Champions League - 25th/26th November 2014

In this weeks Champions League Manchester City beat Bayern Munich three goals to two. It was an amazing match and I have to admit part of me wanted Manchester City win. 

When they scored the last minute winner I was happy for them. I guess from a British prespective it is quite nice to have all the British teams in the knock out stages. 

Chelsea won by five goals to nil which was a good win. Ok they beat a team that most of have never heard of but a win is a win especially in the lucrative Champions League. 

Liverpool are really making a meal of qualifying for the knockout stages. They drew two all to a team most of have never heard of. It won't be long before some fans start banging the drum for Brendan Rogers. 

Arsenal beat Brussia Dortumand two goals to nil and it was a much needed win. Most importantly this win meant that Arsenal qualified for the next round. 

Arsene Wenger used the 4-4-2 formation which he has not used for like ten years. He started up front with Ya Ya Sanogo who got the first goal. 

I am hoping that Arsene will return to the 4-4-2 formation and ditch this 4-5-1 formation he has been using. 

Hopefully now that Arsenal have qualified for the second round they now focus on the premiership. 

Premiership 22nd/23rd November 2014

In last weekend premiership games Chelsea beat West Bromwich Albion by two goals to nil. It was another good win for Chelsea who cannot stop winning! 

The premiership is really theres is to lose and I suspect if they are still leading by Christmas then it will be difficult to see them not winning title. 

Manchester City beat Swansea City  by two goals to one and this was good win as they came from behind to win this match and they still have every chance of winning the premiership. 

Manchester United beat Arsenal by two goals to one and it was embarrasing loss for Arsenal. 

The makeshift defence struggled to contain Manchester United and what compounded Arsenal embarrassment was it Manchester United first away win all season. 

Arsene Wenger insistence on play 4-5-1- formation is doing more damage than good that Olivier Giroud came off the bench to at least score a goal. 

Overall poor Arsenal performance and it seems like Manchester United have played themselves back into form. 

Premiership 8th and 9th November 2014

In this weekend football Swansea beat Arsenal by two goals to one. It was a pretty inept performance by Arsenal. I felt bad for Alexis Sanchez who scored an amazing goal and ended up on the losing side.

Arsene Wenger really needs to get a grip of the back four as Nacho Monreal is not and centre back and if he continues to play him in that position it could get even worse for Arsenal 

Chelsea beat Liverpool by two goals to one and this was another good win for Chelsea. 

Liverpool now seem to be in a terminal decline and if they don't start stringing some results together there season will be over very quickly. 

Manchester United beat Crystal Palace by a goal to nil. Man U fans will be relieved to get this win under their belt.

 

But this win has done little to improve their standing in the league. But I am sure it will be welcome relief for the players and fans. 

Man City drew two all with Queens Park Rangers and this was a bit of surprise. I really did not expect Queens Park Rangers to get anything out of this match. But it's one point that QPR needed. 

Man City they should really should be winning these kind of matches. If they want to retain the title they won last season. 

Stoke City beat Tottenham by two goals to one and Tottenham are languishing in the bottom part of the table. 

They too cannot seem to string results together and they need to turn it around quickly or before they know it they will be fighting relegation. 

Premiership 1st/2nd November 2014

Arsenal beat Burnley by three goals to nil. The man of the match Alexis Sanchez he has played really well in the last few games. 

It was probably Arsenal most clinical win in a while and good thing was that Arsenal did not concede in any goals. 

Manchester City beat Manchester United by one goal to nil in the Manchester derby and this was always going to be difficult match for Manchester United who have had their worst start to season in over twenty years. 

Manchester City were fortunate to also have a man advantage as Chris Smalling was sent off. 

Newcastle beat Liverpool by a goal to nil and this was bad loss for Liverpool after doing so well last year. This season has been nothing more than a damp squib. 

Chelsea beat Queens Park Rangers by two goals to one and Chelsea excellent start continues and are leading the premiership by five points. Now they are looking pretty unbeatable.
