Man. City

Looked very good this weekend. As did Everton and Leicester City.

Palace played well and lost to Arsenal who were deserving of the win in the end.

Man U. scraped through as usual. Nothing very impressive about them but points are points.

Chelsea went off the rails again.

Let's see what happens today. Liverpool should get 3 off Bournemouth at Anfield but I'm not sure that BR has settled on the line up in the middle yet.

Happy for the three points but still a little disappointed with Liverpool. They dodged a bullet again today and if they don't get it together sharpish the luck is going to run out.

The Bournemouth goal should probably have stood, and the Liverpool goal was definitely offside.

I agree that City are looking good (I picked them as champions before the start of the season), and Chelsea have not improved, and are probably weaker because JT is another year older.

I agree that the score should have been the other way round but maybe this is indicative of a change in fortunes for Liverpool.

I can't understand why BR doesn't leave Coutinho on the left and I'm not impressed with Lallana's game so far. It seems that he's at sea. Benteke looked good. Emre Can, Milner and Hederson would be my picks for the midfield.

I am impressed with the back line, Gomez and Clyne have looked very competent.

Next stop Arsenal.

Not looking at any joy there. I feel we'll be fortunate to leave with a point.
