There was absolutely nothing controversial about either Liverpool goal and it was clear Chelsea's first "goal" began with an offside pass in the build-up.

That's what VAR is for.  I mean, if you don't like VAR, I can sympathize.  But there's no reason to complain if it actually does its job appropriately.  "I don't like the correct call that VAR made that affected my team" is not an appropriate reason.

All the new Liverpool fans are adorable

I love Chelsea's (Abraham, Loftus-Cheek) and Arsenal's (Pepe, Lacazette) young talent.  And vets like Kante (Chelsea) and Aubameyang are also some of my favorites.

Chelsea is definitely being hindered by their transfer ban.  If they had been able or will be able to add over the last and next couple of transfer windows, I'd be very worried about them as a Liverpool fan.  I like Lampard and I think he's doing a good job with the youthful roster he's been provided.  And, as a Liverpool fan, watching Tammy Abraham play reminds me of a younger, faster, more agile Peter Crouch.  (If you're not a Liverpool fan, you might not understand how big a complement that is.)

I think Arsenal could be much more competitive now, but its kind of obvious that Emery isn't getting the job done.  I like Emery and I think he's a very good manager, but the I don't think the Emery/Arsenal relationship is working out.  If I were Arsenal management, I'd be knocking on Daniel Farke's door (current Norwich City manager) to judge his interest.   My god, what that man could do with Pepe and Lacazette would give me nightmares.  (P.S.  One puzzling move by Arsenal is I have no flippin' clue why they spend big money on bringing in David Luiz.  At only 8 million, he was worth a flyer, I guess?)

David Luiz is a stop gap guy.  Arsenal bid for Upanecano, top world young CB was rejected 2 days before window closes.  Arsenal purchased one of the other best young CBs in the world, William Saliba, but part of the deal requires him to be loaned back for a year.  Arsenal are still in a rebuilding mode.  Their midfield is sorted out but they are still missing top LW and CB.  Arsenal is only playing for top 4 this year.  I expect Arsenal to go back for Zaha and Upamecano next year and they should compete for titles.

Emery plays not to lose when the team weakness is D and team strength is attack.

This is why I think Daniel Farke would be deadly as Arsenal manager.

We shall see.  There is a movement to can Emery.  His contract expires in 7 months and currently there is no plan to bring him back.  I have a feeling if somehow Emery survives and gets Arsenal into CL... he will still be let go.  Emery is all that remaining from previous management.

Spurs lost 7-2 at home to Bayern.  Absolute embarrassment.  Rumors swirling that Pochettino is close to getting a boot.

Poch is a really, really good manager.  He'll land on his feet and I would bet chances are good it will be at a better position than Tottenham.

Hell, as soon as he's fired Arsenal would do well to measure his interest in the Gunner's job.

I’d give up my left nut to get Poch.

If they fire Poch, it would be the dumbest move I've ever seen from my team. For all the so-called 'fans' who are screaming for him to be gone, they must not remember or lived through the maddening days of clueless Ramos, one-trick Harry, Rico Suave (aka AVB), or the lack of elevator height on Sherwood's noggin.

 

He's the best manager we've had in the modern age by far, and there's really no one out there available that we could improve the spot with. Nagelsmann and Howe aren't going anywhere, and who knows if Allegri could repeat solidly in the EPL. No thanks, I'd like to stick with Poch, thanks. He's proven he can win, and once he's flushed out the pampered brats (I'm looking at you Mr. Eriksen), and if certain players who were pretty much made by Poch (and this one is directed at Dele here) would just step up and do their damn jobs, we wouldn't even be discussing this.

It happens to too many great managers...  They just lose the team... Klopp, Wenger, Pep and etc. and sometimes fresh start is the best route for everyone.  I think if Poch gets fired... Arsenal will fire Emery on the spot to bring him in.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
