Premier League week 6 - who’s hot and who’s not?

Hot team

The sixth place in the league, eleven points and six games to 2-1 at the Emirates. They have as many points as Derby County managed to get in all of last season. Hull City fans must think they are dreaming.

It will still be a long hard season for the Tigers, but they were absolutely wonderful beginning. Good luck to them. They are well organized, they try to play decent football and have a great team spirit.

No hot team

I tend to really cross when I hear fans complain that players are not trying. "It's ridiculous" I think, "of course the players are given."

After the game against Portsmouth Tottenham yesterday two ex-pro 's, David Platt and Dion Dublin, both said they believed that most of the Tottenham players were less than 100%. If this is true, it is shameful. Tottenham fans should be the weapons. Incompetence can not be tolerated if the players are all of them, but the incompetence and lack of effort is simply not acceptable.

Hot guard

I have ten goals in two matches and many people (including myself) have begun to write him off. David James had next to nothing to do for four and eighty-nine minutes against Tottenham Aaron Lennon then fired a low, hard shot into the bottom left corner of his goal. James has full length and tipped the ball around the post.

It was a great save by a goalkeeper who had been a spectator until then. This is a sign of a great goalkeeper.

No hot goaltender

I love him as a goalkeeper, but Fulham's Mark Schwarzer will not look back Saturday from the 2-1 defeat at West Ham with a personal pleasure. West Ham is the first goal when I spill the ball into the path of Carlton Cole and the second goal, which proved to be the winner, was a terrible misjudgment by him. He came at the expense of its goal, but never looked like reaching the ball before West Ham Matthew Etherington.

Hot defend

He is an unsung hero of West Brom, and I truly believe that Fabio Capello could do worse than take a look at Paul Robinson. The difficult struggle against the left back has matured and is now less of a risk disciplinary action. May I do not have the pace that it expects a full return to own position but its meaning, its fight against its distribution and, above all, his heart and passion are exceptional.

It is twenty-nine years now it is hardly one for the future, but I've never had full international recognition and only represented his country to levels under 21 years old, many years ago.

I began the campaign. Robinson for England!

Not to defend hot

I still believe that Newcastle Steven Taylor has the ability to be a better player for many years, but it seems to have been affected by the mess behind the scenes at the club more than others.

At its best, Steven Taylor is a leading defense. For now, it seems nervous and hesitant. It is not surprising that some of the Newcastle players are affected by the terrible situation at the club and I hope that people like Taylor, who is a great hope, are not too deeply damaged by the current's going on .

Hot Midfielder

How long can Fabio Capello to ignore the claims of Aston Villa player left Ashley Young? September delivery of pieces is probably as good as anyone else in the country. He runs with the ball at defenders at pace and with real threat. It is direct, fast and skilful.

Another campaign to come. Young for England!

No hot Midfielder

In the past, I was critical of the Tottenham Jermaine Jenas and questioned his right to a place in the England team. I have a little quietened recently as I Breeding and appears to have been one of the few players to Tottenham to play with any spark or enthusiasm.

Yesterday in Portsmouth, I am not well and I gave a penalty for a handball quite ridiculous. Obviously, Tottenham Jenas's woes are not the fault, but he did play a major role in the defeat of yesterday.

Hot Striker

It is difficult to ignore the claims of two but Fernando Torres as he produced two brilliant finishes Thursday in a high profile. However, I will not give this award to him. I give the prize to a player who gave one of the best screens forward-center play I saw in a very long time. Wigan striker Amr Zaki has been absolutely phenomenal in their 2-1 victory over Manchester City.

I played with energy and passion that is rare to see. He also demonstrated an enormous amount of capacity and off the ball and gave Micah Richards and Richard Dunne including a tour absolutely afternoon.

Striker not hot

There is no doubt that Arsenal Emmanuel Adebayor is an exceptional player. It has all the attributes, it is possible for an attacker to have. However, his inability to score in the defeat at home to Hull was absolutely shocking. He was convicted of trying to "walk the ball into the net, and help to create the perfect goal, not only by breaking the net in the way it is more than capable of doing.

If Arsenal are to make a serious challenge for the title they need Adebayor to be his most direct and most unleashed. It was a long way since Saturday.
