  1. Terrible, terrible result considering the City situation. Dropping two here could come back to bite us.
  2. Not looking sharp today. Hopefully the second half is better.
  3. The only hope seems to be serious injury or rapid physical deterioration to keep him from getting there. No one in the NextGen class looks like someone who can beat him on his best day any time soon. Rafa can likely still take him at the FO in 2019 and might be competing in 2020, but Novak should have the outright advantages on hard/grass courts and is probably the best player on clay outside of Rafa already.
  4. The only person who can stop this man is Stanimal. Unfortunately, we’ve seen the last of his relevance.
  5. Djokovic is gonna end up with 25 slams. The dude has not lost an ounce of flexibility in the last 6 years and already survived a freakin’ elbow injury and came out better on the other side. He’s gonna end up being the undisputed GOAT at this point with his resumé.
  6. Disappointing final. Novak occupies rent-free headspace in Nadal and it shows. Djoker is playing great, but Rafa’s UE count is totally uncharacteristic. Crazy to think he ever had the mental edge in this matchup.
  7. I have a feeling Rafa will roast Tsitsipas as well. That heavy topspin forehand is going to abuse his one-handed backhand like it used to do to Fed prior to 2017.
  8. And Mané more than makes up for it. Great goal. Great pass from Alisson to start it.
  9. Oh, great. We get to see the Milner/Henderson/Wijnaldum midfield again.
  10. Keita on by the 60th minute, I’d think. It’s starting to look like we’re gonna have to throw the kitchen sink at them to score.
  11. I agree he's mostly benign when you pair him with Shaqiri and Fabinho, but I also am disappointed at the lack of K8A because his skillset suggests he's literally just a better version of Gini as a box-to-box midfielder who can win the ball back and then take defenders on and advance the ball. He hasn't been spectacular, but I think his floor on any given day this year is still relatively close to Gini's ceiling.
  12. one of these days, someone is going to have to explain to me why Gini is an auto-start in Klopp's midfield. yeah, he is solid at closing down and shielding defenders from the ball but he really offers nothing going forward and the advanced metrics available on understat say as much. the best thing you can say about a Wijnaldum possession is "he didn't turn it over". I hate Shaqiri coming on and then being forced to hug the sideline. we've been so much better offensively when he's been used as a free floating midfielder. Just too many non-factors on the field and we will rue the Mane and Salah misses.
  13. stupid pass by TAA to throw away possession.
  14. Holy shit, that fucking play between TAA/Robbo/Bobby was INSANE.
  15. front 3 are on an island. Klopp needs to make a change ASAP.
  16. I don’t know what the fuck that defensive call was by Orlando. Just awful. Locke was never going to get to the QB when he starts 5 yards deep in the defensive backfield and doesn’t move until the snap.
