Newcastle Women took their first league defeat of the season. That's how you know my Sunday was slow.

This game should be fairly open in the middle as neither team really have a capable defensive midfielder playing. 4231 with Christie in the midfield 2 is certainly bold
This bloke at left back for Bournemouth is definitely gonna chuck a goal or two in
Fucking lol at that not even being a foul.
Peak Nunez on show.
Very scrappy that. Feels like it'll be a late 1-0 win either way.
Just need to move the ball a bit quicker. Elliott needs to stop this trend of looking good from the bench but not when he starts.
Surprised the donkey finished that.
Keep looking at his goal count and ignoring everything else he does.
He doesn’t create the chaos because he’s good lol
Yeah all of those assists are just accidents.
The worst stat in football, really. You’re given an assist for passing to someone lacing it in from 30 yards.
The problem is Nunez isn't good enough, we need a Alvarez/Jesus/Solanke/Richarlison/Hojlund/Jackson/Ings.
We're so fucking good
I agree with Waff. I'm more interested in a players xA.
Certainly a better indicator brother.
Some of Liverpool’s substitutions must piss off fans of other teams. So much class, and “strength in depth.” Subbing on players who would walk into the starting eleven of most other teams in the league.
City have been doing it for years, I suppose.
I'm a twit
Assists a shit barometer for a player indeed.Originally Posted by Waffdon
Another Bournemouth fan "WAYYYY" followed immediately by a goal.
Chucking on absolute shite gammon prospects with no physique, we're trolling the league.

He’s actually creative though. Nunez isn’t so using assists to make up for him missing more chances than anyone in the league doesn’t sit right
How’ve you pulled that quote out? You’re as bad as Lewis.
I'm a twit
I'll defend my boy at all costs!
Speaking of my boy.
The tears are what we live for. Fucking idiots
I did get a chuckle out of that.
What about pre-assists? He did get at least a couple yesterday for both of Jota's goals.
Just watched the highlights of the Real Madrid-Almeria game. VAR no shame in fixing the game in Real's favour. A good four questionable decisions.
I think as ever with Nunez the answer is somewhere in the middle. His numbers compared to a lot of other forward players actually look pretty decent so far this season and if he ended the year with 15/20 goals and roughly the same number of assists you'd be thinking he's not done too bad.
But, realistically with the chances he has missed he should have at least 15 goals already this season and looking at a couple of the games where he has missed big chances that could have turned draws into wins and almost put us out of reach at the top of the table.
VAR has fully jumped into make up the result you want territory.
That penalty Sheffield United got yesterday was absolutely absurd and as much as I like the ruling on the field stands I'm not really sure how you don't give that one where the Bournemouth player just tripped whoever it was for Liverpool, Jota?
Then you get Calvert-Lewin's red card situation, and someone going studs up into the low shin/high ankle at force and no one bats an eyelid.
"All we want is consistency". Isn't that literally VAR's raison d'etre?
This Ivan Toney one where he shifts the ball into a better spot, ignoring the ref's magic pocket jizz. He's claiming you can move it a yard or so...that's not true is it?
Now we're talking
There is no consistency in refereeing because it's all subjective and based on the humans on that day. It always will be unless they release AI to take over. Var just amplifies it further.
Consistently bad is consistency, no?
All we ask for is consistency.
Actually, all we ask for is a solution to the yawning chasm in our mortal souls that can only be filled if our favourite team is awarded a penalty kick against Everton in round 21 of the Premier League season. But for that we need consistency.
I’m at the Chelsea-Villa game on Friday. Absolutely buzzing to witness Disasi and Colwill at full back with Chilwell at left wing. My god.
Nothing sums up football better than that 14 seconds of action. A completely needless fight which both parties were keen to escalate at every opportunity.
I'm off to the Amex tonight and, other than to make it a massive ballache for me to get there on time and certainly deny me any sort of pre-match refreshment, is there any reason it is a 7.45 kick-off when pretty much every other Monday Night Football in the history of football has been an 8pm kick-off?
Do Brighton have a lot of commuter fans? Probably allows them to get on the last trains easier.
No one using the train is getting away from Brighton in anything like a timely manner, and I would imagine the mainline train to London would run pretty late.
Whilst trying to find an answer I came across the fact that Wolves will be wearing their all red away kit, black and gold being obviously too much of a clash with blue and white, and last year 5 Wolves fans were ejected from Molineux for homophobic gestures, 2 leading to criminal convictions.
That said, the trains were absolutely ballbagged yesterday so that could have something to do with it if that's still the case.
Odd kick off times are almost always at request of the police or TV if it's not a traditional thing for Brighton. But I can't foresee a situation where Sky would demand a 7.45pm over 8pm for such a massive game.
Alas the AI is built by humans, who are unreliable dickheadsNow we're talking

Even perfect AI would fall victim to INCONSISTENCIES. There's too many grey areas and there are plenty of potentially correct decisions that split opinion.
Every game atm seems to have at least one glaring error.
I find it more entertaining how anyone gives that much of a toss to debate every decision for days and weeks on fucking end. Fair play to the stamina.
3-4 weeks from now for Salah. Egypt doctors useless. I feel like I'll accept responsibility for this one after recently praising his injury record.
They’ll get him on the inhalers and back on the pitch in two weeks once his plane lands in Speke.
I'm quite surprised he isn't staying there as a glorified cheerleader. He can't exactly play for us so surely he'd be better off there as he is their captain.
Wolves not being in gold here should see them lose by default.
Only plus point for yesterday is that they somehow, miraculously managed to schedule the game between two named storms.
Football is becoming increasingly broken. Brighton incessantly recycling the ball back to Steele from attacking positions, only for him to sit with his foot on it to draw Wolves forward, usually from their own half so they could fanny around with it at the back to try and break out with their zero pace attack was just painful to watch. The death of the number 10 and of long ranged shooting, or, in Brighton's case, any sort of shooting, are sad things for the spectator experience.
