Chelsea's Deco Hot But Arsenal's Adebayor Not

Wigan Athletic - The Lactics played some fantastic football against Chelsea and looked the better team for long periods. A special mention for Walter Palacious who was outstanding.

NOT

Stoke Penalty - Rory Delap fell over his own feet! Now I'm no referee but even I know Delap isn't going to skin anyone in the box.

Stoke defending - Aston Villa walked through the City defense for their first and Martin Laursen tapped in from six yards for the second. Stoke might have won, but boy are they weak at the back.

Kolo Toure - What is he doing with his hair? Was that a pineapple on his head? Jason Lee eat your heart out.

Emmanuel Adebayor - Another game against mediocre opposition and still no sign of a goal. 30 goals this season? I'm telling you not.

John Pantsil - It could have been all so different for Fulham had Pantsil been sent off for a poor challenge on Arsenal's Eboue. He really did deserve to go.

Liverpool Winger's - Well the lack of them really. Come on Rafa Benitez you're sitting on something great.

Juande Ramos - Where is the genius tactician? The supposed Spanish maestro has had his team sold from under him and he's looking strangely out of his league in the EPL.

Everton Kids - The Toffee's started with 16-year-old Jose Baxter and 17-year-old Jack Rodwell. Great for them but very bad indeed for a European push.

West Brom - Some bad defending, the mother of all cock ups, and no points means that Albion are so far the only promoted side not yet on the board. They play great football though.

Blackburn Rovers - A lucky win away at Everton was shown up by Hull City at Ewood Park. Listen to me Paul, sort things out with Benni McCarthy. You're going to need him.

Anelka Dive - Cut it out! Chelsea are good enough to win games without you falling about all over the place. Even Didier Drogba learnt that!

Mark Noble - Simply the dumbest thing I've seen all season. Rightly booked for grabbing the ball while on the deck but to dive into a stupid tackle minutes later was just that, stupid! You cost your team bud.

I'll finish off with Manchester City who put all the doom and gloom behind them for the day and hammered 10 man West Ham United. Last week I criticised Mark Hughes for leaving out young Sturridge but this week Hughes made the right call.

The end result was an opening goal for Sturridge and a comfortable win for Ciity. Five goals in two games for a team with a clear lack of strikers. What can Jo add?

A mention too for two goal Elano and his sidekick Stephen Ireland.

So there we have it. I hope you enjoyed the read.
