GWT: PL Matchweek 1

[AB13]

I watched every single Chelsea game, I doubt you have. On what grounds are you claiming Kepa was one of the best goalies in the league last year? He certainly was not, he was average at best statistically and by the eye test.

He sales many shots he should not have. I am basing it on my eye test but you know more about Chelsea so I can concede you being right about Kepa. Agree to disagree, but he is not nearly as bad as you are saying.

 

[AB13]

Imagine judging a player in 45 mins

Havertz is one of the best young players in the world. I am joking very obviously

 

[Live in the Now]

Salah takes the penalties because he rockets them by the way. If he puts it on target they are literally impossible to stop because they'd just go through someone's hand. I can't explain why Milner takes them.

 

[PanniniClaus]

That is true but I just think someone has to stand up for Kepa. He is a great goalie who had a bad run of form. Mendy is not proven at all and definately not highly valued by most clubs so I have a hard time thinking he is better.

I believe the system that would suit Kepa best is one where the opposition do not get any attempts on goal. Bilbao seemed to be decent at shot suppression so maybe he should go back. I don't see any team in the Champions or Europa league, taking him.

 

[Chimaera]

How much is one of the top 4 going to have to pay for Lamptey in a few seasons? Maybe United could combine his abilities putting a ball in with AWB and have a complete package.

Bilbao have a better keeper right now Soo doubt it

Milner does because he’s calm and assured. He was basically automatic for a while. I think it also eliminates any discussion of who does what on the pitch. You don’t have a Pogba situation. Fabinho has a pretty ridiculous record with them in France supposedly (I don’t know the stats).

Keeps playing well and developing like he has, and it will be a lot. Look how much AWB went for, and he doesn't have the ball skills Lamptey does, but is obviously great defensively.

It’s now been over three years since Lallana has completed 90 mins in the Prem

As much as I love the guy, and he was a great servant, he’s never been a 90 minute player in the time in Liverpool, and if Brighton thought that they were on drugs.

Not just in France. 22/23.
Yes, I think Milner is shooting them or at least used to because Salah and Mane fought over one a while back.

Alonso is getting destroyed by a guy ten years younger and a foot shorter and he wonders why we wanted a new LB

Yes they do...I figured they may follow their tradition though and sell him for big money. They run a fine business.

This is embarrassing at this point. They don't even look like they belong in the same league.

 

[Evilo]

This is a bit old, but it's interesting because it just shows what makes Fabinho a special PK taker : he's unpredictable. He just never shoots it the same way.

The really bad part is that the last time he was healthy for a long time he was great. Liverpool wouldn’t have gotten in the Champions League or started this long run without him.

no reason for Lamptey to not keep running at him..Alonso needs someone to double up with him as he can't do it on his own.

 

[Peen]

At this point I'd rather risk Azpilicueta tham watch Alonso play the rest of this game

 

[Blender]

Yikes Lamptey on Alonso again.

 

[AB13]

Brighton have the sexiest jerseys in the Premier League, second year in a row

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Lamptey the "Kante RB" he is everywhere.

 

[Peen]

Yup there's the kepa we know and love

 

[koyvoo]

Beautiful strike. Well deserved equalizer.

Trossard scores from deep. Nice job Kepa, didn't even get close to that one.
