Premier League 2018/19

[Devils]

Both sides are shit in midfield and attack.

 

[Cule For Life]

Klopp double teams City wingers with his fullback + a midfielder, while Pep keeps his midfield were it is and leaves his fullback close back due to the front trio of Pool who stay forward and barely track back. This is a old school boxing match however makes a mistake will usually be the team on the losing end. Due to this City wingers and midfield can't do much.

 

[Devils]

Watching this Liverpool attack, who are way off form, reminds me of post 2015 MSN.

This is more like one of those big boxing games where nothing happens and someone maybe nicks a split decision from the refs in a fight no one will remember in a few years.

 

[El Gato]

Bit silly to expect fireworks given City has been slow, but solid all season and Liverpool hasn't won a game for 2 weeks.

Still it's way subpar for a no1 vs no2 match in what many call the most entertaining league in Europe. El Clasico is miles better in terms of everything.

So what? Why automatically throw this up to the rank of some dumb argument of a clash for the ages? Is every Clasico one of those? No it's not. It's an autumn leaders' clash where result matters, even if it doesn't come after 90 minutes of riveting action. Loads of United vs Arsenal and Chelsea looked like this in 2000s. But here we are discussing some meaningless point that it happens to not be SuperBowl quality...

Good game so far considering the context and form of both teams.

Not comparing with the best clasicos. Even an average Barca Madrid is considerably higher in level than this game.

Great. Feel better now that you flaunted Clasico superiority for no apparent reason?

 

[utility73]

I for one am enjoying this match. Both teams tactically very disciplined.

Boring.

I think Valencia vs Barca will be much more entertaining.

Oh just shut up, you have to say something about every single comment you don't like. Just get over those you find irrelevant.

Good game in this half espesh. Liverpool nearly got at City early on. Now VVD handball, which would be a bit harsh to call. Reminds of the Rojo(?) vs Nigeria thing.

 

[El Gato]

VVD Ramosed this. Dude was going nowhere. Why foul?

Never mind, Mahrez with a lovely little choke.

 

[serghei]

Lol, these guys can't even threaten the goal from a penalty. Betis - Sevilla was a better football game than this.
