GWT: Premier League Round 1

[Halladay]

City's starting 11 is amazing on even without KdB, Sane, Jesus, and David Silva starting.

 

[YNWA14]

Couldn't ask for a better start. Thought Salah looked a bit off but everyone else was firing. Midfield especially looked fantastic. Wijnaldum, Keita and Milner all crushed it. Robertson too looked great. Kinda fluky goals for Mane but he looks back to his dynamic best. Feel completely comfortable with Gomez subbing in for Lovren while Lovren gets back up to speed as well; hope he's third choice this season at CB.

The internet is littered with over-reactions after 1 week, but I wouldn't be surprised if ManCity and Liverpool were 15 points clear of everyone else.

Man City yes but Liverpool not a chance.

The stating 11 for City is much better than anything Liverpool can put out and that is with KDb, Silva and Sane on the bench who are better than any player Liverpool has.

I am sure like last year and the year before that we will see these performances from Liverpool against weak opposition and people will overreact as they always but they are not close to City.

 

[Chimaera]

I don’t think so. Chelsea, United and Spurs (maybe Arsenal, we shall see) will stick with them until December at least.

 

[Cassano]

It'll be tough with Torreira.

 

[Gecklund]

It'll be tough with Torreira.

What will be tough?

[Gecklund]

This is a perfect opening match for Arsenal. If they win then fantastic that’s amazing and they can claim they are back and Emery is a god. If they lose well this is a record setting City team.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Too easy.

 

[Blender]

Sterling just walked right through Arsenal there.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Arsenal still have huge issues in central midfield and their entire defensive line.

 

[koyvoo]

Wenger in

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

I keep thinking, why is a teen girl from the 80s playing for Arsenal.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Mendy is looking leaky.

 

[Gecklund]

Mendy is looking leaky.

That’s because he’s practically playing as a CM.

 

[Savi]

It shouldn't be this easy for City while missing some of their top guys. Arsenal looking confused as hell.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Xhaka lol

 

[booyakasha]

Xhaka sucks.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Speeeeeeed

Yeah they’re missing a few key guys but it’s not like they are trotting out some pedestrian 11. They still have a top quality 11.

 

[Savi]

True.. but still

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

He gone.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

City still seem to struggle most when facing counter-attacks.

Well, let's not act like this is Burnley at home here either. I don't think very highly of this Arsenal squad, but they've got plenty of expensive 'stars' playing who you would expect to perform in a home opener.
