After weekend 16 of the Premier League, here is my team of the week. Comment below with yours.
Goalkeeper
Jussi Jaaskelainen – West Ham
The shot-stopper kept his eighth clean sheet of the season as the Hammers played out a 0-0 draw with Sunderland. West Ham have now had more 0-0 draws this season than in the entire Bundesliga.
Defenders
Seamus Coleman – Everton
The Irish defender is flourishing under Roberto Martinez and he scored his third goal of the season.
Ben Turner – Cardiff
The centre-half made 11 clearances, won six headers and completed 81% of his attempted passes in his game time.
Jon Flanagan – Liverpool
The young defender scored his first goal for the club with a brilliant swept effort during the Reds’ 5-0 battering of Spurs. He was also defensively solid throughout.
Midfielders
Theo Walcott – Arsenal
The speedy winger grabbed himself a brace against Manchester City and looked as though he had never been away. His pace really troubled the City defence and he provided a number of key balls, too.
Fernandinho – Manchester City
The Brazilian’s work-rate was rewarded with two fine goals against Arsenal on Saturday as he continues his flourishing relationship with Yaya Toure in the middle.
Jordan Henderson – Liverpool
The midfielder’s form was almost unrecognisable against Tottenham as he rant eh show in the absence of Steven Gerrard. His goal was well deserved.
Leon Osman – Everton
Another player in our team who scored a goal, this one in Everton’s 4-1 mauling over a struggling Fulham side.
Peter Whittingham – Cardiff
His delivery is second to none and if he had a bit more pace and perhaps more power in his runs then I would suggest he would be a worthy top eight Premier League player. Outstanding.
Forwards
Luis Suarez – Liverpool
The little South American was at it against yesterday as he scored twice to lead the Reds to a 5-0 thrashing over Tottenham.
Danny Welbeck – Manchester United
Stuck up front, Welbeck helped himself to two goals and terrorised the Villa backline as he linked up with Antonio Valencia.
