Lots of long balls and crosses.

Yeah it is by a couple of seconds.
Hey, that's a great idea.
We need to play more through the middle, get firmino in the game. Think we're getting hoodwinked a bit here. Arsenal are happy for us to play it wide and we are happy to oblige.
edit. Or cross it one more time.

A goal from a corner. No, YOU'RE jealous.
I hate them as well but alas the dippers have just gone and taken the lead.
A kind of goal I can’t remember Utd scoring, direct from a corner and a great header into the net.
was always going to happen
VVD was all over Guendouzi in the box.
Whenever Liverpool and City struggle to create, they score from a set piece. I swear every tight game they win by set piece goal.
Firminho is fantastic.
Wouldn't bet on it after today!
Pepe is class. Remind me why we didn’t sign him? Oh, because we’re clueless. Carry on.
VAR was supposed to ruin our title chances, but you all forgot to factor in the corruption.
It hurts to see how Liverpool are while we trundle our way to mediocrity week in week out. It really hurts to acknowledge the gulf in quality.
Exactly
Last week I was being lynched on here by Arsenal fans telling me the Greek bloke was incredible.
He's a shithouse.
So Pepe looks like another player we should have been all over but weren't.. Mane, Sanchez(back in 2014), mahrez, lucas moura and now Pepe
Even with VAR the refs doing nothing against them.
You're lying.
Uhhh that replay showed that it was VVD who was being fouled during that corner?
Yep. There's absolutely no thrills with Liverpool. Simple, straightforward and very direct. Crazy how effective it is really. Obviously they work their arses off, but their play is almost rudimentary
Set pieces are still a thing in modern day football.
Teams seem to miss numerous clear chances against Liverpool.
Yup, sokratis was pulling vvd
As predicted
Wish I was.
Looks like we'll have to hold fire on declaring Ceballos the best central midfielder to ever live after his legendary performance against Burnley.
Been absolutely dire.
Been absolutely dire.
Daniel James > Pepe
Quote me the posts then.
He is a Real Madrid reject
We could've done with getting Pepe on a deal in 56 billion monthly instalments.
Yes. Not pretty but effective.
The thing is, what they do is very simple. They have a great rhythm in what they do, and they do it quickly, but it's simple football. They do the basics very well.
Pepe just broke VVD's record of 50 consecutive games without getting dribbled past.
Still an amazing stat though.

Had a great game last week but I've never understood the hype he gets. Really is nothing special.
Don't think Pepe looks near as good as some of the posts in here either.
In Gameweek 2 thread. Why on earth would I make such a thing up for goodness sake? Can't be bothered scrolling through hundreds of posts to appease you.
NBC need to sort out their feed. The delay has gone on for most of the half.
If Liverpool win today it will be 13 PL wins in a row (dating back from last season of course).
Last time they dropped points in the league was away to Everton on the 3rd of March.
City did extremely well to win the title really given the amount of pressure that was put on them.

There were 2 issues. Delay audio and video and a horrible camera angle
Haven't seen him much tbf .. just thought the hype off the back of a good performance against Burnley was amusing.
Nor do I. He's obviously very quick and will be a threat in behind, but he looks erratic as hell and he should be finishing that 1 on 1 situation.
Lazy comparison but I honestly don't think he's all that dissimilar to Gervinho. A better version and he might well end up scoring a decent amount of goals. I could well be completely wrong though since it's all based on a tiny sample size, but some of the reports of clubs like Bayern doubting his ability to perform when not in space look justified so far. Especially for a player who cost 72 million.
