@Musings LEEDS showing positive signs early in the season! They are playing explosive football, the mentality seem to be "we will score more goals than you" and it will all make for some exciting games. It was an excellent game really.
Liverpool on the other hand have made this weekend a proof of their ability and a statement of intent. Win over Chelsea at Stamford bridge after the crazy summer transfer spendings were being considered something that will propel Chelsea to the top means a lot for the clubs, both of them! That and the signing over the weekend, what about those two signing! Thiago Alcantara was on the cards for some time now but what about Diogo Jota! What a signing that was, came out of no where and is an excellent signing as well. I hope
@Taimoor Khan is a little happier now.
You following this brother?
What a great signing, it is a perfect fit for Liverpool in my opinion. He will put some pressure on Firmino to deliver and will serve as an excellent back-up option! At 23 years of age and coming from Wolves, Jota wont mind spending some time on Liverpool bench AND with 16 Goals and 12 Assists over last two season, we know he can make an impact when on the pitch. The problem, again, with Liverpool is that we cannot go for players that will demand to come into first team straight away, i don't see which players we can replace from the currently squad and any big name players wont be willing to come to warm the bench.
IF Liverpool can sign a replacement for Lovren then to me this would be a great transfer window for Liverpool.
Arsenal also continued there good start and beat West Ham but with due respect to Arteta and his men, this is one team that usually starts brightly and then fades. I still see them as top 5 contender but not a team that will challange for the top spot.
United on the other hand were as miserable as predicted losing 1-3 to Crystal Palace at home.
Everton also looks like a team to keep an eye on this season. May challenge fro those top 5/6 spots.
