No they didn't, they just didnt play as well as they normally do, that's a big difference. Plus one game? That's your evidence that they dont deserve their lead? Sadly typical this season.

They deserve to be in first, where did I say they shouldn't? They just have more points than what they would get if it was a normal season.
They played badly against Southampton away too. There are others. Every time I've watched Liverpool this season they have been much worse than last season. They have just managed to grind out results while playing worse this season.
Is this like a copy-paste from Redcafe or something?
They might not be as flashy as previous seasons, but have been outclassing every single opponent. They are much more mature in their game and are able to drag out wins even when not playing well. Which is a quality in itself. Such a weird take.
They have not outclassed every opponent, they have grinded out most games like Jose used to do at Chelsea.
So you're saying there have been games where they haven't played well? Hmmm, it's as though I just said that.
I stand by what I said. Liverpool were better last year.
How's Barça playing? I presume they're dominating, as with any home match, but any changes vs the Valverde days already or still too soon for any meaningful difference?
Bring Puig on for some excitement in this midfield.
Build up & applying pressure is better. Possession football is back. That's about it for now.

The usual bullshit with Uefalona. They struggle to score, the referee gives a red card out his ass to the opposing team and they score a goal.
Fuck Barcelona.
Fuck Barcelona.
Juventus didn't play too well in the second half but 3 points are 3 points. +4 on Inter, let's goooo

They're easily the best team in the world right now. My only hope is that they can't keep this form up all season during the latter rounds of the CL.
On the De Gea being fouled thing: I can't quite work out if it was, but does not Utd actually getting the ball after it matter? I know it doesn't (a foul is a foul) but at the same time somehow can't help but think it should (advantage rules are a thing). I remember Dutch fans going nuts at the ref in the WC final Vs Spain for not giving a free kick or goal kick or something, but the Dutch has possession after the fact and lost it, leading to Iniesta's goal.
Ramble.

Arsenal started promising till they stumbled and broke their leg in week 8.I've done a visualisation of PL points cumulated to date.

Sutton in radio 5 said it was no foul (and he is right) but the reaction of the UTD players was so incensed that the decision was always going to be no goal.

As an Ipswich Town supporter, it's quite sweet seeing Norwich City climbing up the table two times (hope is a powerful feeling), only for week 8 to come along and send them rock bottom for the next 14 weeks.
The Liverpool points tally looks like that bar chart for the PlayStation 2 sales against the GameCube and OG Xbox! Just needs that *crashes through the roof* animation ... 📊
So basically Liverpool losing this lead would almost be the same a Spurs or Arsenal still reaching second! Slight difference of course that I can see City go on another 10+ win streak and arsenal more like a 10+ draw streak...
I also wonder, would city even bother anymore and instead focus 100% on the CL.
To be fair, that would just be the two RM matches. If things continue at this rate, the league could be over by the quarterfinals. And by that point Liverpool can also concentrate on retaining the CL title if they get past Athletico and City might get drawn with them again.
Well they will try and secure 2nd at least, which for now is not a given at all.
You guys have basically been the most helpful community I've found on this site, and I'm super thankful. That being said...where does an American go to watch football? Anyone have links to a place to watch matches daily etc?
We ground out wins last season too.
I don't think there has been a league winner in history that has played well every time they have won - United used to do it all the time in the 90s/00s, Arsenal did it in the Invincibles season, City in their recent record setting seasons. Getting points from situations where you don't deserve them is the mark of a good team.
Think you lot have it on NBC but you can always stream games. Bear in mind that in England the traditional kick off time is Saturday 3pm but there's a morning game (usually 12.30pm) and an evening game (roughly 5.30pm).
On Sunday kick off times can be anything and in midweek games will kick off around 8pm, all UK time. This week there are loads of midweek games, which is rare, so that might be more timezone friendly for you.
Liverpool have been more wasteful maybe (definitely should have blown more teams away, but miss easy chances, yesterday should've been like 5-1), but we definitely weren't better last season. Best thing about Liverpool team this season is how rarely they've actually had to get out off 1st or 2nd gear and still looked very comfortable and the best team on the pitch. Also the few times they have went through the gears they've looked a completely different class.
Spot on.
Winning with minimal effort is basically what all the best sides do. They tend to play in bursts, occasionally going full throttle (like they did after half time) but only when they really need to.
Teddy Sheringham went on about Pogba on Talksport. This agenda against Pogba from ex United players is getting weird
Not too versed in streaming ever since the Subreddit was shut down but every major league can be watched in the US via cable or some streaming subscription like Sling or Fubo. Though, you'll probably need multiple subscriptions if you want multiple leagues.
Depends on what league you're interested in watching. Premier League is on NBC, Bundesliga is on Fox, and Serie A is on ESPN+. Check their websites for streaming options.
Quite a few get shown on the box out there. Those that don't get shown, well. We have no possible idea how you would watch them.
Yeah, he also has recovered the ancient Barça strategy of playing 11 against 10. Really effective!!!
(Joke shamelessly stolen from El Mundo Today)
You have to be an ace to get those streams...
But if you cannot watch the footy, at least go out to take a bite.
I'd argue that for Grealish to come in, he'd want one of Salah, Mane or Firmino to be going out.
Grealish is more than a squad player like Milner or Henderson.
Legit star talent. I've been amazed at what hes been able to pull off and consistently too.
If you watch a highlight reel of his goals and assists this season, you'd assume he was playing for a mid table team at worst.
This is really neat. Thank you for doing this.I've done a visualisation of PL points cumulated to date.
