Player of the Week
Posted by itkovian
Robinho
It was tough to chose a player of the week this week, for two gameweeks in the Premiership were played, yet none of the other major leagues had any fixtures. Robinho collected a healthy tally of 3 goals and 2 assists in games against Hull and Blackburn, including an equaliser against Rovers in the 93rd minute. Danny Sturridge may have been the catalyst for City's recovery, but most other players, in Robinho's position, would certainly have panicked, while his cool finish alone kept them out of the relegation zone - a factor which could be absolutely key going into the January transfer window, attracting new players.
Honourable mentions:
Newcastle's defence has to be one of the worst in the country nowadays, when it comes up against a quality attack... with that in mind, they may have conceded seven goals in two games, but runner up as player of the week this week is Shay Given. They could well have lost against Liverpool 10 or 11-1, without Shay.
Honourable mention for services to Joga Bonito goes to Ricardo Fuller, because if Andy Griffin was my captain, I'd want to slap him too.
