General Premier League Thread 2024-25

Liverpool lead Man City through a deflected Mo Salah shot. It deflects off Ake, it was a well worked corner.

Nicely worked corner leading to the goal.

marmoush has a goal righly chalked off for offside

Andy Robertson is being destroyed so far this game.

Neville seems to be focusing on Trent an awful lot, to try and inflame the opinion that he is playing badly, but Doku has done nothing of note yet and City are clearly playing to him to go 1v1 against Trent as much as possible.

A better ball from TAA on that cross on the overlap and it could have been 2-0. There was someone completely free in the box.

Szoboszlai makes it 2-0. Salah with a goal and an assist.

It is extraordinary that the team top of the league have two full backs who are, relatively speaking, so poor defensively. They do of course offer plenty with the ball, sometimes.

De Bruyne struggling out there, summed up by that shot at the end. A shadow of the player he was. Everything he does looks so labored now. Only 33 too, maybe injuries took their toll. Thought with his technical ability he'd be able to adapt and dictate play with his passing.

Fair points alright.

How many games has Salah had a goal and an assist in this season?

Guy is outrageous. Between him and Henry for best foreign player of the PL era and he's not even done yet.

Seems like either he scores or assists every week for us.

Amazing player. He also skinned Nathan Aké down the wing after Gvardiol was put of position and just swatted him aside like he was David Luis playing for Arsenal all those years ago.

Thankfully Carragher is not on commentary, his last contribution from the studio was him saying we might see Haaland today.

Trent is a non defending defender similar to Onana's non goalkeeping goalkeeper.

Looks like offside

var corrects an incorrect decision. Var is good

Good use of VAR. Quick and we all knew what they were checking 😉
