I’m going with Kelleher in the sticks; he was magnificent at Villa Park. That was such an impressive win for Brentford with 10 men as well! I don’t know how Villa didn’t score in the game. He’s been a great signing for them.
Kayode’s back in the side too, I really like this lad. He’s a fantastic athlete on that right hand side and so solid. He was a vital part of a great defensive showing from Brentford and don’t forget those long throws too!
Leeds huffed and puffed against Arsenal, but they couldn’t get the better of the Arsenal backline, and Gabriel in particular. I don’t see many better in world football than this lad when he’s at his very best, he’s just so dominant in both boxes.
It was nice to see Konate back to near his best, it’s been a really difficult season for the lad. He was fantastic against Newcastle, dealing with everything that came his way. To top it off, he chipped in with a goal near the end.
Well that was a quiet London derby! Cucurella’s introduction at half-time really helped to turn that game around. He gave them so much more energy and spark on the left and obviously chipped in with that equaliser. He’s a real livewire.
Another Chelsea lad goes in the side; Enzo Fernandez was brilliant. He really drove the team on from the heart of midfield and obviously popped up with the winner too. He’s added goals to his game this season, he’s having a great year.
Casemiro’s revival at United has been amazing. A year or two ago, a lot of people thought this lad was finished and becoming a liability and here he is now, still such a key player. He was superb against Fulham, scoring the opener before creating the second. He’s leaving at the end of the year, and they’ll miss his experience and quality.
Maduke got his chance from the start against Leeds and boy did he take it. The best compliment you can give him is that Arsenal didn’t miss Saka one bit, his deliveries were brilliant and he created the first two goals. He’s done well at Arsenal and probably been a better signing than people expected.
Slowly but surely, Wirtz is beginning to find his feet at Liverpool. He’s been good over the last few weeks and looks like he’s building a good relationship with Ekitike. He scored one, created another and just looked much more at home in this side.
I thought Ekitike took his two goals very, very well. He made those finishes look far easier than what they were and he’s really impressing right now. He’s been the bright light in Liverpool’s season so far.
Solanke has to be the star man, for that second goal alone! The first one might have been a foul but let’s ignore that for now, what a finish for the second. That was so classy and he made something out of nothing. It’s good to see him back at this level, he’s a very good number nine.
Manager of the Week – It has to be Keith Andrews, Brentford have been a revelation and aren’t slowing down! To go to Villa Park and win whilst being a man down is so impressive and shows the character of this squad.
