Tour results:.

Just some kind of black bar is coming for Tottenham striker this month. But we usually hope that the black will follow and white. In the case of Kane, it happened.
Huddersfield before the match with Tottenham had missed home only 2 goals in the Premier League, but did nothing with the form Kane could not. Harry easily took a double, thus hitting 13 goals in September - the most productive month in Kane's career. Yes there Kane - Cristiano Ronaldo (October 2010) and Lionel Messi (March 2012) in the best of their months, they scored also 13 goals.
Kieran Trippier has shown that he is not going to give up the place at the heart of Serge Aьеrie without making a fight, having made two assists, even if they were scoring they became mostly because of Kane's genius. It should be praised and Ben Davis - while Danny Rose can not recover and requires a salary increase, Ben makes serious doubt that Rose does not expect the fate of Kyle Walker - loss of space at the base and further sale.
In the barrel of honey for fans of "spurs" there is a spoonful of tar. Namely - the behavior of Dela Alli. Mauricio Pochettino only praised the young Englishman before the match, saying that he became "more mature", as Alli immediately noted a stupid trick. Sharp? And how else would you call an attempt to draw the left-handed penalty, when your team already wins 3-0?.
No video replay - no "reinforced concrete" penalty "It is likely that the team will paint the world - unless their weighty word will not say Jamie Vardi, generously scoring at the start of the season" - as it was written in the announcement of the match Bournemouth - Leicester. And Jamie did not score this time - maybe it was that the striker just recovered from injury.
That's just much more merit in the fact that the meeting ended 0-0 is not Vardi, and the referee of the meeting - Graham Scott. At the very beginning of the fight, Jermain Defoe (he knows what age is like?) Rushed and broke into the crossbar, and when Mark Pew tried to finish off, the way to the ball into an empty net was blocked by Danny Simpson's hand. Penalty? According to Bournemouth's coach Eddie Howe, "the judge could not point to the point, because he did not see the episode, but the penalty there is a reinforced concrete". So, for this, video replay is needed, are there still opponents of their use? Among the fans "cherry" - hardly.
In general, Bournemouth looked sharper and his victory no one would call undeserved, but his chances of "cherry" missed. However, Lester responded with the same courtesy, so that the Eddie How team can rejoice at least the first wedge-shit for the last 10 home games in the Premier League.
It's time to love Fellaini Among the things that make Jose Mourinho special - his truly special stubbornness. In the last season, the fans have repeatedly and not two resented the confidence that Mourinho provided Fellaini. Especially after the match with Everton, when Marouin came out and instead of restraining the opponent after 2 minutes, "brought" a penalty, thanks to which the "toffee" got a draw. In the summer there were many rumors that the Belgian would be sold to Galatasaray, but Mourinho firmly stated: Marouane is important for the team, he is not for sale.
And now the Belgian finally waited for his finest hour, having built a double at the gate Crystal Palace. If such performances continue, everyone will soon remember that Marouane came to Manchester United in the status of one of the best midfielders of the Premier League.
Again, Romela Lukaku scored, forcing with even greater impatience to expect Zlatan Ibrahimovic's return: will a phenomenal Swede drive out an equally phenomenal Belgian?.
And a separate occasion for the joy of the fans of the "red devils" - Marcus Rushford and Anthony Martial, who again were awarded effective programs - just 3 for two. With such players on the left flank, you can not especially be sad that Ivan Perisic stayed in Inter.
What can I say, even if Ashley Young does not just not spoil porridge, but also gives the results? MJ is still in stunning form and fans probably for some reason it's a pity that the fight with Liverpool will take place only in 2 weeks - a break for the matches of the national teams is now completely inopportune.
Crouch still has not retired The game Stoke City with Southampton probably gave cause for gloating to some fans of West Brom. The reason for this is Saido Beraino. The Englishman three seasons ago scored 20 goals in 45 matches for "thrushes" and since then he has become conceited, having started to demand transfer to the club more imposing and constantly in conflict with the leadership of the BBA. In the end, all ended with the transition to Stoke City in the winter of this year for 12 million pounds. Until now, he did not score for the "potters". In a match against Southampton, Saido earned a penalty and himself did it frankly bad, allowing Fraser Forster to make a save. Thus, Beraino does not score in the Premier League for 30 matches - it seems that this guy will soon be downgraded.
And there is in Stoke another striker, an ex-England player and the author of more than one hundred goals in the Premier League. Peter Crouch is 36 years old, but he still has not lost his taste for the game. Peter came on as a substitute against Southampton and was in the right place at the right time, scoring a winning goal from a few meters.
After the match, Crouch was jokingly asked if he was expecting a call from Gareth Southgate (with a call to the England squad), to which Peter smiled and replied: "I have not retired yet".
Just can not help but bribe, how this guy in his 36 years, rushes, celebrating the goal scored and is already slipping on the lawn on his stomach. Perhaps, he is not an outstanding talent and fanclam a la Ronaldinho will not teach, but love for football from Peter can and should be learned. Even if you were once considered an incredible talent and scored 20 goals per season.
"When you play 95 minutes with 4 added" West Brom's head coach Tony Pulis can be in something to understand. The Welshman was incredibly distressed that Watford pulled a draw in a match with his West Brom, although he lost 0: 2. What is even more offensive - the decisive goal Richarlison scored, when the scoreboard showed already 95:20, despite the fact that the judge initially added only 4 minutes.
"When you play 95 minutes with 4 added ... There was a good tackle. McClean played the ball and hooked a little Richarton. Michael Oliver was 9 meters away, he saw everything perfectly and he appointed a penalty ... ", complained Pjulis.
Nevertheless, throwing emotions aside, it can not be said that Watford did not deserve at least a draw - yet the game "hornets" looked sharper than West Brom. And Pulis should, first of all, pay attention to this. And in addition to think why his players who are famous for playing at the standards (by the way, here Evans scored just after filing with the standard), allow in the last seconds to forget about the leader of Watford.
Well, "hornets" I want to praise - as in the game with Liverpool, they fought to the last and again managed to score points. A perfect manifestation of the character, especially if you consider how last season the same team "merged" the last six rounds in the Premier League.
Bilic remains West Ham still can not please the fans with their game. When in ancient Rome the gladiator performed poorly, after the defeat the audience usually demanded his death. It seems that the fans of "hammers" (and not only them) now literally crave the "death" of Bilic, but Slaven is struggling to keep his post.
In the last round, the team failed the first half with Tottenham, but in the second half of the meeting was able to gather and for chanting "in the morning dismissed" almost snatched a draw with now a formidable opponent.
In the game with Swansea there were not a lot of bright moments that would make one clutch at the head - with the exception of Andy Carroll's punch in the end of the fight in the crossbar. But in general, West Ham was a little bit sharper and call his victory undeserved by no means.
Interestingly, the victory was brought by a pair of players who came out to whistle to replace the players - Arthur Masuacu made an excellent serve, which in a subcategory he hammered into the goal Diafra Saco. Very interesting was the celebration of the Senegalese goal: he took off his shirt (realizing that he would be punished with yellow), but instead of the usual wild race in such cases, he only tiredly walked closer to the fans.
And Swansea with such a game expects the struggle for survival. What can I say if the three forwards Ayy-Abraham-Boni for the entire match only three times received the ball in someone else's penalty area? What can I say if the distant shot from Bonn was the best moment of "swans"? What can I say if the team for the whole game does only one hit on target? Far from the fact that Paul Clement will hold on to his post longer than the heavily criticized Bilic.
Man City is really good. The game Manchester City at the beginning of the season is worthy of flattering words (well, we will not scold now and then mistaken defense) - "the townspeople" scores a lot, skip a little, show beautiful football. But there is one significant amendment - before the meeting with Chelsea the "blue moon" played only with one representative of the top 6 - Liverpool. And although that match ended 5-0, until the removal of Manet everything was far from clear ... And Shakhtar proved that a well-organized team is capable of delivering City's problems.
Chelsea became the first truly serious test for the "townspeople" this season and the team Guardiola worthily passed it. Even in the absence of Benjamin Mendy and Sergio Aguero (who still did not have enough), the City controlled the game and could have won more than 1-0.
Quite strange, by the way, claims to Sergio Aguero. The fact is that in his weekend the Argentinean went to the concert of the Colombian singer Maluma in Amsterdam. Already after the event, Sergio was traveling to the airport and his taxi was in an accident. The striker City was buckled, so he got off only by a broken rib. What questions could there be for him? If he is a football player, then he does not have the right to attend concerts? Or in the same Manchester there is no accident?.
Well, Kevin De Bryune once again forces Chelsea fans to regret his sale. As in the game with the Miner, the Belgian scored the most important goal with a beautiful kick from afar - it's great when your team has players capable of solving the outcome of the match in the same way as Kevin does..
As for Chelsea, then "blue", of course, you can make a discount - because they only had a tough weekend away match against Atletico (and won it!). Antonio Conte is right when he says that it's not so easy to tune into two super matches in a few days. Questions are only to the Italian himself, who instead of the injured center forward Morata released on the field winger Willian. The Brazilian has been in terrible shape lately - is he really better than Misha Batshuyi?.
Returned Sanchez - returned and Arsenal After all the summer troubles (playing in the Confederations Cup, a possible transition to another club), Alexis Sanchez returned to the base of the Arsenal and began to prove how important for this team. The Chilean was good in the last round with West Brom and even better with Brighton. In this game, Alexis coolly harassed the defense of rivals, and the crown of his game was an assistant to Alex Iwobi. It is for certain unknown, the Chilean was inspired by Andrei Yarmolenko's goal to the gate of Augsburg or he had some other motives, but he gave a masterpiece with a heel, after which Alex just shot poor Matthew Ryan.
Arsenal, meanwhile, won six of the last seven matches, and a draw from the position of strength with Chelsea can be recorded "Gunners" in the asset. You can criticize Arsen Wenger as much as you like, but recently the team is moving in the right direction and at least for a place in the Champions League must compete.
Why pay more?.
What can you expect from the meeting of the team, which in the last season confidently became the seventh against the one that scored only 40 points? Toffees spent more than 150 million euros on transfers (yes, having lost at the same time Romela Lukaku), and Burnley - just over 30, while remaining without the leader of the defense Michael Keane and the main striker Andre Gray.
But no crashes happened. There were moments at Everton, were at Burnley, but scored only the wards of Sean Dajch. The exact strike of Jeff Hendrik was enough for an away victory - 1: 0.
Contrary to everything, Burnley after the 7th round goes to sixth place - and this "burgundy" has already played against Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Everton! Already, Sean Daich's team scored more points on the road (8) than last season (7)!.
Separately it is necessary to allocate James Tarkowski. A man of a year and a half was a spare at Burnley, and now he plays so that no one remembers the departure of Michael Keane! In the game with "toffee" James again was good, having time to intercept balls, block blows, spread in subcases - it seems, in the summer the club will again knock with 30 million euros. This time for Tarkowski.
In all the journalists are to blame?.
In the game with Newcastle, the "reds" were supposed to win, but instead were given a draw (1: 1) to their former coach Rafael Benitez.
Protection of Liverpool has long been a talk of the town. No matter how much Juergen Klopp or Sadio Manet praised their defencists, they, alas, do not get better. Here and in a meeting with Newcastle Josel scored a goal in a monstrous game pair Matip-Lovren. They did not seem to know about the ability of Johnjo Shelvey to perform a long exact cast - otherwise how to explain that Hoselu escaped offside? Well, then the defenders of the "reds" have already watched as the Spaniard goes one on one with Minole and sends the ball under the bar. No, Matip, of course, jumped in a desperate subcategory, but it was no use to it.
But why blame the defenders? Again, remember the saying "do not shoot the pianist, he plays as he can". That Joel Matip, who still loved to play in Schalke, plays as he can, but he does not really know - the Cameroonian is simply not the level of Liverpool. With Lovren it's more difficult - because Dejan like and a good defender, but acts somehow loosely. Perhaps the explanation lies in psychology - recently the Croat is just surrounded by some kind of crime. Then you need to testify in court against the president of Zagreb Dynamo Zdravko Mamich, then his house will be robbed - football can and go to the background.
The question is why Liverpool did not buy a central defender in the summer. Is the Mati-Lovren-Clavan Trio enough? Let's say Van Dyck is expensive, but there are other options. Candidates for the England squad Ben Gibson and Harry Maguire, for example. Or you could have scouts search in other European championships. Why is Tottenham, having a great duet of Centrbekov, Vertongen-Alderweide, does not hesitate to buy Davinson Sanchez from Ajax for 40 million euros? And this is the "spurs", not Liverpool missed the least of all last season in the Premier League. Chelsea also missed a little, but the "retirees" returned Christensen and bought Rudiger, and that the "reds"?.
Can Jurgen Klopp say once again that his club can not afford such a waste as the other of the top 6? Well, excuse me, but why did you buy almost 40 million Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, a player of the Arsenal rotation, who had a year on contract with the "Gunners". Who was he supposed to force out of the base? Record high price of Salah? Leader of Liverpool Sadio Manet? Is not too expensive substitution is obtained, eh? And this, if you do not already take into account that on the edges of the attack can play Filipe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.
Klopp after the match will say that "we need to concentrate on his game, more to score and then Liverpool will reduce the gap". A version of the "less miss" we are not considering? What's the point, when an attack scores three goals, if in return receive from Watford at the added time? What kind of confidence can there be, if your defense at any moment can come up with a goal?.
It seems that Jurgen does not recognize the obvious things and it's incredibly sad to watch such a charismatic German coach ... P. Liam Canning of TalkSport quoted Klopp as saying: "We are not feeling the best way now - you journalists are writing different things, guys are reading it and they are not particularly in the mood for it". So, the respected football players of Liverpool and especially Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren, if you suddenly read it - I hope it does not hurt you too much.
