Good to have the EPL back!

[ilan]

Right now (7:30 AM ET start), on NBC Sports, Manchester City is playing West Ham United. It has taken a little bit for Man City to show their championship form, but they're now starting to dominate.

Tottenham (my favorite...remind me a little bit of the Mets of yesteryear) plays Aston Villa at 12:30 PM ET.

With Liverpool winning 4-1 and Man city up 4-0 near the end they have sent markers up the other teams shudder at.

 

[ilan]

Agreed... Liverpool looked strong yesterday.

Man City added one more goal for a 5-0 win. They had one goal disallowed for offsides (barely) as well.

The revitalized Aston Villa are leading the Spurs 1-0 at 35:00

 

[ilan]

Ndombele with a goal to knot the game at 1-1.

 

[ilan]

Woohoo... Kane '85 with a goal. Spurs now leading Villa 2-1.

 

[ilan]

Kane '89 with another goal. Spurs leading 3-1 as they move into stoppage time.

Saw the second half of New C v Ars nothing to get excited about both need to improve to challang for the top places.
Saw most of Chel. v Man u to me Chel looked inept and changes will be needed or they will be fighting at the C.P. level.
Man U were not that good but did have the speedy youngsters like Rashfurd.

 

[ilan]

Yes, indeed. Chelsea didn't show up for the match. I was hoping Pulisic would have a decent debut, but Chelsea's ineptness squashed any hope of that.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of game Tottenham can mount against Man City next week. I don't think Alli or Son will be able to play yet, so it will be a formidable task, but I still have my hopes.

 

[Kimbo]

Will definitely watch next week!!

Tottenham v Man City at 12:30 PM ET.

 

[ilan]

Lamela 22' ties the match 1-1. Sterling had a brilliant header for Man City earlier.

 

[ilan]

Man City Aguero goal 34' off a great De Bruyne cross.

 

[ilan]

Halftime with Man City leading 2-1. Man City is playing masterfully.

 

[ilan]

Wow... Moira substituted for Winks and equalizes the match within 10 seconds! 2-2 at 58'.

 

[ilan]

Jesus goal 92' waved off since it was set-up by an unintentional handball. (New rule this year.) Match ends in a 2-2 tie. Tottenham came away better than I anticipated.

 

[dara]

Wow, Mo Salah, a penalty and a sublime unassisted score in the lower left of the goal. Liverpool up 3-0 at '63 over Arsenal.

 

[ilan]

Yes, Salah has been looking great as Liverpool spanks Arsenal. At this point, one has to think Liverpool will be fighting for the top spot again this year.

 

[ilan]

Newcastle leading the Spurs 1-0. I hope Tott can show more aggressive soon. They need to get Eriksen in the game! Enough with the punishment for him talking about looking for greener pastures.

Half Time and still 1-0.

 

[ilan]

Finally, Eriksen entering the match!
