2022-23 English Premier League Discussion Thread

Watching Liverpool vs. Leeds. It's hard to describe Liverpool at the moment.

There are moments where they look poised and devastating on the break, but their midfield and defence is appalling. Leeds, who aren't exactly known as a midfield force, have been passing through Liverpool with relative ease. It's just so unlike a Klopp team.

Jamie Carragher just described Fabinho as being like a ghost out there, I think that's a fair assessment.

They lost.

Fabulous by Leeds, they were very persistent. Meslier had a magnificent game in goal.

Liverpool look cooked. Fresh ideas needed.

[Sedale Threatt]

Leeds should have beaten Arsenal a few weeks back too. They ran us off the park in the 2nd half.

They should go all out for youri tielemans in January. He is exactly what they need.

And yet in between they were humiliated by Leicester who made them look like a non-league team.

NF has interesting history, decades since they were in the PL, only to return this season, spent a ton of money but may
have to spend more to avoid relegation.

Only suspense in this match vs. Arsenal was whether Jesus would end his scoring drought. Looks like he won’t.

The ridiculous, wasteful way they spent their money is part of the reason why they're fighting relegation.

Thilo Kehrer is such a bad defender.

[Baphomet]

Crazy to think that Kepa made the preliminary Spain world cup team over De Gea.

Some good saves there.

So am I am being a one-eyed fan when I say I was **** shocked that the dude who kicked Martinez in the face didn't get a card? Chippy game and the ref had a consistently loose whistle but come on. He jumped in the air and raise his boot even higher.

Sick goals by Arsenal. Bastards lol.

[wco81]

Nelson hadn't done anything in the PL so far. Only 22 or 23 and he scores 2 goals and has an assist.

Arsenal may still look to add some players in January.

[Sedale Threatt]

The British press will print anything, so take it with a grain of salt. But they're reportedly going to have $50 million to spend. Provided they do it wisely, that could really help.

I can believe that. I think the openness of the race for the title and top four will cause a bit of a rare arms race in January.

Chelsea especially will look to improve the squad after spending half a billion and somehow getting worse.

It was 100% a second yellow card. I typically don't like those kinds of calls where a player gets carded for trying to get a high ball with their boot, but another player's upper body is in the vicinity. However, I think there's an important distinction between an honest attempt to get the ball and dangerous play. What Scamacca did was dangerous, imo.

This Leeds-Bournmouth match is wild. There's only so much time I'm willing to spend watching sports anymore so, when it comes to futbol, I usually get hung up on watching the big teams and forget just how deep and good the PL is. Three-all and there's still 20 minutes to go. Side note: Leeds' defending has been shocking.

Leeds are a very entertaining side, but defensively about as suspect as it gets. It's been like this since they appointed Bielsa a few years ago and Marsch has kept that legacy alive. They play naively, suicidally even, but incredibly fast-paced and entertaining. They can go from looking like world beaters to a non-league team in the space of minutes.

I really Summerville, and Gnonto looks promising from what I've seen of him.

They switched back and forth like this throughout the match. It was wild

[HIF]

All of the matches on saturday were interesting and many had late and important goals. The Prem is a great league. Shame it's shutting down for the winter.

[The_Brecht]

I've seen this given as a pen.

[The_Brecht]

Saliba is a gem of a defender.

[The_Brecht]

What a win.
