Premier League 19/20

Mirth

Norwich always bend over for Liverpool.

Captain

Nobody expected Norwich to do anything at anfield, did they? 😆

Mirth

Nah but there's always a chance that a newly promoted side makes life difficult and cagey in the first game of the season.

Not that I'd necessarily want to watch that

Claudius

Fuck it. 3-0. The greatest player of all time with the header

Mirth

Ok, I didn't expect much from Norwich but I expected them to keep the score below 3-0 before 30 minutes.

GooneriC

Why don't teams defend like that against us on opening days.

Clrnc

Norwich is pretty hopeless

Claudius

We should ask for the same package when we play them 😆

Captain

Everyone comes up feeling great. Big run out at Anfield - want to show their stuff. It's a world cup final for most of these lads.

Inevitably it turns to tears.

Liverpool aren't just one of the best teams in the country, they're one of the top 3-4 teams in world football.

Clrnc

Firmino took a sure goal away from Origi there. Krul having a good game and its still 4-0.

KingslandBarge

Norwich may not be up the gears or capable, but Pool are really fluid in possession. Getting the ball off them or foiling their lateral progression requires serious coordinated pressure.

Clrnc

They just have tons of bodies in the box when they attack.

Shady

Norwich always pull their pants down for Liverpool. Useless.

Bold Tone

Anfield does pull a lot of pants down, tbh.
Just ask Barca (4-nil) and ourselves (5-1)

Mirth

TAA's defending has got worse over the summer

Bold Tone

All the praise he has got probably raised his complacency levels.
We outplayed them at the Emirates by targeting his flank but in the return leg, he was ready.

Iwobi took little old Trent to the cleaners every time he got the chance to go at him at Anfield.

Klaus

I wonder how bad Alisson's injury is. It didn't look great when he hobbled off.

Nope.
Trent played very well at Anfield much to my disappointment as i had predicted his flank being the weak link.

I disagree. Iwobi had him every time he went at him because the kid is a genuinely awful one-v-one defender.

But if you want to talk about weak link, rewatch the first goal of the game to see proof of precisely that. Maitland-Niles back post after Iwobi danced around you know who with a one-two and put it on a plate. That doesn't scream ready to me. Just because we couldn't defend for toffee doesn't change that fact at least.
