I cant really find a general thread on the EPL as there's only specific threads of certain teams so this thread is aimed for general discussion on all the teams, upcoming games etc etc. Hopefully the WUMs will stay out of this thread as its not affiliated with any club. ------------- Wings?

Lamberts record in the past 4 seasons is unreal although this is a huge step up for the lad, be interesting to see how he goes. City 4-0 Chelsea 2-0 United 1-1 Be interesting to see if Newcastle can keep last seasons form going, smashing start for them yesterday. |

A little disappointed Arsenal didn't score yesterday. brilliant defensive display from sunderland but offered very little going forward. santi cazorla looks a quality player and was unlucky on a number of occasions when he slipped balls through that ended up with gervinho who is without doubt the most frustrating player to watch ever (even more so than Arshavin). Can't believe Giroud missed that sitter 10 mins from time  Frustrating overall...

I thought Gervinho did well for Arsenal yesterday, he give Gardner a bad time of it before Wenger swapped him with Walcott. It was an awful decision on Wengers behalf. Cazorla was very good yesterday, he really looked the part. I'm sure you are well aware of this but Giroud's miss was the type of chance that RVP would score in his sleep. Song will be a massive loss, he really was missed yesterday. ------------- It's Jack Shat |

i thought gervinho did ok yesterday but on too many occasions after beating his man he would lose possession by running over the end line, hesitating and letting a defender get a block in or just a poor pass. It happens far too often. his passing is absolutely atrocious and he cannot cross at all. i really believe this guy has amazing potential but I'm despair every time i see him get the ball. tbf on giroud i remember rvp miss a similar opportunity against i think it was united last season. i hope its not a sign of things to come.

he was part of a front 3 yesterday. tbh i don't know where his best position would be. keeping him away from the dead ball line would be a start.

I know he's scored today and in the Community Shield but he seems to sit quite deep. I'd expect Aguero to score more for City as long as the injury isn't too serious. I'd say Torres, Van Persie and Rooney will score more than him too if they stay fit. Tevez could well through another strop when the winter weather kicks in too.

Should be a Chelsea win tonight helped by the fact David Luiz won't be playing. Surely Cahill is a better centre half??? I'm confused Chelsea felt the need to buy all 3 of Oscar, hazard and Marin.
