Surprisingly, Aston Villa yielded ground to Tottenham. The result is incomprehensible, the plan worked. For 75 minutes, Aston Villa was better. On counterattacks, they could have opened the scoring earlier and increase it at 1-0. Moments were at 1-1 too. It is an even game, by no means a rout.
When the opponent does not rise to take the ball, Tottenham loses its charm. Not everyone is capable of such cunning-moving the line down-in modern football. Emery could.
A couple of words about the matches of City and Liverpool, and some personal joy for Salah.
Harmony of skill and discipline as it was illustrated by the first two goals of Barcelona.
- Barа took a risk again, Espаnyol was in the game and could have come back after 0-3. But this kind of risk fits Barcelona. There was also risk under Xavi, just less suitable for the team. - Napoli's defeat to Atalanta should not in any way affect the assessment of the team condition and prospects. "Go away, nothing happened here." 0 reply

Well, what to say.
As the classics said-the end is somewhat predictable.
Though right till the very end I believed that, just a little bit everybody would turn up alive, the wounded come back, all the Ugartes and de Ligts would appear, and the bald ship would rush forward, ramming into everything that comes into its way.
At first, Ten Hag looked like some fighting Brother, who seriously got down to business and introduced the basics of special Tai Chi Chuan gymnastics. He shouted, drove his subordinates under the stream, and the idea of recreating Ajax did not even seem so absurd.
Although later in the text, we will separately note the idiocy of the new management that missed the time and opportunities for changes, gave ETH a complete carte blanche for transfers, and lost all potential replacements. For all that, disappointed, they fired the coach at the end of October. 0 reply

Fonseca, August 24: "We have an attitude problem, a desire to defend as a team. When the opponent passes our press, we have difficulty coming back, we are not compact. In training, the team is good, then you go to the matches and all this happens. That is not easy to explain.
Fonseca, September 17: "We conceded two goals from set pieces, then we lost the confidence, and when a team loses its confidence, it does not do what it has been doing in training. After the second goal, we stopped playing football.
Fonseca, 6 October: "We did not have any aggression. I told players that the problem was in not in tactics, we were just not aggressive enough, both in defense and in attack.We were too indecisive."
And what a curious expression of words. "It is difficult to explain." But isn't the coach supposed to understand what happens with the team? It's impossible to take not every crisis under control, but publicly to state that you can't explain what's going on seems to be the opposite of what a coach is employed for. 0 reply
