...mi smo sami sebi omogućili bolji start...

Mislim da će prvak ove sezone biti Arsenal ili Chelsea. I ne spominjem Arsenal zbog ovih 1:6 nego sam to mislio i prije. Ne virujen da će Man Utd ove sezone bit prvak bez Cristiana.

A nadam se da je to.
Bit će bolje, uvijek znatno bolje igraju na proljeće, samo da ne bude prekasno. Raduje dobra igra Johnsona, ako ovako igra uvijek vrijedi i više on onog što je plaćeno za njega. Osim njega prolazna ocjena Benayounu (valjda je Rafa shvatio da treba igrat od početka, nakon kriminalnih 70 minuta u zadnjih 20 njegovim ulaskom su živnuli i igrali prilično dobro) i Reini. Ostali loše.
Šteta da Aurelio nije bio zdrav, on bi mogao kad nema igre kao jučer zakuhat dobrim izvođenjem prekida.

Nema odmora, sutra nove tekme.

Premier League new boy Nenad Milijas and West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green head up our new-look Team of the Week - but there's bad news for Everton fans.

HOW IT WORKS

We take marks out of 10 awarded to Premier League players from a selection of six national newspapers - The Sun, Daily Star, Daily Mirror, Daily Mail, The Times and the Guardian - then create an average and round to the nearest half. The top player in each position will be rewarded with a spot in the team of the week, while the worst scorers will be named and shamed in our Flops XI.

TEAM OF THE WEEK

A new season, a new Team of the Week system - and a new name on the team sheet as Premier League new boys Wolves show that their scouts are earning their lengthy overseas trips with all expenses paid.

Top eye-catching new name of the week is 26-year-old Serbian playmaker Nenad Milijas (pictured). The summer arrival from Red Star Belgrade was a real bright point in an opening-day performance from Wolves that was evidently as a solid a 2-0 home defeat as they could have asked for.

Their decent performance was underlined by the fact that the first name on the team sheet this week is that of the West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green, who did a great job frustrating them. Green's superb performance between the sticks kept the hosts at bay throughout. His team-mate Mark Noble also makes the starting line-up after scoring the opener.

It's an unusual trio to kick off TOTW with, but the opening day also saw superb performances from superstar names Didier Drogba, Cesc Fabregas and Wayne Rooney, who showed the predatory talent, brilliant all-round skills and determination that they're famed for.

Elsewhere, Hull's plucky loss - during which they clearly showed they had used up all their 2009 allocation of luck on that ridiculous last-day-of-the-season escape - netted them TOTW spots for Andy Dawson and Michael Turner, with Boaz Myhill only missing out narrowly to Green in goal.

One of several former Swansea-based residents of Wigan, Jordi Gomez, impressed on his Premier League debut, as did Arsenal new-boy Thomas Vermaelen.

In the final spot is a Manchester City player - and no, it's not one of the players from Mark Hughes's L200 million spending spree. Instead, it's good old Micah Richards, who has been with the club since before he needed to shave.
