Like last season, they just needed a few matches to play themselves into shape. Their ability to suffocate even the very best teams like ourselves and Liverpool away from home is insane. Now watch Liverpool pip this in the second half 😂 They still can't kill off games, so nothing has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,957 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 The schedule is quite favourable for us, although I am actually shitting the Brentford away game right after the international break. But we can seriously go on some run and create at least some little gap. Knowing us though, Brentford will take something next weekend lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werner was one of the best around in Germany but we see how that’s going… They are more inverted wingers I would say given how far they track back and how wide they stay off the ball in transition. Werner never really was a wide player more of a second striker. But he lacks the low Centre of gravity and tight ball control/dribbling of the Liverpool duo. That is why he will never have their impact in PL i would love to have wingers with just this little bit of extra physicality and improvisation technique. All our wingers lack this and it makes them so much less decisive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re probably thanking their lucky starts that Kane didn’t happen because he looks a shadow of himself now. They’ll walk the PL for the next 5 years with Haaland. He is likely going to Real Madrid along with Mbappe (99%) TOP STORY: Haaland prefers Madrid move https://www.espn.com/soccer/blog-transfer-talk/story/4487140/transfer-talk-haaland-prefers-real-madrid-over-psg-amid-dortmunds-secret-pact Real Madrid: Haaland transfer pact remains, despite Borussia Dortmund CEO's "bullshit" claims Hans-Joachim Watzke's recent comments in an interview on German TV do not tell the full story about Erling Braut Haaland's Borussia Dortmund future. https://en.as.com/en/2021/09/29/soccer/1632940122_118376.html Haaland has Dortmund's word he can leave in summer 2022 However, the reality of the situation is quite different. AS has been told by Dortmund sources that the club continue to have an agreement with Haaland’s agent, Mino Raiola, whereby they will agree to negotiate the player’s sale at the end of the current campaign. The striker’s side of the bargain was not to push for a transfer in summer 2021 - despite having major offers from top European clubs - and to wait until next year. Having done as agreed, Haaland is now all set to depart Signal Iduna Park in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,178 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Monday October 4 2021 English football's claims of superiority over the likes of La Liga and Serie A are more valid than ever By Chris Bascombe, Football reporter Are we watching the greatest Premier League season ever? Based on the quality of games, the attacking ambition of the majority of teams, and the number of elite players at their peak, there is cause to believe so. Claiming the Premier League is the finest in the world can leave one vulnerable to accusations of leading a marketing campaign. The most exciting? For sure. The best? Naysayers have generally been able to point towards the technical superiority of La Liga, the tactical nuances of Serie A, the fan-friendly-tastic Bundesliga, or the emerging coaching talents honing their skills in the criminally overlooked Categoría Primera B in Colombia. Fly the flag for England’s top flight and you can sound insular and arrogant, blind to the Premier League’s many flaws and mistaking entertainment for high quality. Not now. Seven league games into this season, English domestic football’s claims of supremacy are more valid. Pep Guardiola added his weighty voice to those arguing the Premier League is the world's best following another compelling encounter with Liverpool, which was capped off by Mohamed Salah's spectacular goal. The two elite English clubs going two-to-two enhanced the idea that Manchester City versus Liverpool has become the most technically and tactically watchable fixture in world football. Barcelona and Real Madrid once made that claim, unchallenged, about El Clasico. But as Spanish football deteriorates due to its financial strife, the Premier League appears to have emerged even stronger from the pandemic, despite its clubs’ lingering economic concerns. It goes beyond England's top two. European champions Chelsea are ready to challenge for the title again, while only two points separate the top six; Cristiano Ronaldo’s Manchester United return made the pulse of PR reps race as much as fans, and the enlightened approach of newcomers Brentford has added a fresh dimension. Their 3-3 draw with Liverpool surely ended the era of promoted clubs believing they can only survive and thrive against the best via defensive resistance rather than showing offensive purpose. The Premier League truly is a joy ride in 2021/22. Buckle down and savour every adrenaline rush.

Picture of the weekend CREDIT: REUTERS Pep goes potty: "Pep Guardiola's diatribe towards Mike Dean, triggered by Paul Tierney’s failure to show James Milner a second yellow card for a clear foul on Bernardo Silva, lasted so long that it should surely have warranted his banishment to the stands," writes Oliver Brown. The weekend's best stat 7 Mohamed Salah has now scored in seven matches in a row in all competitions, equalling his best ever scoring run with Liverpool, doing so for the first time since April 2018.
