Hahah I like how Chelsea's win against Tottenham is an "asterisk" win but when Liverpool had two shocking reds and a clear goal denied by VAR because 10 seconds had passed, against the same opponent, it's all good.
I don't know what extended highlights you watched of Man Utd v Burnley that made you think they were unlucky not to win but that's total nonsense. As someone who actually watched the game, Utd were poor but should've won. They missed 3 sitters & could've had 2 penalties. Judging on recent penalties given against Utd they were stonewallers. Burnley needed the usual sequence of calamities from Utd players to scrape a late draw with a penalty. You can say Utd are bad without talking total nonsense about what actually happened.
Refereeing on "vibes" makes it even more subjective. A silly argument lol. It's just an obvious foul - how it is getting so much air time in comparison to much more obvious VAR blunders is just astounding. Is it because it happened against Chelsea, a Sky6 team, by a non Sky 6 team in Villa? Mental.
Extended NLD chat and yet not a single mention of the incident the game hinged on - Kulusevski not getting a penalty and Saka scoring almost immediately.
25:25 Objectively false. City have one of the smaller squads in the league and use the least amount of players. You're mistaking squad size for squad versatility; especially midfield and forward players can play a variety of positions, so they're able to rotate more. I hear this alot, "city have a large squad." It's just not true. I expect a full correction in tomorrow's Athletic ;)
So actual squad depth and meaningful squad depth are different, this is actually a strength of Pep, Arteta started the season with about 18 potential players he could trust, really now we have about 13 (the first 11 plus Jesus and Martinelli/ maybe Kiwior on a good day) Pep by comparison started the season with at least 16 trust worthy players and still has them in fact probably added 1 in Oscar Bob. Klopp has a similar problem to Arteta but started with many more 'potentially' trustworthy players and has lost them across the season Technically all 3 managers have 25 man squads In reality Pep has the deepest squad. Long comment but i wanted to explain this to a city fan somewhere.
@@patrickdawson6281 Thanks for a thoughtful, nuanced answer. Through great recruitment, and yes, lots of moolah, City have constructed a deep and versatile squad of high quality to world class players. One thing i think is interesting is the types of players- they're all hardworking, relatively humble, and team focused, seemingly willing to sacrifice some playing time for the greater good (and the chance to be coached by Pep). Any signs of schism, and they're out. Anyways, I think City fans bristle because the lazy answer is "they have a large squad and lots of money", when I think it's much more interesting and nuanced than that.
It was the 4th game in 11 days, the intensity from Arsenal was never gonna be that high. Especially with Tottenham having over 2 weeks off during that time. Also, it helped curtail effective counters which theyre good at
Spot on in regards to their analysis on LFC -- simply not good enough out of position all season. It is actually insane we have gotten the points tally we have, hoping Slot can come in a figure out some of the issues here. YNWA.
What is Adrian on about.....why is he so sure it wasn't Arsenal's intention to let Spurs have the ball and counter. Pretty sure it was a conscious decision as Spurs will play that way, whereas Arteta's more flexible.
wow Jimbo really doesnt like liverpool does he? and adrian 'eats his sandwiches with a knife and fork' Clarke is really what you need after an arsenal win.....

That’s right, everything is about Liverpool. What a shame they never get attention in the media.

Arsenal "somehow" got in the lead is harsh..they werent dominant but every time they countered they look dangerous
Ah yes. The team that scored most goals in the league and spanked Chelsea 5:0 few days prior was 'somehow' leading vs Spurs.
Always weird to understand who Charlie supports. Previous pro Arsenal twitter comments

I always look at the comment section of The Totally Football Show and think to myself phwoah, what a strong battle for "first" comment spaces.
