Marcus Speller: 本周末英超联赛精彩纷呈,曼城表现低迷,令人担忧。德布劳内状态不佳,哈兰德机会寥寥,球队缺乏整体性。 Luke Moore: 曼城的问题不仅仅是球员状态,瓜迪奥拉的战术和球队精神面貌也存在问题。球员们似乎缺乏信心,在比赛中表现出恐惧心理。 Jim Campbell: 曼城王朝已崩塌,球队表现令人震惊。球队缺乏质量和执行力,类似于其他曾经辉煌的球队在后续赛季的低迷。曼城现在应该被贴上“玩笑俱乐部”的标签。 Luke Moore: 狼队本赛季开局艰难,奥尼尔的解雇是多种因素造成的,包括球队阵容实力不足、防守定位球能力极差以及球员状态不佳等。库尼亚对伊普斯维奇教练的攻击行为令人不齿,应该受到处罚。索尔斯克亚可能成为狼队的新任主教练。 Marcus Speller: 南安普顿实力不足,马丁未能适应英超联赛,球队惨败是不可避免的。南安普顿球迷对球队的表现感到失望,对马丁的态度前后矛盾。 Jim Campbell: 加里·奥尼尔被狼队解雇是必然的结果,多赫蒂的乌龙球是低级失误的典型例子。狼队未来应该保持赛后冲突的传统。 Jim Campbell: 本场比赛马丁内斯的扑救堪称经典,甚至超过了希曼的经典扑救。诺丁汉森林队表现出色,取得了令人印象深刻的胜利,但未来可能会有所下滑。拉特克利夫对曼联的管理很糟糕。 Luke Moore: 迪亚洛是曼联目前表现最好的球员之一,为球队带来了活力和积极性。滕哈赫对球员的管理非常严格,关注球员生活的方方面面。凯尔·沃克应该退役。 Marcus Speller: 曼城目前状态低迷,其他球队有机会击败他们。凯尔·沃克未来可能会改打中后卫。
