'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

Hai Beeb can we have a "That's what 28m gets you!" for Arnautovic? Thx

Well impressed with Robertson so far. Lovely first touch, lovely cross

Yeah he's looking good. Liverpool should've been up 2-0 at least.

now the fear

nervous.gif

jesus thank god that's over

Liverpool grinding out the one nil

weird decision not to start Salah

All I keep hearing on 5 live is how much Palace have upped their game from last week's performance, when the truth is we made them look shit!

weird decision not to start Salah

presumably resting people for tuesday night which is a bigger game i suppose. strange to drop trent aa roadwatch as well.

luckily moreno will be fit and firing on tues

Palace weren't any better than last week. Difference was last week they thought they'd get a result, which they couldn't. Today was just holding Liverpool back 90 minutes. Though Benteke should've buried that one chance.

Matip had a great chance early on. I guess hes not used to heading towards the goal! Thought it was solid from Liverpool today, didnt shirk when they got the goal although maybe lacked the cutting edge in the final 3rd

matip is like he's cursed, he has near misses so often.

Barcelona have informed Liverpool that they have until Sunday evening to change their mind on Coutinho or it will be withdrawn.

please don't withdraw the offer we instantly rejected, stop, we can't take this hardball.

lol

Arsenal have been really poor. 85% possession in the second half but almost no creativity.

Fam out

It was poor yeah. No idea when around the box.

arsenal and liverpool seem p similar this season

Don't be so hard on yourself

Liverpool's got way more creativity, even without Coutinho.

Steven Gerrard & Martin Keown arguing with Graham Poll? Like Deja Vu! Good chat here on correct offside call vs Arsenal today. #STOARS pic.twitter.com/CkEcvQoa7y

Boom!

Detailed updates please some of us are doing well to get even this text based resource on our phones atm

Wanyama and Dier both in the team. Trippier starts. So does Bakayoko. Unclear what formation Chelsea are playing.

Courtois, Christensen, Luiz, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Kante, Bakayoko, Alonso, Moses, Willian, Morata.

I know they've got injuries and suspensions but that's absurdly defensive. Take it as a compliment I suppose.

Deems, Terriers bossing Toon around in a scruffy game, but well-deserved lead through Mooy. Over.

wrong thread deems

Not a good performance, marred by some of the ponderous and nervy possession in the 1st half. But can't argue with the result and Mooy's tidy goal. It is nice to have a German manager who is capable of keeping consecutive clean sheets.

It was scruffy and nervy, but I never doubted HT would bag the points. Newcastle are going to have a *really* tough season.

Loved Wagner's victory lap afterwards.

That was a fantastic goal from Mooy though, both the move the led to it and the shot itself.

Conte's in a suit, we're gonna lose.

XP I'm getting spoken commentary of the real match from a German next to me who has the rte app

He is wearing a mayo jersey.

ABK

Morata misses a sitter

Poch out

stunning free kick from Marcos Alonso

unsaveable pretty much

Dier went in for a tackle and managed to miss the ball and take out two Chelsea players instead.

someone is definitely getting sent off

bergkamp-esque bit of skill from alli before kane hit the post there

spurs are all over chelsea in a really impressive way, despite losing

yeah they've been the better side by far

Vertonghen could have been off there though (although I think a yellow was just about right)

Sounds useless

I mean congrats and all but

eriksen assist vs chelsea again :)

wait do own goals have assists

Is that 2 0

Info would be appreciated

Aha I c

I have a mbm now although it's made the power surge in this term!inal

Poor old Batshit.

Batshuayi (on the pitch about a minute) headed into his own goal from an Eriksen fk after a really stupid Bakayoko foul
