GWT: EPL - Matchweek 8

[bluesfan94]

First matchweek after an international break so naturally Liverpool gets the early game Saturday/a match on Saturday/a tough opponent when they host Chelsea on Sunday. The matchweek actually kicks off on Saturday with a London Derby between Spurs and West Ham in the battle of relatively new London stadia. Elsewhere, a key upper mid table match sees Newcastle hosting Brighton.

Relegation 6 pointer

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

This is the week where Brentford score in the first minute and go on to win

 

[Brunkmeister]

Maybe Cole Palmer can win Chelsea a game against a tough opponent for the first time.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Richarlison and Son will be back tomorrow.

 

[Jovavic]

United to finish the weekend in 15th place

 

[Jussi]

Maguire and Mainoo out for "a couple of weeks", Maraoui has returned to training and could be in the line-up on Saturday. Shaw, Malacia and Yoro have returned to training but are not match fit yet.

 

[MM917]

Richarlison and Son will be back tomorrow.

Half of that is good news.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Half of that is good news.

Not sure what you are trying to say here? Richarlison was very productive when he played last season. The issue is that he can't be relied upon to stay fit. Supposedly he's had a lengthy procedure now to prevent future injuries, but we'll see about that.

 

[Jack Straw]

I can’t believe I’m getting up this early on a Saturday morning to watch a team that stands a very good chance of pissing me off.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

*sigh*

Udogie again man.

 

[Jack Straw]

Like I said…

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Spurs can't get a single corner kick right.

Spurs can't get a single corner kick right.

Offensively, defensively ....

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Gah.

 

[luiginb]

Solanke trying to dribble and Brennan Johnson trying to head the ball are painful sights

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Phew.

 

[Jack Straw]

Kulusevski has been so good this season.

 

[Jack Straw]

Nice body check by Micky

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Maddison is struggling.

 

[luiginb]

Kulusevski in midfield is starting to grow on me. Ange starting 10 players who are comfortable in the attacking half makes for entertaining football both ways.

Maddison is struggling.

second best Spurs players for me today

His corners have been terrible and he's losing every duel in my eyes.

He should have had two more assists but Johnson can't head balls

He's losing possession a lot, I agree, but that's usual true for most number 10s, as they try to do a lot.

Well, he's come off now for Sarr.
