Top 3 & Worst 3 Performers of the Week and Goal of the Week: EPL 14/15 Week 7



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.
