Liverpool really enjoyed themselves at home, i didn’t believe they would comfortably beat Brentford this way, they dominated the game all through they created a lot of chances but were able to convert just two which was enough for them to take all 3 points and proceed on their title charge. They have not really been tested so far because they have been playing against weak teams. Let’s see how Slot and his boys will perform against a worthy opponent, they will be playing Manchester United next weekend which is more of a test than their past opponents. United are not at their best yet but they are capable of testing Liverpool and will show how improved and ready Liverpool is this season.

Easy win for Liverpool, they are two for two, and Arne Slot looking like he was the right choice without a doubt. I think one of the things we need to talk about is Brighton, they are really showing how great they are this season and they may actually do very well. Manchester United losing that game makes no sense at all and I think it's clear that they need to do a lot better, it's just not even that good at the moment.

I think we need to consider that United has a problem that goes beyond the pitch, it is not even just about the manager anymore and they need to do something about this. It's clear that we are going to end up with good results one way or another, but I doubt they will finish that much higher this season at all, they will probably finish around the same levels.

Wolves - Chelsea is the most electrifying match I have watched since the season started. From Chelsea’s performance today, I don’t think Enzo Maresca needs a number 9 anymore. Nicolas Jackson was impressive in the game scoring one goal and gave an assist. No doubt, having Victor Osimhen in the team would be a great addition to the squad but right now I don’t think it is a necessity for Chelsea especially with the money involved in that signing.

As usual Man City have clamb ontop of premier league table again this season after beating Ipswich town 4 -1 yesterday I think they are going to take premier league title again this season, because looking at the premier league now I don't really think if any club would be able to defeat them.

Because as long as england premier league is concerned Man City still remains the best club. However, I think the only club I see that will only stop man city from taking the premier league title this season is only Arsenal because they would like to correct their past mistake.

Let us be honest with ourselves, Manchester city is still going to win this season's title again, what a good performance from Manchester City, Ipswich scored a goal just a minute after the match started and before the first half of the match Manchester City had given Ipswich back with 3 goals, Manchester city is performing and from the look at things they are still going to be a problem for Arsenal this season, Arsenal play against Aston villa yesterday and we can see how arsenal struggle in the first half and at the second half they score two goals to win the match.

Manchester City will still be a problem for Arsenal if care is not taken, And the way Haaland scored goals yesterday shows that he is still the one to win the Premier League Golden Boot, he has been winning it over two years now and he still wants to win it this season, I think premier league player's need to wake up and play well for their team because Manchester city is turning the premier league into something else.

Manchester City is in a very strong position this season as in previous seasons. And it would not be wrong to say that Manchester City is the strongest team in the Premier League. And it probably did for Guardiola. Guardiola has built a strong squad. And he doesn't make too many changes within this squad. So the bonding between the players is very strong. And this is why the Manchester City team is able to consistently perform well.

But I think it won't be easy for Manchester City to dominate the Premier League this season. There is no doubt that City are strong. But Arsenal and Liverpool teams are also strong enough. Last season we saw Arsenal team fight hard to win the title. And City were a bit lucky to win the Premier League title. However, there is no doubt that the Premier League will be very competitive this season as well. At the same time, the road to the title won't be easy for City.

Liverpool is leading 2-0 in a home game against Brentford and it's almost full time, so looks like a certain 3 points for the Reds.
Brentford is one of the weakest teams out there (at least on paper) so it's hardly a test. Liverpool will be playing away against Man Utd next week, if they win, that will be a good indicator of their form and on whether or not they will be serious contenders to reach for the title this season.

Are you watching Wolves v Chelsea right now? It has been an amazing match so far. Cheesy

Chelsea are 4-2 ahead now but it hasn't been easy at all. Wolves have tried their best until a point.

Couldn’t miss it for any reason. I was surprised how Chelsea ended up winning the game with such goal margin after struggling throughout the first half, Wolves were the better side in the first half and they managed to equalize every goal they conceded in the first half but they couldn’t bring same energy in the second half.

Chelsea still need some improvement to do especially with their new tactics, the first half showed that they are yet to perfect it but i believe they will soon. Good performance from Chelsea they should build on the momentum and improve their game.

Top work by Chelsea today! They really destroyed Wolves especially thanks to their second half performance. I don't know what Enzo Maresca told his players but it seems like it worked a lot. Grin

This is just the Chelsea I would like to watch. I wouldn't like to get complacent though but this big win must give some confidence to the team. This shows they can win hard against weaker teams on paper.

I would like to see this spirit in big games at the same time. You know the Manchester City game on the first week. I wish they were able to score at least. Sad

But hopefully they get more effective in such games as time goes on.

This is the first biggest win this season in the Premier League. Chelsea played very well, they were very effective in building attacks and they deserved this victory. Wolves also did not play badly in the first half, they were able to provide such tight resistance, but in the second half Chelsea were able to fix their game so that they were successful with the goals they managed to create.
If they can maintain their game like this, then it is not impossible that they will be able to compete at the top this season. But the problem is we still don't know how consistent they are in maintaining the game. Consistency is still a problem for some clubs, and maybe that could also happen to Chelsea this season.

There is no doubt that Chelsea's players performed well today. Although the first half ended 2-2, the Chelsea players completely dominated the match from the beginning of the second half. Especially in the second half, Noni Madueke scored a hat trick in just 14 minutes. Madueke scored his first goal in the 49th minute and his third in the 63rd minute. And the last goal of the match was scored by Joao Felix.

Chelsea played very well indeed. But we saw such a performance of Chelsea in the previous season as well. This team has played well in several matches in the previous season as well and won by a big margin. However, Chelsea's performance throughout the season was erratic. It was impossible to predict in which matches Chelsea's players would perform well. If Chelsea's performance continues to be this erratic this season, we won't see Chelsea in the top four of the table.

Crystal Palace hosted West Ham at home.Crystal Palace were the favorites at home but they were not at their best compared to their opponents.West Ham won the match with second half goals and got their first win but Crystal Palace got their second defeat.
Southampton lost at home to Nottingham Forest.Although Southampton had more possession at home, it was not normal for Nottingham Forest to shoot 4 times more than their opponent away from home.Nottingham Forest tried to find goals only with shots and they were successful in this.Neither team had a win before this match and Nottingham got their first win.

Mad game from Chelsea. We lost 4-2 in a bad game at Wolves in away game last year. But it's now paying off. This is going to be an up and down year for Chelsea. Outstanding performance from Chelsea's attackers; they're fast and have better accuracy. But still, their defensive line is terrible to watch.

I think if Maresca plays Lavia for Enzo and Netto for Mudryk, they will do better. Netto's injury-prone nature always overshadows us. But, despite playing for a short time, he contributed a lot.

And i haven't seen a Chelsea team as fluid as this in years. We'll need to sort the defense out though, then we're ready to face the strict competitions for UCL spot.

Brighton 2 - 1 Manchester United

It was a game with many events that made me laugh. Honestly, Manchester United fans have great reasons to cry.

Mhan, the game was tough and hilarious at the same time...
Rashford's goal was canceled since it was clearly an offside and the pain went straight to united fans...lol
Zirkzee got intercepted in garnacho goal and again, that was an offside .. looks to me like United had a bad turnover and luck was far from them.

Well on the other hand, the assist from mitoma that led to welbeck's goal was finesse... Passing just right after harrys foot into their competition, it was a goal!! Brighton really had a upper hand in the game and their touches were superb. That has made them stronger in their ^2nd position in the table.

By the way I couldn't watch Brighton - Manchester United live but watched the recap later. That disallowed goal because of Zirkzee's being in the wrong place at the wrong time... That could have really been the winning goal for them. Sad

Going by the rules of the game, Joshua Zirkzee's position and reaction at that moment made it an obvious offside so there's little we can actually do about it. If the goal has stood, I think Manchester United would've probably won the game or at worst go home of Brighton with a point but it didn't and the home team had to score few minutes later to grab all three points from the game.
Manchester United I think should be worried with their performance in the game and must significantly improve if they really want to contest for the league title this season.

I agree that Manchester United victory in the first match was purely luck because in terms of quality there was nothing impressive at all. Then in the second match it was clear that Manchester United were even more disorganized. This is a bad sign if a club as big as Manchester United continues to experience defeat when they are most active in bringing in players. There is no harm in temporarily concluding that Manchester United recruitment has had no impact. And next week could be an inevitable defeat, Liverpool must be looking forward to the match to destroy the mentality of Manchester United players and Erik Ten Hag. The real threat is before their eyes. Roll Eyes

Many observers were basically worried about Manchester United's defeat in the match against Brighton before the match. It all has a basis, of course they reviewed Manchester United's previous performance when they faced Brighton. It was proven that Brighton could win the match in the end even though they were actually lucky to score a goal due to a team injury. So in essence, Manchester United's defeat on the road doesn't really surprise me.

There are important problems that Ten Hag must resolve if he wants to improve Manchester United's performance. He should be able to organize and choose a good line-up before the match instead of putting a lot of trust in players who are performing poorly. I don't think Rashford has improved, even Bruno Fernandes is not that impressive. Ten Hag must take responsibility for this defeat and he must dare to appear different in the next match.

Just a few minutes to the final whistle, and Arne Slot's side is still leading by 2-0 at Anfield, it is almost certain that they will win the match because they are the dominant side and they have performed credibly well in the match as we can see.

I am surprised by Arne Slot's performance, he didn't sign any player and he is doing very well because he has yet to lose any match since joining the team which is a very good record for him, especially after playing his second Premier League match without losing.

Although, just as you said, Brentford is not more a tough team in the EPL, they lost their value, especially after selling some of their important players, but yet, they won their first match against Crystal Palace. Congratulations to Arne Slot on his second win in charge if Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp's successor.

Chelsea are 4-2 ahead now but it hasn't been easy at all. Wolves have tried their best until a point.

We have at least 30 more minutes to watch now. Do you think that Chelsea would lose points today? I don't feel like it will happen. I assume they wouldn't shock their fans from this point. Grin

It will be a really satisfying win for them without doubt. My only suggestion for them would be to improve their defense strategies. Because it is 4 goals they have conceded in 2 matches so far. It doesn't give good signals for the coming matches...

The first half was very interesting to watch because both teams were able to put pressure on each other, even Wolves, who lost in terms of player quality actually able to match Chelsea game in that match, their were actually able to continue to put pressure for Chelsea defense and made it difficult for Chelsea with every attack that was launched by Wolves in that match, but in the second half, I no longer saw wolves being able to maintain their performance and it was even very visible that in the second half the their defense was not Again being able to stem every Chelsea attack which continued to bombard the Wolves' goal with 4 consecutive goals, to be honest, when I saw Chelsea game in the second half, I Just can say fantastic...!

After Jorgen Strand Larsen's goal towards the end of the second half, I thought Chelsea had come with its normal performance. The club has a culture of giving out cheap goals each time they are ahead. But the second shocked me because it seemed Enzo Maresca did something extraordinary in the dressing room. Chelsea came out blazing in the attack. They showed so much class and took all the available opportunities at their disposal leading to four goals in the second half.

https://svenska.yle.fi/sport
Noni Madueke was the biggest star today but it wouldn't have been possible without the golden Cole Palmer. The English international Palmer will be one of the biggest stars this season if he continues with this quality. His second goal was a beauty, looping over the Wolves goalkeeper, José Sá.

Chelsea showed lots of improvement in the attack but the defence was not encouraging especially in the first half. They were not able to handle setpeices which led to the two goals. Wesley Fofana and Malo Gusto didn't communicate very well in the first half but the second half was better. A good performance from Nicolas Jackson and congratulations to the super sub Joao Felix. But they need to replicate this performance when they meet big clubs.

Man I was fummin but it's what it is right now and there's nothing we can do about it. This is just match day two and the way fans are calling for Erik Ten Hag to be sacked is just crazy.

I was expecting them to call out Harry Maguire for making double blunders and also the selection of Erik Ten Hag not going ahead to say they should show him the exit.
People and fans who say that are not just made but also dumo in the head without a proper knowledge of football. In between, they fail to think and analyse for themselves.

Next game against Liverpool, it's either Joshua Zirkzee starts as a number nine or Marcus Rashford. Garnacho shouldn't be dumped on the bench please.

There first game is usually suppose to be a motivation and Manchester to me did not do well when they played against Fulham because even their winning was towards the ending of the game so a lot of things are their that can be used to checkmate the performance of Manchester United. A lot of people thought that after acquiring a defender the game of Manchester United would have changed but their is only a slight difference and that is because games are just starting, and they lost the second one and that is the best that Manchester United's can do and I pity does that their expectations are high of Manchester United, with what they are seeing by now they should have concluded in their mind what the result of Manchester United will end up looking like.
