It's staggering how many people think Liverpool were lucky last season!

You don't get 97 points and a Champions League win by luck!
They were lucky to be still in the title race till the last day. They gained at least 6 points from goalkeeping howlers in last few matches

People go on about DDG's distribution. But Kepa is not exactly neuer regen, is he.

Salah is so useless if Mane and Firmino arent there doing all the hardwork for him.

You could say the same about City needing a once in a lifetime screamer from a centre back against Leicester and a game decided by inches against Burnley.

So many liverpool attacks being broken down from misplaced passes yet when martial or rashford do likewise there would be new threads on here detailing how inconsistent they are.

A few times tonight and on Sunday Chelsea have had the chance to pass to a guy completely open and through on goal and they've just decided not to.

Very odd.

Chelsea look completely different with Kante in the side. He's so good. Would have been a completely different game if he started vs us imo.

It actually is a bit mad that Liverpool played on Friday and Chelsea played on Sunday. Especially this early on when sides are probably still building up fitness.

That’s the caf. Just because we lost the last games of the season we think we have lost all qualities and are nothing. Hopefully we fix this perception this season, and people will finally understand our worth.

These offsides are taking far too long to be called.
I noticed this in the women's world cup and the U17 (?) men's world cup, and apparently the linespeople have been instructed to do this to ensure that VAR can do its thing. I agree though, it's silly.

It is not like the SuperCup was unknown in terms of schedule either. The PL should have accomodated the games better

I wonder who will be the first defender to do his hamstring or calf chasing an attacker, who's obviously offside but the lino doesn't flag until he touches it will be?

If Liverpool play this high line they will get found out this season.
