2016-2017 EPL Thread

Tough to draw with Spurs. A lot of missed chances. I thought we were the better side for most of the match.

Man U & Chelsea have looked strong to start. I really see it being a 3 horse race between United/City/Chelsea.

Joe hart to Sunderland? Quite the drop off for Mr. hart, if true.

I missed the Spurs-Liverpool match...couldn't wake up in time for it.

If Spurs are going to make it back to the champions league next season, they're going to have to find a way to get 3 points against teams like Liverpool and Everton instead of 1. Season's still young and I'm glad they at least got something out of the match.

Dropping points at home is always frustrating

Teams like Liverpool? Got an inflated self-image, much? Lol

We really outplayed them for the majority of the match. Should of gotten the 3 points. They were lucky to get a point.

any word on Kun Aguero? Is he suspended for Manchester derby?

Nothing yet. Would be shock if he doesn't get a 3 match ban

Not really. Liverpool is a squad that's going to likely sit around the 4-6 range in the league. If you want to get into the top 4, you need to find a way to beat those types of squads because getting around the Manchester units and Chelsea is going to be tough going this season it appears.

Saw the replay last night. A couple great saves by Vorm and a few narrow misses or Liverpool puts that one away early in the 2nd half. Spurs had a few opportunities off of corner kicks, but really that was about it. Tottenham was very sloppy with the ball, lucky to get a point out of that.

David Luiz back to Chelsea

 

[StuUKWI]

He's had a rough go for club teams since signing with Tottenham. Terrible move for him IMO. Why go to a team who is not in the EPL? I rather go back to the MLS then sign with a team not in the EPL

I think it's a good move for Yedlin. Newcastle are favorites to go straight back up and should really be a top half of the table premier league team anyway - huge fanbase (50,000+ each week) and lots of potential.

Manchester City's Sergio Aguero banned for three games

Now that the international break is over, we can look forward to the return of the EPL this week. Best matchups are United vs City and Leicester vs Liverpool

Manchester Derby should be a good one

City has looked better but no Aguero.....that's huge

Typically this would be a game where Mourinho would park the bus and play for a 0-0. Be interesting to see whether or not he does that again.

Not sure why he would park the bus at home and play for a draw. That makes zero sense

 

[StuUKWI]

That's Mourinho's usual MO in a big game (at least it was at Chelsea). He'd rather not lose than play for a win.

City up 1-0 early

 

[bksballer89]

Good games today. City look like the best team early on. Arsenal with a late penalty to win against South Hampton.
