Well I don't use United players in my fantasy team! #TrueBlue
So at half time it's Mark Halsey 1-1 Manchester City.

Suso and Sahin are silk.
Suso's first touch is perhaps the best I've seen in a Liverpool player since 2006. Not even exaggerating

We've basically built a team around technique, and it looks lovely.
We just need to be more devastating going forwards. We're 2 nil up but Suso's been more of a hole player, and Sterling's struggled to penetrate. Want to see Assaidi soon, think he could do some real damage and help wrestle our goal difference back.
The ball just sticks to his feet.

Completely agree, it's unbelievable.

He's similar to Jelavic, not in their playing style, but that I thought they were both really risky buys. I mean Mirallas is fast enough to put any defender on their ass, but from what I've seen of him he bottles it in front of goal. Not so, in a blue shirt.

Great call.
Would have never done it though, seemed pretty risky since Jelavic hadn't scored much so far. I got two Everton players in too but picked the wrong ones (Baines and Pienaar). I'm spending 8-12 points every week now to improve my squad but must be too reactive and not pro-active enough or something, it's not been paying off so far.

So, Suarez
1 good finish
1 great finish which came about from sniffing around like a terrier
Should have had an assist
Won a blatant penalty
Missed an easy one-on-one
Got clattered in the back of the head
Clattered one of them 1 second after coming back on
Nutmegged someone
Yep, that's our Luis alright

If you spend 8-12 points on players, you'd better be making sure that they're either guaranteed returns, or players that are shooting up in value and you can't afford to miss out on.
I learned last year not to spend so many points on transfers. I spent like 30 points on transfers and ended up 10 points from the top spot in my IRL buddy league.
Hahahah so true.

Those balls were coming in between his knee-height and shin height, from a height of about 8 metres. Every time, he's stopped it dead. Absurd
He needs to be signed to a long-term deal ASAP. I wouldn't be surprised to see him become the team's best player in a couple years. (Or of course he could flame out, but I have a hard time seeing that happen.)
Still another half of football, bud. Reading have a tendency to fall apart late on.
Like we do.
I'm not worried. He'll sign on. He wanted to come to Liverpool, he's getting STARTED, having never had more than 5-10 minutes in a senior shirt for us with Kenny or Roy.
I like him as a player so far. Hasn't had much to do today.

Wow horrible kick from Neuer lol.

We have quality players but it rarely shows on the pitch. I don't know why. :/
The young players are picking up the system quick. Carragher said something in the first episode of Being Liverpool that piqued my interest. As a player in the time of career he is in (hopefully the end of it) he won't be able to change the way he plays, but will pick up a few things. The young players are easier to adapt and are looking to really show they can do it.

It rarely shows in the first half. It's amazing how bad we've been in the first half of pretty much every game so far.

Mike Jones: "No penalty."
Pathetic.
Both heels clipped, a hip in the back and an elbow in the shoulder. Abysmal refereeing, no excuse and no way of pretending that its not biased against Suarez tbh
That's good to hear.
Reading held Chelsea, who have Hazard, Mata, Torres, etc. for a good stretch of their match.
Yeah I don't understand why. We should be beasting this game.
Meh, I guess.
Still, we should be winning these games. Even if it's just the first half.
I liked that a lot. He seemed very self-aware and analytical. Looks like he's already thinking of a future in managing.

Just seen Jelavic's goals. First one was an absolutely class finish. How much did he cost again? £6m or something?
It's all Heynckes fault! Pizarro doesnt deserve a starting spot and Gustavo is absolutely useless in these types of games.
Aye, it's wonderful. There was also that interview with Suso on .tv when he joined up for pre-season training where he flat out said his game is perfectly suited to Rodgers, and that's how he wants to play football.
Wisdom's been solid defensively but lacking offensively, which is only natural. Kind of how Kelly wasn't really grasping the offensive positioning against WBA, but looked really solid against City.

Makes sense. It's my first complete FF season so still trying to figure out the proper balance, played it a bit at the end of last season but didnt' dare to spend any extra point on transfers and ended up with an "outdated" team.
Been trying a riskier approach this season, wanted to jump on that Everton bandwagon before it derailed. I think my first mistake was loading up on Reading and Chelsea players at the start of the season since they had two games in one gameweek, took a while to get rid of them. And also my blind faith in certain players like Suarez. =p
Great stuff from Suarez again, the jinx has been lifted.
