Nas! Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Zaza's worked hard. Despite his lack of goals, I kind of like him. So hard to find centre forwards. I hope he works it out and pops a few in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philokles Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 The second yellow was justified, but the first wasn't a dive. It wasn't a penalty either in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaha actually ducked down into Cresswell's hand so that it would hit his face. But I don't care about that or anything right now except that we finally bloody won a game.

Rorshach Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 I almost didn't get to watch any football today (just the end of the Palace - West Ham game), owing to celebrating my father's birthday at an Ethiopian restaurant. Which, as it happens (both the birthday and the restaurant) does take presedence over football. It is known. Reading on the internet afterwards tells me that I may indeed have been misjudging Maarten Stekelenburg before this season. I saw him as our new backup, and awaited the coming no. 1. Instead, Stekelenburg has been solid so far, and seemingly spectacular today. I am indeed pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hung on to win while City and Spurs dropped points and they know Liverpool and Utd can't both win. Agreed. Arsenal played pretty well too but made just enough mistakes to allow Swansea to stay in it. Walcott should have had 5 goals today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I don't see him changing the team too much - maybe 3 changes at the maximum. I just want to see more of Lucas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. He needs to play enough that when we need him, he'll perform. One game out of every 5-7 makes it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The save from De Bruyne's strike from distance was incredible. The penalties were awful though, far too easy for him! Aguero never used to miss. I prefer players to pick a spot and hit it. Also, credit to Koeman's tactics. The defensive organisation was superb. Frustrating game for me but I really enjoy watching Pep's football.

Iskaral Pust Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Harsh red for Xhaka, more goals for Allen and Nadli -- both playing with something to prove, and perhaps found their level -- clinical from Lukaku and great by Stekelenburg but wasteful by City, surprisingly wasteful by Benteke after recent form, utterly hapless Hull. The late game today and the game tomorrow combine for strange picks for broadcast. I know the early Saturday and Monday games are the big broadcast events this week, but odd choices for the other slots unless they have to fit in a certain number of games by all clubs. Liverpool have just had a lot of fixtures around Christmas moved for TV broadcast. 8 of their 10 PL games in December-January will now be broadcast in the UK, but the team will have to cope with some shonky scheduling and short recovery periods.

What's even more harsh is it's a 3 game suspension rather than a single game that he would have gotten if he was denying a clear goal scoring opportunity. Really sucks.

Calibandar Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Stekelenburg certainly made up for the mistake that led Holland to lose to France on Monday. A little late dude, but good to see you're getting back to your old level. Otherwise, looking forward to watching Liverpool vs United when I come home from work tomorrow.
