Big Rom needs to read up on his xG. They got 1 more than they should have!

Alan Shearer: 'Laughable' Liverpool are no better under Jurgen Klopp than they were under Brendan Rodgers.

Because there is no Suarez in Liverpool now, no one to pull the team. And in defense they were awful under Rogers too.

They havent addressed any defensive issues. Not to mention the keepers. Still wondering wtf was the Mignolet in the stands stuff vs us..not that they needed a keeper in that game tho.

Something about stones in glass houses

Two year driving ban for Rooney and a massive £170 fine.

Palace are pointless after 5 games, are their survival hopes already gone?

Just under even money at the bookies.

Garth Crooks appears to have lost what little of his mind he has, picking Matip in his team of the week.

We were ****ed for the league as soon as we didn't sign a cb and now lost clyne for half the season. Not to mention mignolet is still our keeper. I can see us making a deep run in the cl though.

Hot takes from the weekend:

Ozil should never start "Big" away games
Arsenal should have sold Sanchez and just run with an athletic front 3, while hoping that one of Iwobi/Nelson make a jump to an elite player (or buy Lemar, or someone similar).

Man United and Man City are miles ahead of the rest of the league. Their depth is just incredible. Guys like Martial and Sane don't even start for these teams.
Everton have solidified ~7th place, but will just be ****ed against the top 6 for the next 3 years with the window they had.

I'd bet heavily against Everton finishing 7th.
City are the obv best team in the league. Utd have had a very cushy start faced teams in 13,14,15,17,18 position and while you can only beat what's in front of you some of their scorlines have flattered them somewhat. I'd bet against them finishing top 2.

Martial is a 'starter' for them as well or at least should be in the same way miki was last year. Still funny mourinho benching him for the opening quarter.

I can accept that United might be running a bit hot, but do we think Chelsea or one of pool/spurs/arsenal are finishing above them? I think Chelsea/Spurs/Pool/Arsenal all have glaring flaws.

Other hot take: Rafa will take Newcastle to a top half finish.

I wonder how much Newcastle's place in the table at the end of the season would influence Ashley's decision to sell.

He'll probably think he overspent during the summer if they finish top half.
