When Dango Ouattara put another goal past André Onana, I was very angry. My anger wasn't because Man United just conceded another goal - honestly, with the way they played yesterday I could care less if they let in 15 goals. What fuelled my anger was the thought that those annoying dudes just cost me another precocious FPL point by conceding goal number 4.
Luckily for me, VAR ruled out the goal and saved me a precious point to lighten my mood. I was already blaming myself for going against my gut feeling that warned me not to start Onana ahead of Dubravka. Anyway, lesson learnt. And with a trip to the Anfield slaughterhouse next on the card, I'm seriously considering shipping the Cameroonian out of my team for good. Club loyalty and sentiment has never gotten anyone really far in FPL. Even if that were to change now, a club as abysmal as Man United won't be the one to push the envelope.
By the way, someone just reminded me Man United are the only team yet to draw a single game in the EPL this season. Team win or nothing - we die here!😂
Calm Down, Y'All
Aston Villa have been exciting since Unai Emery took over. The Spaniard took them from a bunch of confused lots under Gerrard to an aggressive, impressive and well drilled team in a little space of time. And after guiding Villa to 15 wins in 25 games last season, they've kicked on this season with 11 wins in 15 games, with their ability to set ridiculously proficient offside traps a sign of how well-coached they are. Despite that, no one could've predicted Villa will beat both City and Arsenal in a space of one week.
But, English press, please pipe it down with the rubbish talk of "Villa are now title contenders if they beat Arsenal." Some have even started giving them the Leicester City title win vibes. Seriously, it is laughable. Newcastle were also praised to high heavens last season, with some people even throwing them in the title mix. They eventually ended in 4th place.
Aston Villa have now started getting the same sort of unwanted and mostly destructive attention from those notorious English pundits that speaks from both sides of their mouths. The Villains have done well so far, that's not in question. However, I won't be surprised if they miss out on the top 4. Seasons are not determined after 16 games, they are determined after 38 games.
