Liverpool vs. Fullham
I was watching Liverpool vs. Fullham play on tv this weekend. I thought the game was pretty good. Fullham had many shots and attempts to score, but just couldn't get the ball into the net. Liverpool played their usual tactics by touching and passing the ball numerous times before reaching the 18 to try to score. They like to play defensifly and keep the ball in the defense area and send long balls most of the time. it seemed that the forwards for Liverpool were just not shooting or getting any attempts. One of Liverpool's forwards had so many chances to score, but it was if the ball hated him, as he was so unlucky and did not score. Torres came in and scored a goal and later came a penalty kick from Gerard. the penalty kick was unfair as Crouch faked a trip by another player, but he actually tripped over his own legs. The game ended 2-0 as a win for Liverpool to fight for top positions in the table. At the moment, Arsenal is first with Man U second behind them.

Arsenal
Arsenal seemed to start off very slow, inconsistent, and showing too many mistakes in their first games of the season. Reasons causing this could have been because of the departure of Henry to Barcelona. Henry brought leadership and confidence and was a captain for the team, but because he left, it seemed that Arsenal was less confident and didn't have a superb striker on the team like Henry. Also, there were many injuries and problems with the club. For example, the club was deciding on keeping or firing coach Wagner because of the slow start of the season. Wagner has been coaching the club for many years now and even before star Henry signed to the club. Everything has changed now,though as they are in the top places in the league. They show great will and determination to win every game they play. They are also showing impressive talent from the veterans as well as the new and young players. They are scoring many goals and are being very consistent now. Also player Abedayor seems to be playing very well as he is the lead goal scorer on the team with many goals. He is scoring unbelievable goals and is now a starter for the team as well as one of the best players in the world right now. It seems that he is the new replacement for Henry.
