Klopp fumes at Burnley tactics: It's like wrestling

Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp was furious at Burnley's tackles during their 2-0 win and said "it's like we're going 10 to 15 years backwards."

Wolves 0-1 Spurs at 75’. I got back from the gym fifteen minutes ago and as soon as I get comfortable Wolves have the sort of breakaway you see maybe once every five matches. Completely blew it. Lloris made a decent save but nothing spectacular.

Bergwijn just made the kind of play any fan could point to and say, “This is why I watch soccer.” Sheer brilliance technically, creatively, artistically. Of course that bum Harry Kane blew the follow up, but that was awe inspiring.

Final score Wolves 0-1 Spurs. Good soccer.

 

[LaJollaLion]

Ole for some reason doesn't start Sancho again.....it's as if he wants to make his job harder. Varane is clearly needed in the back as well as Maguire is stumbling around and needs cover. Mind boggling to spend that money and not use it....LuKaku singed after both starts for Chelsea today. Greenwood is your #9, f--k Martial's feelings at this point.

 

[LionJim]

Arsenal 0-2 Chelsea at 35’. Gunners playing like shite.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

James finishes a nice scoring drive to put Chelsea up 2-0 in the first half

It was nice but Arsenal should have made a better tackle there. Zero reason for that to have ended in a goal.

 

[LionJim]

Arsenal 0-2 Chelsea at the half. Arsenal is going to have big-time problems scoring this year. Chelsea is clearly the better side. <shrugs>

Traore was a handful for Spurs, but miraculously they prevailed.

I didn’t see Son today. Did I simply miss him?

Wasn’t involved much at all. Spurs had trouble moving the ball upfield.

I just checked: Kane replaced Son at 72’. I joined the game at around 65’.

Going to be a long season, my friend. Also, Rog is the best. True passion for the game. Loved his sit-down with Arsene some months back.

 

[Grant Green]

Don't we have a Villian in this thread? I've always thought Danny Ings was an underrated player. What a goal!

He’s on with Joe at 7:55 Monday mornings. He did a great job today; I was able to use his highlights to explain to my wife why I’m so into soccer. Very impressive today.

That game was a microcosm of Traore’s game. Runs by everyone. Doesn’t score.

So his missing the breakaway was totally in character?

 

[rudedude]

And word is Spurs may put in a bid for Traore as Nuno likes his former player.

Wow, didn't know we had so many EPL fans over here. Gonna have to bookmark this thread.

I about spilt my water when I saw this goal today. Really impressive finish. Ings is a great signing for Villa. I'm a big Everton supporter and would've loved for them to give him a look back in 2018 when he was going out on loan with Southampton, but obviously the rivalry between Liverpool and Everton meant they had no chance. Always liked Ings. 22 EPL goals just two years ago. So underrated.

Your favorite team Ryan?

Diehard Everton supporter. I've seen them play 4x now. Once in the states for a preseason match, then three times in England. My last trip was four or five years ago. Then my three-year old was born, so that's kinda slowed me down a bit, but we'll take the boys over there to see a game in the future, no doubt.

My wife played college soccer, so she enjoys it, too.

If any of you get the opportunity to make a trip, I highly suggest it.

Very good sir.

Thank you!

There is also a 'favorite' premier poll where you can vote for them here.

Nice, I'll check it out. My last trip over there we did six matches in 10 days. Was so much fun bouncing between London, Liverpool and Mancheter. We went the second week of December, when they play matches everyday, so we had an absolute blast. Saw Everton play twice on that trip, including an 88th minute winner over Arsenal under the lights at Goodison Park.

One of the most fun nights of my life. I drank in those pubs outside the stadium until they kicked us out. All the fans over there loved that we were American and supported Everton instead of some of the bigger clubs. They literally bought us drinks the entire night.

I've also been to Stamford Bridge. Forgot to charge my phone the night before, so it was dead. Didn't get any pictures. Drank too much that day, too, obviously haha.

If you're wanting to go to a real Football match, head to Glasgow and go see Celtic and Rangers

A London man left 2 Arsenal tickets on his dash and someone broke in and left 2 more!

Kane says he is staying at Spurs “this summer”. Oh, ok.

 

[TheGLOV]

Players Liverpool Should Sign This Summer

 

[rudedude]

So Kane staying with Spurs because Man City is close to a deal for Ronaldo. EPL is a farce with these guys buying everyone they can. May be time for an EPL salary cap.

I’m reading “done deal” for Ronaldo to MC.
