Lessons Learnt From The EPL. WEEK 22

Post by themainman »

Week 22 of the Premier league and it is four more months of exciting football, 16 weeks to see who gets crowned the winner of the EPL. Week 22 comes after a goals-galore in the previous week with Man Utd traveling to Liverpool in a game that has produced some of the best talking points. Chelsea host Everton in another big game with the battle to survive the drop still going on fiercely with teams putting on a strange fight this week. Without further ado, here are the things we learnt from the Premier League this weekend.

LIVERPOOL IS WORK IN PROGRESS.

Unlike the red side of Manchester, you actually can view progress at the red side of Merseyside. The wins might not be coming in numbers but you can pinpoint what is wrong at Liverpool. Sunday’s defeat to Man Utd was not a fair reflection of the game but a reminder of the club lacking that cutting-edge player that could rally the team to wins. Klopp has come into the team and while the victories are not coming, the fans quite understand that, given the German’s authorized signings, the club could be challenging on all fronts next season. Slow progress is better than no progress; just ask Man Utd fans.

FAX MACHINE EASILY IN MAN UTD’S HISTORY.

With the talk of David De Gea diving his way into becoming the greatest Man Utd goalkeeper over Peter Schmiechel, Man Utd owe a lot of thanks to the fax machine that was at the center of the transfer saga. Without a doubt, the Red Devils would be languishing in the bottom half without the Spaniard in the team who was once again instrumental to Man Utd somehow walking out of Anfield with three points. So much talk about Man Utd’s defensive qualities when it has been the goalie saving their backside, and yes…pun intended. Backside-backside, uh, get it?

MARTINEZ NEEDS TO SORT HIS DEFENCE.

Everton create a lot of chances, take their chances as well. Goal scoring does not seem to be a problem, the Toffees are just behind Man City in the number of goals scored with 39, somehow they just don’t end up coming out with wins. The club has conceded 32 goals and those goals have been costly. Draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was a déjà vu moment with the one point walk-off similar to the game against Bournemouth. Going two up, getting pegged back, taking the lead, and losing it again in the dying minutes. With Jagielka gradually getting into the side, Roberto would be hoping his team would be able to keep it tight at the back and push forward into continental places, a place they could easily have been in.

WILJNADUM DRAGGING TOONS UP.

The Dutch man has been the standout performer in a struggling season for Newcastle. The midfielder has bagged 9 goals in the league for the toons and has helped removed the team from the relegation spot temporarily and halt their five game winless run.
You can doubt if the player would remain at Tyneside if the club eventually goes down. Georginio can be said to have finally settled in well in England with his improvement visible in every game and quick adjustment to the tempo something his former teammate at PSV, Memphis Depay is still yet to learn.

Co'KUN AGUERO

Extremely fragile, keep standing should be the tags on the Argentine international if City want to claim back their title. It is not even impossible for the Etihad to have EPL honors back with just a single point separating them and Arsenal.
Thirteen goals this season for Kun with all the injuries is a clear indicator of what he can hit if he stay healthy and out of the treatment table. The club goes into the coming months challenging on all four fronts, and would need Bony and the rest of the pack to step up if the Argentine is to be rested in games that could be perceived as little.
