GWT: PL Matchweek 1

[Jersey Fresh]

Really?
Outplaying the champs and being down because of a tough luck penalty and a set play?

Leeds will stay up easily if they play like this.

"Outplaying"...

This is hardly Liverpool playing at their top level by my estimation, and even so, Leeds looks like they haven't a clue defensively. I don't think there's enough quality in the team to offset that if this is what it's going to be the rest of the season.

I'm not predicting the drop, but the way some people talk about Leeds you'd think they were the globetrotters in the Championship. Most of it is just the Bielsa cult of personality, though.

Was a time when Henderson would shoot that and it would go 30 feet above goal. Hugely improved player.

Leeds have had a couple of near misses or chances just about coming off, but so have Liverpool.

Leeds look like they can score for sure but they also look like they can get lit up on the right occasion as well.

To be fair, I think they mentioned the first team CBs are injured.

 

[YNWA14]

That’s the role of a centerback.

I mean, if we’re just going to say that without context of the play is the goal on Alisson since it’s his role/job to stop the ball?

Oh so it's not Liverpool at their top level, but it's Leeds at their top level.
Yes outplayed because they had more chance.
Their CBs have never played together, it'll take time.
Leeds will give up tons of goals because their nature is to score more and attack 90 minutes.

But given the piss poor quality of the bottom half of the EPL, they should easily get around 9th.

Save of the season?

 

[koyvoo]

What a save. Lol. Meslier’s best work so far.

 

[Live in the Now]

That was a great save.

 

[koyvoo]

Trent nutmegged

 

[Jersey Fresh]

LOL

That's just terrible.

 

[YNWA14]

Gomez with another huge mistake...wait

 

[bluesfan94]

Remember when Van Dijk was good?

 

[Ajacied]

Van Dijk with his nonchalance..

 

[Live in the Now]

I think Alisson has to claim that ball.

 

[Evilo]

Soon to be relegated Leeds ties the game.
Gomez with a piss poor play early, but since VD made an awful play as well, it'll pass.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Last year's Liverpool doesn't make these ridiculous errors. No question we're witnessing a dip here.

 

[Blender]

Leeds up for it today.

 

[Chimaera]

Terrible mistake.

 

[koyvoo]

Virg should be just shepherded the ball to Alisson

 

[bluesfan94]

Gomez with another huge mistake...wait

Yeah both CBs have made mistakes leading to Leeds goals. Not sure why you’re turning it into a gotcha.

 

[Evilo]

Gomez with another huge mistake...wait

Actually yes, to start the play...

 

[Cassano]

Liverpool haven’t looked comfortable defending in ages.

 

[Burner Account]

Yeah let’s get these out of the way now

 

[Jack Straw]

Don’t think this match is going to end 2-2.
