As a Chelsea fan I honestly didn't expect us to win our first 4 matches, however, I expected a beautiful football to watch regardless of trophies for Sarri's first season even tho he gave us 3 months period to let the players adapt to his football it seems like they are almost there. Playing attractive football doesn't often gets you trophies in the EPL. My expectations this season is a minimum of top 4. I'm happy with what I'm watching in terms of football style and results. May this keep going. COYB!
So, the first 4 game of the PL are over and I thought it would be a good time to make a first assessment of our feeling about what been going on.
Liverpool
Liverpool has been really suprising for me, they fixed their defense a lot, conceding only a single goal in 4 games and winning all of those. Their attacking however seemed a bit less organised and I feel like they sometime failed to dominate game like they should. Will be interesting to see if they keep their form.
Chelsea
An even bigger suprise than Liverpool for me was Chelsea, they had a great start to their season and Sarri playing style impressed me. He certainly didn't waste a minute adapting to the league and managed to score a minimum of 2 goal per games. Their looking much better than I thought at first, seem like Sarri game plan is a lot more viable in the pl than I would have imagined.
Watford
Really impressive beggining of the season for Watford, lots of people and me included expected those guy to end the season without a lot of point but they have seriously proved me wrong, would be nice if they kept this up but I'm not expecting a Leicestrer out of them.
Manchester City
Not much to say about them, their beggining of season is looking pretty good despite an unlucky draw against Watford. Its certainly seem like other team feel a bit more comfortable defending against them at time however.
Tottenham
Spurs are doing ok with a major win against United and 9 point. However, its hard not to think it was dissapointing how they collapsed against Watford. Feel like they won't have enough depth to go all the way this season, still, they should remain a big player as the season continue.
Everton
A bit dissapointed by them to be fair, I know a lot of people warned me about getting excited about them and I guess they were right. They got a single win and 3 draw wich isn't bad but considering who they played against, its not a good record. They need to keep control in the game when they take the lead, right now, they took too many goal in my opinion. Hoping Mina help fix that problem.
Arsenal
Actually pretty happy with their results, they need to fix their defense but I liked the way they played despite the rough beggining.
Manchester United
A big defeat to a rival at home and another loss to Brighton is certainly dissapointing for United. But still, they certainly still enough quality to turn thing around. Their 2-0 win against Burnley is certainly a good sign but we will see if they manage to find a much needed consistency.
West Ham
Ok, I'm going to be sincere, those guy are my biggest dissapointement of the season so far, I know its early and that they already played both Liverpool and Arsenal but come on! With Pellegrini on board and all the new signing, they should do better than this. They only scored 2 goal as of now and let 10 in. Thats not the results a team with players like that should be happy with.
What bout you guys though? Suprise of the season? Dissapointement?
