I feel like Forest put up with Turner‘s weaknesses with the ball at his feet because he’s a plus shot stopper. If he’s not stopping minus shots that’s going to get ugly in a hurry.
Slid past center for the second, leaving Saka additional room for error. Nice finish, but if his starting position is better he has a shot.
Not sure that's fair.. if he doesn't go farther left then Saka has the entire corner available to him. Also the defender was on the side that Saka shot to.. so he was theoretically covering part of that corner. In addition it's notoriously more difficult to save a shot when you kick it to the direction the keeper is coming from. As it was I think he made it as difficult as he could, if he's not moving to the corner Saka could basically have shot it in the direction he was moving, which I think is an easier shot.
Also a half-hearted effort by the defender on blocking it - should have gone to ground instead of the old Ole
Having a hard time getting a still that tells the whole story. Going frame by frame, his starting spot wasn’t awful- I’ll concede that. What got me (and him) was he tried to set again after the ball was struck. Saka had a fairly quick release and Turner hopped again after the ball was struck. He had no chance. His footwork to get across was fantastic, just couldn’t generate power in time while being stuck in midair.
Godfrey was two feet out from goal, and Beto was in front of him, and Godfrey kicked into Beto's body, twice.
If you ask me before the game if I take a point away to Fulham I take it, but JFC it's like there's a pane of liquor store plexiglas over the goal mouth.
What took so long?? Heh. Luton needed just 19 seconds to score against Brighton, and got another just 40 seconds of play later (3rd min). Seagulls looking a little wobbly lately, after that streak of 20ish games both scoring and conceding, they had two scoreless draws before this debacle.
I’d like to see that again. Looked like the Brentford defender went down with very little contact.
It definitely looked like at first glance that he went down without that much contact--but the lack of real reaction by Richarlison for getting his goal ruled out may be the best indicator that he knows what he did.
The Liverpool counterattack seems to be catching Chelsea. Understandable as Klopp is debuting it today.
And another. 3-1 in a blink. And all of Tottenham doing the darts celebration. Not a super smart move by brentford.
Klopp's ability to bed in youth is unparalleled. I don't think that can be fully replaced.
Paul Tierney only awarded Liverpool that penalty because he knew Darwin would miss it. #galaxybrain
