3 0 Salah with a goal, that Saudi bid really destabilized them for sure. Probably would have scored 10 without it.

Liverpool attack, lose it, Tielemens on the break and pulled back by Matip. No yellow. Absolute zero consistency with the rules.

ShamoBuc · 03-09-2023 03:12PM

A comfortable enough 3-0 win for Liverpool.

Made Villa look ordinary enough.

Unfortunately Villa missing one too many important player to be able to deal with Liverpool when they're at their absolute best, which they were today. A team with Moreno, Mings, Ramsey and Buendia in there may still have struggled against the quality of Liverpool's performance today, but would be a whole lot more competitive than that.

Still, if you're going to lose 2 games poorly, Anfield and St James Park are likely the places to do them, since very few win there at the moment.

That’s a tight looking Utd kit.

klose · 03-09-2023 03:32PM

Mike dean on commentary for sky? Wtf. Lots of focus on reffing/Var already this season and we are only on game week 4, should br a big push for refs to be mic'd up or interviewed post game.

Yeah, there are worse places to lose.

Thought Liverpool did well without both of their first choice centre backs too.

Strange to be thinking it's Arsenal v Newcastle with that kit. Even Arsenal v Juventus.

It looks like a Newcastle kit to me on TV.

TitianGerm · 03-09-2023 03:45PM

Some mess before that corner. Dalot tries to head clear, ball comes off Martials hand and bounces to Havertz who miskicks his shot and it rolls to Nkitath who then gets the ball taken off his toe by Lindelof (I think) who was in the ground.

doc_17 · 03-09-2023 03:47PM

I think Antony will eventually be a very good player for Utd. Bit one dimensional at the minute but think he could be a very, very good player in a year or two.

I can't see it. As you mention it, 1 dimensional. The one trick of coming in on his left and curling it into the top corner - rately- isn't enough. He seems to give the impression that there is more to his game but I've yet to see it. Normally one of the first to he subbed off I'd say.

Arsenal's passing looks seemless but United can't get any offensive passing going.

McDermotX · 03-09-2023 03:55PM

No card for Antony kicking the ball away

Clearly knew

Rule begins and ends with Liverpool.

Smash and grab by Rashford. Nice finish

SlickRic · 03-09-2023 03:56PM

Taylor drowning here.

Antony should be booked all day for kicking the ball away. Refs just forget to enforce the rules as they go along.

McDermotX · 03-09-2023 03:57PM

White and Saliba really poor there. Especially the former. Need to be much tighter.

McDermotX · 03-09-2023 03:58PM

Good response from Arsenal. Cracking finish by Odegaard

SlickRic · 03-09-2023 03:58PM

Soft.

White has to keep Rashord down the left, and Ramsdale should save.

ShamoBuc · 03-09-2023 03:58PM

Ref said Antony didn't hear the whistle, nonsense.

Rashford on the left, scores from the only position he should be played in.

doc_17 · 03-09-2023 03:58PM

Brilliant goal by Rashford. And brilliant response!

TitianGerm · 03-09-2023 03:58PM

Great pass by Erikson there to set Rashford in his way. Shocking defending from the three Arsenal lads, especially Zinchenko who stood looking at him getting ready to shoot. Nice placement from Rashford.

United concede straight away.

ShamoBuc · 03-09-2023 03:59PM

And a fine response by Arsenal.

tinpib · 03-09-2023 04:00PM

In the battle of the defensive midfielders Rice vs Onana, Rice is shading it for me.

doc_17 · 03-09-2023 04:01PM

Hard to beat a cracking Super Sunday. Keep ‘er lit lads…..only thing missing is watching it on the pub.

sligeach · 03-09-2023 04:01PM

That Man United away jersey is absolutely manky. United had done nothing for the first 25 minutes, not had a shot, not had a touch in Arsenal's box, engaged in time wasting and Antony should have been booked for kicking the ball away. Yet somehow went ahead only for Arsenal to equalise a minute later.

doc_17 · 03-09-2023 04:03PM

Antony reminds me of the fox and hedgehog line, a fox have many small tricks, a hedgehog has one big one. But he will be coached. He’s pacy, he is skillful and his game will develop.

McDermotX · 03-09-2023 04:07PM

Lindelof is just awful

TitianGerm · 03-09-2023 04:08PM

He nearly kicked him in the head trying that tackle 😁

Fitz* · 03-09-2023 04:09PM

A real lack of "oooooooh" from Gary Neville there when Lindelof committed that foul.

McDermotX · 03-09-2023 04:10PM

VAR consistent as ever there

It really is the best thing to happen to football in decades

TitianGerm · 03-09-2023 04:11PM

That could have been a red for Saka. Maybe not because he was pushed into from Dalot?

McDermotX · 03-09-2023 04:16PM

"Utd dominating the game"

Neville clearly doesn't understand possession stats at all.
