Title: 2017-18 Premier League
Post by: austro on August 12, 2017, 04:50:23 pm
Geez, Limey, Palace falls 3-0 at home to Huddersfield? Ouch.

But it was nice to see Chelsea stumble out of the gate.

Seeing Chelsea stumble is always good

That was a horrific display, but Huddersfield appear to have unearthed a real gem in MouniĆ©.  de Boer's new system is going to take time to bed in.  Ironically, having had them drilling on passing their way up the pitch, he actually wanted them to look long to bypass Huddersfield's full court press.  Next week will be interesting when Palace travel to Liverpool - where we have had much success in recent times and who look all at sea defensively.  That could end up 5-5. 

I didn't see the Chelsea game, but it certainly effed up my fantasy team (Cahill and Courtois).  Man Utd look to be the real deal, albeit against West Ham who I doubt will mount a serious challenge to most teams in the league.  They also ensured that Palace aren't bottom right now.

Oh, and Brighton lost too.

United looked disturbingly good. But we'll have to wait to see how they do against a stouter defense.

If Alli can keep his emotions in check, Spurs should get over the hump.  They need a better Champions League showing than last season.
