Premier League Matchday 1

[JeffreyLFC]

Paqueta is tailor made for the premier league. He would be immense for any premier league side including LFC and Man City.

 

[bluesfan94]

I think they have enough attack, they need a real CM. They spent almost the whole half defending because they couldn't control the ball.

Yep. We need a real 6/8

 

[Evilo]

Bruno is made for any league. I told you guys he was world class, but you know he wasn't "EPL proven".

FWIW Bruno said that Paqueta would like to play at Newcastle.

 

[phisherman]

Paqueta can play alongside Partey

also could slide to the wing or CAM, he would give the team so much more depth and quality

They need another DM. I think Vieira will fill in the role you described. Also they might actually make a move for Tielemens.

FWIW Bruno said that Paqueta would like to play at Newcastle.

Last I read he rejected them and Arsenal because City has now shown interest.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

FWIW Bruno said that Paqueta would like to play at Newcastle.

French sources said he had rejected advances from both Arsenal and Newcastle.

Welp. City it will be then

 

[Evilo]

I seriously would not advise Tielemans to Arsenal. He's exactly what they don't need : a guy with fewer character than an oyster, talented but only performs when he decides.

 

[AB13]

Really poor performance and nothing that encourages me going forward performance wise. Exactly the same problems as before. Saliba was world class though, not that I was surprised.

 

[Savant]

You see why I'm not too mad about Turner going there? He noticeably doesn't do that and eventually the manager will notice.

Not in time for the world cup

 

[Evilo]

Saliba was given the MOTM award, but I would have given it to Ramsdale.
Saliba was just good this game, solid defensively and you could see he played with the brakes on to avoid making mistakes.
That's only a very partial view of his talents.

The first 20min were great. Just got to maintain the consistency.

 

[Savant]

Weird to see Will Hughes here. I remember Liverpool chased him for three whole years, didn't sign him and then his career goes nowhere.

Ah the Rodgers years

I think it should have been Saliba

 

[AB13]

The first 20min were great. Just got to maintain the consistency.

Just got to keep pressing with a lead, keep aggression and avoid being cowards. Simple as that.

 

[Savant]

As a reminder

 

[VEGASKING]

Zinchenko plays CM for Ukraine. He should see a lot of minutes there the times Tierney is fit.

Didn't catch the game but the poor starts have put them so far behind the last few years it's nice to pick up 3 points early. Got a lot of winnable games in August and September before a tough run in with Spurs, Liverpool and City in a 4 match span to start October. Some early confidence should make a huge difference.

what about zinchenko? assist and annihilated ayew

 

[Savant]

He was good too

 

[Brunkmeister]

So White got some critics i see. Eight interceptions last night. Most by an Arsenalplayer since 16/17.

Shows how meaningless some stats are. He was shit.

Nope it clearly suits how you watched the game. Or that you didnt

 

[Evilo]

Most defensemen annihilate Ayew...

Ok whatever floats your boat. Zaha is one of the toughest players to defend against but other than the pass to Eze he didn’t bring much to the game.

White definately wasn't great. He stayed close to Zaha but got done a few too many times, and Saliba bailed him out quite a lot. What pissed me off the most though was White uncharacteristically giving the ball away in his own half about 4 times.
