The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

Calm down

[stokeriño]

Super game. Was crying out for a Shelvey winner...

[Colly]

Cracking game. Sky will be loving it.

Aspas was awful and Liverpool's poor second halves continue. Rode it out again, but it would've been better if Liverpool could've kept Swansea out.

Probably deserved to be a draw over all.

[Szumi]

Yeah, Rodgers is just too negative in the second half. I am all for protecting a lead, but you can't just keep putting everyone behind the ball like your Stoke. Even when they had that throw in in stoppage time right at the corner, they worked the ball straight back to Mignolet immediately. Take your chance there.

[Colly]

Don't cry Jonjo! You were alright barring daftness.

[stokeriño]

Is he actually about to cry or does he always sound like that?

Apparently the former...bless him.

[Hobo]

Jonjo Shelvey's interview after this game is like hearing a sad little boy talk after getting in trouble.

[stokeriño]

Studge the MOTM? Fuck off.

Not when a draw sees us go top with a run of piss easy games until November. Not worth the risk when Swansea looked so deadly. But yeah, I'm worried about our second half performances. Sakho was glorious but also scares the shit out of me. Made a few sloppy mistakes but that's to be expected being thrown in the deep end at a new club.

[stokeriño]

Maybe Liverpool will inherit Chelsea's November implosion?

I do think Rodgers made good changes, which is something he hasn't always done. Moses needed off and so did Wisdom, although Sterling was poor.

Obviously, the exception may be the first one. Though Aspas came on because of an injury and I don't see Aspas playing much once Suarez is back so long and Coutinho is fit.

The problem with Aspas is that he's glorious as a lone striker but dog shit everywhere else, but there's no way he's displacing Sturridge unless it's through injury.

Massive upgrade on Borini either way.

[Khain]

Awful second half, our game was not the same after Coutinho went out, and we couldn't get more than three passes in a row. Let's hope Little Phil is alright

[Colly]

Studge the MOTM? Fuck off.

No one else particularly stood out bar Shelvo. Mignolet maybe?

[Nerf]

If anyone from Liverpool were to get it, Skrtel was by far our best player again. I'd probably give it to Shelvey all things considered. Ignoring the mistakes, he was Swansea's best player.

[MJB]

Wonder what sort of odds I could get on the current top six finishing upside down.

1. Chelsea, 2. Man Utd, 3. Man City, 4. Spurs, 5. Arsenal, 6. Liverpool.

Fair point, Skrtel had a cracker.

Ca-pooey is my favourite football name pronunciation ever.
