Haaland, Haaland and extra Haaland

Manchester Metropolis are inevitable and a part of the rationale behind that’s the presence of Haaland, the destroyer of worlds. The Norwegian accomplished one other hat trick and made it look simple. 4 photographs, three on track, and three objectives. When he can rating with various finishes, it makes Metropolis unstoppable, particularly with Ilkay Gundogon there to bolster the midfield. Haaland already has seven objectives this season and is on tempo to outdo his inaugural season with 36 objectives in league play. 

With 70 league objectives for Metropolis already in 69 appearances, Haaland is skyrocketing up each report board there may be, and there is nothing that may cease him and it exhibits the ability of a quantity 9 within the title race. The one query now’s what is going to Metropolis do when he isn’t on the pitch. Julian Alvarez is off to Atletico Madrid so for now, there isn’t any acknowledged second striker within the squad.

Given the expertise that Metropolis has, it is probably not a problem however a long-term absence is the place issues turn into regarding. They’re now used to on the lookout for Haaland atop the XI however there’s just one participant on the earth who could make probabilities out of the photographs that he does. If pressured to play with out him, that is when groups like Arsenal could have a shot on the Premier League however so long as Haaland is wholesome, they’ll be unstoppable but once more. 

An early problem for Arsenal

Nobody desires to turn into the primary workforce of the title contenders to drop some extent, particularly in how Arsenal’s halftime lead towards Brighton evaporated. Rice was dismissed rapidly after the half earlier than Joao Pedro scored to degree the match for Brighton. It is Rice’s first purple card ever and it was an avoidable one as he fell for Brighton’s lure. Mikel Arteta is at all times one to evangelise in regards to the mentality of his groups however now Rice leaves Arsenal with a problem. Not solely will they should make up factors in coming matches however they will additionally want to exchange Rice in a North London derby towards Tottenham.

With new signing Mikel Merino additionally injured after selecting up a shoulder harm, a lot of Arteta’s worldwide break will probably be spent making certain that he has an enough setup for going through their rivals. On the brilliant aspect, going with out Rice will give Arsenal an opportunity to organize for rotation that will probably be wanted when Champions League play comes up. Arteta may even be happy that down a person, the Gunners have been nonetheless capable of create a giant likelihood within the second half to attempt to get all three factors out of the match. Whereas it is by no means good to drop factors, doing it early with such a giant sport looming will present the place Arsenal’s mentality is early this season.

Bournemouth for Europe?

Do not look now however the Cherries are unbeaten after three matches even following the sale of Dominic Solanke to Tottenham. It was an epic comeback towards Everton to grab all three factors with three objectives after the 87th minute as Andoni Iraola’s aspect are rising up the desk. Antoine Semenyo has taken a step ahead with two objectives and an help already this season nevertheless it’s a real workforce assault the place everybody within the aspect can harm you. They have been versatile with kinds and in Dean Huijsen there is a younger defender who will probably be a dynamic addition as soon as he is absolutely in control.

Comfy taking the ball out of the again, he may help offset matches like going through Everton the place Evanilson is marked out of the sport. Not having European commitments at the moment signifies that the Cherries may have their probabilities to take factors off of different drained groups across the league because the season wears on. 

For Everton, whereas they have been capable of rating through the match, this will probably be when concern begins to creep in for Sean Dyche. Three matches into the younger season, the Toffees have conceded 10 objectives solely scoring two and so they sit on the backside of the desk. Whereas odds are on them turning issues round, it is fairly essential to try this sooner quite than later.
