I think Brighton were a bit unlucky not take away anything.

Another clean sheet :bow:

Top of the table :bow:

Enjoy till it lasts.

Btw either we were terrible or Brighton were well prepared and extremely well organised .

by Jay29 Sat Aug 25, 2018 7:41 pm

Bit of both imo. Liverpool weren't at their best and Brighton defended well. The game was settled by one mistake from Brighton's midfield.

One of my pre-season predictions was that Liverpool would struggle in games like this, in as much that they won't always blow teams away. We'll see if it continues.

2nd half was really dire. Klopp needs to start making those substitutions earlier. That header in 88th minute I'm sure we would concede last season, now I know how MU fans feel when their GK brings them points. Proud

Gini Wijnaldum absolute MOTM today. Unbelievable performance. 99% pass completion according to WhoScored.

Liverpool were garbage today but them clean sheets rack up the points.

by Nishankly Sat Aug 25, 2018 9:26 pm

Milner winning the ball for that goal. This guy is pure class.

Its impossible that a squad will sustain this level of energy in every match.

Look at our bench last year and look now. We've improved by leaps.

It was big games that we struggled in last year so this period is vital.

Not hard to get 99% when there all sideways.

He is playing as a DM, I don't know what do you expect him to do. He is the most press resilient player we have, he can keep the ball under pressure in almost any situation and keep it flowing through the field, that's his job. He had some really good tackles as well, he completed 4/5 tackles today - the most for Liverpool. His problem was inconsistency but this season he was great in all games so far. Only Gini and Milner turned up for full 90 minutes today, the rest of the team were meh especially in 2nd half. Yeah probably Milner deserved MOTM today, but Gini was great too.

We'll find out plenty about their title credentials.

Only game I'm worried about.

Can't wait for our own mule FC to beat Sarriball ffs

by Jay29 Sun Aug 26, 2018 2:57 pm

Watford with two remarkable goals to lead 2-0 vs Palace. Palace have sucked hard, but Watford should have been down to 10 men in the first half.

Else where, Everton's Michael Keane will be out for a month with a hairline skull fracture.

Zaha strikes back :bow:

Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha is good enough to play for Real Madrid, according to three-time European Cup winner Graeme Souness.

by Firenze Sun Aug 26, 2018 3:23 pm

Oh my god, Ward miss.

Hodgson breaking something while Watford's boss making the cross on his body. Two sides of the coin based on luck imo

Watford 9 outta 9 hmm.

by Nishankly Sun Aug 26, 2018 3:25 pm

And I have been saying this 2014, Zaha is world class and going to united under mourinho ruined him.

by Firenze Sun Aug 26, 2018 3:26 pm

Zaha world class ffs

just stop

although we could certainly use a player like him atm

by RealGunner Sun Aug 26, 2018 3:26 pm

Not sure Zaha played under Mourinho?
