Week 2 - 2 points dropped

Skrtel broke many hearts yesterday. Liverpool were looking good for the win until the dreadful back pass to Reina. I’m still sick in the stomach thinking about it. Still, there were some positives from yesterday’s game. Sterling taking on defenders and adding the dash of unpredictability, something that Downing could not offer. Joe Allen looks like the real deal. Despite his small frame and being only 22, he was easily the most composed in the Liverpool team. Always finding the space to receive and redistribute the ball. His pass completion rate was quite astounding at 93.5%! Shelvey coming on to replace Lucas and working his socks off till the last minute. Rodgers’ confidence in Coates by including him in the team to face Citeh and adding another game under his belt.

This was my team for the weekend.

Cech
Ivanovic Vertonghen Vidic
Cazorla Michu Kagawa Lallana
Defoe Hazard Rooney

Other than Rooney (on the bench?!), Vidic (own goal) and Vert, the rest of the team returned more than 10 points each, giving me 107 points for Week 2. I’m sitting pretty at the top of the group with 278 points. My nearest rival is only 6.5 points behind. Chelsea won’t be playing next week, so a decision has to be made to drop any of Cech, Ivanovic and Hazard or all three of them. Will leave that to the later part of the week. Shall enjoy the summit for now. Woohoo!
