The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Kaney]

We should have torn this lot apart. So frustrating after such a good performance against Newcastle to play so poorly. Fucking crap. Least we didn't ship all the points and five goals this time.

Everything was Skrtel today.

More clinical finishing and Liverpool win that.

[Arjen Robben]

Monreal almost looks like a Subbuteo version of Peter Crouch.

Reminds me of the season when Liverpool would have won the league if every shot that had hit the crossbar or post had gone in instead.

This is the season of "if we still had Suarez...".

[Hobo]

Generally, Liverpool played well. They were much better in the first half. Brad Jones is long past needing to be gotten rid of. Skrtel did mental things because that's what he does. Markovic has continued to show improvements. Sakho had a good game. The last three performances were good ones but everything good is in the middle of the pitch. Coutinho, Sterling and Markovic are still really young. Especially the latter.

In a way it's very like the Kenny Dalglish 2nd season which I think is where that "hitting the post" stuff comes from but at least there's still Daniel Sturridge to come back into that team.

I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool got rid of Borini in January now. It was clear Rodgers didn't want him around anymore and he blew his chance big time there by getting sent off by generally being a bit stupid.

[Kaney]

Yeah. If Liverpool hadn't played a keeper in goals Arsenal would have easily won.

[King Ellis]

Yeah. If Liverpool hadn't played a keeper in goals Arsenal would have easily won.

It was Brad Jones, they barely were.

Funny that, was just thinking the same. You were shite.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Shots.

Liverpool 27, Arsenal 5.

On Target.

Liverpool 10, Arsenal 2.

As BBC said, it's the most shots a team have had against Arsenal since OPTA started keeping track in '03.

...and Arsenal's 36% possession is their lowest since '03 records began too.

We both were utter garbage. But before the game I would have expected a much better performance. As I said.

I can only presume that these shots include every time Sterling runs into a dead end on one of the flanks and kicks the ball as hard as he can "sort of in the direction of the goal maybe" (but actually it hits the defender's legs so no one can tell).

[Hobo]

Really, he's just some Australian bloke that hangs around Melwood.

[peteypirahna]

If the stats were switched Liverpool fans would be saying they didn't get a dodgy point, it just showed that they had the most clinical strikers.

[Colly]

Taylor smashing the post looks worse and worse on replay. Standard classy mackems chanting their 'party when Steven Taylor dies' song while he was motionless on the floor with players and physios sprinting across. Barely even human.

[Thrilla]

Having lost faith in Mignolet and Jones, Liverpool have built their own goalkeeper

It is a marked improvement.

[Szumi]

It is indeed an improvement. Brad Jones would've dived the other way...

[Bobfoc]

I'd say the robot striker would be an improvement too.

[Gazz]

So that's what EA base their FIFA keeper AI on.
