Five Talking Points from Premier League Gameweek 10
Manchester clubs turn on the style
Coming in the weekend’s fixtures, both Manchester clubs were languishing near the edge of the top 10, but after two breathtaking attacking displays from both clubs, they are well on their way towards changing that. Whilst Manchester City were expected to beat Norwich City, the manner of their defeat would have sent shivers down the rest of the Premier League. Because, when City are in the kind of attacking form like they showed against Norwich, there are few teams that are better to watch or more ruthless.
On the other hand, their cross-town rivals, managed to win back-to-back league games under their new manager for the first time. Although they were coasting for most of the second half, some of the football that United played in the first half, would have certainly pleased Moyes. Although they were helped by some hapless Fulham defending, they were joy to watch and it was only because they completely destroyed Fulham in the first half, that they were able to take their foot off the pedal in the second. Moyes will be hoping for more of the same.
