Hopping Across The North East From Hub To Hub

Is Premier League a 6-team Horse race…Too early to call?

Just four games into the season, things are still unclear on the premier league log. Things start to fall into place when we begin to near ten matches. The issue we have here is that the media don’t have that patience.

Lying eight, ninth and 11th on the log respectively, fans of Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea are not looking at the Premier league table at the moment. All three teams are seeing West Ham and Crystal Palace at the top of the table.

As far as Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea are concerned, their position at the moment is a great deal, and on the other hand casino paypal is willing to offer up some odds in their coming games be it the Premier League or the UEFA competition.

The North London club run a steady ship. Manager Mauricio Pochettino started his sixth season at the club, surpassed by just Eddie Howe and Sean Dyche among the top-flight bosses.

After a season without transfers, this summer, transfer activities were done. Giovani Lo Celso [on loan], Tanguy Ndombele, and Ryan Sessegnon arrived at the London club. Defender Kieran Trippier and striker Fernando Llorente left the club. But the likes of Danny Rose, Toby Alderweireld, and Christian Eriksen, all remained despite links away. If head coach Pochettino can have faith in Christian Eriksen once again and starts to play the Dane, Tottenham might rediscover their form.

Since Sportstownfc confirmed the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, about four managers, including Ryan Giggs, have sat in the Old Trafford dugout, their coming and exits largely decided by fans. Having said that, Norwegian tactician Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at least had a couple of months to access his team and a summer transfer window to rebuild.

Transfer activities were decent done at Old Trafford, as Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James were signed to fill the center-half, right-back, and right-back position. Belgian Marouane Fellaini left for China, Antonio Valencia moved to Ecuador, Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku both joined Inter.

At the moment, the Red Devils squad is greener, younger, and less confident that the ones of Sir Alex Ferguson’s era, but it appears they are traveling on the right route. While fans criticize him for diving, young James has scored three goals in his initial four Premier League games.

For Chelsea, it must be said that they are not on course. With a manager like Frank Lampard who is unproven, younger and fewer experience players than Manchester United, Chelsea is currently serving a ban that doesn’t permit them to sign players before the next summer window. Their poor form this season can be attributed to their early-season injury woes. In attack, Mason Mount is performing pretty well but new boy American Christian Pulisic is not.

With the look of things, Manchester United and Tottenham have what it takes to naturally restore the order. However, all three clubs have the potential to perform respectably well this season.
