Yeah, i saw that Newcastle got some big chances, but missed it just because they have no good end product. Their end product problem could be fixed if Isak was there, but he's gone. No doubt their fans are callin him like a rat. I guess so much hates will come to Isak very soon.

Newcastle truly had a problem capitalizing against their shots on goal and the absence of Isak did create more work when it came to finishing off plays. Things were not made easier by the cramped defense Villa hosted. Newcastle also had the numerical advantage but did not look cohesive and there was little creator in the third in the final. The fans are annoyed, as they wanted to see more domination but then again that is football sometimes, you may control the game but fail to get the outcome. Hopefully Newcastle can work out their accuracy and chemistry, as they obviously have the talent to be doing better.

Manchester City leads the game against Wolves.

After Wolves sold their good players, I have no idea with their current players, there's a player with nationally Zimbabwe and Haiti, I wonder how the scouters can get those players.

Tottenham had a fantastic day today with Richarlison's world classic second goal, which added to the 3:0 defeat on Burnley. Whose attacking force wasn't strong to take by surprise the fluctuating defensive game of the Spurs, unfortunately, the finisher wasn't there for Burnley to secure a single goal. Tottenham has a strong game play this season, and took every opportunity they saw in today's game.

When he score, he score with acrobatic style. When he not, he has no contribution.

I thought it gonna be a hard match because Tottenham play without Kane and Son, but I think they're just lucky in this match, Kudus is a good player, he just underrated.

Their dominance was evident, especially when Aston Villa played with 10 men, but in the end, it didn't change anything because Newcastle's finishing was truly poor in this match. 16 shots and only 3 on target highlight how lacking their finishing was in this match, and Howe seems to need to come up with a solution while the Isak issue remains unresolved.

In another match, Manchester City are already leading by two goals, and Tijani has already scored his debut goal in an official match.
This is clearly a good start for Manchester City, especially since their issue last season was the poor build-up of attacks, with the supply of balls to Haaland not being good. However, for this match, it seems that Pep is determined to change that, and we've already seen two goals, so it's not impossible that the score will increase in the second half.

No Isak, no the usual Newcastle... He is determined to leave and doesn't want to leave like I said before. As long as they don't find a replacement and sell him, they will be in big loss this season.

Manchester City opened the deadlock after half an hour. The goals came by only a 3-minute interval. Reijnders already scored in his 1st appearance, nice work! Good to see Haaland starting the season with a goal too.

A day left for the main event, Manchester United - Arsenal...

The league is already looking nice as all the big teams are on their winning stance, I hope to see it continue like this before any changes occur again. For the aspects of betting I think this weekend should be an easy win week for all bettors of course if everything actually goes according to how it's supposed to because I know there use to be always one judas that would do things differently in that arrangement of matches. As for the Arsenal game can't wait to see the new players from both team kick off their official league game.

[ITExpert]

I definitely agree with you any team that doesn't have a technical sound Manager will always suffer and struggle no matter the money that is spent in buying players the players in United are actually world class players but the problem has always been a good manager to bring out the Best in them

Yes, i think there is no one who neglects the importance of the coach  in any team. This is the only coach who grabs the inner skills and talent of the players who really knows how to utilise their talent in the favour of the team. Because if the team does not have a good coach then no matter how much they are spending on the well being of the team it will not work. The example of Manchester United is really helpful to ensure the importance of a good coach. They had the players they had the sources and they had a friendly budget but one thing which they don't  have is a reliable coach who helps them to chase the success. If you do not have a good coach then other things are worthless no matter if you bring the world class players to your team.  Because a coach has the ability to destroy or the success of the team.

Manchester City are on another rampage and looks like the want to top the table from game week one, it's 3 goals now and if they add another without a reply then they will end today as the team with the most goals today and thus will automatically be on top of the table with 3 points and +4 goal difference.

This is how the premier league has mostly started in other many seasons with the big teams winning their first matches against the small teams. Now Manchester city and Liverpool has gotten all three points by winning their games with Chelsea left to play tomorrow against crystal palace, a game I presume to not be any easy one for the blues. But the biggest first game of the, Arsenal vs Manchester United am not sure where the 3 points will be heading to but it's like Arsenal are kinda favourite.

Manchester City is indeed playing a brilliant game tonight against Wolves, because in just less than 7minutes Tijjani Reijnders was issued a yellow card for pushing Jean-Ricner Bellegarde at 54minutes into the second half, Erling Haaland has just scored another whooping goal right, making it a clear 3 goals to nil against Wolves tonight, scored at 61minutes and assisted by same Tijjani Reijnders. Which is quite impressive. Hence, I'm very much happy with Manchester City's first impression on the first Premier League game of the season after a short break. And I wish Pep Guardiola and Haaland continues with this same momentum all through their games this season.

Manchester City is indeed an incredible team especially with Pep in it as the head, last season was a real set back and some people already started writing Manchester City off just after one bad season, it's still a funny scenario to me. I know some people will still say it's just Wolves, lol.

I wasn't expecting a different result aside what we have seen from city so far, it is obvious that Manchester city will perform very well this season, I know some person will say that it is very early to conclude on that, yea that true but making conclusion when it has to do with some teams aren't bad,with their performance so far, I think they came prepared this season, this season will likely be very competitive among the big teams, am glad to see this guy's play this way, last season was a kind of boring with bad performance from Manchester city at the mid season before the pick up a bit towards the end of last season, am happy they are back very strong, congratulations to them in this match, leta see what they got next.

Manchester City played an easy match, because it was like a work over game for them. Wolves is too weak to withstand the pressure from Manchester City attackers and Wolve players lack the quality to put themselves back in the game. Their attacking force is weak. Why on earth will a club sell their best players for profit. How do they expect to survive the upcoming storm.

I expected the match to be won by Manchester city, am sure Manchester city won’t want what happened to them last season to repeat itself, they won’t be joking with any match which they are playing right now, and they going to do everything possible to win most of the weak teams which they will be playing. Manchester city signed some players which they believe will improve the teams performance, and Pep Guardiola will do everything possible to win the premier league title this season, since he messed up last season.

Honestly, this performance was what I expected but Burnley has finished the EFL Championship in a good position by taking second place so there was some confusion that they might put Tottenham Hotspur under pressure. And even I thought Burnley would score at least one goal and keep the match evenly contested but they failed miserably in their striking.

Moreover, they were also behind in terms of keeping the ball in this match. Anyway, I thought that Richarlison would score a hat-trick in this match, but the last goal was scored by Johnson.

They really did a fantastic job on winning their first match of the season by 0:4 against Wolves.

I guess Manchester City might have learned some pretty lessons from their last season's humiliating performance, and they're coming to this season fully prepared with the performances that I saw them display in today's game that put them on top of the Premier League table. Guradiola is a man of wisdom and wouldn't want to allow what happened to the club last season to repeat itself, however I don't want to coment so much on this game today as the season is just getting started,  despite their incredibly performance display.

[pawel7777]

A big statement by Man City today. A 4-0 win in an away game against Wolverhampton currently places them at the top of the table, at least until tomorrow's games are concluded.
Two goals by Haaland and one each by Premier League debutants: Cherki (who joined from Olympique Lyon) and Reijnders (joined from AC Milan) who also made one assist.

Liverpool also with a win (4-2 against Bournemouth at home) but things were a bit more chaotic for them. They started off nicely, working out a 2-0 advantage, but then they let the visitors equalise. The final 2 goals for Liverpool were scored in the last minutes of the game.

Arsenal is playing away against Man United tomorrow, which can be an interesting one. Arsenal are a x1.87 favourite, but Man United are unpredictable right now, so anything can happen.

I don’t think anyone will expect Manchester city to lose a match like this, we all know how dangerous Manchester city are, and it’s their first match of the season, they won’t want to lose. Manchester city performance wasn’t that cool last season, but we all saw that pep Guardiola signed some players, and the purpose of signing those players is just to improve the team’s performance. With the kind of squad that wolves are having, then we should known that they can’t hold Manchester City down, no matter how they try, Manchester City are going to score, and wolves doesn’t have a strong attack, so they won’t be able to penetrate Manchester City’s defense, and that was just what happened today.

No Isak, no the usual Newcastle... He is determined to leave and doesn't want to leave like I said before. As long as they don't find a replacement and sell him, they will be in big loss this season.

Manchester City opened the deadlock after half an hour. The goals came by only a 3-minute interval. Reijnders already scored in his 1st appearance, nice work! Good to see Haaland starting the season with a goal too.

A day left for the main event, Manchester United - Arsenal...

As rumors of Isak's move from Newcastle intensified, Newcastle immediately targeted Benjamin Sesko as a replacement. They attempted to hijack Sesko's transfer to Manchester United, and Newcastle even made a larger offer to RB Leipzig than Manchester United. However, despite numerous offers, Newcastle failed to land Sesko, and Sesko ultimately moved to Manchester United, using the same funds they used to sign Hugo Ekitike and Madueke. Sasya didn't quite understand this team. They had strong finances and even secured a place in the Champions League this season, but Newcastle still couldn't get the players they wanted, and even their key players wanted to leave the club.

Meanwhile, Manchester City clearly found the right player to replace KDB. Tijjani Reinders has become a formidable new general in Manchester City's midfield.

Turning to Manchester United and Arsenal, this was the first match of the season, but it felt like a decisive match for how both teams would play in the future. It's hard to believe that Manchester United only managed to finish in the top 15 last season, but every game Manchester United played was a big game.

[Jostern]

Liverpool made no mistake and won at home by four goals. Bournemouth, who had hope until the final 10 minutes, lost the match after conceding goals in the final 10 minutes. It appeared to be a perfect match for Liverpool. The excitement will continue in the Premier League tomorrow afternoon.

This was also the first Premier League match for the new signings: Etienne, Chiesa, Wirtz, and Frimpong. And they each contributed very well in their respective fields. Especially Etienne, who scored one goal and one assist, and Chiesa, who scored Liverpool's first goal. Arne Slot can truly optimize their abilities and immediately form a solid team. A good start for Liverpool.

And Ekitike becomes player of the match.

Source: Hugo Ekitike is your #LIVBOU Player of the Match

It was an exciting game of football, and a football game that was filled with so many emotions, which is the first game that was played at Anfield after the death of Diogo Jota, who will forever remain in our hearts, Liverpool was playing a good game and lead with 2 goals until Bournemouth came back to the game, which made the game interesting, and that is why Premier League will always remain the best Football League in the world, I think Ekitike was excellent scoring a goal and also providing and assist to Cody Gakpo.

When Chiesa came into the game I was quite surprised, what else do I have to say the coach knows better, and I believe that is why he won the league in his first season, Chiesa have had to endure a hard time not playing so many games, I was quite happy with him with his performance and I believe after the loose of Jota and Luis Diaz leaving and Darwin Nunez I think Chiesa is going to have more game time now.

Can we agree if Isak was the one who carried Newcastle last season? Their gameplay is so dull without him. I don't even see how they can finish at the top 4 without having a proper striker played for them. It's also a signal for them if they must buy Jackson from Chelsea as Isak's replacement.
