Review GW 5

CKW's GW 5 best XI prediction:

GK: Robinson (5)

D: Gallas (2) - Ashley Cole (12) - Luke Young (2)

M: Malouda (14) - Fabregas (6) - A.Johnson (1) - Bale (2)

S: Drogba(C)[20] - Tevez (11) - Agbonlahor (2)

Total: 72 pts

Verdict: Not a bad prediction for a week with average scores of 52, and it scores more than my actual team in the FPL.


MANCHESTER UNITED 3 - 2 LIVERPOOL



Berba-top is on hot form today as he scored a hat-trick against Liverpool with 2 headers and an exceptional beautiful overhead kick. Gerrard and co. did their best to pull Liverpool back into the game but too bad, Gerrard scored a penalty and another from free kick but Berbatov is just too hot for Liverpool's defence to handle aerially as all three goals scored by him came from crosses.

Although Joe Cole was daring and trying hard to create chances, Torres' burden is just too strong and lack of supports until N'Gog was brought on to diverse the defence's attentions and create spaces for Torres to win both the penalty and free kick which allow Liverpool to pull themselve back into the game.

O'Shea definitely was the last man and he deserved a red card for bringing down Torres.

WIGAN 0 - 2 MANCHESTER CITY



Tevez scored the opening and created a second for Yaya Toure to grab his first goal for the club. The rotation continues and David Silva who played and scored in the Europa game started the game instead of Adam Johnson. Seems like Milner is not prone to rotation though. MC did just well and deserved to win the game.

SUNDERLAND 1 - 1 ARSENAL



This game left ARSENE WENGER fuming again as BENT scored the goal in the 95th minute, after Fabregas' fluke goal gave Gunners the lead at first half. Rosicky will be the villain as he blasted a penalty into the crowd and wasted the chance to extend the lead. This allowed Sunderland to boost their spirit and eventually succeed to bring themselves back into the game.


EVERTON 0 - 1 NEWCASTLE



Everton who have a habit of starting slow every season stumbled again at home as Newcastle's new signing Ben Arfa scored a stunning long range goal that is also the winning goal for Newcastle's first away win of the season. Ben Arfa is only priced at $5 is definitely a bargain buy as he is a star of his own class.


TOTTENHAM 3 - 1 WOLVES



Wolves failed to secure another win against Tottenham at White Hart Lane as Tottenham have a very late late show to pull themselves back into the game through Van Der Vaart (who was reported to be doubtful for the game) and eventually won the game 3-1, who is scored by supersubs Pavlyuchenko and Alan Hutton (who replaced Kaboul at right back due to injury).


CHELSEA 4 - 0 BLACKPOOL



Blackpool gained their momentum too late as their defences have been tore apart by Chelsea in the first 45 minutes. Kalou started instead of Anelka and has scored the opener and assisted the last goal of Chelsea who is scored by Malouda (2 goals). Drogba assisted 1 and scored 1 in this game, which is quite below my expectation. No goal scored in the second half as Blackpool defended well and even forced Cech to perform 1 or 2 saves. Anyway, 22 goals for Chelsea in just 5 games into the new season.


STOKE 1 -1 WHU

West Ham got their 1st point of the season through a draw at the Britannia Stadium. Quite a dull game to watch. However, there is a man-to-watch who is Parker, Scott Parker who has scored 3 goals for West Ham so far this season. Add him to your watch list.



BLACKBURN 1 - 1 FULHAM

Big 'mouth' Sam who claimed himself who is good enough to manage Real Madrid managed only a draw at home against Fulham. His attacks are toothless and the only goal came from a defender (Samba) assisted by their goalkeeper!! Duh... =.=

Dempsey scored the away goal but Dembele ($5.7 now!!) claimed the bonus 3 pts. I think Dembele is a good choice as Zamora will be out for 5 months and that makes him the only regular striker for Mark Hughes' team.


ASTON 1 - 1 BOLTON

Gerard Houllier only managed a draw with his first game in-charge. Ashley Young scored a beauty free kick (and also bonus 3 pts) but Kevin Davies managed to get a goal to grab a point for Bolton to bring back home.


WEST BROM 3 - 1 BIRMINGHAM

Birmingham are still as weak as last season playing away games. Odemwingie might be another bargain buy for the striker slot as he performed well especially at home games. West Brom this season is no longer the West Brom like before who are often to be the team that allow opposite teams to score free points. They are strong this season and might be one of the contender to survive and stay in the EPL
