Morgan's started well, pinged some lovely passed about, but quietly impressed with Spurs so far, looking lively. Pochettino effect?

Norwich XI: Ruddy; Whittaker, Russell Martin ©, Bassong, Brady; Howson, Dorrans, Tettey, Johnson; Hoolahan; Grabban.

 

What a rubbish lineup for this level.

Effectively the team that got them relegated the last time but with a couple of average additions. (I wait to see about Brady, but playing him at left back is odd.) . However they have a decent manager now, and if they play as a team they could grind out a few results. I still think they're relegation fodder if they don't spring a surprise for the rest of the transfer window.

Spurs seem worse than last year.

 

I'll give them a free pass after their insane pre-season friendly tournament 3 days ago though.

 

They're saving themselves for the Europa League campaign

3-0 now.

 

Should have been 4.

 

This is whatever score Leicester want, Sunderland are just pointless at this level. If they survive again this year, there needs to be some sort of investigation! They're clearly not good enough for this level.

Posted
Leciester scare me! They seem to have continued their form from the end of last season.

 

Wouldn't read too much into their side, Sunderland are just pathetically bad. You'd be having a bad day if you didn't score a few when they play like this.

Posted

Amazing how Sunderland manage to stay up every year despite being so consistently awful. I think 2 years ago they got a draw at St Mary's and it was their only point in the first 10 games.

 

I'll never worry about relegation as long as we're sharing the league with dross like this.

Bournemouth are doing OK. Villa are pants. With a bit better finishing, Bournemouth could be two up. Boruc has had nothing to do.

Idrissa Gueye, i think, looks decent.

 

Great save by Boruc.

Yep, Villa have come out in the second half and are having a good go at Bournemouth now.

The left back too, Amavi. Only seen a few minutes of these guys obviously, but Sherwood's made some useful signings by the looks of things.

 

Bournemouth will be the Blackpool of 2010

Not Prem but I see a T Watt has scored for Charlton ... why don't parents think these things through, or do they do it on purpose?

I went to school with a Chris Cross and a Carol Service .... and sadly that's the truth!!

Anthony, maybe can't blame the parents for this one. Should make a future Pompey player.

Chelsea looking frighteningly good (again). I like Swansea, and they are holding their own at the moment, but Chelsea just look unstoppable.

Posted
From the sounds of it Cork has had a big effect off the bench. Very surprised he didn't start in the first place.

 

Apparently it's the 1st time he's not started since he's been there.

Posted

Swansea look brilliant, really good balance to them, got to admire what has happened there in the last few years.

 

Chelsea on the other hand, looked half arsed and lethargic....

Shelvy was far far more influential than him . If it was reported we were interested in him this forum would go into meltdown , yet he's a better player than cork on today's evidence

I'd have no issue if we were linked with Shelvey. Apart from his past disciplinary issues he's an excellent young english player.

Don't agree either that he was much more influential than cork, even if i agree he had a good game too.

C'mon , he played a couple of real penetrating balls , plus the one that got the keeper sent off . Cook hasn't got that in his locker . I'd take Shelvey over cork any day of the week

He won us the Ashes to be fair... ;-)

Just a little aside from the Prem.

Due to family I keep an eye on Bury (despite them smashing us in the FA cup final at beginning of the last century), my cousin was the numbers man in the fan ownership to save the Shakers a few years back.

 

They had a what happened next moment in their away game back in League 1 at Donny Rovers it involved the equaliser for Bury being scored un opposed.

If Wenger doesn't get his head out of the sand and realise they need a top level CB, CM and ST then they will continue to flatter to deceive.

 

They have zero balance in that side. Too many similar players.

Posted
Wasn't Chelsea's reserve keeper the final piece of the jigsaw?

 

TBF easily the sort of signing they need to be making, although his error today was somewhat uncharacteristic.

Posted

CB, DM needed for Arsenal, not understood all this crap about signing Cech will make them title contenders. They need a proper CB alongside Koscielny, and then a proper DM who will shield the back four, they missed out not going for Morgan.

 

Stoke/Liverpool very balanced so far. Stoke fans are in the standard mood for them of having a go at the ref at every opportunity whether its correct or not.

Posted

Liverpool/Stoke game is very poor, no real quality on show. Two teams who are closing the ball down quickly and there is very little space for anyone.

 

If anyone shaded it slightly, based on the end of the 2nd half, you'd have to say Stoke created some decent opportunities. Still a pretty flat game all being told.

What a surprise.. Kopite Commentator Martin Tyler....

"Liverpool have shown a real sense of purpose this half"

 

 

 

Match stats..

Liverpool shots on target : NONE, ZERO, ZILCH, 0
