offside explanation but anyway they won we didn't the end.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Leeds beating Chelsea by far. Who ever expected that?

Crazy Premier League this week ...
Some wild matches and some unexpected strong performances by clubs not expected to do so.

On to the second leg of the CL qualifiers tomorrow.
Can't wait.
Good year for football.

Liverpool did not make them work at all. Not to take away from them both being good but it was annoyingly easy for them.

 

[John Price]

 

[Fulham]

Really Really impressed by the Ten Hag interview with Neville and Co. such a likeable character.

 

[hatterson]

Obviously the Americans help, but the fact that they play high energy exciting football certainly doesn’t hurt either.

Yes and Brighton are playing some of the the best stuff in the prem so for anyone really paying attention, this is a marquee matchup.
