Share on Google Plus

My team of the week from the Premier League after week 9. The formation is a 4-3-3.

Feel free to share your thoughts.

1. Goalkeeper: Tim Howard

  Tim Howard #1 of the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team directs teammates as they setup for a free kick by Jamaica late in the first half at Sporting Park on October 11, 2013 in Kansas City, Kansas
A tough choice between David Marshall who played a fantastic game for Cardiff and Wojciech Szczesny who saved Arsenal as their lead was threatened by Palace. However, Tim Howard just edges them and gets the place. Howard made an absolutely incredible save on a penalty and made a string of fabulous saves as the Toffees beat Aston Villa away.

2. Defender: Bacary Sagna

  (L-R) Bacary Sagna of Arsenal and Marko Arnautovic of Stoke City challenge for the ball during the Barclays Premier League match between Arsenal and Stoke City at Emirates Stadium on September 22, 2013 in London, England
An absolutely immense performance by Bacary Sagna offensively as well as defensively gives him a spot on the team of the week. A string of key tackles and interceptions as well as completing a stunning 88% of his passes. He's back in form.

3. Defender: Phil Jagielka

Spanish football club Real Madrid's Angel DiMaria (R) attacks the goal as Philip Jagielka (L) of English Premier League club Everton (C) defends at the 2013 Guinness International Champions Cup at Dodgers Stadium on August 3, 2013 in Los Angeles, California
A classy performance by Phil Jagielka who recorded an incredible 14 clearances, five tackles and four interceptions. A highly impressive performance by Jagielka who has formed a wonderful partnership with the forever young Frenchman Sylvain Distin who was extremely close to getting the other spot on the team.

4. Defender: Martin Skrtel

  Martin Petrov of Bolton Wanderers and Martin Skrtel of Liverpool battle for the ball during the Barclays Premier League match between Liverpool and Bolton Wanderers at Anfield on August 27, 2011 in Liverpool, England
An outstanding performance by Skrtel who is in the form of his life at the moment. He led the Liverpool back four effectively and recorded an incredible four interceptions, 11 clearances and three blocks. Also, his passing accuracy was a stunning 89%.

5. Defender: Leighton Baines

 Leighton Baines of Everton is tackled by Jake Livermore of Hull City during the Barclays Premier League match between Everton and Hull City at Goodison Park on October 19, 2013 in Liverpool, England
Yet another brilliant performance by probably the best left back in the country, Everton's Leighton Baines. Roberto Martinez has claimed that he wants Everton to become a top four team and to do that one of the most important things may be not letting Leighton Baines go.

6. Midfielder: Steven Gerrard

  Steven Gerrard of Liverpool in scores the third goal from the penalty spot during the Barclays Premier League match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at Anfield on October 5, 2013 in Liverpool, England
Another fantastic performance by the Liverpool captain. Ran the show as he pulled the strings in Liverpool's 4-1 victory against West Bromwich. Got an assist and a pass completion of 87%, and pretty much showed that he is a "top top player".

7. Midfielder: Ramires

  James McCarthy of Everton competes with Ramires of Chelsea during the Barclays Premier League match between Everton and Chelsea at Goodison Park on September 14, 2013 in Liverpool, England
Top class performance by Ramires who was tireless in the midfield for Chelsea against Manchester City. His performance had it all. Great passing, neat dribbling, great in the defensive play and participated a lot in Chelsea's build up play as the Blues got a late victory.

8. Midfielder: Jay Rodriguez

  Jay Rodriguez of Southampton is tackled by Robin Van Persie of Manchester United during the Barclays Premier League match between Manchester United and Southampton at Old Trafford on October 19, 2013 in Manchester, England
How good are Southampton? Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and now Jay Rodriguez. Top class performance by the team and Rodriguez who got a great goal as well as an assist. Also got close a couple of times with a bicycle-kick going just wide, as well as a great run which could have been a stunning solo goal had it not been for Stekeelenburg's save.

9. Forward: Wayne Rooney

  Wayne Rooney of Manchester United speaks to team-mate Ryan Giggs (L) at the end of the UEFA Champions League Group A match between Manchester United and Real Sociedad at Old Trafford on October 23, 2013 in Manchester, England
Where would Manchester United be without Wayne Rooney? Another brilliant performance by Rooney, who shows his heart and passion for the club every game. He set up Robin van Persie's goal before scoring the equaliser with a stunning header. Great performance from Rooney which helped United get an extremely important victory.

10. Forward: Fernando Torres

  Fernando Torres of Chelsea celebrates scoring their second goal with Ramires of Chelsea uring the Barclays Premier League match between Chelsea and Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on October 27, 2013 in London, England
Where has this Fernando Torres been the last two years? Yes, it wasn't perfect and yes he made a big miss, but he showed glimpses of the old Torres as he made a great performance securing Chelsea the victory against Manchester City. Set up Andre Schürrle for the first goal of the game with a wonderful assist, and hit the crossbar with a thrilling effort. Secured Chelsea the victory in the final moments of the game after some bad communication between Joe Hart and Matija Nastasic. 

11. Forward: Luis Suarez

  Luis Suarez of Liverpool celebrates completing his hat-trick during the Barclays Premier League match between Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion at Anfield on October 26, 2013 in Liverpool, England
Hate him or love him, this guy is a genius and arguably the best player in the Premier League. Luis Suarez got a hattrick in Liverpool's 4-1 dismantling of West Bromwich and showed just how good he is. The first, a thrilling solo effort nutmegging Jonas Olsson before finishing it calmly, the second a wonderful header and the third another header from a free kick. Six goals in four matches. Incredible.
