EPLwatch 24th week

#BHACHE

This beautiful week started with a beautiful football from Conte's guys in the absence of their suspended top striker, Alvaro Morata. The first aplomb came from a stunning Hazard's strike, but the second would make the weekend of the fans: a fluid, awesome exchange from Hazard to Bastuayi back to Willian who feathered it into the unsuspecting opponent's net.

#TakeHome: Chelsea first win in 2018? Keep plugging away, victory is sure to come.

#ARSCRY

As Harry West put it in his headline on goal.com, "early blitz means that Sanchez is hardly missed" but we need to remember that Arsenal overtime has a way of surprising when you hardly expect especially after they have lost out on every front. Like the fire of a lighter, Arsenal's spirit dies quicker and harmlessly. The match was a quick routing, surprisingly concluded in the first half

#TakeHome: a flurry of successes might be needed to build a character not fluttering performance.

#BUNMUN

Turf Moor couldn't have been tougher, as MAN UTD escaped burns from burning Burnley. Martial would made the fans day with the tricking stunner as he "body-witted" the defender and goal keeper to another side of the post while he shot against top-inner rail for the only goal of the game.

#TakeHome: when you get to a level where everyone there is good, you need to steadily perform to shine.

#MCINEW

All eyez on City, as people expected a descent to human level, but Guardiola seemed too good to allow such redundancy fester. That man has stepped into English league boldly yet doing it better than what detractors prophesied. Alas, without a Messi.

Recovering from the brunt of Liverpool big statement last weekend, city's Aguero got a mouth-watering hattrick. Leroy Sane with a superhuman, alien assist: that guy dribbles unusual like Riera, surprisingly combative like Ngolo Kante, counters like Mahrez, and preempts opportunities like Morata.

#TakeHome: at a point everyone falls, but a champion rises taller after each fall.

Signoff:

Every weekend's momentum will be gargantuan as the competition is stiff but Guardiola seems to be that super-brilliant kid in your class that always knows the answers.

Will he last? Only time can tell...

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...
