The Liverpool side is vastly different because all their summer signings were there and they are absolutely shit ones.

I don't disagree with the general point pal. I'm just saying it doesn't matter how or why or to what degree the Liverpool team is different - it's just different, so the 'We beat them with the same team that got battered last season' argument has a flaw.

Neville's De Gea analysis. Be interested to hear Grimmers' thoughts.

I can tell he's done the goalkeeping part of the UEFA Pro License. The point he made about staying nearer his line in that specific situation is a fairly new part of the methodology. For decades the mantra 'narrow the angle' was repeated brainlessly - we now teach that there are situations where it's better to hold your line and stand up.

I agree in general with his other points, tho I'm not sure the 'catches 91% of crosses' stat is as significant as it sounds. At this point of the season it's still a fairly small sample size.
