Winner gets Caicedo?
He will respect the outcome of the duel
Just realized Richardson is playing lol
LMAO. What's going on?
E: looked onside in real time.
Been a fun game to watch so far.
Finally Sonny gets charged with something
I really thought they let it go with how long they played on.
Well Robert Jones is the ref so he tends to let shit go out of control
There's the home form Brentford we know.
They are finding too much room down the flanks and unless something changes this will slowly get worse for Spurs.
They absolutely weren't kidding about the cards and stoppage time lmao...
I just feel like it'll get implemented the first few weeks then pffft...
They're forget about it just in time for us to play Newcastle.
The Spuds are really slow, I mean I haven't seen much of Ange ball because usually the Celtic matches are too early for me but is it usually like this or it's just the Spuds?
Son feelings the pressure from Kane's departure.
Mbeumo also feeling Toney's absence.
Spuds not knowing the concussion protocols and accidentally using on of their subs before the 20th minute. Lol
Does it not count as a concussion sub? What's the protocol
Romero could've went to the sideline first to get looked at but they just took him off.
Oh go on Bees...sting those chickens
Spurs going behind in this game, seen it coming from a mile away
Not watching but what is that Liverpool midfield lol, the most defensive midfielder there is AMA...
I have no clue how this team will line up. Maybe Klopp will try some new formations this year since the team is quite different and woth teams moving to a box midfield.
Wonder if it will look like a 2-4-4 in possession and some sort of 4-4-3 in defense
4-4-3? my man Boehly on Lemmy TIL
😅 oops. 4-3-3.
I can't stop laughing with this commentator saying Udogie like Uh-doggy...
Yeah fuck the Spuds..
Chelsea without Havertz, their top scorer from last year.
What do we think? Did Liverpool do enough to not repeat the start of last season or are they one Mac Allister injury away from disaster?
Overall Liverpool have the talent, but lack the depth required to compete although their attack is phenomenal and should be able to carry them through the season.
I'm worried that with their lineup they lose control of the midfield, and therefore the ability to control games properly. Maybe Trent plays the inverted role to help out with this?
