Premier Lg EPL Matchday 18, 19 & 20 - On Optus Sport

Injury crisis at desperate levels with us having to bring Reguilon on

Reguillon and Werner on the left.

Can't really sack a manager for having to put up with that.

Their first touch is like a 5 year old playing FIFA for the first time

 

[jod23]

Absolutely smacked West Ham.

Mo Salah is clear right as the best footballer on the planet.

I watched the 2nd half of the Spurs game. Yep, Werner is still shit.

What did Chelsea do to Werner haha.


Though I must admit them taking a bullet did us a huge favor. Jota's been a big success albeit injured far too much.

 

[Cruyff14]

Hard to see Liverpool being caught from here. They are outrageous.

 

[largebus]

No way he's said this

Bradesmaen Isn't he's still on your books?

 

[RPCB]

Bradesmaen Isn't he's still on your books?

He is, but the loan comes with an obligation to buy clause, if certain conditions are met. Those conditions are probably so easy that even a shit footballer like Maupay can meet them, so he would know he’s not going back to Everton.

 

[Cruyff14]

Also, lots of reports Trent is off to Madrid. Big hole for Liverpool to fill.

Hard to see Liverpool being caught from here. They are outrageous.

Usually when teams win the league, its because they have a few players having "all time seasons", or they have injury luck while other teams don't, or other teams suffer a form drop off to key players, and usually involves a smart purchase or two in the transfer market or usually a combination of those things.
Pool have flopped in the transfer market, bringing in Chiesa who has been injured the whole time, which usually cripples a teams title aspirations, but have had so much luck with VVD and Salah having elite seasons, especially Salah, injury luck while their two biggest competitors from last year have been smashed by injuries, Pool haven't really had form drop offs where City and Arsenal have.

You really couldn't ask for a better season if you were a Pool fan and I highly doubt they get this sort of luck next year.

He did put a couple of decent balls in. No one gambled on getting to them probably because no one thought it could happen

And yet most of the real trouble was coming from the other side. Porro gambles way too often on pushing up

His celebration when he scored was interesting.

Injury luck? Konate has missed huge chunks of the season, so has Alisson and Jota, we brought in Chiesa who has barely played. Bradley has been out. We've had our fair share of injuries. We have just handled them a lot better than other teams.

We lost Odegaard for three months, the equivalent would be losing Salah.

When you lose VVD or Salah then those are injuries on par with City losing Rodri and their back 4 every other month, or Arsenal losing Saka and Odegaard.

Alisson isn't as important to Liverpool as Salah and VVD.

 

[jod23]

We lost Odegaard for three months, the equivalent would be losing Salah.

Yep you've had a few injuries, just like we have, but as I said, we have handled them better than you guys have.

Plus we're just better too.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Huge amount of injuries. HUGE!

Classic Jod doing his best Trump.

Liverpool First XI injuries:
Alisson (9 games)
Konate (7 games)
Alexander-Arnold (1 game)
Jota (7 games).

Then you've had injuries to bench players in Tsimikas (4 games), Elliott (8 games), Jones (2 games), Nunez (1 game) and Kelleher (1 game), Bradley (season)

But you know, cry some more wolf. Ever wondered why people say you're incredibly biased?

Love him or hate him, no one riles 'em up like Jod

Not all heroes wear capes.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Love him or hate him, no one riles 'em up like Jod

If only he was actuallying riling people up, but he genuinely believes what he says.

 

[jod23]

Speaking of riling people up, I've been seeing a lot of Salah vs Henry on Youtube and the internet as Salah is about to pass Henry in goals scored in the PL. Keep in mind Mo has already passed him on the assists charts.

It's an interesting debate. I think a lot depends on the rest of this season and what happens.

Think if Liverpool win the PL and Mo sweeps a bunch of awards, he goes past him. If Mo falls in a hole and Liverpool fall away then the argument falls apart.

It's an interesting one though for sure.

 

[RossFC]

Your set piece coach is the equivalent to Salah. Make sure he doesn’t end up at Barca mid season or something.

He's played more games. Didn't you ever learn to check your stats before you throw them out willy nilly?

 

[Loonerty]

A single atom from Jorgensen's boot must've touched Delap's leg

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

We've started like arse, but that is not a pen. Jorgensen doesn't touch him.
