Still - self inflicted

I know. And they still haven't registered a shot. Ferguson has barely had a kick. No surprise he's coming off.

 

[fletcherpost]

Dunk's junk got kerplunked - looked a sore one.

 

[67YAZ]

Some outrageous skill on display, especially by Jesus, but Dunk’s brick wall act is keeping Brighton in this thing.

 

[fletcherpost]

You know it's game over when Havertz scores.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Kudus with 2 more goals, West ham coasting up 3-0 on Wolves

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Wild ending between Villa and Brentford. Red cards, play acting, shoving, etc. It all started with Emi Martinez and Maupay, of course.

carrying on their rivalry from the Championship or am I confusing their rivalry with Leeds?

 

[67YAZ]

Liverpool coming out hot.

 

[67YAZ]

The ponytail bros have to calm down

 

[67YAZ]

Luke Shaw went along for a piggyback ride.

 

[Carbo Loading]

Szbozolai has been poor today

 

[Section30]

TAA has also been..not sharp.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

LFC has been very bright - great at ball recovery - but not much end product. Nunez is really starting to irritate me. It’s one thing to be offside on dangerous break away attempts - but not on simple knockabout around the box.

 

[fletcherpost]

Man, Liverpool are well off it. So many sloppy (would be) key passes. Jota's a big miss in matches like this.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Gravenberch out for Gakpo. Is it Gomez for Endo with Trent moving Up?

Edit - hmm, Szobo?

 

[67YAZ]

Can’t remember a team banging more passes & shots into opponents than Pool today.

 

[SocrManiac]

Dude, Trent.

 

[OCST]

Dunk's junk got kerplunked - looked a sore one.

This is beautiful.

 

[OCST]

Dude, Trent.

I don’t know how that didn’t go in.

 

[fletcherpost]

Oh Trent, hopefully that was a sighter.

 

[SocrManiac]

Allison is the first goalkeeper I’ve ever felt has the full advantage on 1 on 1s.

 

[SocrManiac]

Darwin must have a reputation for that foul not to have been awarded.

 

[SocrManiac]

How can Curtis Jones even be in the matchday squad after Thursday’s effort?

 

[67YAZ]

Why did Darwin stop? A mess

 

[SocrManiac]

Why did Darwin stop? A mess

He’s not good enough, he’s not smart enough, but gosh darn it, Klopp likes him.

 

[Pesky Pole]

A bit strange to be chasing a goal and have Gakpo, Saleh and Elliott as your forwards with a midfield of Endo, Jones and Trent.

 

[fletcherpost]

Utd turned up Liverpool haven't. Some games you take a point and move on. A better team would have the beating of Liverpool today - and it's not over.

 

[SocrManiac]

Weird effect of the current handling rule is that a defender can accidentally control the ball in the box with his arm and be in the clear. I agree it’s the right call.

We're getting nothing today.

 

[67YAZ]

Hannibal was more ready for Trent’s pass than Gomez.

 

[Pesky Pole]

This has been Endo's best game by a mile.

 

[SocrManiac]

What a stupid move by Dalot. Clearly out off him and he picks himself up a red card for dissent.

 

[67YAZ]

2 yellows for dissent?

 

[SocrManiac]

Painful. Everything but a clinical finish.

 

[fletcherpost]

Oh Trent, you've been fuckin mince today.

 

[lars10]

I'm pretty sure if you watch the replay.. it hit Salah's foot last

 

[SocrManiac]

Side angle looks that way. Front angle doesn’t.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Trent picked a bad time to have really bad game. Tons of chances - nothing but frustration.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

No issues with a double-yellow for dissent there.
IF, IF it is always judged as such.

It don't.

 

[fletcherpost]

I wonder if 50,000 scousers screamed for a penalty if the VARs would have spent a little longer looking at the Shaw handball. Seems like it was all over a bit too quickly compared to some handball reviews.

 

[OCST]

Allison is the first goalkeeper I’ve ever felt has the full advantage on 1 on 1s.

That one he saved to his left, I think Kelkeger gets beat

 

[Zomp]

No issues with a double-yellow for dissent there.
IF, IF it is always judged as such.

It don't.

I have an issue with it. Two yellows for dissent within seconds of each other meanwhile Darwin elbows Evans, kicks the ball away, and claps at the referee. One yellow.


Varane showing his class today. He’s on the wrong side of 30 and injury prone but man is he a good defender.

 

[the1andonly3003]

Didn't watch the game, but seems like TAA didn't pass the eye test. Looking at FPL stats, TAA received 3 bonus points for his efforts.

Raul Jimenez w/ a red yesterday...looks like the Fulham/AEW crossover is getting their lines blurred!
