Week 4 or how i leaned to stop worrying and love Manchester City

 The Titanic departed from the city of Liverpool. Had they gone up the River Mersey and sunk in a similar matter it would have less disastrous than Liverpool’s performance on Saturday. Until Liverpool sort out some kind of consistent back line then their porous defense will concede goals. Would one say that this Liverpool team is like the Titanic disaster itself? There’s a first class (forwards), second class (midfield), and drowning third class (defense.) In this poor metaphor I suppose that makes the Moreno the swashbuckling Jack; driven to break class lines by ignoring his position but ultimately doomed. Left to die cast adrift. 

Arsenal have the memory of my grandpa who had Alzheimer’s. They take a beating one week then forget about it and look great the next. Unfortunately for Arsenal this result is typical. They can always beat teams lower than them yet fail to punch up. 

Alvaro Morata continues his goal scoring streak early in the season. That now makes 3 in games. Chelsea have to like where they sit now at third. Leicester City meanwhile are showing more signs of life but can’t really get the engine going yet. They still miss the heartbeat in the middle of the field that Kante supplied. It could be another tough season for them with some worry of relegation but they will get hot at some point and finish mid table. 

Tottenham thoroughly outclassed Everton. Although I feel they don’t have enough depth still to win the title, their starting 11 is pure class. Everton meanwhile have a problem. Unfortunately it’s not easily solvable. It’s a $200 million problem and it’s on the field each week. For me the only way to get through this is time. Fielding a consistent 11 and giving these new players more time with each other is the only other conclusion than panic. 

Brighton! It took them 4 games to score but when they did… This is exactly where Brighton will have to get points this season, against low end teams. It’s a long season but I was worrying for Brighton. They need many more performances like these in order to stay up.

It’s a hacky joke at this point but no one wants to play at Stoke. If it weren’t for the ineptitude of Stoke maybe they'd get more points at home. Lukaku certainly didn’t mind going to Stoke but unfortunately for both sides it was an exciting game for the neutral. A point a piece is fair for this result.
