Well then you have a bad take too  

[DeadLinesman]

I said it straight after the Brentford game. We will end up forfeiting the game next week. It’s a Monday night, people will have had plenty of time to converge and I think it’s a powder keg waiting to explode.

Is that the title gone? 

Yes lol, but that was the case before a ball was kicked this season realistically. Is it realistic that anyone other than City win it this year with that Ogre you've signed to score all of those goals that Sterling and Jesus couldn't finish last year despite having millions of chances? Nah, you're nailed on to win it again.

Well we normally drop 5pts at the start of a season and our depth is very thin this year so a few injury's and we going to be playing the kids who make half our match day bench up

Darwin Nunez has great determination when he plays. So far it seems like it's a way for him to compensate for his lack of technique. @Machado could probably expand on this. Is he the Portuguese Andy Carroll but with worse technique and who's actually Uruguayan?

 

[Chickasaw]

The two worst London clubs take 2 points each from Liverpool in the first two matches of the season. Now you watch Liverpool thrash Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea.

If Man United win next Monday they go above Liverpool.

Mad

Spare a thought for Thiago, who probably had to listen to a long rant from Klopp and then translate it to Nunez.

Because The Bees thrashed Utd 4-0 one would think that The Reds would beat them by more but I don't think it'll turn out that way.

Us at the end of August too.

Could be out the top four by mid September.

You bastards nearly cost us the title last season, Harry Kane thinking he's Haaland

We did redeem ourselves getting a point at Anfield to win it for you 

[CaaC (John)+]

FFS, that means we are going to get a backlash at OT from you Liverpool lot next match, I had us losing 1-4, make that 1-6 now

It probably didn't need much translating when Klopp gets mad, all teeth and glasses

Fantastic work from Andersen, put the work in on Nunez all night. But watch the build up to the red card, Nunez tries to headbutt him before the headbutt that gets him sent off.

In fairness I didn't watch the game and haven't read the thread

The best thing about the red card last night was not having to listen to that commentator pronounce his name "Nee-oo-nee-ez" for the last 30 minutes in an attempt to sound like he could do Portuguese.

Klopp implying that Nunez had a rough night made me laugh. I dont think he had a more difficult time than any other forward in the Premier League. Center backs up and down the country will be laughing at how easy it looks to get under his skin.

[Dave]

From a Palace fans perspective I think most were skeptical about the 5-4-1 formation without Mateta but every player played there role to perfection last night. Eze is looking more like his pre-injury self, Anderson was our best player again, a fantastic finish from Zaha for the goal and Joel Ward never disappoints when called upon.

I was surprised by Liverpool. In the first ten minutes I thought they'd score imminently but once we survived the initial onslaught they played in a manner that suggested to me they thought the win would be a formality. It wasn't until they went down to ten men that they had a rocket put up them and they realised they needed to play like Champions or they'd suffer a defeat.

I dont know if Robertson was injured but the decision to bring on Tsimikas probably cost them a second goal. His crossing was absolutely poor and played in to our time wasting hands on at least four occasions.
