Premier League Matchweek 5 16th-18th September

I don't get this arrogant view on Liverpool. Why should Chelsea be a bigger threat than Liverpool? Is it just because Chelsea's last league title is only 1 year old, while Liverpool haven't won since the Soviet Union still existed?

Lurpak, we didn't laugh at you insultingly (or at all, tbf) when you suggested Iceland would beat England, but we are doing now, OK.

We do not like them. I cannot assist you any further than that by way of explanation.

(only joking with a poster as lovely as yourself, but still the truth)
 
Excellent run and use of the left wing. Cutback, goal. Simples.
 
I'd be happy with a draw between these two. They are our competition for fourth spot.
 
Chelsea are winning the 50/50 challenges all over the pitch. I feel like Coutinho needs to sub off for someone else in midfield.
 
People are talking about Matip, but what about Henderson? Caught ball-watching and completely failed to track Matic's run into the box. Awful defensive play
 
I don't rate Kante, I just don't get him.
 
Liverpool are 60 minute champions. Klopp just has no appreciation for a maestro, that controls the pace. Up 2-0 you slow shit down and attack in spurts, not continue to run full speed till you are out of energy. Attack, overwhelm, build 2 goals lead, cruise control. Liverpool has no cruise control.
 
Yet another terrible touch from Kante, he's having a nightmare out there tonight.
 
What has happened to Matic he is god awful. Liverpool are 2 up against the least creative Chelsea side I've ever seen.People think there going to win the league now relax everyone.They don't have a chance of winning the league this year.
i hate that vermin scum more than anyone. I hate them so much. Tbh I do think they might win the league. Pace pace pace. fecking scum of the earth fecking bindippers but they are truly signing the right players

They'll never win the league until they learn to control games. They blow hot and cold from game to game because they play at one place, with only one style.
 
I honestly disagree with you. Like i said; Yes, it's a good shot. Had he not seen it for the first few meters i'd agree, but he sees it all the way. It's from +25meters, and not rocket hard.
I understand i'm apparently alone with this view though.

It is not so much about the strength of the shot but the curve of the shot. It pretty much curves perfectly inwards the goal.

You are right that Courtois sees the shot early and he reacts quickly to it. His jump from the ground is also well timed and the overreach movement is pretty much much textbook keeping. He simply does not reach the ball, which might be used against him if he would have below average arm reach, but Courtois is nearly 2 meter tall, a good deal taller than De Gea or Neuer for example.

The only way a keeper gets a hold of this shot is if he would be taller than Courtois with a reaction speed on the level of Neuer or De Gea. As of now such a Keeper does not exist.
 
I have noticed Liverpool tend to taper off after the 60th minute. All that running and passing.
Takes a lot of energy. Very difficult to maintain for 90 mins i would think.
