Luck will run out once the Europa games come thick and fast.
Premier League Gameweek 5
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Its just a myth. Thur-Sun is the same as Wed-Sat.
Yeah thanks toy story puppet for promoting us as an adult disneyland. He might have chose us instead if you hadn't done that
They don't even have 3 brilliant attackers, never mind 5.
Salah is excellent, Diaz is very good and Gakpo is good but that's it.
Nunez and Jota are completely average.
This extra 10 min a match has got to stop
Another season of supporting City. This is becoming a habit now.
What the feck are you smoking?
Salah, Nunez, Jota, Diaz, Gakpo collectively will be right up there with the best set of attackers in any club.
Bayern and City might have better individuals upfront but these options allows Klopp to try many combinations. The competition for places will be crazy. As will the game-changing options off the bench.
Liverpool won't last in the title race with City, but still, it's woeful to see them bouncing back again from a bad season and making these comebacks...
He is rightWhat the feck are you smoking?
We have 1 unproven striker in Hojlund .. and Rashford ..
They have Salah who is almost better than all our players combined..
Add Nunez,Jota,Luiz, gakpo to that lineup .they will score..
Their problem is their midfield and defense
Another deserved come back for them. Gutted but have to say it.
Game posed for 1-1 result. Sa botches a kick out straight to a defender 2-1 and for good measure an OG to make it 3-1. Better to be born lucky as they say.
Nunez is definitely not average. Jota is a bit meh. But we definitely have great options up top.
They had by far tougher schedule than City so far. I wouldn't write them off. Jammy feckers.
Hahahahahahahaha
Difficult to think of a more overrated striker than Mo Salad.
You’re comparing them to us, that posters saying they have the strongest attack in the world. They have Salah who’s world class and Diaz on his day is very good, Jota is decent and Gakpo is bang average. Then you have that donkey Nuñez who is garbage, they’re far from the best attack in the league.
Well if you say so ..
I am not a liverpool fan .. but everybody was raving Rashford last year and saying Salah had a really bad season..
Lookup how many goals he scored vs how many Rashford scored ..
This aged v well
Never thought of this. Is it always Wed-Sat? Can’t it be Wed-Sun? Interested to see the day of the week mapping of European to domestic cup matches.
No because Europa is a Thursday
Salah has scored fewer goals than the average PL striker based on his xG since the start of last season. In strictly finishing criteria, Salah is a below average PL striker.
Rashford has performed above his relative xG in the same period. As such, Rashford is an above average PL striker.

I know that. I’m asking about the CL
For the RW spot, they have the guaranteed starter and one of the best players in the league in Salah who consistently scores, creates and combines brilliantly in the final third.
For remaining 2 positions, they have 4 options with different qualities:
Gakpo who can function as a false 9, has a goal in him and is highly intelligent with respect to linking the game up just like Firmino was.
Diaz is a quick dribbler who excels at creating desirable offensive scenarios out of nothing. Also seems to have the knack of scoring worldies.
Jota can play anywhere across the frontline, is brilliant in the air. He goes through patches of poor form but when he's on it, he gets a lot of goals.
Nunez might have comically poor technique at times in a Lukaku-ish manner, but he's an absolute nightmare to play against. He's physically gifted, has great movement and is strong in the air. He's a ricochet merchant and the chaos he generates leads to chances every game.
How many clubs have so many attacking options with different qualities at such a high level?
This might sound controversial due to the poor season they just had but their attack is their biggest strength and easily one of the best in the world.
You must be a Liverpool fan.
Salah has actually underperformed against xG in the last three seasons. Four in the last five too. System at Liverpool provides him with a lot of chances but below the average PL striker for conversion.

Better than all of them combined is over the top but do you dispute that he isn't better than anyone we currently have?
Genuinely starting to hate football. Just getting annoyed at every match I watch. It's hard because I grew up watching so many games. Time to cut down
Ask anybody in the world .. if they would have the last 4 years of salah or Rashford
Am I just really hungover or does West Ham have a very narrow pitch?
What a sequence for West Ham there. Good keeping and a goal clearance.
That's a lot different from what that poster actually said, surely you don't dispute that?
Yes, better than all of them combined is over the top.
Salah is more than just finishing agreed but describing him as one of the best at this point is misleading.
FFS, Brighton score out of nowhere.
Here we go again. Our defence is as resilient as a chocolate teapot.
Lallana is such a smart player
Villa lead Palace. Diaby. VAR check for offside.
Villa goal disallowed for offside.
West Ham take the lead!
