EPL so far...

Three months have passed since the new EPL season kicked off. These are my reflections on the season so far based on my observations in the past three months.

ARSENAL:
Capitalising on a bad start from their other three competitors for the title, Arsenal went off to a flyer to lead the league table. Their direct passing and aggressive style of play multiplied by their phenomenal midfield display are bearing desirable results surprising football pundits and fans alike.

While there own form has been good and their style of play captivating, there ll be no denying the fact that Arsenal have had the easiest fixtures to kick start the season among the big four.

CHELSEA:
Its been a turbulent season so far for the blues not the least because they lost Jose Mourinho, a man to whom the current Chelsea strength is to be attributed. Their new manager
Avram Grant apparently was not able to fill mourinho's shoes. Struggling to get his tactics rite went on a four match without-a-win streak.This is something that a side challenging for the EPL cannot afford.

Drogba has been their chief source of goals in whose absence the team more or less does not threaten the goal. Shevchenko is these days warming the bench and this seems to have worked wonders for the side. Considering that the away trips to Liverpool and Old Tr afford are over the situation at Chelsea can only get better.


LIVERPOOL:
One of the two undefeated teams in the EPL. But more than the teams players it was lady luck that played a significant roles in helping them to achieve that feat. Rafa's policy of squad rotation has visibly not worked. This had a very powerful hand in Liverpool's poor European showing. But one thing is going rite in Liverpool's way Torres seems to combine well with Dirk Kuyt.

If eliminated out of Europe in the group stages itself, and Rafa gets his best 11 on the field my money ll be on Liverpool to win the title.

MAN UTD:
A disastrous start to the season saw the champs go without a win in the first three matches of the season. Then a string of 1-0 wins made Utd look small and unworthy of title challenge. But just when you abandon all hope the red devils bounce back with great intensity.
This was precisely wat happened and Utd made amends to their terrible performance at the start of the season by scoring 16 goals in the last 4 matches.

Tevez and Anderson who were only physically present entities at the start of the season have now improved a lot, with Anderson playin like a left-footed Fabregas. Tevez is combining well with Rooney which is a good sign for Utd. But their ultimate test is at the Emirates next week.With the team lookin in good shape, it s become good ole days with Arsenal and Man Utd gunning for the title.
