Premier League 2022/2023

[Birdy]

Milner at 38 or so still playing a big-6 derby

No wonder why this Liverpool team sucks atm

 

[Birdy]

Salah seems finished, looks more and more like the contract he signed is his retirement paycheck.

That certainly was the case the first 3 months of the season

But yeah, might be more general situation. He is 30 soon anyway, no one will give him another big contract unless stupid

 

[KingLeo10]

Liverpool are abysmal beyond belief

 

[Messi983]

Mudryk on

 

[jamrock]

What a terrible game.

 

[serghei]

That is some great technique on small spaces by Mudryk.

I know LL isn't the same level of parity as PL (but the difference isn't as astronomical either, as some suggest), but imagine Barca finishing outside of top 4 in the modern era. There would be riots

I know Barca has had some terrible European beatdowns last 5-6 years due to systemic factors, but we are still spoiled AF

Xavi is likely going to win as many leagues come May (in 1.5 years) as Klopp did over 7 years at Pool

Barca are in reconstruction now, and incipient phase at that, but when they have top teams, they are a difficult league team to face as a rival, because they just control possession so well.

Even less then great Barca teams would frustrate the hell out of English teams used to play this end-to-end frantic style.

A bit similar to how that slow ass EV side beat Chelsea 3-0 at home, United 3-0 at home, and Liverpool 3-0 at home.

Mudryk on

Looking good so far.

 

[serghei]

Looking good so far.

raw, but some serious skills and pace on the guy.

 

[Birdy]

Mudryk looks amazing.

He came on and Chelsea look 10 times better

How are you gonna finish outside of top4 in a 2 team (or 3 team league at absolute best).

The mid table teams in the Prem are spending as much as Barca and Madrid. Of course it's far harder and not comparable.

 

[te amo barca]

This game has appalling quality wtf

Same ridiculous take by a notorious Liverpool hater, and covert RM fan

No dude winning LL is 100 times easier than winning EPL that has Pep in there and another 5 top teams
Get a grip for once

Let's not kid ourselves, Barca, bar some outlier season, is a top 4 team in EPL easily. If anything, playing in the EPL constantly, they get used to playing more physical stuff, and with their technical superiority, is not unlikely they would establish a domination such as current City.
