Another satisfying week for the ex-Chelsea and Wrexham squad and some changes to look forward to after the transfer window. A wildcard may be needed.
52 points was above average. According to the standing that puts the team at 749,147 overall. Considerably better than the position of 2,059,634 after Gameweek 1. The future is bright.
Good performances from captain Sturridge (again), debutant Ruddy, Johnson, Huth (about time) and the interloper Baines.
The Transfer Window has opened up opportunities with the movements of Moses, Lukaku and Borini.
The choices of goalkeeper remain the same, Ruddy or the injured Foster.
The defence remains the same with Johnson, Huth and the injured Taylor being the only valid options with the addition of Evra and Baines. There is talk of the free agent Bhoularuz coming to the Premiership and Gallas is also available f someone picks them up. Sadly no one went for Mancienne who is apparently surplus to requirements at Hamburg.
In midfield there are now 8 players for 5 places. Moses, Sinclair, Walters and Parker pick themselves I think. Joe Cole would too if he was not injured. Joe Allen is ruled out because of the limit of 3 Liverpool players (Sturridge, Johnson and Moses being ahead of him) and that leaves Duff and Sidwell. It's a tough one but I think Duff will get the nod.
In attack there are now 4 players for 3 slots. There might have been 5 but apparently Carlton Cole, having only left West Ham 2 months ago, has not been able to prove his fitness to rejoin them. Sturridge and Lukaku pick themselves which leaves a choice between Anelka and Borini. Again it is a tough one. While Borini was going to struggle for games at Liverpool, he may get more chances at Sunderland. Anelka on the other hand may drop down the pecking order at West Brom with their additions. I may well gamble on Borini.
