Zero shots on target for Man United this evening. Only 5 wins in 22 matches none in the last 10 away.
Really hoping that poor form continues for them, if Liverpool wins there next game when they go to Old Trafford the match after a win there will put them joint with Man City's record of 18 wins in a row!

They have a lot of injuries atm which doesn't help either. Can see them panic buying in January, at least a striker and overpaying for him.

Arsenal are starting to look useful again. Not just saying that because they are 3-0 up tonight. But there seems to be a bit of new found confidence in the team, looking from the outside.

Arsenal are not quite the bunch of nambies that Wenger left them with but I still think they are short of quality.
Interesting that the 2 US owned clubs being run as cash cows IMO are starting to struggle.

Hmm.... 1-1 with the current Man U away doesn't suggest any great possibilities for the season. it would seem Ozil is out of favour so he's just a drag on their recources. More of a mystery for me is why Xhaka is in favour.

Weird season so far with so many youngsters starting games for Chelsea, United and Arsenal. Everyone is so weak, Leicester might just be able to use this and sneak into the top 4. Regarding Ozil I think they needed to get rid of him a long time ago, he's a massive drain for that club in more ways than one and yet another aging overpaid superstar happily resting on his laurels. This season it obviously didn't help that he was involved in all that attempted robbery drama but it's a convenient excuse. I remember seeing a weird stat on Reddit last season with their xGA (expected goals against) being double when he started games (from 8 to 16). I guess there's something there if Uli Hoeness (Bayern's president) mocked him by saying that he hasn't made a tackle since 2014 :)

It should be an interesting season. Klopp and Guardiola up top, but interesting that the tough guys are up there too. Pellegrini maybe sotto voce but I imagine he's as hard as steel. Emery is clearly very driven. Howe continues his progress, Hodgson is a very experienced manager.
Dyche has corrected a poor start and Sheff Utd are the surprise performers at the moment.
Hasenhuttl seems to be stabilising Southampton.
Its Silva at Everton thats underperforming.
And god help Steve Bruce.

Spurs decline seems to be gathering pace at the moment.

Relegation battle is taking shape already it seems.

And a win this evening would put Palace in 4th :shock: they'll need oxygen at that altitude.

Shocked by Spurs result (no disrespect to Brighton intended).
Spurs seem to be in turmoil. Could it be the drag of Rose, Eriksen, Alderweireld and Vertonghen plus the permanent threat of Lloris doing something bizarre.
Very sad, Spurs have been great for several years.
Hope Poch/Levy sort it out.

Ridiculous pen against West Ham. Point blank range. That's just stupid. Are footballers not allowed to protect themselves?

Sadly, in the UK we're not allowed to watch 3pm games. I shall watch the highlight shows and I'm sure will agree with you. You are like most on here, I respect your opinion.
