That's a goal. 1-1
Btw, Jackson has quietly emerged as one of the best in the league
Claudius good off the ball movement and his finishing is much better
Claudius he was really dangerous last season but kept missing chances, was always just a matter of time.
Chelsea's defending is garbage. 2-1
Chelsea are still really bad in defence. If we go conservative against them it'll be a mistake.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 Odegaard can barely do that. Let's be realistic about our world class/match winner quota.
Claudius It's tough, as Saka said, our wingers is tasked with a lot of defensive work and when we get the ball to counter we have no more legs to run fast.
Liverpool wingers are just positioned up top in anticipation of a long ball
Clrnc that’s true. But even late on when matches become more unstructured, we should have the option of throwing on a sprinter or two to finish off tired defenders.
Chelsea playing like boys out there. They're scary in spurts but naive across the board. The level between city, Liverpool and us versus the rest is clear.
naz I'm not sure Liverpool will keep it up. Feels a bit like Spurs last season but obviously better. Still think it's between us and City.
Palmers been shite today.
Claudius should but still don't. It's unforgivable honestly. Our stupid recruitment this summer.
Claudius that's why I liked the Openda links in the summer.
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert it really wasn’t as stupid as you make it out to be.
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert the summer was pretty poor tbh. Calafiori was a good get but I'm not convinced about the rest.
Qwiss Slot is pretty smart, I don't see a world of difference in tactics from Klopp, he didn't change it upside down. Still the same counter attacking, maybe less pressing
Qwiss probably true. They're an injury or two away from problems
Clrnc yeah and I don't see a big difference in them overall. They'll pick up injuries and they won't cope in the long run.
I think they are in with as much of a shout as us. Injuries could hamper them but you get lucky runs not unlike us last season but we couldn't make the most of that bit of luck. Anyway Liverpool big game for our own credentials now.
It's really quite incredible
Clrnc Unreal. But apparently it's Arteta and our team's fault this shit is happening.
Clrnc yet some people, even Arsenal fans, even people on here, will say that this is not at all comparable because Gravenberch kicked the ball at a slightly different pace than Rice and didn't delay the freekick in the same angle as Saliba.
