GWT: PL Match Week 4

[TheMoreYouKnow]

I guess that makes sense but frustrating

I figured it was that, but that's a technicality that simply shouldn't be there. The ref is a frickin idiot for calling off a play like that because he *thinks* it's a dive and VAR should help overrule idiot refs in *all* circumstances.

That’s pretty much my reaction. It doesn’t really matter.

They’ve lost once in 43 league games, won the CL, don’t even remember the last time they lost in the league at home. This is the golden era, supporters need to enjoy it before it’s over. This team, like it or not, is destroying the competition. The chances to win trophies are now flowing in. Don’t worry about a player not passing the ball in a 3-0. After the fact I don’t think they care.


For someone who was here when things were shit, when our title challenging teams were destroyed by outgoing transfers and proven to be false dawns, this is the peak. This is no false dawn. Theres nothing standard about a team winning matches this frequently. Or to have a spat during the process of destroying another team. That is also the peak.

You can enjoy something and still find flaws in it. Assuming you're going to be great because you are great is how complacency sets in and progress stops. Until Liverpool win the league you can't really say they're 'destroying the competition'. I'm pretty sure most of the Liverpool fans here have been around for long enough to appreciate just how nice this team is.

Also they do care because that blow up is not a matter of one game it's an accumulation. It's not just one game of not passing when you're 3-0 up (and that wasn't the only incident of it in the match). Salah is a wonderful player but certainly not beyond criticism, and certainly if other key players are taking issue with his selfishness it's going to be a problem.

Anyway...as long as Firmino is happy and on form this team will perform. What a player.

 

[Live in the Now]

He was being ridiculous to act like that when the game was out of reach and he already scored. It doesn’t matter to me though.

Also, yes, a team that loses once is destroying the competition. City is too. The other teams don’t have a hope in hell of finishing near them.

 

[Chimaera]

It’s a non issue. I’m happy if a player wants to continue to score. Mane from all accounts is a constant pro. But it’s not a problem at all. I bet Klopp is happy his players are fired up even when the game is out of reach

 

[Chimaera]

Only thing better to end this week would be seeing Arsenal get blasted

Azpi quickly starting to look like he's done at this level.

Last season he looked really suspect, this year it's even worse.

Leicester really had no problem replacing Maguire.

He's better than Maguire.

 

[Cassano]

He's better than Maguire.

Agreed. I was always really high on Soyuncu and wanted Arsenal to sign him the summer Leicester signed him.

Turkey have a great CB partnership moving forward with him and Demiral.

You can add Kabak and Mert Cetin to that as well.

Soyuncu has been pretty damn good so far this season, and definitely a solid part of why Leicester hasn't lost yet.

 

[Burner Account]

Firmino is an absolute riot

Oh, to have Liverpool's problems.

I actually think Arsenal stand a fantastic chance at winning that match. On paper it's probably 50/50 but the Spurs have been stuck in neutral for so damn long that I don't really have much reason to think it's going to change.

Wild start to the Everton/Wolves game with 3 goals in the first 12 minutes, but it's calmed down since then.

Spurs have only won 1 league game at the Emirates.

Clever.

 

[These Are The Days]

Spurs have only won 1 league game at the Emirates.

Sheesh I did not know that. My gut tells me something like 1-1 draw but not a Spurs win today.

Brave goal by Jimenez, headed the ball and got kicked in the face doing it

 

[AB13]

Guendouzi and Xhaka and midfield? So 0 insensity, tempo being slowed down and not winning the ball back is the way to win? Emery this is poor once again.

looks like we are banking on kolasinac crosses to try to score. He has no balls

 

[booyakasha]

How do you start Laca-Auba-Pepe up front and give them a midfield of Xhaka - Guendouzi?
