Premier League Gameweek 2 fixtures (18th - 20th August 2018)

[Hoof the ball]

On the Palace game, it's going to be a tough one. Palace are always tough for big teams at home. Liverpool won't run away with this one.

"You can quote me on that"
Please don't though, because, I could totally be wrong....

 

[Damien]

You just can't help yourself can you?

Anti-jinx: 6-0 to Palace, Benteke with all of them.

You'll be fine.

They've just shown the highlights of Crystanbul. Good times.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Crystanbul was a glorious night.

 

[duffer]

Palace away is a tough fixture but I think Liverpool will stuff them.

Too early in the season, confidence is high and the nerves wont be there.

 

[Neo_Mufc]

Nev and Carra at it

 

[Ciro]

Nev and Carra at it

I love it. Great to have them back together. I can see both sides of the argument

 

[One Night Only]

Nev and Carra at it

They're great! I want them to do a type of idiot abroad programme, would be hilarious, but also quite informative too I'd reckon

 

[arnie_ni]

Nev and Carra at it

Nev absolutely right. He has to implement his system and see who is cut out for it. Those that aren't will get shipped out.

No point trying it for 2 games then packing it in and trying again next year. You wont know who is worth keeping

Tbf since Andy Gray got the boot. Sky have done a number with them 2.

They're 2 popular figures for 2 of the largest teams in the country who pretty much hated each other but have mellowed out and take the mick out of each other for great entertainment purposes.

Nev takes a pop at the Powerpoint slide and Carra goes you could have used it at Valencia

 

[Klopper76]

Urban myth that we lost the league at Selhurst Park. Even if we'd won City only had to win two home games against Villa and West Ham to wrap it up.

We lost the league at Anfield.

Agreed.

It's that "people need to adapt to the Premier League" nonsense that annoys me the most. No, that's not footballing evolution. Footballing and coaching evolution is finding new and better ways to perform better than the archetype methods, tactics and training.

 

[klsv]

Nev and Carra at it

They should manage a team together.

 

[Alvaro Maestre]

I dont know if its the negativity surrounding the club, but Im starting to feel like LVG last season at United.

 

[Liver_bird]

Huge test this.
Sakho and Tomkins record together is excellent.
Sakho is very underrated

If you had won at Palace then City would have felt under a bit more pressure for their final games. Chelsea game was the devastating one for you with the difference in GD but the game against Palace topped it off and that was when Rodgers conceded the title and Suarez cried so suggests they felt that was where it was lost.

 

[Bastian]

Come on Palace, disrupt the media wankfest please.

 

[Frank Grimes]

Liverpool will win this comfortably, 4-1.

 

[KGBhoy]

5-0 to Liverpool. They look to be in top shape now. They might run out of steam later, but they'll be stuffing teams for a while at the beginning of the season.

 

[Oga on top.]

He was injured during the World Cup.

Only for the first two games no? I may be wrong.
On topic though, I fancy a Van Dijk goal tonight, wjll have a cheeky tenner on it.

 

[VP]

Is Selhurst Park the best place to play football in England? Sounds like a proper atmosphere.

 

[VeevaVee]

Salah did pretty poor with that situation

 

[Irrational.]

Palace have started showing more courage and a willingness to play football. If we were playing Liverpool at home you can guarantee we'd probably be pinned back inside our own box already.

 

[bleedred]

easy win for Liverpool. The selhurst park voodoo is overrated. They have won their previous 4 outings there. 4-0 again.

 

[VanGaalyTime]

Have 3-1 Liverpool with Salah and Mane scoring. Can't see beyond them but I'd be happy to be wrong.

 

[Irrational.]

Fecking Keita is so good. Annoyingly so. Hope he gets sent off as he's a bit of a hot head.

 

[Klopper76]

This'll be a tough game.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Is Selhurst Park the best place to play football in Europe? Sounds like a proper atmosphere.

Surely the Etihad? If you got to a match you have the whole place to yourself.

 

[Paolo Di Canio]

I love it. Great to have them back together. I can see both sides of the argument

It goes to show you can gob on a child on camera but if you bring in ratings all is forgotten

 

[Irrational.]

Why are Liverpool never punished for cynically stopping counters? It's incredible how often they get away with it.

Their whole game is based around that and they are vulnerable to the counter. Sadly they always get away with stopping them.

 

[Irrational.]

Wan Bissaka is awesome. One we should be looking at to replace Valencia.

That Gomez one was a yellow imo, stupid foul.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Wan Bissaka looks quality.

 

[Sigma]

Wan Bissaka looks quality.

Every time I've seen him he's been great.

 

[Lash]

Came to say the first bit, we have Dalot for the second.

Before the counter starts, or during the counter?

He's been very good so far.

 

[Irrational.]

Feck off Salah

That was absolutely marvellous from Keita.

 

[VP89]

Keita has the sex.

 

[RobinLFC]

Keita is breathtaking.
