Carragher got absolutely molested by Lukaku for Morrison's miss btw. City are gonna embarass us

 

[GorillaJu]

Pretty much, though apparently our pass completion rate for the first half was 88%, more than any game last season. What do we win?

That does make me feel better, just to know that we didn't misplace as many as it looked like we did, because from my point of view, we looked every bit as bad today as we did last season.

 

[Scum]

£15m?

I wonder how much Barca will get from him? Destined for a bench role.

Oh you.

 

[Firemind]

VdV, Vertonghen and Anita are all on the bench? What are you muppets doing?

 

[Sleepy]

Cazorla looked class though. I think Podolski and Giroud should start together really, it's a travesty that Gervinho is starting ahead of one of them when he can't finish for fucking shit.

Shocked when I saw that both were not included. Shit miss by Giroud, but at least he looked threatening. Shit game...and now Song is gone. Feels bad, man.

The 'Meus Renaissance Moral Victory'.

Lucas has been a bit off the pace all through pre-season, still coming back and if Liverpool had a decent back-up he probably wouldn't have started I think.

 

[Fry]

Why the lol?

It's mandatory for them to have release clauses in Spain, so having some ridiculously high makes sense if they don't want to sell.

Dunno. Can't see where Song will fit in in that midfield. They have Busquets AND Mascherano.

Seems more like the case of Barca making their customary Arsenal trolling rather than a necessity signing.

 

[MPW]

who is playing in modric's role for spurs?

 

[bud]

Hashim Albahbahani on Twitter: "Liverpool fans need not panic. Rodgers has proven once that he can avoid relegation, I'm sure he can do it again."

 

[Broder Salsa]

Dunno. Can't see where Song will fit in in that midfield. They have Busquets AND Mascherano.

Oh yeah I don't think he will be a starter either, at least not in the important matches.

 

[Kyoufu]

VdV, Vertonghen and Anita are all on the bench? What are you muppets doing?

Don't worry, we didn't spend 6 and a half million on a bench player. He'll get the debut applause from the fans.

 

[Error]

Song was never going to be a starter, he will probably play more minutes than Keita but he isn't starter by any means.

I don't get why that's bad suddenly, it's exactly what we got him for.

 

[Salvadora]

Cazorla looked top class today, Absolutely a step above everyone else. Gervinho is absolutely shocking. Thank God Song is out the door so it doesn't dominate the headlines for the rest of the window, But I know what will make the papers tomorrow. Speculation on the lack of RVP at Arsenal. Giroud should never have missed that chance.

Hey during our loss we dominated possession and played some pretty stuff! I claim an Arsenal win.

 

[bud]

as a defensive midfielder, song is better suited for barcelona's way of playing than mascherano, though.

i think he'll be a regular sub for busquets.

I'd like to see Mascherano and Pique continue at centreback.

Is it insane to suggest the Masacherano is a better centreback than Puyol these days?

 

[FuturusX]

If toon demolish Spurs...my footballing weekend will be saved..

Mascherano will take over centre back from Puyol most of the time I think

Nope. His timing is utterly magnificent. Great intelligence

 

[Kyoufu]

Fuck me GAF, I'm so nervous. This moment... it has been a while since we last played.

This is my first start to a season since Dalglish got the job. lol

 

[offshore]

Just warming up here, ignore me.

CISSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Roll on Newcastle draw

 

[dc89]

So Song to Barca for £15m?

 

[GQman2121]

So Song to Barca for £15m?

Is that all!?

 

[GorillaJu]

I'm hoping for a bit of a dud between Newcastle and Spurs. Maybe a 1-1 with goals from Defoe and Tiote I had a good start to FPL, would like to keep it that way!

 

[Fry]

I don't get why that's bad suddenly, it's exactly what we got him for.

Nah, it's bad for Arsenal. Song is a pretty good DM, with an awesome long range passing skill. He probably had 10+ assists last season, and most of them went to Van Persie (I think). If he gets regular playing time, he could form a nice 'partnership' with Villa or Messi.

Is it insane to suggest the Masacherano is a better centreback than Puyol these days?

I barely see Masch playing these days, but Puyol is probably already a level below him. Age and injuries are catching up.

 

[Wessiej]

What? The 3 players that I want to see are not in? The fuck.

 

[bud]

song really is the next keita.

Mascherano will take over centre back from Puyol most of the time I think

yeah, he's been playing there for quite a while already.

Need a bale hat-trick and Friedel clean sheet.

I'm waiting for AVB histrionics. I got a Wenger water bottle throw, so I'm looking for the double.

 

[Kyoufu]

Trolled again haha

 

[Error]

mascherano was second in logged minutes last season, only beaten by messi.

 

[KidA Seven]

Just warming up here, ignore me.

CISSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

He better score. I have him on fantasy. Suarez failed me. Fabio failed me. And finally, Giroud failed my Cazorla pick.

 

[Salvadora]

Barcelona got Song for an absolute steal. Helped in no part by himself, I'm sure. The little shit.

 

[Salazar]

I dunno how the Agger pen gets classed as harsh.

 

[Meier]

Argh, asked this guy to record Premier League Years 11/12 for me.. he told me to remind him in like 2 weeks so I did. He had set it to record but I guess his sub ran out on the 16th or something. Sonuva!

Ben Arfa playing eh? I knew he had a knock so I didn't play him, doh.

 

[dc89]

Is that all!?

That is all. Apparently that's the fee agreed.

 

[Kyoufu]

Shit. We've never beaten Tottenheim on the opening day of the season.

Fuck.

 

[Salvadora]

Shit. We've never beaten Tottenheim on the opening day of the season.

Fuck.

I believe in you.

 

[Tc91]

Lol BAE's picture on ESPN.

 

[FuturusX]

Shit. We've never beaten Tottenheim on the opening day of the season.

Fuck.

Have faith in lord Cisse...the one true striker to rule them all.

 

[Meier]

That Toon fan with the pink shirt! :O

Three Lions playing over the PA.. love The Lightning Seeds.

 

[Sleepy]

I can't remember the last time I saw Jack Wilshire play, yet the announcers were saying he is the second coming. Is he that good?

 

[Kyoufu]

lol we can't find Marveaux.

:/

 

[Wessiej]

Trolled again haha

My lucky week. It's good that we got an English commentator this season on Dutch tv for the PL I guess.

 

[GQman2121]

I don't understand making the strongest team in the world even stronger AND not taking them to the fucking bank. Barca have all that Qatar Foundation money and the player has years remaining on his contract. Fleece them!!!

 

[offshore]

Did they just say we can't find our replacement sub for Ameobi? lolololol

 

[Ushojax]

lol Marveaux has gone AWOL

 

[Salvadora]

I don't understand making the strongest team in the world even stronger AND not taking them to the fucking bank. Barca have all that Qatar Foundation money and the player has years remaining on his contract. Fleece them!!!

It happened with Cesc as well. Go get fucked Barcelona.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Lucas was uncharacteristically mediocre

Wasn't this his first game for Liverpool since his injury?

 

[Manager]

dat player tunnel ass
