One team that has managed to surprise me upon seeing that league table is Manchester United. Mehn, being at the second place after several bad starts and bottom table spots is really a big deal though, the EPL this season is about staying consistent and that's what Chelsea is very much lacking. Chelsea really played a bad game today. They might have managed a die minutes both team score but, on a general note, they had a bad play and deserved to loose. How can you allow a team like Manchester city to score an early go and even a second one... It's just not the way to contest with top teams.
I agree with you that Manchester United's performance this season is indeed surprising, even though the start of the season has been bad
but it's slowly starting show improvement. This cannot be separated from the contribution of Bruno Fernandes, I see Manchester United are
very lucky to get this player. Because most of the goals created by Manchester United came from Fernandes' contributions. I'm sure this season
Manchester United will are in the top 4.
For the Chelsea vs Manchester City match, I am very disappointed with Chelsea's performance so far. Imagine in the first half immediately conceding
3 goals. It's clear that Manchester City already kill the game, I am confused by Lampard's tactics when dealing with an offensive team like Manchester
City by playing open. Of course, with the quality of City players who are very good, given the open space will create goals. If this season Chelsea failed
to enter the top 4, better that Lampard was fired as coach. Because this season Lampard brought in as many players as he wanted, but couldn't deliver
the good game.
