MIchu has shown himself to be an absolute legend while Rooney found some form over the weekend. Arsenal, Chelsea and Sunderland are all struggling big time. Join me over the break for a full round up...<!--more-->
 
Liverpool v Southampton 1-0
I brought in Enrique and Suarez this week so three things were inevitable. Enrique would be moved back to LB, Suarez wouldn’t score but he would get booked which means a one match ban.
However, Enrique did still get his clean sheet and Suarez’s ban is away at West Ham which frees him up for the home games against porous Villa and Fulham defences.
Johnson – who was again excellent getting forward – set up Agger’s goal. Lucas returned after 3mths out, and this could positively impact on Gerrard’s returns.
Downing was left out after showing he’s not a LB either in the game @ Spurs while Wisdom also sat on the bench.
Southampton didn’t really show much going forward apart from a couple of speculative efforts from Scouser Lambert. A free week in GW17 looms for the Saints.
Fulham v Spurs 0-3
Fulham continue to leak goals at an alarming rate. Defoe x2 and Sandro did the damage for Spurs who are on a bit of a run just now.
Dawson went off injured with Gallas replacing him, Bale also went off after going Ping. On the plus side the excellent Dembele got more game time and Caulker also returned to the starting line-up. Dempsey and Bale’s replacement Sigu grabbed an assist each.
West Ham v Chelsea 3-1
Things do not look good for Chelsea as they capitulated in the second half. Azpilicueta continues at RB while the magnificent Mata was restored to the starting line-up and made a mockery of those fools who *ahem* traded him out this week.
Moses started and was good while Oscar and Marin came off the bench and expect rotation from now on between Mata, Hazard (who was a passenger in this game), Oscar, Marin, Moses and even Bertrand apparently for the three spots behind a woeful Torres.
Diame was surprisingly dropped to the bench but changed the game when he came on @HT. Carroll is out for 6-8wks but his replacement Cole (1 goal, 1 assist) was good. Diame and Maiga scored the two late goals to seal victory.
Arsenal v Swansea 0-2
Swansea have been excellent recently and fully deserved 3pts here. Michu is already a Swansea and FPL legend grabbing another brace here. Moore and Dyer with the assists.
Sagna and Koscielny were missing with injury while Wenger puzzled everyone by leaving the improving Giroud on the bench for Gervinho. Walcott played but  couldn’t add to his six goals in six games.
The Emirates crowd are turning on Wenger and they’re in a nasty place at the moment. Tremmel (4.1m) and company have let in one goal in three. Norwich @home next week for The Swans. Ten league goals now for Michu. Davies and Rangel impressed.
Norwich v Sunderland 2-1
Four PL wins in 27 games now for The Black Cats. They played a decent second half though without the injured Fletcher. Gardner grabbing the goal. DGW coming up.
Bassong scored with his second goal in three games and Pilkington scored the winner. Ruddy’s replacement Mark Burn (4mil) put in a good shift.
QPR v Villa 1-1
Holman scored on a rare start while Benteke remains Villa’s standout performer. Bent made the bench but it’s clear that Lambert doesn’t fancy him.
Jamie Mackie again started and scored while Cisse spent the game on the bench. Park Ji-Sung stepped up his comeback with another 45mins replacing Granero at HT. SWP was recalled while Green replaced the injured Cesar.
Man City v Everton 1-1
Mancini has now won one game in seven against bogey team Everton. Fellaini yet again got on the scoresheet with Baines grabbing the assist. Gibson started while Jelavic’s dry run continues.
Tevez scored from the spot, Dzeko with the assist. Kolarov only lasted 7mins before coming off with injury, Zabaleta replacing. Lescott was surprisingly recalled no doubt to the absolute disgust of new Nastasic owners. Aguero was benched until the 68th min before coming on for Tevez.
Everton have drawn seven of their last nine games while Man City are still unbeaten in the league this season.
West Brom v Stoke 0-1
Another clean sheet for Begovic & co as Stoke scored their first away win of the season. It was subs Kightly (assist) and Whitehead (goal) who did the damage. Crouch was missing with injury.
WBA made six changes as Long was restored to the starting line-up. Dorrans was impressive as he played the full 90mins. Two straight defeats for The Baggies.
Reading v Man Utd 3-4
Rooney was excellent with two goals and one assist with RVP and Anderson chipping in with goals.
Robson-Kanu, Le Fondre and Morrison scored for Reading. Shorey x2 and McAnuff with the assists. Rafael was subbed on 30mins after McAnuff tore him a new one. Smalling coming on. Jones came on for the injured Anderson.
Vidic could make his first team return midweek in the UCL.
52 pts for the week for me after a 4pt hit, the Suarez transfer was a bit of a disaster but Im hoping itll come good in the next few weeks, let us know how you all went.
