Nine chances created from Florian Wirtz v Brentford (all from open play). No Liverpool player on record (from 2003-04) has ever created more in a single Premier League game. #LFC

The Isak touch to set himself is genuinely mind-boggling. I am confounded. My gast is thoroughly flabbered

Micah Parsons’ recent interview about his ACL recovery was interesting- his team told him being cautious in recovery is less about fear of reinjuring the ligament and more about avoiding overcompensations. He could probably play tmw, but then all of a sudden his hip hurts, etc
Giovanni Leoni now unlikely to join team training until the next international break, Andoni Iraola reveals.

The Sportswashico, where the world observes with morbid curiosity, the true nadir of the game as the states collide in unity against the oppressive rules of sport

Speaks to both Wirtz’s lack of confidence & incredible quality that I couldn’t remember the last time I saw him try to take on his man but when he just did it was the most elegant, game-breaking example of his talent.

The Wirtz-situation is a train wreck. It's a mixture of wrong expectations, incorrect role and playstyle, resulting confidence issues. And, tragically, it looks as if his teammates *don't want to play with him.* None of these are mega bad, but they're adding up. Thread:

Liverpool played well today.
Before the red card: Liverpool (0.92) 0-0 (0.16) Man City

It’s funny to hear commentators presenting City and their fans as righteously defiant against some unfair treatment. All this praise about their defiant attitude and their togetherness. As if the world of football came together to tear down an underdog.

Referee decided the game on 62 when he made a choice that he didn’t have to make.

Two hilariously soft yellows in favor of a team embroiled in the biggest cheating scandal in sports history have effectively decided the most anticipated game in years Not a great look for the product the Premier League wants to sell

I am by no means saying the refs are rigged or anything like that, just that this will follow City and the PL for as long as this has no resolution They’ve been “playing a man up” for years. It can & never will be separated from the discourse of what’s happening on the pitch

City are innocent and the Red Cartel are eating our children and Gerrard slipped and something something Florian Wirtz oh and use this promo code to get a welcome bonus on Polymarket Zynternet ass football club
Man City & their fans desperately trying to create a cultural amnesia around the global consensus of their crimes is straight out of the MAGA playbook Constant whataboutisms, red herrings, ad homs, “they” are out to get us, etc It’s like they’re speedrunning logical fallacies

If you live in San Francisco long enough eventually one of the worst days of your life will overlap with fleet week, and this will be considered a right of passage

Overnight development leaps are so spooky, just randomly decided to become an elite ball striker in 2015. The established consensus from 2012-2014 was “we want him doing everything except taking the shot”. A good case study in being patient & allowing yourself to be surprised.

The human cost of reporting on Man City’s cheating for 15 years. It’s on the Mail website today and will be in the MoS paper tomorrow (Sunday) but they backed my reporting 100%. That reporting continues on my Substack. Google it for details. dailymail.com/sport/football…

I’m not exaggerating when I say the future of English football rests on the morally correct outcome of this Man City charges saga. We are deep into uncharted territory.
