De Gea had not stopped any of the last 40 penalties he had faced. Must have put some time in practicing this summer.

Or maybe that wasn’t the best PK taken? It wasn’t bad, but it was reachable.

Cocking it up, on the Peacock Network.

Hey Spurs, can you try not to concede anymore goals?

Signed, Liverpool with a +1 goal differential lead over Chelsea.

There we let Timo go 1v1 with the keeper, happy?

Tuchel is easily the best tactician in the EPL right now, especially on defense. Then you have an offensive beast up front in Lukaku.

We're going to split the title at this rate.

Liverpool and Chelsea have the exact same score line in each of their first 5 league games. That’s a quirky record that might not be beat for a long time.

Chelsea and Liverpool have had the same scoreline as each other every weekend so far this season

Week1 - Liverpool W 3-0 | Chelsea W 0-3

Week2 - Liverpool W 0-3 | Chelsea W 3-0

Week3 - Liverpool D 1-1 | Chelsea D 1-1

Week4 - Liverpool W 2-0 | Chelsea W 0-2

Week5 - Liverpool W 0-3 | Chelsea W 3-0

** Firemans4Horn - dude, that was spooky

So is Chelsea top of the table technically because of the alphabet? I know they're both tied on points, both have the same scoring differential, both have the same points for and points against, and both have a shared draw thus no head to head advantage. So how exactly would tie breakers work if the season ended today? A one match playoff?

Yes.

Can you imagine how insane that would be?

Technically Chelsea is ahead because they've score more away goals in our head-to-head meeting(s). But if it were absolutely deadlocked like this at the end of the season, it looks like it'd be a one-match playoff at a neutral ground:

TIEBREAKER RULES

In terms of tiebreakers, here is the order and format in which league position will be sorted by if teams finish level on points:

  • Goal difference
  • Goals scored
  • Points won in head-to-head meetings
  • Away goals in head-to-head meetings

If the teams still can’t be separated after the above tiebreakers, a playoff will be arranged (at a neutral ground with the format, timing and venue determined by the Premier League Board).

It’s pretty well summed up here

 

 

Tuchel gives no shits. Not playing well? You're off. Dude's gonna win quite a few trophies.

Because of him, I would put Chelsea in the driver's seat to win the EPL this year. We'll know a little more next week, but I would expect them to beat City when they come to London.

We're 5 games in, there is a long way for things to shake out.

I mean yeah, we're (me and ztejas) just having a little bit of fun with the current standings and what would happen if the season ended today. The Liverpool annual January swoon approaches.

United remains the elephant in the room (as much as fucking Man U can occupy that position). They are pretty scary when they are clicking but they probably also have the most implosion potential. 

Also - City started last season slow. Those assholes always have plenty of potential to get the steamroller up and running again. 

Fingers crossed we actually get a fun title race this season. Seems like we will.

Difference between last year and this year is that Liverpool isn't relying on their fifth choice CB to get regular minutes, Chelsea has a manager who's not a dumbass (oh and Lukaku), and Man U bought Ronaldo and Varane. There's actual competition for City this year and I don't think they've gotten better.

Add an early season injury crisis and they could easily fall out of the title race before it even gets going. I'm guessing Chelsea smokes them this weekend without even getting out of second gear.

I mean... I hope so. Not buying that yet though. I think if anyone runs away with it it's us but Pool is keeping a nice pace.

Brazil name Alisson, Ederson, Fabinho, Fred, Gabriel Jesus, Raphinha, Emerson Royal and Thiago Silva in squad for October qualifiers

Do you see any reason why any club would grant a release of a player for Brazil after what they pulled against Argentina?

I know it's been said before, but I hate Mike Dean's inconsistency.

In the Hause!

Beautiful header from a corner... Villa 1-nil over ManU in the 89th!

Hause giveth and Hause taketh away.

Clumsy handball in the Villa area. Penalty to United.

Bruno Fernandez pulls a Beckham and skies the PK some 30 rows above the bar.

Wow, city finally beats Chelsea. Villa on a roll since coming back from break. 

Liverpool clear of Chelsea at least now...[emoji1745]

Arsenal looks competent and dangerous. 

Yea, what the fuck are we doing being this aggressive and creative.
