2/11-2/12 Weekend

[SocrManiac]

Hull feeding Sanchez in their own box and trickling a cross through Cech's box... end to end at 7:30AM!

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Arsenal should have 3 or 4 goals already.

 

[SocrManiac]

After all that, the breakthrough is bullshit.

 

[67YAZ]

Markovic is miserable. When he came to Liverpool he had a good right foot and speed to burn. Today, when he's not on the ground, he's being dispossessed. Ugh

 

[SocrManiac]

I'm genuinely surprised there is debate over the handball goal. I just turn it around- would a defender sliding across the box be penalized if a cross hits his arm held above his head? Absolutely. It's gotta work both ways.

 

[Schnerres]

Darmstadt (last by a few points) leads Dortmund 2-1 with 15min to play.
Would be their third win in 20 matches.

Probably the whole Premier League hopes Dortmund misses the CL and the Europa League, so they can buy someone from their team (mostly Reus, Auba, Guerreiro, Schürrle - I doubt they would sell their 20yo or younger guys). They might storm to a 4-2 win now...

 

[candylandriots]

Marko Arnautovic has a tramp stamp.

 

[67YAZ]

Liverpool starting their best 10 and Lucas in place of Lovren. With Tottenham starting Kane and Son...I'm just expecting to swear at the TV a lot.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Man, Liverpool really needed the first goal in this game. Mane provides it.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And Mane again!

 

[coremiller]

Mane's pace makes such a difference in Liverpool's attack.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Almost finished the hat trick there.

EDIT: Denied twice by Lloris.

 

[coremiller]

Poch needs to change things up. Eriksen needs to play deeper and more centrally, or they need another center mid on the field. A midfield 2 against Liverpool's press is not working. They are getting outnumbered and drawn out of position.

 

[coremiller]

Ben Davies is proving he's not good enough to play at this level. He's been shockingly awful.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Opposing teams score from this position about 90% of the time against LFC....
EDIT: Whew.

 

[Cellar-Door]

West Ham gives away 2 points. Should have been 2 back of the 8th spot, now 5 back in 10th.

 

[coremiller]

Spurs have been much better in the second half, but of course Liverpool no longer need to take the initiative.

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

Good showing today. If only we can play this way against the lower table teams.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Compared to most games where Liverpool are trying to hold a lead for an extended period, this second half has been delightfully uneventful.

 

[SocrManiac]

How are Leicester City this crap?

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

I assume I'm not the first to point out the Burnley's stunning tie with Chelsea was the result of a come-from-behind goal from Brady. #12, Brady.
