Welcome to the 2021 Premier League style where Dan Burn from Brighton wishes it was still 2020, Big Sam is much less cheerful and several Premier League footballers feel that certain rules do not apply to them, even if José Mourinho has sent you a little pig.
We started the new year with Sam Allardyce and West Bromwich Albion. Would you like us “experts” to score the last two shots with a total score of nine to squat down to luck, Sam?
.
If Allardyce wasn’t already aware of the enormity of the task of keeping West Brom aloft, he certainly is now.
Or would you like to have as much credit for them as you were looking for in the 1-1 draw at Anfield? One result, it would be fair to say, is looking for more and more luck each time the WBA starts anew.
Allardyce is already the second seed to get the catch next and has been there less time than Kyle Walker has been in isolation.
In that short span of time, he has figured out how to wear his mask correctly, suggested that a team that went on to beat their lot 4-0 was in a relegation battle, and asked that the league be halted for a couple of weeks, though the rumors that his request was to be able to teach Semi Ajayi how to defend are actually not confirmed currently.
If you were to describe an Arsenal goal in which the player received the ball deflected from the left, moved inward with his right foot, and then curled into one of the upper bins, I’d probably assume he was talking about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in those not so -Lots of days ago when it was a bit of a goal threat.

And of course you’d be wrong to assume that – this beauty was scored by Kieran Tierney, a player Tony Cascarino recently compared to Stuart Pearce. Sorry, but I don’t think I ever saw Pearce do that on the right foot.
Mikel Arteta says ‘the parking brake is off’, which begs the question of what he was doing in the first place.
Mesut Ozil is no fool: he loves the impact Emile Smith Rowe had (in his position, mind you), calling him the “difference maker” and suggesting that the team looks good with a number ten.

Three was the magic number at Spurs, not the number of Tottenham players who gathered for a Christmas party, but the goals scored against Leeds United.
Harry Kane was celebrating the birth of his third child by scoring from the point and then preparing his telepathic strike partner Son for his 100th goal in a Spurs jersey.
It’s fair to say that Meslier is the perfect goalkeeper for Leeds, with all the criticism coming his way.
He specializes in chaos, you never know what will come next, bright or terrible, and he’s happy to go looking for work instead of waiting to see what happens.
However, Leeds was far from terrible here: they created 10 decent chances themselves, up from 12. The problem was that Tottenham took theirs.
Bielsa’s men have been a great addition to the Premier League
Three was an equally magical number for Manchester City, and it had nothing to do with Benjamin Mendy.
Pep Guardiola’s men scored three at Stamford Bridge, taking all three points and clinching their third consecutive Premier League victory for the first time this season.
To say that Chelsea flattered 3-1 tells you a lot: To quote an unusually subdued Roy Keane, Chelsea was really ‘shocking’ and you have to wonder how long it takes Roman Abramovich to deduce that he should get a lot more for it. £ 200 million more spent in the summer.
It’s rare for Alan Shearer to make an old-school comment that he can participate with, but Peppy G’s team did have a rookie goalkeeper, so it surely made sense to try it out ASAP to see what it was made of.
By the time Callum Hudson-Odoi noted the lack of consolation in injury time that the ship had sailed well and truly.
If King Klopp is going to eliminate his title contenders by suggesting they are the favorites to win the Liverpool crown, then he would do well to shout from the rooftops that Man City is back and that they are the ones who will lift the trophy in May. .

Who had Brighton versus Wolves as a six-goal thriller?
The Burn replacement was the classic case of bolt-on stable doors and horses, as the damage to Brighton had already been done with one of the worst solo shows of the season (I was going to say 2021 for the jokes, but it would stand the test of time in 2020 as well).
Just the mention of Adama Traore is likely to cause Burn to suffer from cold sweats for the foreseeable future.
So who enjoyed the way Palace’s big summer contract Ezed made his way through the Sheffield United defense? Eze scored a lovely goal as any New Years resolution from Blades to start winning soccer games fell at the first hurdle.

According to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United ‘must improve’ to win the title this season; however, he didn’t mention exactly how much or where Liverpool fit into this equation, so let’s add ‘more than is actually possible’ to the end of that. statement for him.
That said, if they follow Paul Pogba’s advice to Luke Shaw to the letter, United could increase their penalty quota from two to four per game, and the way Bruno Fernandes puts them in could guarantee several more wins.
Anthony Martial, a player that Manchester United history will place on the same level as Peter Davenport, opened his 2021 account, but Villa’s manager, Dean Smith, definitely had a point when he noted that it appeared Pogba had stumbled on his penalty. .
If only there were some kind of video review system available this new year to fix these kinds of bugs.

Man United is flying right now
The best thing about Newcastle against Leicester City was that Andy Carroll scored his only goal of 2021, which is, folks, one more than Gareth Bale will score for Spurs this year.
The recently improved Everton lost to the recently improved West Ham United with the new Fellaini’s winning goal.
Soccer may have moved on since Moysiah was at Goodison, but his tactical plan hasn’t.
