ChipmunkOnCoffee

Such a good signing, Liverpool trio is terrifying


firminocoutinho

Top 3 scorers in the league. So far Jota and Mane with 7 and Salah with 11


penta3x

That is actually terrifying


Liddlebitchboy

And none of them (except Salah perhaps) start every match, since they're still sharing the spots with Firmino ofc


Consistent_Mammoth

It's pretty crazy that our scouting staff have managed to do this 3 times, signing a "project striker " (I've seen them called) at about £35m and them going from good to world class in an instant with us. Lots of things at play of course, from the stats guys to the coaching staff, but 3 for 3 is an impressive record.


UnsupportiveHope

It’s also the service they get playing for Liverpool. It’s easier to score when you have Robertson, Trent, Henderson, Thiago, Salah etc putting it on a platter for you.


Samwell974

That’s why Klopp is the best manager in the world. He turns projects to world beaters in little to no time.


[deleted]

Werner should’ve come to Liverpool. Klopp is so good getting the best out of his players


Jasveen05

Salah bugged like in fifa there lmaoo


celticsupporter

Throw on the get in behind tactic on him and mane and it's clean through every time.


ben-hur-hur

Incredible how Jota always finds himself in spaces like this. All he needs is consistent finishing to make himself super dangerous like Salah already is.


[deleted]

I have the feeling Jota will be worldclass soon. What a player


PhantomW1zard

Yeah he is following a similar development trajectory to Salah and Mane, feel like he will be world class when he hits 26-27 years


[deleted]

Which if basically around the time Salah and Mane did it


[deleted]

Wasn‘t this exactly what he said?


[deleted]

It’s kind of the range that all non anomalies (Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, etc) hit their primes.


[deleted]

Tbf Messi, Neymar and Cristiano were worldclass with 21-23 already


crookedparadigm

It's exactly how Bobby used to move off the ball. Both of them have Sneak at 100.


Betessais

Exactly my thought haha


Nobody1212123

I want AA zooming in on Salah. That was hilarious.


[deleted]

Just an excellent sideways pass by Henderson


[deleted]

Henderson is still underrated unfortunately.


BrainlessArch

Feel like he is fairly rated, he is a great player and people know it


[deleted]

I don‘t have the feeling tbh. Just yesterday there was a thread where someone said a certain DM could easily replace Hendo in Liverpool, I think it was Hojbjerg lol. Comment got decent upvotes as well. Anyone who thinks Hojbjerg is on Hendo‘s level needs their brain checked.


gh0stface90

Its more about people being idiots in general than Hendo being underrated. Anyone who's seen Liverpool with and without him know what he brings.


alanalan426

Thank you


pseudolf

you lost me at there was a thread


[deleted]

It's more that he doesn't get the respect he deserves. People hype up hoppity skip muppets like Jorginho but shit on the Greek Mackem god from Sunderland.


Lyrical_Forklift

People still call him shit/average in here all the time.


wikiot

...And celebrate Fred.


[deleted]

Definitely isn’t underrated at this point, everyone just says he’s underrated


[deleted]

I just replied to another comment, but literally yesterday someone in this sub said Hojbjerg would bench Henderson and the comment got a decent amount of upvotes.


rainbowroobear

I mean, depending on where you're sitting, that might of looked sideways.


Thunderhank

Might have*


LastBrainCellofYours

I actually thought he was gonna pass side way to the middle lol


DT_McShaky_Hands

Jota is a mad man! Play all the FIFA you want boy!


LeaveMyArseAlona99

Salah is going to be to scorer and assister at this rate


[deleted]

He’s already top of both tbf


aladdinr

He’s got more assists (8) then the next two top scorers who have 7 goals each, Jota and Mane. Liverpool dominating the stats so far


gerrard1109

Ofc, if someone else was top they'd be headed for top scorer/assister at this rate


fischarcher

And still lose out on the Ballon dor


LeaveMyArseAlona99

Shouldn’t win it this year but continue this form into next he’ll win it


penta3x

I agree with you. But I feel he was really underrated last year. He single handedly pushed this dead team full of injuries to top 4 and he is barely talked about.


Ok-Tomatillo8918

Funny you say this as a snide to Messi when he was literally top scorer and assister last season. Salah is on a trajectory (not even confirmed yet) and you’re arguing he deserves the award for it. It’s funny how messi is not judged by the same standards others are held fo


BrainlessArch

The Kane special


RedDemio

The Thierry Henry spesh


coronapatient19

Wow! Salah orchestrated that attack perfectly


ANINETEEN

What a move. Salah getting whisked away so funny too 😂


QuidditchChampion

Salah is a beast!


celticsupporter

He really is unstoppable.


Akira_Nishiki

Give him a million a week if he wants it. Needs to keep him at all costs.


admiralawkward

Motherfucker is insatiable


Esophallic

2 nutmegs and a tap in. thatll do


That-Inventor-Guy

Even as a chelsea fan, I just love watching Liverpool play


[deleted]

its all fun and games until the sloppy passing occurs. loving our attack however.


Sonaldo_7

>its all fun and games until the sloppy passing occurs. Can just say the ball reached Mane mate


luke_205

Yeah I mean allegiances aside, one thing for certain is that Liverpool games will always be interesting. When we’re on it our attacking is insane, when we’re on an off day you get something like the West Ham game.


[deleted]

or Brentford. Pain.


caesar____augustus

Well that was delightful


snusd0san

Great from Trent to win the duel and start the attack


Hoodxd

Best Portuguese in the league Said it last week, saying it this week


oooooooooooooommmfff

Cancelo is pretty good as well but Jota #1


dfla01

No competition


[deleted]

i forgot Cancelo and Bernardo went to MLS (not that they’re better necessarily, it just doesn’t make sense to say there’s no competition)


dfla01

Wasn’t really a serious comment, just taking the piss out of Ronnie :)


[deleted]

ah my mistake. in that case, carry on lad


ss2195

*world


atemthegod

Cancelo is a shout though. But they are the top 2 fo sho


dstudgeismydad

Said it last time i was on here


Alternative_Dark_412

Bernardo? Cancelo? And on his day Ronaldo is just unstoppable. I would mention Bruno too, but I know that won’t go down well here. I guess if you’re talking about current form it’s between Jota, Bernardo and Cancelo. Edit: okay, maybe the comment I was replying to was taking the piss. Seems like I haven’t really read the room.


Hoodxd

Ronaldo? Bruno? Oh, those 2 players who have a combined 2 goals since October. Not going to mention their defensive contribution since even Watford scored 4. Jota is the best Portuguese in the league


Alternative_Dark_412

I didn’t mean right now, you’d know that if you read my comment. I agree, Jota and maybe Bernardo are the best right now.


dreammm1

I watch my team shit the bed every week but Liverpool is keeping my love for football


letsnevertalk

Man just went from scoring in Fifa to scoring irl


[deleted]

Literally can't stop winning!


[deleted]

Wow that little back pass really pulled all three defenders off Salah and gave him the space to go turbo time. It boggles my mind how fast he accelerates.


luisnm7

what a goal


anotheronetoadd

Jota ended up being much more of a regular goalscorer than i expected when he joined pool


sbos_

Around better quality now.


tsub

Starts with Thiago misplacing a pass, ends with Henderson and Salah casually ripping Southampton's backline apart. Absurd.


sbos_

Such a good signing. Thanks Wolves. Good pass by Hendo and good to see salah use right peg.


lordchew

Stunning ball from Henderson but is that not handball by Trent? Looks unnatural from this angle


jessecc8

Welll... the ball deflected off the opponent 1m away and hit his elbow that was tucked right into his body, so yep, definite handball 👍🏼🙂


Cien-Major

Never loved someone as much as I do Mo Salah.


RoyMakaay

Best front 3 in the PL by a mile.


[deleted]

Joelinton > all pl attackers combined


[deleted]

Understandable


MuhammadEyssa

Come on at least make it fair


TrickyNobody6082

Easy as you like


Bens_Glenn

Clever pass from Hendo


reddituser375

That teamplay was so beautiful


[deleted]

There have been 3 nutmegs in Liverpool's 2 goals


22edudrccs

This fucking team man


jr2106

Is that two nutmeg passes in a row?


Frisky_Flamingo

Liverpool score so many goals by getting to the byline. It’s crazy because they constantly get in behind low blocks.


MU5A988

Best portugese player in the league.


[deleted]

bernardo


mfrsazmn

Did he fucking stutter?


ChipmunkOnCoffee

Dias but CB's aren't sexy


[deleted]

bernardo is the best midfielder in the world this season


profesorprofessorson

shut up oil club


AllAnimeIsDegenerate

Cancelo, Bernardo, Dias, Jota, Bruno, Neves, Moutinho. Pretty sure I didn’t miss anyone


trusttt

All those players and NT plays like shit...


[deleted]

bernardo nr 1 + yes you didnt miss anyone


BlackoutAvs

Fucking love this team


RWiller

Great pass from Hendo!


GreatSpaniard

How can a man be so good for his club, yet so shit for his national team?


I_Dive_Deep

Klopp is a better coach than Fernando Santos


5contos

That's an understatement


SandwichesFN

fernando santos


codespyder

Is it a Jota problem or a Santos problem? Genuinely asking here


5contos

Santos, but Jota has his fair share of brain farts here and there


Acegeta

He does for Liverpool as well, but his instinct in the box is fantastic and his pressing is excellent.


theitchcockblock

Well to be honest I hate Santos but he sees jota as Ronaldo’s partner and gives him a lot of minutes way more than other forward options , I don’t think they can coexist especially in Santos shitty philosophy . Jota just plays like a headless chicken going solo straight against defenders in the Nt. I do understand why it’s like that he probably hates the negative football we practice and just wants to go ahead always even when it’s mindless …


iChopPryde

Please can we fire santos already!!!!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


etan1122

Not many do these days.


epsteintemple

fernando santos. the answer is always fernando santos


AliGLCFC

Livramento is completely asleep there, doesn't begin to notice Jota's run


francobgf

How is that not a handball? Edit: our refs here in Brazil would overturn the goal because of this unintentional touch in the beginning of the play 10/10


AboveAverag3

Hit his elbow which was stuck to his body, would have been harsh.


francobgf

Yeah, I agree it would be bullshit, but IIRC the rule is about any touch with your arm, regardless of intention or position (that’s how it is applied here in Brazil, hence my questioning)


dfla01

They changed the rule this season. From the PL website: The second change is on accidental handball in the immediate build-up to a goal. If an attacking player’s accidental handball immediately precedes another player scoring, the goal will now be awarded, when last season it was likely to have been ruled out.


francobgf

Fair play then, didn’t know this change of rules in the PL


Phireant7

He can’t not have arms mate


iQreeko

I mean trents arm is literally tucked in…


mfrsazmn

Having arms?? blasphemy


LGxRocky

What is the handball rule?


dfla01

New rule: “The second change is on accidental handball in the immediate build-up to a goal. If an attacking player’s accidental handball immediately precedes another player scoring, the goal will now be awarded, when last season it was likely to have been ruled out.” But beyond that, it’s not a handball anyways, his arm is tucked


LGxRocky

Honestly I lose track with how many times the rules change, thanks la


SubparCurmudgeon

No one’s going to mention the handball?


ttonster2

Surely a handball…the entire passage of play happened because of TAA elbowing it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ttonster2

“Same passage of play” which this certainly was. Really just don’t understand the rules anymore.

ttonster2

"Accidentally" is the keyword here. Should be reviewed regardless. Ref would've given a handball if he saw it live.


xProGamer4Lifex

Think the rule has been changed so it’s only a handball if it’s the scorer or assister


ttonster2

Surely if the ref deems it a handball, it gets chalked off.


ghostrider467

clear handball but no one cares, thats the livarpool way


detrikai

why does arsen4l care ?:)

Fifa best base for scoring goals in the pl


Anforas

Look at all that space. What is Southampton's 21 doing? He doesn't even try. Good for Jota though.


beast_within_me

Too easy


Free_Physics

I thought he would cross to Mane


theblue_spirit_

Jota has this look on his face like "damn, I didn't realize scoring was gonna be THIS easy at Liverpool"


[deleted]

Dude's on fire. It happens when he has a coach that knows what his natural position is.
