Premier League – Manchester City hits the gas and puts pressure on Chelsea

Write-up by Andrew Hill

Right after week eight Manchester City’s multi-millionaire investment begins to see results Liverpool takes a deep breath with the financial relief from its sale and Manchester United trembles with Rooney’s possible departure.

4 straight wins is the method that has consolidated Manchester Metropolis in the 2nd spot -17 factors- of the Barclays Premier League soon after 8 weeks of motion. The Citizens are commencing to see the fruits of their sturdy economic investment this summer, when they put in close to one hundred fifty million Euros in 6 transfers. The excellent moment that the Argentinean striker Carlos Tevez is heading through as the leading scorer of the levels of competition with seven targets is another crucial issue in the achievement of the team.

Their city neighbor, Manchester United, is not operating with the same luck lately, as they have tied their 3 previous video games. The team’s functionality has been deeply impacted since the Ecuadorian wing Antonio Valencia was injured -double fracture of tibia and fibula- versus Glasgow Rangers from Scotland, throughout Matchday one of the UEFA Champions League, back in September 14.

As if this was not enough, their star Wayne Rooney has announced that he would like to leave the club, as he finds that his impaired connection with Coach Sir Alex Ferguson is irremediable. His agreement expires in 2012 and he has no options of renewing it, for that reason if the Red Devils want to make a revenue, they have no alternative but to offer both in December of 2010 of this coming summer season.

Economic relief has arrived to Liverpool, but benefits just do not seem to be to adhere to by way of, and only the goal difference separates them from the very last place that West Ham United holds, as each groups have 6 factors out of the 24 that have been in dispute.

The only convenience for the Reds followers this time is that they no extended have to worry about their team’s debt with Royal Lender of Scotland -which had them haunted by bankruptcy-, since they have been not long ago bought by New England Sports Ventures (NESV) -the American sports activities investment firm that owns the Major League Baseball team Boston Red Sox- for 340 million Euros.

The Reds are genuinely lacking Fernando Torres’ objectives this season, given that the ahead is significantly from becoming the decisive participant that he was previous period, scoring 22 objectives. This season he only has one particular, and Coach Roy Hodgson feels that Torres’ bad performance is a end result of all the critics he obtained following the 2010 FIFA Entire world Cup, which have affected his self confidence.

There is not much to say about the defending champions Chelsea, who continues to be the solo leader of the opposition with 19 points, and has only observed resistance in Manchester City, the only team that has been in a position to defeat them this period. The only question that the Blues followers require to inquire by themselves is which of their contenders will be able to maintain up their speed.

Arsene Wegner’s Arsenal continues to be far more of what we have observed in the previous seasons: a staff that insinuates that they are ready to combat for the title, but disappears in the decisive video games. Their captain Cesc Fabregas is fed up of this situation and has stated that they lack “profitable mentality”. The Gunners march in 3rd location with 14 factors, and except if they get a huge dose of that mentality that Fabregas is complaining about, that is possibly that highest area that they are going to occupy.
