Man the standard to which Leao judged is unfair.
He’s a throwback player. He’d be lauded with praises in the 90’s and 00’s. Now when he wins games, the discussion immediately becomes the next game.
Not saying right or wrong, but Messi, Cristiano and Pep really changed things.

They’re obsessed with signing defenders and midfielders
Ugly ass brand of fútbol. I remember we used to play with a free flowing offense not too long ago
We should’ve been thrown the bag at Gyokeres and someone like Nico Williams
How much money have Arsenal made from selling players in the last 5 years? Once you see that figure and compare that to what they've spent then you'll understand.

Straight red violent conduct is automatic 3 game ban. The + 2 is for the Sarr incident which is a seperate red card.

"Slot’s track record of developing and improving players at Feyenoord, his previous club in the Netherlands, was key to Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes deciding he was the ideal candidate to take over at Anfield when Klopp stepped down after almost nine years as manager at the end of last season.
The Dutchman has certainly unleashed some untapped potential where Diaz is concerned. Through regular video analysis meetings and time spent on the training field, Slot and his staff have worked closely with the 27-year-old to ensure he is getting on the ball more centrally and in more advanced areas where he can hurt opponents.
With 13 goals in all competitions last season, Diaz netted once every 278 minutes. This season, he has scored nine times already — one every 96 minutes."
"Slot played him in a less familiar central role in the front three, at times leading the line but at times dropping deeper to receive the ball. The coach explained that playing a more orthodox centre-forward, like Darwin Nunez, would have played into the hands of Jonathan Tah, “maybe the best defender in Germany”, “so we thought let’s try to get Lucho (Diaz) to drop into midfield and maybe surprise him with more runs from behind”.
Slot is cooking

Mings gives away a retarded penalty. Smh. Emery must be livid.

First Champions League goal conceded in that fashion.
Mings is not a good player plain and simple. But didn’t Gabriel do this last year against Bayern?
