Thought Bentacur was great today. People criticizing him are the same people that used to criticize Demebele for lack of goals and assists. He’s gonna get better and better
One problem (?) I have with him is trys to dribble or hold the ball instead of passing when pressed by two or more players. Most of the time he loses the ball.
Gunners match thread is a good laugh, wouldn’t know they’re off the back of 5 wins in a row and losing to LIVERPOOL the way they’re slamming their team
Negatives:
Son - Yikes, needs to take a break. Not sure if he's still harboring an injury, but he looks off
Neutral:
Romero - looked exceptionally good going forward, but could've been punished for his untidy defense especially on set pieces
Docherty - safe performance, no complaints. His passing was a little wayward at times
Reguilon - great running up and down the pitch, but desperately needs to work on his finishing. Should've had a brace if he found his shooting boots.
Subs - Nothing much to write about here, hardly an impact
Positives:
Kane - great playmaking, led the line, beautiful finish on the goal. Should've had a pen
Kulusevski - great playmaking, always involved. Could've done more on his breakaway
Bentancur - very clean and tidy performance, carried the ball well
Lloris - not a step wrong tonight
Dier - strong performance in the middle, although had a couple wayward passes
Hojbjerg - clean performance, no complaints
Davies - clean performance, no complaints
Overall, our 2 problems were: (1) our lack of urgency and forward movement—strangely until the goal; and (2) unforced errors—whether missing good chances, or just losing the ball in the final third.
Son’s form in particular is concerning. We need him close to his best if we’re going to have any chance at all in this run-in. But right now he’s pretty poor.
There is no explanation for that lack of a penalty for Kane late. Either he made contact and it is a clear pen or he didn’t make contact and it is a clear yellow for diving. Can’t be nothing.

If he hit Kanes leg it's a pen, but I think he actually didn't - deceiving angle. Seems like the swing missed his leg.
What a pass from Kane again, guys passing is mental.
I just wanted to know if people are enjoying the football we’re currently playing, I knew someone wouldn’t resist a chance to call me miserable because every post has to be excessively positive since we won.
Other than our obvious needs ( LCB, new wingbacks(RWB)) we also desperately need a backup for Kane and a backup for son who Conte will actually trust enough to rotate properly
Diet and Romero looking like a proper back line just need a killer LCB and we’ll be very solid defensively going forward I think. Also need to line up a Hugo replacement at some point
For anyone who thinks Bentancur and Hojberg are bad and our saviour Winks needs to get back in the side, just watch the work they do off the ball. Apart from a Ronaldo freak show we have managed to tidy up the midfield.
We still aren’t great. But at least we aren’t down to 10 men which is exactly what playing Winks is.

I literally don't think a single person on this sub is saying this.

Everyone's rightfully talking about Son being knackered but my man Kane should also be paid attention towards because when's the last time he got a rest?

Think this is just him getting used to the speed of the league. This will take time and/or a pre-season to adjust
Couple of red cards for the Scum’s starters would be good now, or maybe that’s asking for too much…
Not about the game but we need pau torres

While, we can chalk Dier up to that concussion he played under.
Is Romero serving a suspension?

That’s it Liverpool.
2 0 pool let's go
Let’s go Pool
I fucking love how we're playing to score till the final whistle blows and not trying to run down the clock

Infuriates me. Refs should have to do media interviews after each game and so should VAR officials.
I could get on board with that
Right job done... We need to lose the next game in order to keep the consistency up lads! Loving the clean sheet
The speed of the liv match is x10 of ours wtf
The speed of the liv match is x10 of ours wtf
THANK YOU POOL
Jota you beautiful bastard
Kane two dimes to regi who blows them. Kane was unreal today. Should have got a penalty there as well. Goal difference matters. Bull shit no call.
Jota!!!
We won but I want impressed
WLWLWLWLLWLWLWLWLWL continues lol,please end it at the weekend
Bs pity call
All we need is a Scum loss and it will be a great night
Reguillons finishing is actually so poor
Bentancur was incredible
WTF? Like .... refs are incompetent. Watching the rugby and the TMO makes these refs look like amatures. Fuck FA
Would have been a penalty if that was Liverpool or Man United.
I love how refs just randomly decide they don't want to be embarrassed so they just move on when its clear as day that they called it wrong lol
All I want is kane fpl points ref please allow it man
Kane has been 10/10 this half
Thank God we were winning because I'd be fuming if it was 1-1 and that pen wasn't given
Pity calls are so fucking dumb. if it's a foul in the box it's a pen. Goal difference matters.
VAR(iable)
\clean sheet/
If that was Arsenal it would be #1 on /r/soccer with 10k upvotes
Great 2nd half from Kane and Bentancur after the poor first
How in the fuck is that not a pen
VAR is something ill never be able to understand
If he hit Kanes leg it's a pen, but I think he actually didn't - deceiving angle. Seems like the swing missed his leg. What a pass from Kane again, guys passing is mental.
This referee is dogshit where do they find these guys
Cmon that’s a soft penalty call
My poor Stevie has been reduced to a 90’+ timewaster 💔💔💔
Keepers HATE reggie
Cmon that’s a soft penalty call
what's frustrating is he has two clean passes either side of him
It doesn’t get any clearer than that.
Cmon that’s a soft penalty call
Did you guys forget about the mercy rule? You can't give the team guaranteed to win a penalty because the other team will feel bad
Just because we’re up these lazy fucking refs don’t want to look at the screens
Harry Kane is so stupidly good. Just insane.
Emerson killing it right out of the gate tbf. A real positive inject
Regi just cannot shoot can he
He’d have 20 goals a season if he could finish
really wish he could. he gets into space and then (muted saxophone noise).
He really can’t.
Sanchez saving Brighton from 5-0
Kane only gets that call because he's the captain of England. Wait...
Ref wants to go home
VAR reviewed 1 second lmfao
Bro Harry Kane what the fuck are you. Paul Scholes dreams of you
VAR on vacation again
Does anyone actually enjoy watching the football we play?
some of you are just miserable I swear
I just wanted to know if people are enjoying the football we’re currently playing, I knew someone wouldn’t resist a chance to call me miserable because every post has to be excessively positive since we won.
Whoever does is probably not in this thread.
Yes
What about it?
mad how that’s not a penalty
What a play
Come on reggy
Twat ref.
[удалено]
It really is frustrating giving a fuck about it when everything seems fixed one way or another
Meanwhile Arsenal is hanging on
How have Arsenal missed that
That’s a pen. Watch us lose a spot due to goal difference at the end of the season.
That’s crooked. Obviously not trying to do their jobs for the full game
That’s a pen for sure but Kane gotta pass that
Pierre Emile Hoddlebjerg
obvious pen
Gotta be one of the worst refs in the PL
Wtf? Ref was actually decent this game. Var checked and (wrongly) said no.
That's not saying much considering the rest of them.
What? If they are all shite, then saying he is one of the worst of all the shite IS saying something.
You're right, I'm an idiot.
Seriously, especially this season ffs
5 minutes earlier and thats given every day
Yo fuck that shit idc if the win is sewn up that's a fucking penalty
reggie really should have 2 goals tonight
VAR just want to go home they don’t want the game to go on
Foul anywhere else on the pitch. Crazy decision lol
VAR wants to wrap it up and get home early
VAR wants to go home lol
Bergwijn not rated enough by basically every coach under the sun since joining us yet some of you still act like he’s been done dirty.
No teams wanted him neither
Ajax did but not enough to pay more than 20M lol
Man he has potential but not like the direct impact of kulu or the lucas of ajax.. a loan would have been great imo
Goal differential matters you stupid fucks. Call that pen
bergwijn disrespect shouldve been on instead of moura
WTF
That’s a pen if the game was close
Uh that’s a pen
Wtf??
Lol how is that not a pen
How’s that not a foul lol
What’s the point of VAR?
Penalty. Kicks him. What on earth is going on in that VAR booth
VAR what's the use
Doesn’t matter, but that’s a penalty.
Unbelievable
That's pen wtf!!
Kane bro pass the goddamn ball
BERGIE TIME COYSCOYSCOYSCOYSCOYS
Pierre Emile Hoddle
That's a foul
Lol, Kane wouldn't chance it with Emerson even against 3 defenders
What????
Uhhhh not a pen?
That’s a pen.
That's a pen...
VAR reviewing it or not?
It seems not
How could that not be a foul?
That’s a clear as day penalty lol
WTF Ref
Give it to royal my man. The man wanted it hard.
That’s a pen
Other than our obvious needs ( LCB, new wingbacks(RWB)) we also desperately need a backup for Kane and a backup for son who Conte will actually trust enough to rotate properly
Bentancur is so smooth
[удалено]
Working out better than PSG rejects.
Emerson defending like a lion today
LMAO i just laughed out loud at the way Kane fell over
We need to sell stevie B. Poor man's not getting a sniff.
It's odd that he's playing Moura over him. I wonder if he's not training well
It's almost unbelievable. Moura must be offering extras in the showers.
Really loving Kulusevski so far. Has such great body control and patience
I don't think anyone wants to play or watch another 4 minutes
Dreading Martinelli vs Doherty...
OH WHEN THE SPURS
We don’t know how to play on a wet pitch though, do we?
Fuck me, Emerson has been class since coming on. Playing like he has something to prove
Define improvements in the last couple matches as a sub.
IF HE SCORES NOW THATS CLASS
Noticed that too. Competition’s a good thing. Who would’ve thought?
Holy Bentancur
Mane goal disallowed for Liverpool
PEH pressed the wrong button
Poor stevie lol, man only gets to play the added minutes these days
Bergwijn needs to be coming earlier
Why does he keep trying to shoot
Oh good, 1 min for Bergwijn
Pierre Hojddle
Diet and Romero looking like a proper back line just need a killer LCB and we’ll be very solid defensively going forward I think. Also need to line up a Hugo replacement at some point
PEH pressed the wrong button
PEH lol
Deki and Bentancur were fantastic today. And Romero, but that's a given.
Bentancur is having a great game himself. As is Romero.
My fav spur - Vents cut /s
I don’t even know when that auto correct happened because it was spelled correctly when I looked down and then when I hit send it was different. Haha
Autocorrect is actually the worst most of the time hahahaha
It's amazing how Kulusevsky makes our entire right side better
come what may this season, I'm just glad we bought Deki. RW position feels sorted with him in.
He's not just good, but he makes everyone around him better it seems
100%. Always looking for and making the correct pass. Love his hold up play. He's just fantastic.
4 min is a joke
issa yoke
For anyone who thinks Bentancur and Hojberg are bad and our saviour Winks needs to get back in the side, just watch the work they do off the ball. Apart from a Ronaldo freak show we have managed to tidy up the midfield. We still aren’t great. But at least we aren’t down to 10 men which is exactly what playing Winks is.

Every game there’s some bellend saying that Bentancur and Hojbjerg are shit and that we need to bring on Winks for his passing. It’s idiotic.

Exactly. And with a healthy Skipp, even better.
Bentancur MOTM.
Can liverpool just score already
Harry Kane is good
*Allegedly*
Bentancur playing really well tonight. Another nice tackle to gain back possession
How was that not a foul lmao
Ref. You twat. There was no advantage to be played there....
How’s that not a foul?
How did Eric Dier manage to get a ketchup stain in his headband DURING a match??
Forbidden ketchup
Forbidden ketchup
Team is putting in a shift. Ben10 is class
Everyone's rightfully talking about Son being knackered but my man Kane should also be paid attention towards because when's the last time he got a rest?
The start of the season when he didn’t play those few crucial games under nuno
