PL Matchweek 11

[Cassano]

Sterling is City's best player ATM. He is ready for Real Madrid.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Second in the table looks pretty nice to me, as does a brace for Morata. Couldn't watch the match this morning, unfortunately, so can't comment on his performance, but goals are good for his confidence. @Blender , did the performance match the brace?

Give us 100+ mill £ and the talks can start

 

[YNWA14]

City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are the 4 best teams this year and to me there's a decent gap between those 4 and Spurs/United.

Obv he's ready since it would be a step down

 

[Cassano]

Damn, I didn't notice it was that bad.

On the other hand, Lacazette has scored vs. Atletico, Liverpool, City and Man Utd.

Morata's movement to get on the end of the ball in the box was very good in the game, and the kind of things he needs to be doing every game if he's going to keep scoring. He choked on a chance to get the hattrick late in the game, as he tried to make a clever chip over Hennesey when he had tons of room to cut to his right and step around him for a clear shot. His link up plays still need work, and that's the area Giroud is vastly superior in. Morata is probably better suited to having Willian be the key player the ball moves through like today rather than Hazard, as Willian is a lot more likely to stick to the outside and try and throw a pass in, while Hazard is more like to try and link up with Giroud and move the ball into the box for a chance.

No team is a step down for RM, they will always be the biggest club in the world sadly.

I would not put Arsenal with the first three teams. They have been quite lucky in a lot of games where we haven't showed up for first halves. Tottenham are getting results without Vertonghen and Utd are only 3 pts back despite a disastrous start to the season. The defensive instability is going to hurt the team more than the rest (besides Utd).

Biggest or one of the biggest I agree, but I'd say Man City are likely to be the better team now and in the near future and a step down in that regard

Man City currently is the richest club in the world, what comes to spending power,overall wealth (not by net value, or such)
due to the fact that City owner Sheikh Mansur is one of the richest people on earth,
but yes, far away from being the biggest. Kinda difficult to say which is the biggest, by success; its RM i guess.

 

[SSF]

This game sucks just as much as I thought it would.

 

[SSF]

Hey, Fulham gave up a goal and it was off of a Huddersfield set piece kind of.

Who would have guessed

 

[SSF]

Fulham is going to end this game less than full strength. Cairney is already limping and they have used all 3 subs.

 

[hatterson]

This is such a terrible game.

 

[SSF]

Mercifully it is over.
1-0 Huddersfield

Re: City vs. everyone else.

I think we all expected City to lead at this point and basically be unstoppable. But their lead is much slimmer this season (two points vs. seven last season).
