EPLwatch Week 26


#BURMCI
Guardiola understands better what stood EPL out amidst other leagues. The other teams in EPL do not just attack top flight teams cluelessly like in other leagues. They study and wear you out for the first 30 mins or so. Then they serve their counter or strike through their  set pieces. It's a cunning move.
Guardiola understands this and he needs a Sane that will add an unusual dribble to an unpredictable speed. Losing Sane for a month would be huge and it reflected in their weekend score line: a 1-1 draw with Burnley. 
#TakeHome: Every champion that still breathes is fallible. To keep giving your best is an existential need.


#MUNHUD
Though Guardiola is still statistically within range,  Mourinho has vouched to be the first of the last. A comfortable win two goals in a pulsating second half. Manchester still on course.
#TakeHome: Reality should never be confused with hope. Reality is based on situational assessment with regards to capacity and its achievable while hope is a promise of what's not within that our controllable range, not with much assurance but a reason to forge on in the most dampened reality.


#ARSEVE
Aubameyang has a starry derby and Mhki has 'moony' assists. Ramsey got hat tricks. Wenger would be much elated. Iwobi still not finding himself.
#TakeHome: Every birth starts with a prayer, a hope and an expectation until the child's growth depicts a reality. When it's the expected, the child is ours. When it's otherwise, we wonder who cursed the child.


#LIVTOT
It was tricky but pulsating game as Liverpool attacked in swarms ready to decimate Spurs who without relenting dredged up a draw despite the early giveaway goal. Wanyama did a stunner. Sallah was simply enigmatic and with his astounding second goal : a super solo efforts topped with a slithering dribble amidst three Spurs players. Controversial moments as two soft penalties were given against Liverpool. The scoreline ended sorely on a 2-2 draw. Klopp would be devastated like a kid who's given a desired sweet but later told he would need to share it with a friend he's been showing off to. What a disappointment after such epic jubilation!
#TakeHome: Every decision should be decisive. Too much Hesitation kills the belief in the decision.


#WATCHE
This year has been a spate of concession for Chelsea. Conte seemed lost and Courtois transfixed as barrage of goals flew in within the shortest possible period. Watford got a spotkick which Hazard equalized with a curling stunner but then Watford remembered that Chelsea was a Bakayoko-down. With that, three more beautiful goals were scored including a slick move by Janmaat and yet Courtois remained transfixed. Giroud was girouding---ghosting around with little contribution. Match ended 4-1.‎
Conte may not last this month.‎ Guardiola is still catchable but not for Conte!

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...
