Football Special Report: Premier League Team of the Week (Part 1)
After another week gone in the English Premier League season, Sir Alex Fergusons, Red Devils still have not won a match outside their own home and they could not beat a team that Manchester United should have taken three points from.
The match with Sunderland resulted in a draw for Manchester United and this only came with a positive effect with Sunderland as they are improving their record with one of the top contenders of the English Premier League.
Though to be fair, Sunderland had been performing exceptionally well this season, as they have had draws with Liverpool, Manchester United, the Gunners and they actually came out victorious in a match against Manchester City.
Right now, The Reds are suffering with yet another embarrassing loss as they lost to Blackpool with a score of two to one. This match came as a disappointment to most Red fans, as this match was on the Reds own home ground and Blackpool is a newly promoted
club.
Newcastle United lost to Manchester City but most people out there are arguing that they have a right to feel cheated in this match, as they lost the match because of a crucial penalty and this was an unfair penalty that should not have been taken.
The Blues are still in full throttle, as they achieved yet another victory against the Gunners at their own home ground, Stamford Bridge.
The Lily whites also came out shinning against Aston Villa at White Hart Lane, the match ended with the score boards reading two to one.
So for the team of the week, the formation being used here is 4-4-2.
Matthew Gilks: Goalkeeper – Blackpool
Matthew Gilks is Blackpool’s goalie; he is twenty eight years old and was a vital reason to why the Reds had such an embarrassing loss. The keeper stood like a tall wall in the penalty area and was not letting any ball through. Another interesting factor
about the player is that he was born in England but he qualified to play in the Scottish national team and became a part of the squad in August 2010.
Matthew Gilks has made the best clubs in the world catch his attention as he did not let the occasion or the pressure get to him; he was calm and pulled amazing stops in the game which resulted in Liverpool’s loss at their own home.
Carlos Salcido: Right Back – Fulham
Carlos Salcido is considered to be one of the best signs to Fulham, ever since Mark Hughes took control of the club, as the player has showcased immense talents and skills. The player has spent only a short time in the English style play of football and
his abilities have made him a well deserved
One of the best business deals that Mark Hughes made after joining the ranks at Fulham was signing Carlos Salcido. As this player is a quality footballer, who deserves first team time and it is a big misfortune for the team that he did not play before.
Salcido creates monumental threat on the football field, as he did so in the match when he took a shot at one end of the field and guided it accurately in the middle of the opponent’s goal line.
Nemanja Vidic: Centre Back - Manchester United
This player was the only positive outcome from the Sunderland match which resulted in a draw was Nemanja Vidic’s play in the match.
He was like a major anchor in the defence line for the Red Devils and did not let the shots taken in the air cause any problems for Manchester Untied.
