Live Match Discussion 2017/18

[Alan]

They've just repeated the goal, Monreal was the one 'challenging' him

That's... what? That's simply not true. Or even close. Monreal was marking the zone Okazaki was in. Lacazette was marking Vardy at the start and then he moves into the zone that should have been occupied by Elneny/Xhaka.

 

[Tredman]

As a matter of interest why do you dislike Leicester City?

Not entirely sure, but probably to do with Steve Walsh.

There is no way arsenal would purposely set up to have Lacazette marking Vardy

understandable.

understandable.

It was tough when they had Ranieri as I liked him, I'm glad they now have a thoroughly unlikeable manager again

If they're setting up completely zonally then they wouldn't be matching anyone in against any particular opponent, then it'd leave Leicester with free reign to match up or overload wherever they choose.

At some point I'll tell my very childish 1992 Craig Shakespeare story that involves me, him, Paul Williams and a boating lake

 

[James]

Watford 1 Liverpool 0

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Another masterclass by Moreno for the second goal. Utter shite.

 

[Alan]

I can't believe Klopp is still playing the fraud.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Seems an odd choice, spend all last season playing someone out of position there, sign a new proper left back this summer, play the original moron anyway.

 

[wanderer89]

Robertson isn't even in the bench is he?

 

[Alan]

Not listed on ESPN. Maybe injured?

That was my thinking but my Liverpool supporting cousin didn't say anything about it. I just assumed he'd been left out.

 

[Jack Regan]

Two Gomes clangers gifting Liverpool the lead.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

They didn't seem to use Robertson much in the preseason games either from what I saw.

 

[Alan]

Watford won't have any healthy players left after today!

 

[Nando]

That is gloriously shite.

 

[machin05]

Fulham down to 10 men after 30 seconds!

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Shelvey rightly sent off. As acts of stupidity goes, that is up there with the best.
