FA BARCLAYCARD PREMIERSHIP - Round Nine: Who’s hot and who’s not ??


Another weekend of Premiership football. Liverpool take their own first place, Hull City and Aston Villa reinforce their European credentials Tottenham and even win a game. Look that is hot and who's not:

Hot team
Charges of candidates for the prize this week. Liverpool's excellent victory at Chelsea to end their long Unbeaten Liverpool home run and move clear at the top of the table takes a lot of moves. The other winners are Aston Villa for their 4-0 victory at Wigan, Hull City for yet another victory out of their cementing and third place and Sunderland for their first home derby victory for a generation.

Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham, even at long last, might also think they deserve a mention. Nevertheless, the award must go to Liverpool who have pledged themselves quite like a genuine threat to Chelsea and Manchester United (and Hull!) In the Premier League title race.

No hot team
Obviously, all the 'hot' teams beat the other teams above which, by definition, are candidates for the "No hot team award. However, somewhat controversial, I will now give Manchester United this week. They are a great side and I like watching them. On Saturday, for the first forty-five minutes gave Everton a total Footballing lesson. They were simply outstanding. Despite this, they have only taken a lead in l'1-0 at half time and failed to kill the hosts.

In the second half against Everton-attacked and won an unlikely point. If United will have a chance to retain their title, the last Arsenal last season, they could begin to transform football in their major objectives and victories.

Hot guard
After a horrible error in his last home game, West Ham Robert Green made two or three world class saves against Arsenal yesterday. He began to look unbeatable and a ridiculous own goal was the only way past him. We can forgive a slight stroke of blood to the head when he ran out of his goal, and attaches to the end of the second goal. His performance was excellent and well deserving of this award.

No hot goaltender
There really are not any poor goalkeeping performance this week. The only guard who comes to mind is to give Scott Carson from West Brom. Partly because I leave in three and partly because I have not quite forgiven him for leaving that goal against Croatia in yet!

Hot defend
This hurts me. I really, really not like William Gallas. I do not think it is a great captain and I have often been critical of him before. The picture of him leaving a club in the early hours with a cigarette hanging from his mouth last week put under a little pressure.

Against West Ham, it was close and steadfast in defense at Arsenal is looking much more solid. Credit where it is due!

Not to defend hot
Wigan Titus Bramble has long had a reputation as a fine, but the defense is too much tendency to make costly mistakes. The reason is that his reputation increasingly long history and make costly mistakes! For 99% of games he is very, very good defense. Then, in a moment of madness, he often throws it all away.

He gave the penalty against Villa on Sunday Needless to address and Villa won 4-0.

Hot Midfielder
Marouane Fellaini had a difficult start to Everton. The club was in a little turmoil, the manager is not certain to remain and the results were bad on the ground.

The twenty years, Belgium international cost charges of about 4 million pounds rising to £ 15million, and fans are not too sure of what they had for their money.

His second half headed goal to earn a point against Manchester United on Saturday was a way to justify its purchase.

No hot Midfielder
This award is given to Bolton for Gavin McCann. You are at 1-0 against a side with no confidence, and without a win all season with a new manager. Your team is up and it seems that this is a matter of time before the equalizer eat. What you do not need at this time is one of your men midfielder who have already been booked to fly into ridiculous late tackle and to get himself sent. With ten men, the losing team to go 2-0. I'm sure Gary Megson said his piece to his midfield man!

Hot Striker
Another difficult to attribute this week. Marlon King scored one and one from Hull, Adebayor completely change The Game for Arsenal when he came on the bench and, of course, Bagger Robinho winner.

I'm giving this week as the Aston Villa Gabriel Agbonlahor has scored one goal and made two in their 4-0 victory. I beat Fabio Capello on the door with his teammate Ashley Young.

Striker not hot
If he did nothing particularly bad, I certainly have nothing particularly good. Nicolas Anelka is not good enough to lead the Chelsea attack if they have a double winner ambitions.

Liverpool defended very well at Stamford Bridge, but their work is much easier than marking Anelka, it would have been if Didier Drogba was on the ground.

Who else would have appeared this week?
