People just want to moan. Teams with a 100% win record = league is shit. Teams at the top don't win every game 3-0 = They're shit.Originally Posted by niko_cee
Waff is the outlier here because the reason he thinks it's shit is that Chelsea aren't involved/are shit.
Jinx.
Great assist.
You can give a free kick for dissent, but it was a bit weird to do it when he did.
Another goal scored from their own goal line, the game has gone through the looking glass.
Luis Diaz with two ridiculous passes.
Isak
That may have something to do with us having the greatest long passer in the modern game.
There you see the difference between a centre forward capable at this level, and Darwin Nunez.
It doesn't really say anything about the outright quality of the league as a whole one way or the other does it? Though I suppose if you accept that the lower end of the table remains relatively consistently crap, a higher points total does mean a more outright excellent team at the top. In the Leicester season it was definitely cus all the usual challengers were rubbish, rather than the likes of west brom, Swansea etc being better than the equivalent mid-table sides other seasons.
Everything now has to be the best ever or worst ever, usually decided in a few minutes. Every time Liverpool aren't 3-0 up after 25 minutes here you'd think they were battling relegation. I haven't checked the score but I'd be very surprised if they aren't winning.
Who comes into his own when you stand on your own goal line and attract pressers away from the space he's going to pass into. The fun will come when somebody decides to stop pressing, and we revert into another exciting Rafa the Gaffer / 4-5-Jose thrill-seeking era.
Lol at how fucking rubbish Salah was in the first half and how he looks world class again now.
Szobo looks injured but I dont agree with the other changes.
Nunez finally off. Hope he breaks both legs getting on the team bus later.
I'm a twit
Joelinton is playing a different sport.
The fuck did Dubravka have for tea?
That's how you beat a superkeeper. Exquisite move.
If Jota spent his gaming time at the gym he'd be better than Mbappe. Absolutely filthy football brain.
Salah peaking just in time for AFCON.
Done well to concede two goals tonight I have to say. Especially considering we have absolutely fucking battered them all game.
WTF Jota
I'm a twit
Why does Jota even go down
Just put it in the net for fucks sake.
VAR and Taylor are abysmal. A horrible combination
A truly hilarious dive.
I fully expected he was booking Jota for it. Taylor hasn't had a clue all night.
I'll have to see it again, but I actually think it was a pen. Felt like the contact came later than you initially think it does, and he doesn't actually take a load of steps afterwards. Might be my eyes deceiving me tho.
How on earth have VAR not overturned that one?
If you think there's no contact there, you shouldn't be watching the sport.
The Gomez one there sums him up. Utterly useless.
Enough for a penalty??
Just put the ball in the fucking net.
Yet another red card Bruno manages to avoid somehow.
Selfish Salah returning there a bit. Should have squared it.
He's also suffering from longer hair making you look balder syndrome.
Highest xG ever?
Newcastle such a dirty, shitty side. Don't accept any invitations to the embassy Eddie.
If you feel contact you go down, if you try and stay up you're putting yourself at a disadvantage for what, so that gammons can praise your heart? Geezer's elbowed his foot.
Mac's pass for it toowelcome back, son.
Nunez haters can do one, of course his finishing needs to improve but he creates so much.
Fun season.
If he stayed up it's an open goal.If you feel contact you go down, if you try and stay up you're putting yourself at a disadvantage for what, so that gammons can praise your heart? Geezer's elbowed his foot.
Mac's pass for it too
Not a clue where our next win comes from. The mackems on Saturday might end Howe right there.
It's an odd one.
I guess he's just such a pro that it overrides the rational part of his brain.
Eddie Howe beating the drum for their 'penalty' quite funny though. Clue should generally be when there's absolutely no appeal from the apparently wronged player.
Taylor has always been a dreadful ref.
Just seen this. 6.67 on understat and Opta reporting 7.27, fuck me.Highest xG ever?
Newcastle such a dirty, shitty side. Don't accept any invitations to the embassy Eddie.
Only defeat thanks to a ridiculous own goal and red card, a load of other ridiculous red cards, City still to come to Anfield, key absences overcome, my girthy member as hard as ever, Israel in tears, what scenes.
Just watched the highlights - I could have been selective editing but Newcastle just fouled, fouled and fouled and seem to get away with about 5 bookings.
There's a reason we've got about 4 players close to 2 match bans.
As for the penalties, the first one was fine, second was bloody useless. Stay on your feet and get the job done. I loved Salah's ball for Gakpo's goal, though. Dead simple but curved balls round defenders always bring a smile from me.
I see 'WAZZA' has gone. The glory of Birmingham binning off a perfectly good manager for a 'big name' for the second time and getting burned in exactly the same way is just beautiful.
Shame, I was hoping to see how far their winning mentality hire was going to take them.
They richly, richly deserve to get relegated to League One but I don't think it's ever going to happen, they've been clinging on since I was a student.
Squires on top form.
These random kick off times are messing with my brain. Why is this on at 7.30? I thought that was an Amazon week thing? And then there's the Wolves game on the 22nd which has sprung out of nowhere [pretty sure it wasn't scheduled for then as I'm now going to it due to a season ticket holder being away], and that's a Monday night at 7.45, I think on BT, all of which are unheard of things.
Also, Brighton's suicidal drop ball goalkick routine isn't going to end well with Webster back there.
Just roll it in the corner Joao.
Their Football Daily column has been quite good as well the past few days.
