They had a very good game yesterday, but it is just 1 out of 38. They play at Anfield next week against a very unconvincing Pool team. If they get out and play there, then we can talk. Arsenal were not impressive yesterday. Granted, Fabregas didn't play but I can't see them win it this season. Chelsea this morning were scary. Everyone knew that Deco will be a hit: he is a class of his own. Dolan yesterday lashed out on Dawson from Tottenham, and had every right to. Dawson is one big misunderstanding. Tottenham need Ledley King back, and they need him quickly. Modric disappointed, but it was always going to be difficult in his first game. Liverpool were pathetic, thank God for Torres. Didn't Rafa know that Torres and Keane are one and the same player, they have overlapping styles and pairing them together is highly unlikely to work(early days, but...)I hope Alonso stays. Everton will struggle, they need 2/3 players at least to maintain a top 8 finish. Very little creativity there. Without Arteta and Cahill(still injured) they become a relegation-threatened team.
