Good refereeing from Michael Oliver. Punishing blatant diving

When pigeons get on the pitch it really shows which zones haven't seen much play :lol:

First goal is the perfect example on why Darwin is a fking idiot with his decision-making and why his stats are what they are : https://dubz.co/v/xsjc1g

Ye looks a beautiful chip for the neutrals but he (very roughly) took a 0.30 xG shot when he could have easily passed it to Jota for like 0.95 xG

If he had the footballing brains of Jota (who is the cleverest forward I can think of in the league) he could easily go above Haaland

His link up play has improved massively from first season and he's keeping Gakpo out but much improvement needed still

Who cares. He stuck it in the net and will feel more confident.
I've always said if you take risks but they work then it's no problem at all.
Take risks that fail regularly and you need to step back and review.
You would be surprised how difficult it is to get that message across to even an amateur team.

Everyone involved should care

He may have stuck it in the damn net but it's a NET LOSS, because he keeps flipping the biased coin the wrong way

"Consistently unlucky" my arse, I can see they are trying to coach this raw part out of him

You succeed or fail at LFC on what you do. He/they will either figure it out or he's history. He is a tantalising talent. LFC usually find a way extract the best from wayward talents. You may be right though that he's outside of that scope. I hope not. We shall see.

Just frustrated with him is all

I have little doubt he will improve, but who knows what happens under the next manager

I do wonder what Vincent Kompany is trying to do at Burnley, you can't send a side out to try and play football against someone like Arsenal as they'll do what there doing now and murder you.

Unfortunately sometimes you have to sacrifice your football principals especially when your 2nd bottom and get stuck into them, win dirty, win by any means possible but Kompany doesn't seem to want to do that at all.

Kompany bit too naive at this point, he suspended for this one though

First goal decent lay overs oppo for a spell there

Naïve is an excellent word, especially to describe that defending for the 5th just now trying to play Havertz offside from a throw :lol:

Not seen the last one but will take your word for it :D

Just waiting for the main event mostly, can't remember a lower fav price in this fixture, hope Chelsea are more competitive than that!

Also heard rumours that Darwin left in a casket but unconfirmed at this point

Baffles me why they would suspend the MO but not the OU markets. There should be one button linked to all markets.
