I caught up on some highlights of the Leicester match and must say on the goals the City defence was just atrocious. It's an interesting situation, as if I'm right this is the first time in his senior managerial career where Pep's in charge of a side that isn't the "dominant" side in a league. I'm not saying he will struggle, it was always going to take time for him to build his side, but I'm interested in seeing how he handles the challenge.
On the other side of Manchester, there's a lot of talk surrounding Mourinho's team. Some say he's the right guy to rebuild, but he needs time given what situation he took over in Manchester. Others say that he's lost some of the intensity and hunger as a manager, while others say he's been figured out (i.e. mind games, how he deals with players etc). Again, it's interesting to see what will happen, because right now I'm not sure what the exact problem is in United looking in from the outside.
I'll give credit to Conte, his record in England so far is pretty exceptional, having the (joint) best defence in the league and winning 12 out 15 is very impressive. More impressive is he seems to have clicked with some key players who were misfiring last season (Hazard, Matic and Costa to name examples). Klopp deserves similar plaudits for his work, he's putting his ideas into place at Liverpool and what's quite exciting is his approach is one that feels like fits with the traditions of Liverpool.
Must say that this year the Premiership's been pretty interesting. With the coaches involved it was always an interesting situation, but I can't say I was expecting the results we're seeing.
