Wow, crazy. I’m a few hours from Asheville (East TN) and it’s crazy here as well. I bought some property and am gearing up to build. Doesn’t seem like a great time for that either. Good luck.

How's the house hunting going? Seems like a stressful time to be buying as things are flying off the market, at least around here. Good luck.

Honestly, have they stopped giving cards for simulation? Can't remember the last time I've seen one given.

Agree. Although I think it’s ridiculous when guys like Salah act like they’ve been shot whenever they're touched in the box, I completely understand why it’s done. Completely impacts the ref’s decisions. Foden got up way too fast.

Soccer managers seem to get zero leeway. Leicester fired Ranieri the year after winning the title. I can't think of an American sport where a coach/manager would get fired the year after taking a huge underdog team to a championship. They didn't even let him finish the year. Obviously Klopp has...

Really? I’ve quite enjoyed watching those games.

I don’t understand how they can use angles that aren’t directly in line with the players. Imagine if the NFL was using a camera on the 25 yard line to decide if the ball crossed the goal line. Insane.

Was a handball and Werner wasn't offsides. Not calling the handball call is fine, IMO. The problem is the reviewing of other bullshit and then not reviewing the handball. Way too inconsistent. Replay sucks in just about every sport. Watched the end of a Celtics game a couple of weeks ago and...

I watch a ton of EPL soccer but don't really get too much into reading about it or following transfers or other news. Is this whole "net spend" a thing? I really only hear Liverpool fans talk about it. Is this the soccer version of ND fans talking about academics when things go bad?

Yeah, so much from coming out and getting revenge for the Pickford/VD incident. Liverpool look uninspired for sure. Think I saw they have 57 points from their last 34 games (since the restart). One of the biggest drop offs I can remember from an elite team in any sport. They were unreal for that...

Truth is, I was trying to be a little Dick. And if it's one thing Liverpool fans know, it's little dicks. All in good fun :)

Agree. Not trying to be a dick about it. We have NFL threads as well as team specific (Browns, Bears, etc...). Or just change the title to "Everything Liverpool and some other soccer stuff"

Would be easier to just have a Liverpool thread like we do other teams.

What’s been the issue scoring? Figured most of their issues would be defensive. Haven’t really watched them much this year.

City has four very winnable games before the Liverpool matchup. Need all 12 points from those games.

Thank God for VAR. Pretty clear from those stats the on field refs have been showing favoritism towards Liverpool. Luckily there is a system in place to overturn the biased officiating.

This is a very interesting season for Liverpool. I always enjoy watching how a team defends its title, regardless of the sport. It was inevitable that a drop in form would happen. Can the fight through (injuries, poor ref decision, etc...) and do what it takes to repeat? We'll see. As a City...

I don't think there is another sport where replay has had such a negative impact as soccer. It's terrible. And I didn't even see the game but I'm assuming a terrible penalty and a shitty offside call?

Yep. The bigger issue is that unlike an end zone in football or the goal line in soccer, the offside line is a moving target. You can place fixed cameras on the out of bounds or the goal line and always have a good angle. With offside, you not only need to be inline with the players (who are...

Watching a winning goal get taken away by VAR due to some body party being a minuscule offside, is insane. I've never seen a sport willingly try to eliminate its most exciting plays (goals). VAR and offside does not work in its current form. Using it for goal line technology and calls such as...
