EPL Week 1: Game of The Week (With Video Highlights)
The EPL is back and so are Twil and I
and we will start TFIU back up again. We wanted to kick off our first
post of the season with our pick fr the game of the week. After
Sunday, it really seemed like it was going to go to the match between
Manchester City and Southampton, but Monday's match changed that up.
Everton hosted Manchester United at Goodison Park in a cracking match
where the action was in constant motion from goal to goal. The first
half ended as a 0-0 draw but only took Fellaini 12 minutes in the
second half to convert the cross from a corner. The Belgian had been
fantastic the entire match along with team mates Leon Osman and
Steven Pienaar who, if not for David De Gea, would have all scored a
nice set of opening week goals. The young Spaniard made up for
United's sloppy defense, though conceding a goal. Valencia &
Carrick were two midfielders that teamed up with Vidic and Evra to
complete United's back four, so this is where the problems started.
United/s attacking half got close a few times but couldn't break
through Everton's on form defense. Phil Jagielka was easily the best
defender on the pitch and New signing Shinji Kagawa helped
orchestrate the midfield but it wasn't enough. The other big signing,
Robin van Persie, started on the bench. He subbed on for Danny
Welbeck with 22 minuted left on the clock. He still seemed like a
very new signing which is why he didn't start. He still hadn't fell
into the motion of United. United start off the season with zero
points and Everton start with a well deserved 3 points.
Even though De Gea was spectacular in
goal, he would have needed a clean sheet to win Man of The Match.
TFIU's Man of the Match goes Fellaini
