Premier League Games 1/2 Sept '18

Let them get giddy. It makes it ten times funnier when they win fuck all.

Can’t wait for their ‘bust’ period. We get this every season with Liverpool. Their team is very strong, but I can’t see them going the distance. Liverpool rely on their front three. To me, that’s not sustainable for 9 months of a season. We’ve got options all over the park.

Were better but imo Liverpool are our biggest threat this season by some distance.

Is it acceptable to say Liverpool look good with being called a flapper?

No and it also means you are a rag.

Wait until the CL kicks in.

yeah that could put pressure not heir squad...that front 3 never seems to get a rest...maybe an. early exit from the champs league is what we don't need from Liverpool

Bizarre isn’t it!?

I think some are mentally scarred by the CL games,we should have had counselling available,i fear some are being sucked in by the cult

No and it also means you are a rag.

Fair point.

Yes it is

People need to relax, were 4 games into the season

Totally relaxed but aware they have actually got a good team, good manager , media behind them. It's all the ingredients needed. Certainly not going to dismiss them like others are.

I would say our problem at the moment is not defending but an underperforming attack. Kevin is clearly missing and we are not as dangerous without him. Sterling has been the most consistent followed by Aguero with one excellent game against Huddersfield and two wasteful away games. Apart from them the rest have been very off pace and it has been negatively effecting us (by rest I mean Jesus, Mahrez and Sane) in terms of breaking the opposition down.

I don't thin that will be a problem long term however - the defensive issue is generally there just cause of the way we play...its a part of Peps set up but that aint going to change......thats why I think esp at left back in certain games, Delph is the better option

 

[SWP's back]

most teams sat off us last season and didn't attack much but the way we set up makes us naturally vulnerable. Pep is on record saying the way he plays relies on the ability of defenders to defend one vs one....this makes any team vulnerable on the break to pace......liverpool defend deeper and play on the break more (though not totally) and this makes them m roe solid...its just an observation so don't get yourself worked up about an opinion.

I also pointed out we were better in attack

Doesn’t make us any less balanced.
