Owen is an idiot

Haaland is like kane. Its the yard or space, not brilliant movement. They know where to get to for the best chance of a goal amd can make that yard.

Its a very particular form of "movement". others can make space for others, some can pop up from nowhere.

Stickers like kane and haaland know where the best chances are to be had. Ive said.many a time about nunez making made runs way past the nesr post and never being in the zone of danger.

You don't need to just move. You.need to know where to move. They will step in then come back out for that yard, they will get across in front of the cb.

Haaland scores plenty. Owne hasn't a clue and comes out with some awful tripe.

Danns is the best we have developed since fowler. Owen never had that movement.

Ekitike looks like he comes too short too.much but he has taken up some good positions and missed what 4 headers already he should have scored. Given his goals tally so far am i to say he is a **** striker as a result?

Nope.

You don't always need to move either, sometime's you can find space by standing still. It's game awareness that's key

Haaland is the best striker in the world no questions asks. The guy averages a goal a game across his whole career near enough - fastest ever to 50 cl goals. Fastest to 100 prem goals.

Guy is head and shoulders above everyone else.

I don't think anyone here is denying that. Owne is an idiot.

But ar the same time Mr haaland is a big lump so comparing him to kane in terms.of movement in the box is OK.

He doesn't do anything like kane did deeper though.

Owen hasnt a clue and I can distinctly recall hoddle saying owen wasnt a natural goal scorers as well.

Ego and jealousy imo

I don't really want to get involved in what I think is a fairly pointless discussion - but I'd just point out that the definition of "better" is crucial.
Haaland is the most prolific, but the original suggestion was that Isak is the more clinical finisher.
Both things can be true.

Fair point - I’d argue that weights even more in favour of Haaland then.

Pretty sure I remember Fowler in an interview saying Owen wasn't a natural goal scorer as well.

As I said.

Ego and.....

Look fowler had the pace at first but that injury v Everton ruined him along with the rest of it.

Owen has no more.better skills than folwer but has searing pace and scored a goal.in a wolrd cup thst won him a balon d'or

Owne's idea of control was kick it 5 yards away and chase it. Seriously, I'd have fowler as a finisher over anyone bar rush.

CHRIS SUTTON HAS GONE FOR 0: 0 DRAW,

  • Selhurst Park, 15:00 BST
I am covering this game for Radio 5 Live and part of me is thinking that Liverpool are going to click soon and just absolutely annihilate someone.

At the same time, I just don't think that is what will happen against Palace.

Palace got the better of them on penalties in the Community Shield and while I am not sure you can read too much into that, I am going for another draw this time.

Sutton's prediction: 0-0

Kidwild's prediction: Liverpool are just doing what they always do - not playing that well but still winning. I don't think Palace will beat them but I can see them getting something, because Liverpool do concede a few. 1-1

Blanco's prediction: I went draw as well. 1-1

AI's prediction: 1-2

JONES KNOWS BEST HAS GONE 1:1 DRAW.
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool, Saturday 3pm - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
The lazy narrative will tell you that Liverpool have the title wrapped up already. Results say they're flying - unbeaten in five, late winners. But peel back the scoreboard and ask yourself, are this team that convincing?

For me? No.

This team are getting the job done, yes, but there's a lack of control in games that is leading to fine margins deciding the outcomes. That should ring a few alarm bells. Bournemouth caused them problems. Newcastle ran all over them. Burnley almost stifled them. Everton nearly nabbed them.

Palace can punish them. Oliver Glasner has built a no-nonsense team that are almost perfect in terms of organisation without possession. Since they got beat 5-0 at Newcastle they are unbeaten in 17 competitive games, and they've won two trophies in that time. Across those 17 games they have just conceded nine goals and bagged nine clean sheets. That pure structural discipline can lead them to a result here on the double chance at Evens with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1
 
This is another difficult game, but so was Everton, so was Arsenal and so was Newcastle. There are bound to be periods in the game where the opposition have good spells and yes, we have not really clicked yet with all the new players coming in. It will be a difficult game for Palace as well
 
Excited to see Wirtz from the left. Still think will get more space and time to drift there, albeit against palace back 5 and Munoz will be a tricky one.
 
Interesting team.

Palace either pin you back or you pin them back so wirtz should actually drift or he will be picked up by spare cb and their best player is free to rampage.

Munoz has to be worried about wirtz or he will be all over kerkez.
