I was jealous watching West Ham vs Brentford.

I was cheering on my new team Palace and their elite player/manager Vieira, they were very good ..so I didn't have time to be jealous, tbh.

Depends on both teams. Chelsea utd mostly emphasize on sitting back

When we signed pepe and watching his videos, I thought surely we have signed the next Salah he's in a different planet

Both goals today were completely due to his skills... Really want 1 true world class player like that badly

According to some here if we let Pepe stay near the penalty box all day & do nothing else, he'll win ballon d'or

Kidding aside, I never expected something like that. Salah was always on a different level

 

[Juan Matas Beard]

Dreams of Ole lifting the title are still alive.

The closet City and Palace fans coming out today.

My 2nd team played well

Pep is Godly

Two great teams, two great managers. I know a lot of people pick one or the other but these two are clearly the finest managers of their generation.

Simeone is clear blud.

@Rex Banter just saw your boy Olise score his first PL goal and he didn’t even celebrate just ran back cos they still needed another goal. Champions mentality.

Maddison disasterclass and a self made Kelechi goal.

Absolutely orgasmic levels of I told you so over here.

Yeah the Suarez 2013/14 and Bale 2012/13 are two of the most ridiculous seasons I’ve seen in recent years.

They went to that video game level where everyone they tried turned into a goal or assist. I think if they’d stayed longer they’d have the better career but honestly they’re two of the GOAT seasons along with Henry 2002/03, Ronaldo 2007/08 and RVP 2011/12.

Ought to have included that RVP season on my list. It's definitely in consideration, especially given the rest of the team (vs. Henry's Invincibles era or Ronaldo's CL winners).

Nah these games are always a blast (usually because Pool bags a bunch on the counter). Good result for City.

 

[GeorgiaGunner]

Grealish is waste over there. Most people could see Bernardo and Foden are better players. They play over way bigger space and has dimensions in their game he doesn’t

Really just an attempted (British) fan buy, IMO. It definitely stings that, still, no one watches their games, for all their successes.

 

[GeorgiaGunner]

Hazard fourth for me. Salah hasn’t had any years off like Hazard did in 2015/16.

Been ridiculously consistent since he arrived at Anfield.

He’s also just flat out more productive, even at their respective bests. Hazard has been awesome on a bunch of title-winners, but he also gets a bit more credit due to flashy dribbling.

Salah’s best season doubled up Hazard’s career high in goals, with only 5 less assists. And his PL (G+A)/90 is a little more than 50% greater than that of Hazard. For reference, that’s the roughly the same delta (in both raw bps and relative % overage) between (the Arsenal editions of) Walcott and RVP. No contest.

But hazard was constantly involved in the general play and was more of a playmaker. He rarely lost the ball.

Still fantastic, no doubt. But not quite on Salah’s level, imo, even controlling for positional difference. That quote he made a few years back about not caring about scoring kind of shows in his play.
