GWT: PL Matchweek 1

[Evilo]

Not many teams will benefit from 2 pens and a wonder goal to beat Leeds. Many have worst defenses than Pool as well.

Nice first game for Leeds, and GG Pool to manage the 3 points.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

We need reinforcement!!
Christ sake LFC do something!

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Bail out

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Hoping now for a 5-5 classic between Hammers and Newcastle

 

[Savant]

Leeds are going to get some scalps this season. Right team won though.

 

[Blender]

Both were obvious.

I didn't say they weren't.

 

[Machinehead]

This is, uh, not what I expected tbh

 

[Chimaera]

It is what it is, but 3 points on the board is all it will look like in January. Lot to work on, but considering the nature of the start of this season, I’ll take it

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Salah for player of the week. What a game from him.

 

[Live in the Now]

If Salah plays like that all season, we’ll have a very strong year.

 

[Peen]

This is, uh, not what I expected tbh

Definitely accurate.

Selfishly, Meslier had a great game, despite his 4 goals against.
Lorient once turned down 10M€ from Monaco for him.

He was great. Didn’t get a lot of help, though some blown chances might have flattered a bit. One or two Liverpool chances should’ve been finished. Firmino and Gini both had good chances that should’ve cause a stop at least

 

[YNWA14]

Two of their goals were incredibly well taken and the other was an absolute gift that would very rarely happen. It makes sense.

 

[Machinehead]

Definitely accurate.

Figured we outplayed them but didn't think it was by that much.

That's probably just the stress talking. Never eye-test your own team, I always say.

Have to chalk that up to fantastic finishing, I suppose. Alisson could have been a bit sharper but it's not like any of them hit him in the chest and went in.

 

[Savant]

For sure. Don’t think he could have done anything about the ones that went in. Made some good saves too.

 

[Machinehead]

Two pens but I felt Mo deserved his bounty. He was impressive.

I don’t think Alisson has been great since restart. XG doesn’t really reward those defensive errors that they feasted on. Leeds will beat some teams this year though. Pep isn’t going to fancy a game like that.

 

[Chimaera]

To be fair, if Leeds or any other team not in the top 4-5 want to come to Anfield and trade chances all match, it should end in Liverpool’s favor and potentially, a more lopsided score line.

 

[bluesfan94]

On twitter, people are saying the ball hit Koch’s leg first. I’d have to see a replay, but if so, that shouldn’t be a pen.

 

[Adonis Creed]

Fabinho clearly dove right into it.

You need glasses.

Especially considering every time somebody parks the bus against City it's 4-0 about 20 minutes in.

I mean, I get it, but how many times does it have to not work?

 

[les Habs]

Interesting the CBs who get free passes on this board.

Interesting the CBs who get free passes on this board.

Which CB got a free pass? I’ve seen messages disparaging Koch, VvD, and Gomez. I guess no one really mentioned the arsenal or Fulham CBs.
