What a exciting week of football!!! Three teams thrashed their opponents by 6 goals!!! Arsenal really well deserved to score 6 goals or even more, they really played extractive soccer and good link up play, totally different from the Liverpool match in Game 1.
Poor result for Wigan, I totally feel that Wigan played very good in the early first half, they are attacking Chelsea and even got higher shot on goal than Chelsea. Unfortunately, the first goal had let them down, the defender should react faster, he just stand there and watch.
After Newcastle match against Manchester United, it looks like they will fight very hard to stand in the Premier League and avoid the relegation battle. For Andrew Carroll, with all the publicity he get from the media after scored a hat-trick and praise from Alan Shearer, hopefully he still will over feel proud of his performance, it is just the beginning, still got a long way to go. The sad part of this match is Aston Villa lost so badly. Aston Villa is a good team, they don't deserved to loss this way, most likely the departure of Martin O'Neil affected them morale in the team. Nowadays, my clubs will train up of their players, however once a big clubs come out with a lucrative offer, they will sell the players. Some players also will move to other clubs after get recognization for their performance because of money and to play in bigger club. For this kind of club, how to grow? For this kind of player, do they appreciated what the club done to them? The player I hated the most is Anelka when he demanded a move to Real Madrid, totally never recognized what Arsenal or Wenger had did for him.
For Manchester United, just another poor performance with no finishing touch and a miss of penalty that is the most critical turn of that game, didn't finish off the opponent.
Basically the most controversy in Game 2 is Tottenham match, it is very obvious that the ball had crossed the line scored by Stoke City. I also feel that the referee was in a great position or near the goal post enough to notice it. It is a bit obvious that the referee is lack of concentration at that time. The question now is whether to introduce or use new technology for future match? But sometimes it is the mistake that make the sport so interesting and controversy that make us angry (when the result not go our way) and relieve/happy (when the result go our way), really a big dilemma.
For Manchester City, finally they showed their class, most probably they will win the next few matches in a row after that match. It surely had boosted their confidant; most probably better performance will be expected. For Liverpool, this season, they most likely to be in position between 8 or 9 in the end of this season, they surely will go behind team like Manchester City and Tottenham.
Looking forward for Game 3, hopefully there also will be more goals being scored, that what make the game so exciting.
