Southampton are so bad

They really were when you made that post. Can't believe the final result considering how easy Chelsea were getting at them at that stage. So many crazy games this season so far.

The lack of fans and atmosphere seems to be playing a huge part in games this season.

You'd be raging if that Mane offside was awarded against you tbf, weird one. LFC have ridden their luck alot over the last two seasons so perhaps its run out now.

PsychoPete

Even though I'm not an Arsenal fan I still get nervous when Luiz gets on the ball

Who said that?

Liverpool are supposed to be the best defensively, but they've let in 9 in 2 games. Seems to be a mad season.

Why are Arsenal wearing blue seems strange

Don't encourage the inference

I know playing out from the back is in thing but surely after getting caught out multiple times in every game you realise maybe we’re not great at this.

Are you saying that the team hasn't ridden its luck by times over the last two seasons?

I'd say the same thing about City for their two mammoth seasons by the way, United too by times when they were on top. When you are at the top the little things do have a habit of going your way, last minute winners, dodgy decisions etc.

Its by no means taking anything away from what Klopp has achieved by acknowledging the rub of the green.

I think Liverpool were a lot luckier last season than the previous year. I actually think they played better in 18-19 than 19-20, but were a bit unlucky and also City were brilliant, whereas last season they were a bit lucky, but nobody got within an ass's roar of them anyway.

The problem with Arsenal is they try to walk it in out

If those reports about VVD are true then it opens up the title race.

Seriously,what a stupid statement,should liverpool just forfeit the rest of the games so

Astonishing that you can scissor challenge an opposition player like that, not get anywhere near the ball, bend his knee back, tear his ACL, end his season and not get carded for it.

It was, and still is, a shocking decision.

Always whinging over something. We'll be hearing about this for years no doubt.

On the plus side, this Thiago chap we picked up for £20m who made his first start in the PL today looks decent

He's been playing at the elite end of the game for years.

If he wasn't punished in-game, does that mean action can still be taken against him afterward?

Everybody should be pushing to get rid of VAR

Would you rather teams not ask them to explain the decisions? I'm sure teams likely ask for explanations all the time.

Couldn't be his ACL he walked off fairly ok. I'm fairly sure you can't walk off after doing your ACL

As a kid learning the game everyone is told to play to the whistle. Maybe try adopt that philosophy instead of constantly crying about some injustice or another.
