EPL 19/20: GAMEWEEK 2’s BIG ONE

        

           A.Y. SAYS ⚡️⚽️
   Manchester City picked off from where they left last season, thwacking a West Ham side 5-0 (could’ve been 8-0). West Ham weren’t that bad, City just too good. They welcome Harry Kane (he’s off for the season), and Tottenham Hotspur to the Etihad. 5:30pm, so yeah. You can bring bae along 🌚.
      City look raring to go as expected, but this year, they look scarier. The change of positions, the passing and movement. You know what’s coming, but you can’t stop it. Oh yeah, Sterling hit a hat-trick last time out.
              Expected City line-up: 
                     Ederson 
Walker      Stones       Laporte     Zinchenko
                  
                   De Bruyne Rodri
 B. Silva             D. Silva          Sterling 
                        
                       Kun Agüero 
                         (4-2-3-1)
It’s safe to begin to accept the fact that Spurs could actually win it this year. They have the resemblance of a really accomplished side. Ndombele’s debut marked with a stunning hit, and Kaneeeeeeeeeee scored in August. One thing still stands, defensive frailties. If an Aston Villa side can trouble them with an expansive game as City love, well my guess is good as yours. Spurs lineup: 
                          Lloris 
    Sanchez   Aldeweireld  Vertonghen

Walker-Peters                                        Rose
        
                   Winks       Ndombele
                             Eriksen 
   
                   Lucas       Kane
                         (3-5-2)

Prediction: Manchester City have this one. Also, Harry Kane won’t score. Popcorn ready?

EPL 18/19: DERBY DAY IN MANCHESTER

       We’re not scared anymore. A rather defiant Pep Guardiola hinted in his press conference yesterday, as City prepare for their game in hand v Oleball’s Man United. Who will be the King Of The North?       Manchester United got thumped by a spirited Everton side this past Sunday. If that’s anything to go by, then it’s probably curtains for Sir Alex’s grandkids. Positive is, Old Trafford can be a daunting presence when needed. You just never know with this club. Ney still having mares of that night in the French capital. Last time out, goals from Kun Agüero and Ilkay Gündogan k illed off any comeback. Can’t be the same again yeah?  “Ole’s at the wheel yeah?” (c)bleacherreport.com      City fans have been chanting the Campeones anthem already, after Saturday’s win v Pochettino. No VAR sadly then. Victory the maximum, or it could just slip. Yes, that’s the word. Skye Sports confirm a certain Scouse just signed as a fr...

UCL 18/19: IT’S AN ALL-ENGLISH AFFAIR

      (c) https://www.teamtalk.com/  Cue Mo Salah.        Whew. Taken a breath yeah? This is why we love the game. It’s never over till AY says so, or the lady. What a 48 hours it’s been. This season has shown us one thing on different occasions: fortune really does favour the brave.     Brave? Or a case of the never-disappearing bottle. Barcelona threw away a 3-0 lead, again. Jürgen Klopp having another Istanbul-like night. Borussia Dortmund suffered the same in 2016. What makes this more special, is the fact that they did it without Mo’ Salah and Firmino. When you’re backed up against the wall, it seems that’s when true character is shown. Hats off for Liverpool, and to Jürgentainment Klopp. Who’d have thought too much passion would be a good thing?  (c) https://www.businessinsider.com/     Mauricio Pochettino did not sign a single player in the last two transfer windows, didn’t have the Kane Man, an...

UCL 18/19 SEMIFINAL REVIEW: FIRST LEG

Europe’s elite club competition served up another dose of rich entertainment, not for everyone though. It seems you shouldn’t disrespect an almost-hallowed football ground.      Giant-killing Ajax Amsterdam added another victim to the list, with a deserved 1-0 away win at Spurs’ new ground. Donny Van De Beek afforded far too much time in the 18-yard as Hugo Lloris was left exposed. Spurs huffed and puffed as the game came to a close, with Dele Alli only forcing a save from André Onana. Special mention to Jan Vertonghen who recovered after taking a whack which left him bloodied for a bit. Pochettino still has hope as Son Heung-Min would be back from suspension. Ajax looked rattled for a bit as Sissoko and co chased and harried.       Fear it, dread it, run from it: Destiny still arrives. Did you really think Leo Messi was going to let this one slip?      Liverpool got taught the lesson of the famous smash and grab: Liverpool pl...
