Arsenal had difficulty beating Everton because Everton's defense was very good, but Arsenal who performed better in the end were able to win to secure 3 important points. They still managed to maintain their winning trend to remain at the top and compete with Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City.

Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal are the 4 teams that are unbeaten in 5 matches so far. But so far only Manchester City have managed to take all the points from 5 matches and the other 3 teams mentioned have lost 2 points each due to draws. I believe Manchester City can lead the standings for the first 10 matches, but the next 2 of the 5 matches will be very tough because Arsenal and Manchester United are 2 of the 5 teams they will play.

At the moment everything Chelsea will do will be increasingly difficult because if they reshuffle and sack again for the position of coach then it will not be the answer but on the other hand in the end with Pochettino and the reshuffle he did until now has not found good results which makes them now like they can't do anything.
Next week they will face Aston Villa and I am not too sure their performance will be different in the match and it is not impossible that a draw or even a loss is also possible in the match against Aston Villa.

To me,  Asernal had a successful outing in this weekeven though this Sunday game end with a gaol difference in favor of Asernal and coming up against another stronger club like Evarton is a big deal that Asernal have to celebrate their winning and at least with this winning now,  Asernal is gradually moving towards the last season position.

And hopefully Asernal could break the record the failed to achieve in the last season due to be challenge or the other towards to end of the season where they were finally pushed down by ManchesterCityy.

Chelsea is still the way, they were last season, nothing has changed in their performance. Getting a new coach and spending a lot during the transfer window didn't change anything because they have been performing very poor in their matches just like last season.

Pochettino needs to come up with a new strategy to motivate these players in order for them to put in their best performance. Jao Felix is performing very well in Barca currently, compared to when he was in Chelsea last season. This shows that there is a problem in the coaching side, or maybe the players don't have passion to win matches.

It wasn't an easy win for Arsenal despite being in control especially in the second half. But getting three points was the important point of course. Trossard hasn't been scoring a goal in Premier League games for a very long time. But today he scored the winning goal and finally finished this bad streak for himself.

Things are going well for Arsenal in the league. But they might need to improve their performance a little more in the long term. This is important for especially big games. Their next game is against Tottenham in Emirates so I really wonder how this game will end.

Picking up just five points in a possible 15 points is absolutely a poor result for a club like Chelsea after breaking the world records for the most expensive transfer window for a club. Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is supposed to do more than what we've seen so far.
After Chelsea's performance in their first English Premier League game against Liverpool, I thought that there was a very significant improvement from what we saw from the club last season but unfortunately, the club is still far from coming back to their best. It's still very early days of the season but I'll be surprised to see Chelsea finish I the top four at the end of the season.

 Manchester united are gradually losing their  pride in EPL as one of the biggest and strongest in the league, their fortress which Ten Hag and his boys have secured for the past 31 home matches have finally been crumbled by Brighton a team team that beat them at home last season, if you noticed they're the only team that lost  last week, even Chelsea that I expected to lose the game today drew today, they need to find a way to improve before it gets too late.
 
 About today Arsenal impressed me i love the pressured they mounted  on the home team even while they packed the box and made it tough for Arsenal to create better chances but Arsenal didn't relent they dominated the game and forced the home team to give them an opportunity to create a chance which they converted to a goal in the 69th by Trossard who came from the bench to replace Gabriel Martinelli.

Really read your writing and the arguments you made in this regard.
We have to realize what these 3 defeats that Manchester United have suffered are because of?
They are not better in attack but by looking at the matches they did see how bad their defense is. 4 matches done how many goals did the opposing team put into their goal? is that okay for Manchester United's defense?


As I said before if Manchester United are aware of their performance then I think it's not just about competition because they can still qualify in second place especially by looking at the clubs currently in Group A which only have Galatasaray and Copenhagen actually they can still qualify at runner up but the problem is with Manchester United's performance now it could be difficult.
Manchester United's problems are too complex now and it is compounded by internal problems that occur to some players such as Antony and Sancho and fitness problems that still haunt some players at this time.
Honestly, this is worrying if it continues to be allowed because Manchester United may not be able to withstand this pressure which makes them even more devastated.

The funny thing is that now they have an easy series of games - out of 5 games, the only serious rivals were Liverpool and somehow Chelsea managed to draw with them. Further games will be more intense and if Chelsea loses to the favorites and the same losers (in the moment) like Newcastle or United, then they simply will not rise from 14th place where they are now.

Every time the Gunners visit Goodison Park, Everton's headquarters. Not infrequently, Arsenal always finds it difficult to overthrow this team. Last season, at the first meeting at Everton's headquarters, Arsenal even had difficulty breaking into Everton's goal even though Arsenal controlled the game and had ball possession. In fact, Arsenal lost at that time with a narrow score of 1-0. In this match, the Gunners were again in trouble against Everton.
Moreover, as we all know. Sean Dyche, always uses his bus parking formation. In this match, he applied a similar system pattern when he met the Gunners. Arsenal actually had several opportunities, but fortunately the Everton goalkeeper was able to deny them. Fortunately for Arsenal, a combination of fast ball transitions between Odegaard, Saka, and continued by Trossard, which resulted in Arsenal's winning goal. With this result, Arsenal moved up one place above Brighton.

For Manchester United and Chelsea, these two teams need improvements to improve their performance. if not, don't expect to be able to compete at the top of the Premier League standings. Liverpool, got positive results and this will increase the motivation of Jurgen Klopp's squad. for City, we don't need to mention it. and what is quite special is Tottenham, without Kane they were able to occupy 2nd place in the standings. The following week, it will be a tough match for Spurs who visit the Gunners headquarters. This match should present an interesting match.

Such a hard knuckle was Everton today right ? Arsenal had a lot of scoring chances but Everton defenders were on point today and I think a draw should have been the correct result to happen. Nevertheless , Arsenal did was they always do and that was to attack until the last minute which eventually led them to score in minute 69 and secure 3 important points.

EPL start of the season is a great one so far and if this trend continues , we might have a battle in 3 for the title until the end of the season with City , Arsenal and Spurs even if most of you won't agree with me that Spurs can fight for the title this year.  

If there is anyone to blame, then I agree that Pochettino definitely deserves the blame. His strategy did not make Chelsea better in some of matches in terms of performance, of course that is a shortcoming that will reduce Pochettino's time as coach. There is no proof from him, as he said before, that he can restore Chelsea's performance and make them compete at the top, but in fact he has still failed so far.

We all know that Chelsea has spent so much money, but as we can see that it is just in vain. Chelsea's biggest disadvantage this season is that they don't have many players including strikers who are able to change the game for the better.

I didn't regret Chelsea dropping points in previous matches. But I was very disappointed with Chelsea's performances against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. Chelsea lost 1-0 against Nottingham Forest and today drew goalless against Bournemouth. Today's match at least I expected better performance from Chesley. But as usual Chelsea's performance was very poor. The performance of Chelsea's attacking players was poor. The performance of the players made me feel like they were aimless. They have no match strategy. Coach Pochettino has failed so far. There was nothing he could demonstrate to prove his ability. Chelsea management may be looking for a new coach again.

If you know the history behind Arsenal's performance against Everton at Goodison Park, you will confirm that Arsenal tried, as they were able to win the match today.

Considering last season’s Arsenal performance, Everton managed to beat Arsenal at this same venue, and they were battling for relegation then. Today’s win is an important one for Arsenal because they finally have a win against Everton at Goodison Park after six years.

With the way Arsenal played today, they can face any team without fear because they have all the players they need in the team. For them not to score more than two goals is because of the nature of the opponents and the pressure behind the Arsenal team against Everton. So many people were thinking that history would repeat itself, but the players showed momentum, and the result is in their favor.

I don't think this is a case where you can exhale over a draw. Bournemouth are a place lower in the table than Chelsea, it's the second half of the table.... Chelsea have to get out of there somehow, but every time they do, it's disappointing. Bournemouth played too freely, which only proves Chelsea's weakness at the moment....

Whoever is responsible for transfer decisions and squad engineering needs to say goodbye. If United spend 200 million euros and they should get one of the likes of haaland, bellingham, mbappe and kane instead of mount, onana and hojlund. Or do not miss out on Cancelo or get the boys from Napoli at least. The club's internal technical team can neither bring in players from the youth system, nor develop existing players, nor adapt newcomers quickly.

If you want to bet on Chelsea, then you have to realize that you have to be prepared to lose money.
Chelsea continually fail to win games that they can basically win, but Pochettino still seems to have difficulty coming up with a good strategy for his team to play well and win.

I also don't know why Pochettino doesn't try playing Sterling as a left winger but he tends to play him as a right winger. Sterling is good on the left and Pochettino should know that, so it's true that Chelsea is currently in a strategic crisis even though they have a lot of expensive players.


Everton did not threaten Arsenal with a lot of shots on goal, nor did they threaten with a high percentage of ball possession, but their defense and goalkeeper performance really put Arsenal in danger of dropping points if Leandro Trossard did not break the deadlock. But of course it's true, 1 goal is enough to lock in 3 points this week.

5 points after 5 rounds is completely fucked up, of course   I don’t think that the parallel failures of United and Newcastle somehow reassure Chelsea fans because it was supposed that this would be a season for them with a complete focus on the Premier League (while other clubs are putting their energy into European competition), but so far there is nothing but failures. And I don’t think that Pochettino has time until January, if the team does not start defeating at least weak and average opponents, he will be fired.

Well, West Ham did cause City some problems (not much though), as is typical of West Ham they were a threat on the counter, they'll sit back, soak pressure, and whenever they break it is very dangerous, and that was how they got their goal. City controlled the game even though at one point it seemed as if they were going to share the points. Having said that, City still have their 100% record, the rest of the league would not like this, City have won three EPL titles in a row, if they make it four it'll mean the EPL is now somewhat of a farmer's league.

It was good to see that Arsenal remained patient because they controlled the game almost all the time and the ball hardly left Everton's half of the pitch, which is why Arsenal knew that one successful attack will do the job. They didn't lose patience and kept playing their attacks with strategy and did not fall back on long balls hoping for the one lucky header. They have tried to find the gap in the defense line and the moment when Everton was showing some exhaustion and loss in concentration they played perfect ping pong through the defense and Trossard scored a perfect one touch goal.
