Premier League Games | 15/16/17/18 August '25

It was an entertaining game last night, despite the deeply disappointing result.
It is very early days. I cannot stand the commentary of Liverpool games, with at least two misplaced passes by Wirtz being described as something entirely different, implying they were successfully completed by a go of the field. Wirtz' movement is extremely high-level and I think those doubting his quality will, ultimately, be disappointed. Early games are no basis for judgement really.

Liverpool, like us, offer loads in attack but will offer some defensive vulnerability. They will probably make a couple more signings and will be there or thereabouts.

The racist abuse of players is intolerable. I think the time has come for punishment by the game, and externally by legal authority and employers. It is a societal problem, emboldened by parasites in our political classes, but that is a discussion for another time and another thread. John Cross' assertion that Liverpool is a club steeped in respect is a little blinkered, as we all know.
 
Its very similar to last season. Though a very very good side, they give up chances yet teams seem to miss a fair few BUT they have goals right throughout the team, from set pieces to individuals that bail them out. Its why i think they will win again but Arsenal closer now they have Saka back and a striker. Its also why i think we are in the top 4 race this season as just not enough goals throughout esp our wingers
 
Liverpool look worse so far.. With Diaz, Trent and Robbo they were a well oiled machine who knew their roles.

A bit dysfunctional so far, but early days. They still have the most lethal quality which can win games on its own.

The biggest problem we have is if there is enough quality in the PL to exploit that weakness? OK we are spending huge amounts of money on transfers in the league but a LOT of that money is on ordinary players who would go for a fraction of that in another league.

I expect a lot of dross again, maybe Arsenal will step up this year who knows?
