GWT: 2021-22 PL Matchweek 1

[Chimaera]

Ole ole ole was rocking.

VVD barely got out of second gear. Trent really has put in some work.

 

[Chimaera]

One other thing that has been missed, Liverpool are so much more threatening on set pieces with VVD

 

[King Makar19]

Relegation favorites are.

Burnley. Palace. Norwich. Soton


Top 4 will be jammy. Leicester might surprise a bit. Love the squad they have. Strong midfielders

 

[Savant]

Very impressed by the performance today. Especially after Fabinho came on. Great to keep the clean sheet. LFC look ready to go.

 

[luiginb]

MOTM performance from Jorginho, he was truly all over the pitch and magnificent throughout.

Man it's so nice to have club football back

Alonso was better

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Facing City on the first matchday is such a moodkiller.

 

[Machinehead]

I can already see the difference Virgil makes on offense, so those of you who were really pushing that were absolutely right.

First of all, he created the first goal by bodying a dude and sending it right the other way. That one was obvious.

More subtly, Norwich had a counter multiple times today where their outlet couldn't beat Virgil one-on-one. Last year, those would ether be chances against, or we'd be forced to keep reinforcements back. Our fullbacks played completely freely today.

Surprised that Richarlison started for Everton and played almost the full match. The guy has played in both the Copa and Olympics all the way through the final. He does look fit, but even so needs a rest somewhere along the season.

 

[Savant]

Alonso was better

Alonso really had that killers instinct today

 

[les Habs]

Pogba’s first and last assists were excellent and Fernandes was a great signing. United should offload as much deadwood as they can and make a massive bid for Haaland.

 

[les Habs]

Forgot to mention Vardy’s goal. Excellent finish.

 

[Power Man]

this is pretty good

And they have a special guest in the audience lol

They don’t need to offload any deadwood to do that. And yes they will sign him next summer

Nope. He will replace Mbappe and get paid 1m a week

 

[The Abusement Park]

Lindelofs assist was the best of the bunch imo.

Also that seems to be the plan. Next year we are supposedly investing heavily at the ST position. So I’m assuming a big push will be made for Haaland.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Plenty of Spurs journos don't believe that Kane will start today.

 

[Savant]

Nope. He will replace Mbappe and get paid 1m a week

My theory is United keep OGS long enough to sign Haaland and then thats when they get rid of him unless he wins the PL or UCL

Hello, Newcastle!

Brilliant setup.....very nice

Rice for 75 or White for 50...

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Lots of pretty football so far

Every time I watch Jonjo Shelvey play I wonder why the English national team doesn't use him at all. He's one of the most creative midfielders England has.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Who would've thought Newcastle vs West Ham would be one of the most exciting games of the weekend?

That first set up was so nice. I was thinking, "Stop playing with it and do some.......oh damn.........."

 

[gary69]

The good thing about the matches so far has been that VAR hasn't taken a center stage in them. Hopefully they keep using VAR like this for rest of the season.
