GWT: PL Matchweek 1

[Blender]

I'm surprised no team that plays a 3 at the back with wing-backs haven't come for him. He's amazing in that role.

He'll get scooped up in a year or two. Brighton will probably make some nice profit on that move.

Because Klopp has prioritized Salah's stats

Milner is actually first choice.

Because Klopp has prioritized Salah's stats

Salah is a quality taker, no doubt.
Just Fabinho has missed one penalty (in Dortmund mind you) in 23 tries in his career. 22/23 is absolutely unreal. And he never shoots them the same way either.
Salah seems to be 12/13 which isn't bad either.

 

[Peen]

Mendy is not better than Kepa

Statistically speaking, my left nut was better than Kepa last season

 

[Evilo]

Fabinho did take one early in his career and missed. Since then Milner is 1st (he never missed a PK at LFC) and Salah 2nd (he also never missed at LFC)

Nope, just looked it up. 22 out of 23 and I know which one he missed because it was at BVB in the CL with Monaco. 100% sure.

 

[Evilo]

Mendy is not better than Kepa

You don't know that.

Mendy is not better than Kepa

Uh...what?

 

[bleedblue1223]

Statistically, Mendy is better. It's more about how Mendy can handle the transition to a big club though.

It was pre season. 100% sure, he missed the net

 

[bleedblue1223]

Good save there though.

If Mendy just stops the average number of chances, he will be a huge upgrade.

Found it

 

[Evilo]

Again, I'm not sure how Mendy will fare.
But AB has no idea if Mendy is better anyway, so he shouldn't comment.

 

[Evilo]

Oh, OK preseason, so doesn't matter really.
I checked Milner's stats, he pales in comparison to Salah and Fabinho.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Very excited to have Chilwell in the lineup

Yeah, saying he's definitely worse than Kepa without watching him is silly, as would be Chelsea fans claiming he's the 2nd coming of Cech (which hasn't happened here). Some of the biggest things for keepers is the mental game, and good luck accurately projecting that.

 

[Evilo]

Brighton easily the best team so far. Frustrating for them.

Need to sub Azpilicueta on here for Alonso to stop the bleeding down that left side.

 

[Halladay]

Fabinho did take one early in his career and missed. Since then Milner is 1st (he never missed a PK at LFC) and Salah 2nd (he also never missed at LFC)

Milner missed one against Saints in Klopps first full season. But other than that I believe he has been perfect while at Liverpool.

I'm sure he'd have been starting if he were fit

There is no way he can be worse than Kepa so at least there's that. The guy made Mignolet look class.

 

[Peen]

Lamptey is the best player on the field atm

 

[AB13]

Statistically speaking, my left nut was better than Kepa last season

Kepa is still a good player, very talented. The system made him look worse than he is

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Milner missed one against Saints in Klopps first full season. But other than that I believe he has been perfect while at Liverpool.

Yeah, I don't remember.

 

[Blender]

Oh man, RLC needed to slide that over.
