Hats off to Newcastle. They managed to recover from losing 0-2 to 2-2 by scoring two goals against the current Premier League Champions despite playing with 10 men after Gordon received a red card at the end of the first half.
Unfortunately for them, Liverpool scored another one at the 10th minute of stoppage time, so they haven't earned a single point, but it was still impressive. Their next 2 games should be easier (Leeds and Wolves) so they should be able to boost their league position up.

In the other game, Fulham tied with Man United 1-1. Both teams played on a similar level, which doesn't spark much hope for Man United's return to their greatness. If things don't improve significantly soon, the best they can hope is the middle of the table.

They have themselves to blame  for today's loss, they were literally all over Liverpool from the get go and should have been up by 3 goals in the first half, they created the most chances and where the better team in the first half but couldn't utilize the chances. A red card, and 3 injuries and still managed to bottled it on the last minutes.

Losing the game is not the problem but losing 3 players to potential hamstring injury and a Red. That's 4 players out of their next game. Tough times ehhh?

It was a bad that Gordon received a red card in the first half, which seriously weakened Newcastle's strength. However, Newcastle didn't give up easily. Even with only 10 men, they managed to equalize after the red card, scoring two goals by the 88th minute. Arne Slot was already quite frustrated with this situation, as they were leading in every position, but the score was still a draw.

And with the 90+6 minute on the clock, Arne Slot changed tactics to a more aggressive style, bringing on another striker, Rio Ngumoha, to replace the midfielder. And just four minutes later, he managed to score the winning goal with an assist from Mohamed Salah. It was truly a tense match.

If their performance continues like this, Man United will again have difficulty breaking into the European Zone because other teams are starting to show their quality, especially since the EPL has so many strong teams that make the competition for the top 6 positions very competitive. Losing 5 points in the first two games of the season made Amorim need to make tactical changes in his squad, the 3-4-2-1 formation used when facing Fulham was very ineffective, the proof is that the only goal that prevented them from losing came from an own goal by a Fulham player.

Having the goal of reaching the Champions League or Europa League zone is certainly a good thing, but I think Manchester United's focus now should be on how to improve their defense and their blunt attack.

The standings will follow when their performance can be said to be good, but for now, it is clearly very difficult to achieve. Two of their matches ended unsatisfactorily, and they only managed to secure one point clearly not a good start for a club like Manchester United.

They have been given the necessary resources to acquire the players Amorim desires, but so far, their performance has yet to deliver anything worth celebrating.
If Manchester United continues in this manner, the circumstances they faced in recent seasons could very well repeat themselves this season.

Liverpool barely won against Newcastle to keep its all win journey. Liverpool took the lead with goals in 35th minute. Newcastle's Gordon got a VAR assisted red card at the end of the first half. Making Newcastle play half of the rest match with 10 players. Liverpool doubled the lead with Hugo Ekitike's goal. After that Newcastle came on attack and scored two goals to level the game.
Liverpool nearly missed a point against Newcastle and they were relived by the last minute goal in the injury time by substitute youngster Rio Ngumoha.
There are currently 3 teams with all wins in premier league and the top two contenders Liverpool and Arsenal would meet next proving who is better.

I was honestly not surprised seeing Chelsea beat westham with that number of goals in that match, and this is because before the game began, I had expected Chelsea to win the game by two or three goals, but fortunate enough for them, they added extra two goals which really is commendable, but it's also important we know that westham isn't a team that is in the same level with Chelsea, Chelsea is way higher and better in terms of performance.

And speaking of whether or not Chelsea will not lose any game all through this season, I would say it's unlikely, Chelsea will definitely at some point lose some games for sure, westham isn't the strongest of the team or club playing in this season, so the fact that Chelsea were able to defeat them shouldn't make us begin to see Chelsea as a mini-god that can't be beaten by other clubs.

After that terrible first game, it is definitely great that Chelsea had an easy win. They needed that one because it looked like they weren't going to be that great. This is important because they didn't win just with one or two goals, they scored five goals, and won in a dominating way. That shows that they are normally very good when they play like they are at their 100%.

Now they need to just fix the inconsistency of the team, and should be able to do a lot better. Spurs looks awesome meanwhile. They are two out of two, and they beat City on the last game, they looked strong against PSG as well. Nobody really expected them to have such kind of "turn the ship around" this quickly, look at United they are still failing. Spurs will be a team to look at this season.

Ignoring the injury concerns that Arsenal have going to that game, I still think they are favorites to win that game. The new signings that they have made make it possible to fill up those spaces that the injury to those players have left. With Arsenal's good attacking ability Liverpool have a lot to be concerned about in that game because if Arsenal are able to get a goal before they do trying to score Arsenal will be a very difficult because Arsenal defenses has been solid this season against top teams like Manchester United and even against Leeds.

Hugo Ekitike has had a good start to the Premier League, in the next game, he will face the best two CB's in the EPL since the last two seasons.

Liverpool missed two goals again, and all that helps them win now is their good attacking play. Newcastle has only 1 point after two rounds, this is bad, but the opponents were also difficult. Despite all doubts, Liverpool continues to win, and I can classify Newcastle as a difficult opponent, a victory over which can be considered an important achievement. I expected a lot of goals in this match, but I doubted that Liverpool would be able to beat Newcastle away.

Chelsea for me has a really strong team, as well as having enough quality strikers. Joao Pedro was a really good buy because this is a very strong and promising player! He was their dragging force to the Club World Cup victory.
So Enzo Maresca should already be happy with his strikers. I had heard that Nkunku would leave Chelsea but no team seems to have made a concrete request

Unfortunately, Chelsea could only manage a draw in their first match against Crystal Palace, leaving them with only four points, but Chelsea are still in the top three of the Premier League this time.

On the other hand, I'm quite surprised by Tottenham's strong start to the season. At least, they are the only club other than Arsenal to win twice at the start of the season, placing them in the top two.

However, Tottenham have made very good and potential signings so far, such as Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Luka Vuskovic, and several other midfield players. The results have been quite promising. And now, Tottenham is rumored to be approaching Bayer Leverkusen center-back Piero Hincapié.

Source: Tottenham approach Bayer Leverkusen for Piero Hincapié with new proposal.

Tottenham have been impressive this season with back to back wins in the premier league even against Manchester City but are about to record back to back loses to Arsenal in the transfer window lol. As if losing Eberechi Eze to Arsenal wasn’t enough Spurs are gearing up for another loss if Arsenal win the race for Piero Hincaié’s signature.

Tottenham's effort and strength are going quite well in this league and if they improve themselves in the same way, they can also gain a lot of dominance. I do not expect a good game from Manchester city this time because Manchester city has become a very weak team whose defense is not that good for itself. Arsenal's strength is also clear to us, but due to some weakness and changes in the game, they will leave some shortcomings on their side. But I think that even if they are not successful in this, if Arsenal works hard, they can achieve this victory even without signings. Because Arsenal has such talent within them and is a successful team.

Eze to Arsenal is indeed a dream come true for both player and the club fans. For me this is the most exciting transfer of the summer for Arsenal, I can’t measure the level of excitement I feel for this deal and the fact that Arsenal hijacked this transfer deal from their rivals Spurs just puts the icing on the cake lol.

One of the fastest deal on this transfer market this season. It seems Tottenham were never serious from the beginning hence the delay and wasting of time to get the deal sealed. Eze on the other hand has no interest joining Tottenham and couldn't hide the excitement when Arsenal show interest. To be honest, Arsenal are really pulling out big deals this season and they are actually good players but we are we to predict their success? I hope they turn things around positively this season because Arterta has definitely no excuse again.

So complicated offer from Tottenham Hotspur for signing Eze until reach agreement deal with Arsenal, have longer time Eze rumor will move to Tottenham Hotspur but finally serious offering from Arsenal easily both side reach agreement deal.
I think  Eze looking for how bigger opportunity for winning trophy between moving to Tottenham Hotspur or Arsenal indeed both team will offer not really difference salary payment.
However Tottenham Hotspur still solid after winning last two consecutives games in premier league, I think Spurs still try to get another players for signing after several players have rejected with Spurs offer.

[Volgastallion]

What a fucking joke is Totenham as a team, poor fans and poor team itself, i mean they cant win anything important in years, they lose a ton of games against his rival and now they also fail in even buy players, what a failure of a team. They need to reborn in someway.

Is this "new" spurs team without Son and Kane a new one? Or is still the same with other names?

[Oluwa-btc]

Oh not again not again he said  (commercial meme)

Im talking about the Manchester United, they again made quite a good game against Arsenal in the first journey but when they have to face a low tier team like Fulham they play like always, an that is like shit.

Yesterday they were the same shit team as the previous seasons, so here we go again, the same team the same troubles.

Maybe if Bruno Fernandez had converted that penalty we wouldn't have seen a bum post like this one. Maybe if Cunha had converted his chances we would have been 2 goals ahead after the first 45mins but I'm no longer playing the blame game. It happened and it already happened,  now all the coach need do is bring in a good atmosphere for the players ahead of the new game. They're not completely shit believe that.

I have to mention I'm impressed with the new transfer of Eze to Arsenal successfully, I know Arsenal has had eye on him since but they still went on to secure other attacking targets of theirs earlier in this summer while Tottenham was also on the brink of securing his signature. Now it has been confirmed during the last match but could not play against the 5 - 0 match against Leed.  I'm happy for Eze because he will be wearing the number 10 of the club and will have the opportunity to perform in Arsenal's most likely first tough match which will be against Liverpool on the 31st of the month. I hope Eze is able to showcase his capabilities in the match and I won't want to miss this match.

[Lidger]

Manchester City suffered an undeserved defeat against Tottenham at Etihad stadium. City played well and created enough chances, but with the goals conceded in the game, it broke their moral. The Gk, Trafford who isn't worth as a good backup goalkeeper made things worse. I feel Man city should intensify their pursuit for Donnarumma who will likely be a good goalkeeper for them; Trafford was really unprofessional in his performance.

The second goal City conceded was entirely Trafford's doings. I wonder how furious pep Guardiola felt after the match. Haaland and Marmoush made up the forward line playing an excellent football but neither of them scored in the game. Marmoush on the other hand wasted too many chances. The entire team is facing an instability in their games, so Pep Guardiola urgently need to find a better solution in goal and the forward area.

Manchester City were already favourites before they took to the field against Tottenham, and this match was held at Manchester City's home ground, so it was almost certain that Manchester City would win, but football is a game of uncertainty, and Tottenham proved that with their excellent performance on the field. Manchester City may have performed well, but their attacks were off target, we have not seen the kind of football that we used to see Manchester City play in a very organized way this season from Manchester City's side. I think Manchester City's midfield and defense positions should be given some importance. Earlier, KDB performed excellently in Manchester City's midfield, but now that KDB is not there, Manchester City is definitely feeling KDB's absence very well. 

After some players left Manchester City, Manchester City should have brought some players to Manchester City, but Manchester City did not do that, and this may be their biggest mistake at the end of the season.

Gunners will not back down from achieving their ultimate goals this season. Well we lived it all for Mikel Arteta who's been extremely consistent and busy with the whole managing schedule, he won't give up anytime soon because he has greater picture for Arsenal and that's them winning the UEFA Champions League, let's see as it goes. Arsenal are playing their cards well this season. I'm quite comfortable and astonished with the recent happenings at Emirate stadium, atleast there's huge difference and development in the club. Eberechi Eze is a good player and with him giving the best he can, winning definitely comes through.

Who is Eberechi Eze replacing in Arsenal?
He doesn't play same position with Partey;
Is he coming to help Odegaard?
Well, whatever reason, Eze is a complete and energetic player and his presence in any team will make some difference.
Arsenal has is now signing with targrt

[LUCKMCFLY]

However, if Manchester United continues to allow this situation to persist, and they fail to secure victories as the season progresses, this will clearly be dangerous. As you mentioned, Manchester United desperately needs wins, and this has become an absolute necessity given their current circumstances. They are under pressure to prove themselves this season after last season’s disastrous performance.

And there's really nothing worse than going out to play with that pressure , with that desperate need. I know the season is just Beginning , but things have to get better We need a lot of good Rresults, at least to be a little more consistent to make an effort where the fans are Rewarded.

A good purpose to have, personally I think it could help Odegaard a lot, he is a player who in my opinion gives a lot of solidity to the team , if Arsenal played well last season and in the UCL, I think this time with good training they can even Perform for a final, let's remember that this team beat Madrid, so a high level is what this team has in abundance.

Yes, we no longer believe in the process, because what we need are results, proof that Arteta is capable of delivering trophies for Arsenal this season, whether it's the Premier League trophy they haven't won for a long time, or the Champions League trophy they've never won before. There's no longer any excuse for Arteta to prevent Arsenal from failing again this season. Arsenal have spent quite a lot of money to strengthen their squad, and it feels like that wasn't enough, they made a quick transfer, signing Eze to sharpen their attack again. And according to rumors circulating, Arsenal are also competing again with Spurs in the transfer market to be able to sign the signature of young Leverkusen defender, Pioero Hincapie.
