The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Colly]

Nugent for England!

Wonder if Brendan has the balls to drop Gerrard. The games too quick for him now.

[Colly]

Actually chuckling at the Man Utd defending that MOTD is highlighting. And I'm a Newcastle fan.

[Colly]

So who spunked in Lampards hair after the goal? Should really get a booking for that at least.

[Benjamin]

Cambiasso

So Zabaleta's took to Twitter to have a pop at the referee/Diego Costa. Don't know how to embed tweets but he said "I would like to apologise to everyone for my red card today. However after seeing this image I can't believe that Diego Costa remained on the pitch." And then added a screengrab of Costa grabbing him by the throat. Knowing his luck, the poor guy will probably get a longer ban now.

[Colly]

He should. Saw it on MOTD, absolutely pathetic.

[stokeriño]

To be fair to Zabaleta, he had little choice. He knew he was going to get a red so all he could do was try and provoke Costa before he left the field...

Despite how poor and outplayed we were, this ended up being not a bad weekend overall for Liverpool, considering Man U, Tottenham, and Everton all lost too.

That said, those results won't mean a thing unless Rodgers gets his tactics better, and the players to actually show up. Gerrard and Lucas are a terrible combo, we have zero centre backs capable of playing at a Premier League level currently, the new guys are all still blending in, and Mignolet, Gerrard, and Coutinho have all been very poor so far.

I feel like Liverpool have been found out, and it is time to change something with the tactics. While Gerrard never truly worked in the holding role, teams now know how to neutralize him on both ends.

What is interesting is that this is only the second time Liverpool have lost back to back league games under Rodgers.

Liverpool haven't really been tactically the same as last season most of the time. It's been a lot more ponderous most of the time. It will be interesting to see what happens against Everton.

Man Utd - 5 pts from games v Swansea, Sunderland, Burnley, QPR, Leicester.

Leicester - 8 pts from games v Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal, Stoke, Man Utd.

I'd say focus on your own club but considering who that is, it's understandable that you're talking about United.

[Baddar]

Top bants.

Still fucking shocking though.

[peteypirahna]

Nothing wrong with ripping into United, in about 3 years time they'll be mowing down clubs and consistently qualifying for the Champions League so why not mock them now they're shite.

It'd be just as funny if City, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal had a similarly shit start to the league, made funnier after spunking about £150m on players.

Well..to be fair....

Debuchy is out for 3 months.

Ah, you're one of those United fans.

what, all United fans?

[Colly]

Don't talk about us when we're shit!

[Benjamin]

I thought Colly supported Newcastle?

[Nerf]

Newcastle United. He's been so confused and sad this last year or so.
