That will also be his biggest asset... How will defenders ever guess. He'll have brilliant moments of nonsense dribbling this season for sure.

Would have taken it before the game, but as played feel it's a let down.

Got to hit this target man

Isak owes a lot to that man who's just come on. Murphy must be pretty pissed off too as he has his assist generator disappearing.

Perfect pass from Elanga. Well played

Too much flopping from our boys.

It's crazy sometimes, really. Make sure you allow time for a 50/50 challenge to happen between two players before you stop play

Hmm, not sure about that Elanga chance seems a good save but did he take the ball too far right ?

Still can't believe how much this prat has derailed this start of the season. Should be all positives. The game's actually started and still doesn't feel right. And I'm very much in the camp of hold strong and therefore allow for a way back into the squad... But how could we ever forget.

Elanga, Barnes, Gordon... that had some counter attack feel about it. Good luck Gordon up top, just take it easy on the diving.

Exactly. Just benefits breaks in play, time wasting and deeper squads. Helps teams stockpile players because more game time to spread out and it removes jeopardy from games as anyone on a card or low on energy can just easily be replaced by someone just as good.

Well this is no fun.

Seriously though, we will never see a replay of that ever won't we

Aye, basically.

He's scored, and been lively but also does look completely unhinged.

Premier League is back!

What's going on here like then

Etiquette confirmed as a diving cunt.

I know it's a cliché, but it's a shame that the season never starts with teams mostly set anymore. Makes the start of the season feel flat. Obviously there's an added level of that for us this season. Ironically Sky Sports had a segment vamping up opening day by showing past year new signings making their mark straight away, when they're big actors of this transfer frenzy lasting weeks into the season. The game is full of propaganda about good old days, with so little done to preserve . It's wild really.

Yes, that's the best to sum up how they've gone on the last ten minutes.

Yeah, full on by Sky now projecting Isak in Liverpool's line up.

Jacob Murphy

Yeah, that was a bit a weird. Do they mean it will be organised independently or what...

Exactly, plus they can afford to keep players stockpiled if they don't get what they want. So they let them go with an insurance to be able to buy back the ones that succeed. Clever from their point of view; but rather grim once again for the spirit of competition.

I see the PTSD remains strong - I like it.
