EPL Team of the Week: Round 10

I tried to resist throwing in too many Manchester United players, but to be honest a win over Arsenal and the chance to rub it in to TSK’s JD is something I can’t pass up on.  Mind you, I think I was quite fair.  Have a read and see if you agree.

Alex McCarthy (Reading)
His save for the Granero free kick is almost reason enough for him to be in here.  Then he pulled off another impressive one against the shot of Taarabt.  He was arguably the only reason Reading didn’t end this match as the only team without a win this season.

Steven Whittaker (Norwich)
Making his EPL debut this week and performing quite admirably at that, especially against a team as physical as Stoke. He was very solid in helping his team keep a clean sheet, but was also very impressive going forward, and especially putting in crosses.  Welcome to the EPL.

Time For Change: Giggs, the Back Four, and Stubborn Manchester United

Before I get started, I have to commend Tottenham for their performance against United on the weekend, especially in the first half.  They’re starting to click and really mesh together, adapting to AVB’s coaching style and looking like a proper threat again. The likes of Bale, Vertonghen, Lennon, and even ol’ Defoe upstaged United in their own home, and most importantly for the Red Devils, they (hopefully) opened the eyes of SAF and his team, elucidating which areas on the pitch need serious attention.

Who Should They Sign? Final Week Transfers in the EPL

Ahhh…..football is back! What an opening day we had, watching some of the big boys fall flat and some of the smaller teams turn heads, filling their fans with delusional, soaring hopes for the season.  With just over a week to go until the Summer transfer window is closed, most teams need will be looking to fill some preexisting holes, as well as some new ones which were exposed last weekend.  We’ll have a look at some of the more likely rumours, and who they should be going for.  The more chance of moves happening, the more I’ll ramble.
