Coco!!!

Come on Spurs......have them closing out a 3 team parlay. heh. Cuz that's important.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Lucas, and it's two for Spurs after 30 minutes.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Leading the league in goals and subbed off when you're down 0-1. Wouldn't be happy either. Ramsey did **** all when he came on.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Foyth has been great again. Now it's up to slim boy to play him more.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Son gets subbed on and off. Talk about killing confidence.

That didn't age well.

I wouldn’t complain about Clyne getting some minutes. Though I don’t think Trent was that bad. He had some trouble dealing with speed and Arsenal was overloading against him.

I know someone will give me grief, but I thought Gini was a passenger, and Milner wasn’t his best despite putting in a shift. I’m not a fan of that midfield three, especially when Gini looks a bit passive and Milner is still coming back from injury. Arsenal won the midfield, which was a bit of a surprise. No Naby Keita has been tougher than many realize I think. He does more offensively than anyone else has the ability to do at this point in the midfield. If the front three are going to struggle or have issues, the midfield has to help, and he’s the only one who really can.

I’m not a major fan of Fabinho without someone who is ready to get into the box, because he’s caught in between two minds and did a lot of neither. If Shaq plays in the midfield, he doesn’t have to get into the box.

Firmino looks gassed, and he’s pressing. Salah is closer to form, but he was trying to create more than score at times today. Holding was good. Either way, it’s telling Liverpool only used one sub. The team is deep, but not in attack. They’re going to buy an attacker or two and clear out some of the trash. I would buy a dynamic attacker in the midfield and another striker.

I think Klopp thought Emery might be a bit more passive, or that one of the two fullbacks wouldn’t play, and I think that changed some of what he wanted to do.

Winning the league is way too hard with City basically unstoppable. The only hope is that KdB is crocked (I don’t really want that as he’s a marvelous player) or Pep gets tired of it soon. With the former, they’ll buy more and the latter might be longer than Klopp. That’s the reality right now.

 

[Live in the Now]

There's no point in giving up yet. Liverpool has given up two more goals than City so far this season. Way too early to make any judgments.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

That didn't age well.

Trippier started it all...first one he shares responsibility 2nd was pretty soft. Still a good game.

Agreed I still believe Arsenal has a chance to take that title Way to early to make judgements :p

 

[YNWA14]

Arsenal looked good. Some frustrating Liverpool players today (namely Salah, Firmino and TAA). Take the point and move on.

 

[Chimaera]

I don’t completely write it off, but the reality is some teams could get 95 points and end up 8 back. Liverpool could win 31 matches and not get it done.

It’s ok.

 

[bluesfan94]

Tottenham made it interesting.

 

[YNWA14]

Also Gini being a passenger is hilarious.

 

[les Habs]

Fabinho is starting to worry me. We've seen glimpses of what he can do but I'm starting to think he's one of those who are not suited for the Premier League

We'll take him off your hands. You can have Gomes in exchange.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Tottenham made it interesting.

They are the worst-good team I can remember.

 

[hatterson]

They are the worst-good team I can remember.

I’m assuming you’re not counting United as a good team then.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

To hell with NBC Gold! Ugh

 

[Blender]

Zaha is such a huge diver.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I’m assuming you’re not counting United as a good team then.

Not as good as Spurs, no.

To be fair, they really miss Verts. But when you don't bring in capable help in the offseason, you leak goals when you shouldn't.

And for all my talk of saying it may be time to let Hugo move on, he was brilliant yesterday.

 

[hatterson]

I don’t completely write it off, but the reality is some teams could get 95 points and end up 8 back. Liverpool could win 31 matches and not get it done.

It’s ok.

Hell you could get in the low 90s and finish third at the rate Chelsea is going.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

The final score: 6-1, go my team!.

 

[Blender]

Another game where Chelsea is absolutely dominating possession, but just passing the ball around the perimeter with little to show for it. Then they give up a goal on the counter.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Townsend is one of those players that will do nothing for a month and then score a huge goal.

 

[Blender]

Morata with his second of the game.
