Today is really a full course highlight of footballing banquet for our viewing pleasure. A total of 7 games were played in the EPL alone between 4pm to 11pm, Nigerian time.
We don't complain though.
I watched two full games and the first half of the super Saturday fixture between Tottenham and Chelsea.
As you would expect, my major focus was on Liverpool.
Because of our recent poor form, I wasn't sure of what to expect. However, the Liverpool we saw today was very similar to the Liverpool we enjoyed watching last season.
They were not sluggish at the back. Instead, they pressed properly from the attacking line and forced Aston Villa to commit a bunch of defensive errors.
We were able to score 3 goals in this game although 1 got ruled out by VAR for offside.
Since we didn't conceded an early goal or any goal at all, like we've been doing this season, we were able to kill off the game while dictating play for the vast majority of the game.
It felt good to see Liverpool keep a clean sheet again. It felt even better to see us win games without having to grind out wins!
This sure hasn't been an easy season.
It's too early to be carried away though!
We are already knocked out of the EFL Cup competition. We are far behind in the Premier League. We already lost a game in the Champions League and we have a tough mid-week game against Real Madrid.
Yeah!
We can't dwell on tonight's win for too long. Instead, we need to focus on getting a win against Madrid and Man City a week from now.
Arsenal Isn't Making The EPL Job Easy.
For real!
Arsenal is at the top of the Premier League table and waiting for them to drop points isn't a fun experience. Haha. They are just too good and their squad depth is enviable.
They won again today while also keeping a clean sheet. This is really looking like the season they will finally win a trophy or even multiple trophies.
The season is still a long one though. For now, we go one game at a time.
