Review - - - Gameweek II

Gameweek 2 over and there were many surprises over such period. First of all, Giant-killers Burnley kept up the reputation of them being called so and defeated defending Champions Manchester United. Secondly, Tottenham won 5-1 with Jermaine Defoe scoring a hat-trick making sure Michael Owen will have to do more than what he assumes so as to make a place for himself in England squad. Chelsea, for the third time in three games [2 Premier League and 1 Community Shield] came back from behind to win the match. Wolves, the new team in the Premier League defeated Wigan making sure they shouldn’t be taken lightly for the season to come. Meanwhile, the team from Midlands, Birmingham City defeated Pompey justifying their position into the Top Division Football. The most surprising part though remained that after 2 Gameweeks, there hasn’t been a single draw match to be seen. Getting out of regular Premier League action, it was Manchester City defeating European Champions Barcelona in a friendly match. After just seeing what all happened in first 2 Gameweeks, one can be sure, there is a lot of entertainment to follow and no-one can really predict on the outcome of matches to be held.

IMO, Manchester United, after 1 loss should not be considered as if they are missing Ronaldo [many rival fans are saying so]. The team has many new faces and it just needs some time to get back into action. Liverpool, after 1st week upset defeat by Tottenham got back in action with a 4-0 victory ensuring departure of Xabi Alonso won't really have much negative impact on their performance. On the other hand, Chelsea, needs to get grip as they won't find goals after conceding first in each and every match they play. However, its just the starting of the season and teams like Manchester United or Liverpool shouldnt be ruled out after 1 defeat. Nor Chelsea should be predicted as champions after 2 wins on-the-trot. :)

Here are the results after Gameweek II :

Sunderland 1---3 Chelsea
Wigan 0---1 Wolves
Birmingham 1---0 Portsmouth
Burnley 1---0 Man Utd
Hull City 1---5 Tottenham
Liverpool 4---0
Stoke City

MUFC TiLL DeaTh!!!
