Week 7 has
passed a week ago and here The Writer offers his view on the key performers and
performances of the week that are worth mentioned. The award goes to...
Top
3 Performers of the Week
Gold Medal (1st): David de Gea
This is
the easiest decision for The Writer. Seeing him play against Everton and
reading all appraisals he got from all corner of the football world, he has to
receive this award. He saved an important penalty from Leighton Baines, he
saved a shot from Leon Osman and he saved a thunderous shot from Bryan Oviedo
in the dying minutes. How is that for a full throttle performance? It has to be
him.
Silver Medal (2nd): Andrew Robertson
Whoever is
yet to know Andrew Robertson, sure have to do it now. He is up there with the
best new upcoming leftback in EPL, joining the likes of Aaron Creswell and
Sebastian Pocognolli. He was outstanding in bombing forward from the back to
the left wing and his crosses were dangerous everytime. He got an assist in the
match against Crystal Palace but it was his performance at leftback that really
caught the eye and now Hull have two dangerous wingbacks at both right and left
in Robertson and El Mohammady.
Bronze Medal (3rd): Adam Lallana
This 3rd
place is actually more suitable to be awarded to Jordan Henderson as he scored
a goal and made an assist. But no one can question Lallana’s improvement in the
match against West Brom. The Writer really liked the way Lallana dribbled the
ball in that match and his goal (his first for Liverpool), was really an
eye-pleasing goal. This guy is so good with both feet and his left footed
strike was just as precise as his right foot.
Worst
3 Performers of the Week
Rubbish (1st): Harry Redknap
This week
has more winners in the likes of managers rather than players like previously.
And the winner of the worst performer for this week 7 goes to Harry Redknap of
QPR. Harry was lucky last season where he nearly failed to guide QPR into the
EPL from the Sky Bet Championship. This season he showed again that he may not
be the right manager to lead QPR into the success that the chairman, Tony
Fernandes and the fans really want. Another loss to West Ham brought QPR into
the bottom of the league. The jury is out for Redknapp.
Scrapped Paper (2nd): Dejan Lovren
A 20
Million signing. A huge amount but yet to prove his worth. Liverpool still
concedes goals for fun like last season and the decision to remove Daniel Agger
and replacing him with Lovren looks like a wrong decision now. In the game
against West Brom, Lovren conceded a penalty by tackling Saido Berahino in the
danger area. And in another moment, he had a header miscommunication with
Martin Skrtel at Liverpool’s 6 yard box which nearly cost Liverpool a win. He
looked clumsy at times and yet to gel with any of his centre back pairing so
far.
Reject Paper (3rd): Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho
This is another
surprise choice. They were involved in a shoving in the middle of the match
between their respective clubs. Rumors said that Mourinho provoked Wenger and
this lead to Wenger losing control and decided to shove his counterpart. A man
of high patience like Wenger is seldom lost his temper and that shows us how
bad Mourinho is actually. Mourinho has a great coaching ability but his moral
often let him down.
Goal
of the Week
The best
goal of this week 7 goes to Yaya Toure. There were many more outstanding
goals scored during this week, but that so called ‘common goal’ by Yaya was
just up there with the very best. If looked into the way he scored it, no one
can sense any danger before he struck the ball. He just dribbled the ball
against the Aston Villa defenders and then seconds later, he pulled the trigger
with his left foot (his weaker foot) and then bang, it was a goal. The timing
of the goal was also perfect as ManCity was into more than 80th
minutes in the game and they really need a goal to win the match.
