2022/2023 Premier League Discussion

Turning down Bayern has more to do with the overpowered board and little say in transfers than it being too "easy"

Keane arguing with Micah Richards is pretty funny, but it seems the comments ppl agree with Keane? Cant help but feel hes a real dinosaur though, he still thinks in todays game a top team can have a striker who does nothing apart from scoring goals Especially vs Man C.

quite a bit to unpack:
he is right- pressing is now the buzz word. everyone cannot just copy the same strategy. there's more to it, than everyone just pressing like they're on steroids

he is wrong- cristiano didnt have many valuable offers. the teams he wanted dont need him, he's old. the ones that want him ala sportin lisbon, can't afford him.

he is wrong about utd disrespecting him, i think the coach wanted him to leave and made plans around his exit. but no offers and he's under contract. which is why he is benched; possibly preparing for life after cristiano.

he isnt saying ure striker should do nothing else, but your striker should not have to press like a madman then tire himself in front of goal. Besides, different teams can have different strategies. the idea that every team in a sport should play the same way to win is bonkers. its like nba, everyone says the 3 is king. and that's whats killing a lot of teams who dont have steph or klay.

there is no set style or set formation that guarantees a win. i dont even think keane is saying utd would have won anyway. he just mad about how city spanked them. he knows cristiano playing wouldnt have made much difference. pool spanked them worse last year, and they dont have haaland

Sorry multi quote function does not want to work.

Martinelli eats Trent each game, it's just the rest of the Arsenal team never rallied alongside him, I would assume this changes now. Liverpool has a do or die against Arsenal basically and I am not convinced about us.

Klopp, I think will move Bayern in 2026, he will take his prime sabbatical in 2024 and leave with the squad (who will also leave) he has built (on average 7 players 30 old+ starting for Liverpool now). Blame Klopp, the Liverpool owners, take your pic, a discussion for another day why Liverpool has never adapted while getting "success".

CBS has the best squad and Kate Abdo drives it insanely. Henry, Carra and Micah? That's seriousness, mixed and banter in a bag of 3 balls you need to pick each time. They have hit the gold mine.

Arsenal going into a LFC fixture as favorites after a long time, good shift of power in the PL tbh. Do or die for us, dropping points in the next two will basically confirm it's a push for 3rd or 4th place at best.

It's already a push for 3rd or 4th at best, no need for confirmation.

Klopp with his usual banter on few occasions, I hope we are not embarrassed by 90 minutes-
The team for today
New
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Henderson, Thiago, Diaz, Salah, Jota, Nunez.
Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Fabinho, Konate, Milner, Firmino, Elliott, Carvalho, Phillips.

That midfield will not survive even the first 30 minutes

end of a cycle

Even after being 1-0 up Arsenal players still shitting their pants against the worst press from Liverpool under Klopp

How is that not a penalty?

shocking defending

the c*nt referee tried his best to let Liverpool get a goal again in stoppage time a la vs Newcastle, but this is the FUCKING EMIRATES STADIUM lads getting hyped!!!

It's called minimum added time if you forgot.

Whats wif Liverpool's subbing Salah/Jota off n on Fabinho/Elliot when they r chasing a goal? Anyway, Klopp definitely trying to change things playing with 4 forwards in this game, but clearly things still not working out atm... has Van Dijk really lost something after his injury? He seems always in slow motion was he always like this?

Casemiro so washed, another masterclass from Flo

Masterclass? Your team building and recruitment have been largely crap for a decade and there's no signs of that suddenly changing. Which club would you approach first if you wanted to demand a premium for a player that's entering retirement age?

What’s this got to do with Flo? After all, you claimed ManU was pillaging RMad!

lmao Firenze with an insane bait

GL Jinx needs to be added to the dictionary

seems like another season of rebuilding!
Hopefully Klopp stays for the next season also. Seems like last season challenging on 4 fronts took the life away from this team.

And as expected at the start of the season, with world cup this year, there was no way Klopps team would have survived the whole season. So Klopps needs to find the right balance as he did on so many occasions in his years so far at the club.

As far as I am concerned, that is going to count as a Madrid goal.
