GWT: Matchweek 19

[Halladay]

I mean, if Chelsea are in it, then Tottenham are in it. City is the favorite unless Liverpool beat them next Thursday in Manchester. Oh and Liverpool have Arsenal this weekend too, although you can argue Liverpool are playing Arsenal at a good time. Liverpool need the 3 points today.

If Liverpool get out of that game with a 4 point lead or more, City is not the favorite.

Liverpool is not the favorite unless they are up 7 points.

 

[Halladay]

Liverpool is not the favorite unless they are up 7 points.

I disagree.

 

[Savant]

Salah scored a penalty to make it 2-0. It was a pretty soft call, but that's also the first PK that they have scored at Anfield since November 2016, so I guess they were due.

 

[Savant]

I disagree.

And that's okay. City is still a goliath, and Goal Difference could still decide it like it did in 13/14. Liverpool aren't going to go unbeaten. 4 point cushion is not enough for me to feel comfortable

 

[hatterson]

De Gea is unreal.

The goal difference is being cut down. Despite how great City were last year, they won many points in the last 5 minutes and injury time. They aren't getting 100 points again. Couple in the fact that Fernandinho is hurt and they have no real replacement for him, and their fullbacks arent playing well, they are vulnerable.

[hatterson]

Should be a two match ban for simulation.

 

[Jussi]

Pogba!

 

[The Abusement Park]

Mata what a run.

 

[hatterson]

Rashford has had another really good game up top. Offers a lot more than Lukaku has been.

 

[Blender]

Yikes, he should definitely get a game or two for that.

 

[robertmac43]

Was that the penalty call?

 

[hatterson]

Was that the penalty call?

Yea.

 

[Halladay]

Cause grabbing someones arm in the penalty area is always a good idea.

Just because it's not a smart play by the defender doesn't mean it's not a joke from Salah and shouldn't earn an easy ban for simulation.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Lol Salah "takes a tumble" as the commentator puts it.

Egregious.

When was the last time they suspended someone for diving? Think it has happened once to Niasse. We are both biased on this subject, so Im not going to discuss this any further.

Someone grabbing your arm doesn't give you free reign to flop to the pitch with a disgusting dive.

 

[Halladay]

Tottenham has 5 goals this game again.

 

[Prntscrn]

That arm grab was definitely enough to get Salah out of balance and Salah definitely played his part too.

 

[Gecklund]

This game is the exact reason I drafted Pogba with my first pick in our draft. On talent alone, he is arguably the best player in the PL and is now able to show it.

 

[Jussi]

Pogba again!

 

[PeteWorrell]

Son once again leaving to play for South Korea will suck for Tottenham as he is really in form right now.
