MW28 - Too early for a clever title

[SocrManiac]

Everton looking lively early against Manchester Disappointing. Not a bad way to start the footy weekend.

I need to bail soon to head to a coaching licensing class. Let’s hope the interesting bits happen soon.

 

[SocrManiac]

Definitely a penalty by the letter of the law, but man that’s a harsh result for a foul in that area.

 

[SocrManiac]

Onana is such shit. Seems more worried about the cameras than making a safe and effective save.

Jon Champion ribbing Matt Holland for talking about xG

 

[fletcherpost]

Fair play to Utd for bagging 3 points. Everton had 23 shots, 6 of those on target - but no cutting edge.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

Everton has scored 29 on an XG around 50 this season. I’m not sure I can remember a team statistically worse at finishing.

The Neal Maupay Effect.

I remembered he’s out on loan after making this joke, but I am now playing it like he leave a trail of xG underperformance in his wake.

 

[67YAZ]

What a clever finish by Mateta. So well done with no room to maneuver. Bad give away by Luton, tho.

Solanke slips on a spot kick and misses a penalty
iykyk

 

[67YAZ]

Don’t even know how Kaminski made that save

 

[67YAZ]

Oh Eze almost with the half field chip, skimmed the top of the crossbar.

A friend is at his first ever EPL game today at Selhurst. He's with his two sons and a friend of his. I think they've had a pretty fun one to be at.

 

[67YAZ]

Lutooooon at the death!

 

[ifmanis5]

Luton OMG

And a gut punch at the end. Sorry.

My man, I like you very much, you seem like a good dude, but I low key feel like you did me dirty by pulling me into the Eagles Nest

 

[canderson]

Luton!!!

 

[candylandriots]

My friend's message to me at the end of the game: "Soooo rooting for palace is like rooting for the Jets. Got it"

Pretty much.

Hahahaha see above ^^^


The truth is though, unless you support one of a small handful of teams, you're going to be miserable 95% of the time. I think I used up my one shot last season for Union Berlin and I'm gonna pay for it now for decades.

But keep in mind where we found each other....

more White Rice this weekend!

Mike Dean questions referee Sunny Singh Gill signing half-time autographs - The Athletic

Mike Dean is just jealous it took him 300 matches before anyone wanted his autograph

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Just a reminder - DST starts tomorrow morning but British Summer Time isn’t for another couple of weeks - adjust your viewing habits appropriately. So the LFC/City game is at 3:45 GMT

Surely Tottenham fans wanted a signature from their number one supporter?

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Villa/Spurs has been a bit of a disappointment from an entertainment point of view. Very cagey so far with lots of turnovers presenting lots of opportunities but nothing in the way of results. Villa look to have had the better of these so far.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

And Spurs take the lead via a sublime cross from Sarr to Maddison

and as I type it’s 2

 

[DJnVa]

A 3 on 1 isn’t something you see often.

VDV out with a knock.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Villa down to 10 after a straight red on McGinn

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Ouch

 

[scott bankheadcase]

Timo maybe finding a finishing touch again… 2 in 2.

 

[67YAZ]

Salah to the bench, but Szobo starts.

Konate out. VVD & Quansah will do their Batman & Boy Wonder routine.

 

[67YAZ]

City on the front foot.

With Konate & VVD, Liverpool have 2 CB

 

[Pesky Pole]

Didn’t Endo get called for blocking from an offside position? I know the receiving player can’t be offsides so it could only be Ake blocking. Honest question.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

If anything Mac Allister was pulling Ake away, even if it was possible for Ake to have been in an offside position wouldn't have mattered IMO

 

[teddykgb]

For those interested in the tactical side John Stones’ positioning is fucking wild. He has been stepping j to midfield for City for a while but usually with Dias as a Cb partner. Today he’s nominally the CCB and has less cover so he’s often the deepest defender but he and Rodri are trading off the position until established in possession

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Was gonna say -- this feels like a 3ATB without any wingbacks for Pep, has been really effective in possession but still looks like there are some defensive kinks to work out (Bradley could easily have a goal and an assist at this point). Have to imagine Klopp has been taking notes given the way he's used Gomez the past month

 

[SocrManiac]

Ederson proving again why he’s a liability.

 

[teddykgb]

Ederson proving again why he’s a liability.

Maybe he should try to work him wide but it’s quite obviously on Ake not Ederson

 

[Pesky Pole]

Ederson proving again why he’s a liability.

What a wild swing at the ball. Crazy decision.

 

[SocrManiac]

Maybe he should try to work him wide but it’s quite obviously on Ake not Ederson

Ake put him in a shit position, he obliged by using no brain cells.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Ortega time it appears?

 

[SocrManiac]

City just improved.

 

[Pesky Pole]

How does Silva not get a yellow there?

 

[teddykgb]

City just improved.

Ortega is not a bad keeper but he’s not as good as Ederson playing out and you’ve been pressing really really high. Will really play into your gameplan and this probably finishes like 3-1 Liverpool

 

[PedroSpecialK]

How does Silva not get a yellow there?

His charms bought him another challenge

 

[SocrManiac]

Diaz’s finishing lessons from Darwin are really bearing fruit of late.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Mother FFFfF!!!

x2

 

[CPT Neuron]

Diaz, come on!!!

 

[Pesky Pole]

First one was brutal by Diaz, not sure why the announcers are killing him on the second.

 

[SocrManiac]

A haircut would have gotten KDB 10 more minutes of fitness.
