Arsenal defending their way to a goal down early. Cech looked to be going for a punch around his own head level which means he was way behind the play. He's looking shaky these days.

WBA!!!!!

With Livermore and Chadli it's like watching the Spurs reserves!

3-1 West Brom.

Wenger may have just sawed off the very thin limb he was out on.

As much as I want Arsene gone now, that defense is a joke. Someone please show a gif of the 3-1. There were 8 outside players+keeper inside the 6y box and then another around the 12y. 10 players and you don´t get the ball. At least disturb the opponent (outnumbered!) as much so they don´t can head it straight on goal. That´s just on the players. And Xhaka for 40+mil should be considered one of the biggest disappointments of this season.

Aresenal players look like Leicester players a month ago. They're playing to get their manager fired. They'll be shockingly good with anybody else in charge as an additional FU.

Arsenal losing 3-1 to a Pulis side on two goals from corners and a goalkeeping mistake is the most Arsenalololol thing ever. it’s almost like an elaborate piece of self-parody performance art.

Pretty goal for my Toffees at 8' - Barkley to Davies out wide to Calvert-Lewin. All young 'uns.

I do think there's something special developing here, even if Lukaku is gone.

Really nice goal on a header by Troy Deeny off a corner kick. The problem for Deeny is it was a Palace corner.

Tom Huddleston just sent off for Hull. Went in high on Gueye and did not get any of the ball. Absolutely a yellow but a little harsh to give him a straight red.

No Kane, no problems so far as Tottenham up 2-0 over Southampton at the break--Eriksen and Alli (PK) with the markers.

Harsh yellow (or even foul) on Firmino for a recovery challenge on Silvia, shortly after Can escapes a yellow.

Good end to end stuff so far

@teddykgb any idea on the boos for Milner? I can't recall anything he did to draw ire in the past year, IIRC he didn't get booed in this fixture last year

Not calling Wijnaldum getting pulled down there is more egregious IMO. How the hell is that not given?

Otamendi at least didn't lunge in on Mané

'Pool coming on now in the past few minutes. Fernandinho is vulnerable, but Countinho isn't seeing enough of the ball to push the issue.

Liverpool have to get their left side straightened out. Fernandinho can be exploited playing out of position, but Sterling is looking very threatening out there, too. Can and Wijnaldum need to sort out that responsibility.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a couple quick cards to start the half. Oliver has to wrestle back control of this match before Toure decapitates someone.
