EPLwatch Week 16th



#WHUCHE
The weekend started on eerie atmosphere as WestHam stifled Chelsea to 5th minute-lone-goal defeat. Hazard was de-tox, Morata was choked, Super Kante was clobbered as Bakayoko wandered hopelessly. Conte's animated sideline antics couldn't salvage a draw. Chelsea the defending champ lost to the worst team of the league. 
#TakeHome: No test is small. Being a test means there's a percentage of failure.


#SOTARS
Arsenal also were almost subjected to chelsea's fate but Giroud came off bench for restitution. It ended a 1-1 stalemate as Giroud cancelled out one of the christmas bonuses arsenal has recently been doling out to their smart opponent ( last week 2 goals as gift to ManUtd).
#TakeHome: Any fault any flaw, like Arsenal's cheap goal give-away, should be quickly addressed or else it becomes a repeated flaw. Hence a habit.


#LIVEVE
Liverpool couldn't continue that winning spree. Sallah has become an every weekend sensation. He wiggles through hapless defenders like an Egyptian snake. 
#TakeHome: Every member of a team has a role to play in the team success. A single Sallah's brilliance may not shoot the team to success always.


#MUNMCI
In Manchester, this weekend, was pulsating. Two bulls clashed in a powerful derby. The blue bull and the red bull as Guardiola and Mourinho met in an epic clash. It was titanic as DE Gea was finally outwitted. The Manchester sky shone brighter blue and the red blood coursing under the skin constricted to a shock defeat. Manchester is blue, Guardiola is a tactician becoming smarter( knowing now when to defend), Mourinho's unperturbed, Sterling is a better and a more intelligent player now. 
#TakeHome: For Guardiola to defend, smartness behooves a warrior to know when to retreat.


#TOTSTO
Spur clobbered stoke to a shocking 5-1 defeat, Kane on a double, is a worthy mention of the weekend.

Weekend of the Champs and Cramps

Champs do the winning and the cramps give us whining. Champs get the points and the cramps the pains. Liverpool started the weekend like a proper champ that they are. Sallah like the coming festival stood out in the game with two solid goals. The champ of the encounter, Bournemouth burned Chelsea with a lone goal. Is Lampard's ride changing fortune? No winning is permanent, obviously. Manchester United was saved by Greenwood. While one youngster was instrumental to his team's performance, another one ( Moise Kean) that entered as a sub was later subbed off because he looked knackered. Champs and Cramps. Be and the Wannabes! Talking of the Champs and Cramps, Gunners were gunned down. Decimated beyond reparation in the first half. De Bruyne ricocheting shot couldn't be stopped resulting into the first goal and Sterling stellar placement was also conceded, second goal. The third was still De Bruyne ruining the Gunners with a curvy shot that beat the defenders wi...

Brentford Beat Blundering Gunner Two Goal To Nil

  The start of EPL came with Arteta still unable to  fumble out of his not-too-convincing career in Arsenal. Brentford came roaring from relegation to beat Arsenal who dream of getting to top four this season. But like their pre-season, a miscarriage of dreams, they fell a goal behind to Brentford through Canos super strike. From that moment forward, Brentford became the Bully, created more chances and Arsenal passed sideways as if the goal post was at the corner flag. Anyways, White white-out on the field, the presence of 50 million bargain wasn't felt. Mari was too casual for a defender. Tierney will soon burn out. Chambers tried his chambers-efforts. Upfront Balogun was starved of direct passes. Pepe will never pepper any defender except when he is in luck. The dude cannot be consistent except he sees a man-manager. Smith is a ball-smith but combined with Xhaka sideways and momentary slip & sleep off, Smith Rowe just rowing to a fruitless breeze. Martinelli needs to man...

Liverpool Laundered Chelsea 2-0

  Lampard's League of Assassins became the victim and were turned into whiff when they met King Klopp's Coven of Wizards. Mane mane-handled them, scoring a brace. Klopp's magic wand turned Timo Werner to Timo Waster. Havertz became Harvard without a degree. Kante could not count any goal. Kepa also was no keeper. Chelsea became ChelShit: as all turned messy.  The game actually started as if Chelsea would be in control for a longer time. Werner squandered two good chances, though his movements were always threatening.  But the real story unveiled after 40+ minutes into the game. Mane got Christensen to foul him. Red card for CB.  The game became only Liverpool's. Magic Mane later got the first goal and also the second which was gifted by Kepa unkempt pass. Jorginho kept jogging but not creating. Zouma tried his best and Tomori as sub was not timorous but the scoreline wasnt palatable.  Lampard has a lot to fix. But he has another league o...
