jol in

NBS started one, noone liked it.
No swears & don't 'sit' on the floor (The Premier League 2015/16)

Mertesacker AND Koscielny out for Arsenal...

i suppose gomez fluked that performance too

tbrr skrtel was enormous there, rarely seen him play so well. liverpool look seriously hard to score against

eleven men in a line across the box will do that tbf but yeah looked solid

deems my dear fella if spurs defended like that for one game you'd be a changed man

clyne and gomez both looked v good tonight. quite an encouraging start for liverpool this year. prob should have won that game.

absolute state of thierry henry on sky btw - he's got even worse. he makes alan shearer look like terry wogan..

clyne is nifty

idk what gomez's add-ons are but i reckon we stand to make several million one way or another from this continued level of performance. lol i guess that makes liverpool my 'premiership team' haha. pandemic all is forgiven

emre can is blossoming as well. really like that midfield with him and milner.

the only bum note was jordon ibe basically being completely and i mean completely useless, like almost frighteningly so

benteke prob should have scored. he does look generally good though.

prob but unreal save

Decent start to the season

OK use this thread, this is getting embarrassing.
