PL Weekend Fixtures 17/10/20 - 19/10/20

[FrankDrebin]

I get Barthez vibes with Pickford.

 

[Zoo]

He’s a beast in the air

 

[kouroux]

Whoever was criticizing Digne

 

[Idxomer]

Lewindowski again.

 

[TsuWave]

I didn't think it was possible but Thiago has taken Liverpool up a level

He hasn’t done much today

 

[Falcow]

They must have scheduled this game today thinking it's finally long overdue Everton finally beat Liverpool as the last time Everton beat Liverpool was exactly on this day 10 years ago. Liverpool is Everton's jinx, they are cursed, never gonna beat them. 10 years and still waiting.

10 years, seriously?

 

[Inigo Montoya]

I didn't think it was possible but Thiago has taken Liverpool up a level

They lacked a bit of creativity in CM. He provides it

 

[TsuWave]

Great goal!! Yes

 

[2 man midfield]

What a header

 

[DomesticTadpole]

DCL can't half jump high.

 

[The Firestarter]

What a jump.

 

[charlenefan]

DCL proper mugged Robertson off there

 

[Tony247]

CL can jump not just inches higher than defenders but almost a foot high!!

Correction: almost 2 feet higher!!!!

 

[Sylar]

DCL with a great header there

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Fantastic header

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

What a player! Big Dom!

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Yes DCL!!!!

 

[Pow]

2 2

 

[Irrational.]

This is Calvert Lewin's Harry Kane season.

 

[RonaldoVII]

If Van Dijk is out for long term then the league becomes quite open I feel. Shame our summer prevented us from being in the mix.

 

[VorZakone]

What a fecking header

 

[Jacko21]

The height DCL gets is ridiculous.

 

[K_Ash]

Lucas Digne that I think of whenever I look at O. Dembele...Lucas just could not get it together at Barcelona...Lucas' style of play fits the ePL like a glove..just like Ousmane would

 

[sullydnl]

I'm almost positive that's wrong. Pickford was challenging for the ball at the time with excessive force, endangering the safety of the opponent. The offside doesn't negate that, it merely means it's not a penalty.

Yep, it is wrong (apparently). The offside means a penalty can't be given but it seems there should still have been a red card check to see if there was deliberate attempt to play the ball on Pickford's part. The VAR David Coote checked for the penalty (and rightly didn't give it) but failed to then check the challenge independently as a red.

I'm interested in the "deliberate attempt to play the ball" part, mind, as I have no doubt that was an attempt to play the ball on Pickford's part. He's just awful at literally everything he does. Would be interested to know the standard they apply.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Whoever was criticizing Digne

Lovely ball in. Just asks to be headed.

 

[NJM78]

What a beautiful goal.

 

[Shane88]

Great header, better cross.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

What a header. Ronaldoesq

 

[C3Pique]

Incredible header

 

[Pow]

Trent is such a wank defender

 

[charlenefan]

He hasn’t done much today

Yeah he has, you're either not watching him or you don't appreciate what he does. He's utter class

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Let's buy him. Great touch, hold up and link play.

 

[Baxter]

He’s absolutely world class. Ronaldo would be proud of that leap.

 

[2 man midfield]

10th goal already, jesus

 

[kouroux]

It was like Ronaldo vs Evra in the CL with that header

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Still time for a winner

 

[Sara125]

This game is mental

 

[Buchan]

Alexander-Arnold in ‘being-Alexander-Arnold’ shocker.

 

[RedPed]

What, because certain people didn't want to sign a certain player that makes the 'caf a pit?! Ya big softie.

Yeah, can't you tell I'm hurting.

 

[Tony247]

This is Calvert Lewin's Harry Kane season.

He is going to take them to top 4. A team with striker in form of his life always does.
