Premier League matchweek 2 (august 19th-21th)

This is just a Championship quality game with a PL logo slapped on it. Liking Huddersfield a lot more though

Edit: And just like that, great strike from Mooy
 
He was a clear level above the local league here in Australia. He's got a lot of good attributes: good set-piece taker, decent passing range, always looks for the ball. I thought it'd be his lack of athleticism and defensive frailty that hurt him but he seems to be improving mentally which is masking his deficiencies. Definitely getting better at controlling the tempo of a game.
He can shoot too. Great goal!
 
Damn, Newcastle don't look any better than the season before last when they were relegated. If Benitez walks, that will be the end of their chances of becoming a stable midtable side, they will never get another manager of his caliber.
 
Seems Mitrovic is done in Rafa`s eyes, dont understand why not try to sell him off and get some money to reinvest. Somewhere among all crazy and lunacy there is a decent player, in today`s market they would be able to get 8-10 mil euros.

this statement is a bit of a contradiction, no?

Good. Arsenal can survive ;)

Yeah, they're lucky to have him. ( I feel dirty saying that!)

If they're looking no better than last time, how is benitez any good?
 
Benitez should have left the moment he got them promoted, he'd have left with managerial credit and perhaps a more interesting club would have pursued him. Now he's probably going to have a shit season with Newcastle in the PL.
 
Chelsea playing with 4 CBs, 2 DMs and 2 Wingbacks vs Spurs :lol:

Looks like Moses is being played as an attacker.

Courtois
Rudiger Luiz Christensen
Azpilicueta Bakayoko Kante Alonso
Moses Morata Willian
with Rudiger and Azpilicueta probably the other way around. Interesting.
 
I can't figure out what formation Chelsea will be playing. Looks like 4-3-3 but an incredibly negative one.
