Wk: 10 That was The Week That Was

A far from intimidating Anfield crowd

After his performance for France against Holland, Steklenburg had much abuse hurled,

But following his penalty saves against Man City he looks one of the best in the world.
Chelsea were dominant defeating Leicester but Arsenal were not so convincing.
At times they looked well in control but in the end had Arsene Wenger wincing.
Granit Xania has not had the best of starts in his Arsenal career and there are good reasons.
His red card against Swansea makes him the most dismissed player in Europe for 2 seasons.
What's happened to Joe Allen, the man associated with the proverbial 'barn door'?
For Stoke City and Wales it seems at the moment he cannot help himself but score.
'Red Monday' came for the 'Game of the Season', at least that's what Sky Sports said.
In reality it was 2 saves from de Gea and 1 shot from Courthino stopping us going to bed.
It was a mirror of last week's England game with Man United's top scorer not given a start
For Liverpool Henderson laboured in midfield and up front Sturridge didn't look the part.
If as it seems Mourinho's purpose is not to be defeated by any of their so called rivals,
Then is their season going to be similar to Sunderland's, just be a battle for survival?
In the Champions League Leicester have all but qualified for the knock-out stages

But Spurs still have a bit to do after, at times, their poorest performance for ages.

Man City were o.k. for a while against Barcelona but then got too messy at the back.
The Barcelona keeper made some good saves but then they've got Messi in attack.
That's four games now without a win for a side they said were without a weakness.
Arsenal on the other hand have won their last seven. Could it be their turn for success?
Mourinho made changes for the Europa game with Rooney leading the attack.
And guess what they played much better, what will he do now with his pack?
