Yeah but, given these extraordinary circumstances, letting it slide wouldn't have been an issue, no?
You'd think so, but he as the ref can't gamble on the FA sharing the same sentiment. He probably thinks he should just do his job.

Worked on their weakness eg their defence. They were great going forwards last season also. You have to take your hat off to the coaching staff their.

With the difference of they at least were great going forward at the start of last season...
Not great reading though. Van Dijk has been massive for them. Arguably as good as any center back in the world IMO and definitely the standout in the premier league.

You almost always prefer Milner out of the first 11. Disagree here, our best 11 going forward the only change would be Keita for Milner.
The balance is off when two of Henderson and Milner are in there together. Thankfully that shouldn’t be the case today, but both lallana and Shaqiri are more reliable creators. I rate Milner but I feel like our best midfield will eventually outgrow both him and Henderson. He’s been superb nonetheless for a long time now though.

Absolutely gone in different directions but it also shows it doesn't take long to fix your defence. They were already scoring lots of goals last year unlike us now. That's the difference.

Just an extra £130m to spend on 2 players.

They signed a new GK, they signed the best CB in the league. They have a young RB who has come from the youth system. Robertson has also developed. But of course it's not just about signing players, it's the coaching, the system, the drilling of positions.

They started last season with Moreno, Robertson has had as big an effect on this as VVD in my opinion

Bravo to everyone at the stadium for that. Didn't hear a peep.

Now, let's go!

From outside Liverpool's kit looks like ours from LVG's first year. Reminded instantly of beating Arsenal 1-2 with Rooney scoring and a host of youngsters in the backline.

Arsenals forwards are sure an ever-present threat. If it wasn't for their defense and City being a class above everyone, I'd have them as serious title contenders.

So basically they’re no where near contenders

Edit: that sounded rude sorry

BT might actually have the worst commentary team in the broadcasting world.
