Fan's eye view: club guide by those who know best
23 December 2004
CHELSEA
Top of the class
Arjen Robben and Damien Duff. As a duet they can terrorise any defence.
See Headmaster
What was Adrian Mutu thinking?
(Rob Hobson, editor of CFCnet http://www.cfcnet.co.uk)
ARSENAL
Top of the class
Francesc Fabregas' distribution and composure are phenomenal for such a
young player.
See Headmaster
Pascal Cygan is always being caught out. His pace and positioning are dreadful
and many of the goals conceded have been his fault.
(Matt Denver, lifelong Arsenal fan)
ASTON VILLA
Top of the class
Lee Hendrie. He's maybe not the most popular player among Villa fans but he's
done well on the pitch and he's scored some brilliant goals.
See Headmaster
No one's been terrible. With such a small squad it seems to be that everyone's
plugging away.
(Seth Alker, chairman, London Aston Villa Supporters' Club)
BIRMINGHAM CITY
Top of the class
Two have stood out: Mario Melchiot and Julian Gray. Melchiot for his
consistency,while Julian has performed well considering he was thrown straight
in with little experience.
See Headmaster
Jesper Gronkjaer - his performance was nowhere near what the lad was capable of.
(Barry Zimmerman, BCFC North-east Supporters' Club)
BLACKBURN ROVERS
Top of the class
Paul Dickov. His work ethic is excellent and he never gives defenders a moment's
peace.
See Headmaster
No one in particular, but we need to cut out mistakes which are costing us
goals and finish more clinically.
(Anthony Carter, Blackburn Rovers' Supporters' Association)
BOLTON WANDERERS
Top of the class
Gary Speed, an inspirational signing.
See Headmaster
Hierro is great in midfield but too slow in the back four.
(Tony Pearson, chairman, Bolton Wanderers Supporters' Association )
CHARLTON ATHLETIC
Top of the class
Jerome Thomas. A ￡100,000 signing from Arsenal, Jerome has come into the team
and guaranteed his name on the team-sheet with his attacking runs down the
left.
See Headmaster
Mark Fish has been injured since September, and when playing was having a
torrid time in the defence.
(David Hall, website editor, addicksonline)
CRYSTAL PALACE
Top of the class
Emmerson Boyce doesn't look out of place after his move from the Second
Division to the Premiership.
See Headmaster
Sandor Torghelle. Must curb play-acting and diving into tackles.
(Mark Gardiner, former chairman of Palace Independent Supporters' Association)
EVERTON
Top of the class
Lee Carsley, even before the derby win. When he was suspended for three
games following his League Cup sending-off against Preston, he was sorely
missed.
See Headmaster
No one
(Ian Critchley, Everton Supporters' Club - London area)
FULHAM
Top of the class
Moritz Volz, with the two new boys Zesh Rehman and Liam Rosenior not
far behind.
See Headmaster
Steed Malbranque must be disappointed by his current form, given how he
usually plays, but I'm sure he will bounce back.
(John Aitken, Fulham Supporters' Club press officer)
LIVERPOOL
Top of the class
Jamie Carragher, without question. He might not have the armband, but
he's our real captain.
See Headmaster
Josemi. When he's on the pitch, bad things tend to happen.
(Dave Usher, editor of the Liverpool Way fanzine)
MANCHESTER CITY
Top of the class
Shaun Wright-Phillips is at a much higher level than the team.
See Headmaster
Steve McManaman. Mysteriously picks up a vast salary with no guilt.
(Mike Holden, editor of Chips and Gravy fanzine )
MANCHESTER UNITED
Top of the class
Gabriel Heinze.
See Headmaster
Players have had off games but as a team we are underachieving.
(Mark Longden, press officer for Independent Manchester United Supporters'
Association)
MIDDLESBROUGH
Top of the class
Stewart Downing has been most impressive.
See Headmaster
No one.
(Stuart Bargewell, chairman of Middlesbrough Official Supporters' Club)
NEWCASTLE UNITED
Top of the class
Jermaine Jenas has taken on a leading role this year.
See Headmaster
Titus Bramble. And Laurent Robert has showed glimpses but hasn't really
provided the effort the Geordie public requires.
(John Bradley, lifelong Newcastle fan)
NORWICH CITY
Top of the class
Damien Francis. And Nigel Worthington has got on quietly with a difficult
job when other managers in the lower half of the league have been sacked.
See Headmaster
Gary Holt.
(Phil Harris, society secretary of Norwich City Supporters' Trust)
PORTSMOUTH
Top of the class
Our captain, Arjan de Zeeuw. New manager Velimir Zajec, with Joe Jordan, will
prove something to beat.
See Headmaster
I wouldn't like to say. But although young Gary O'Neill is playing OK he
probably needs to make an improvement.
(Nigel Treader, chairman of Portsmouth Supporters' Club)
SOUTHAMPTON
Top of the class
Anders Svensson has had a few impressive games and Kevin Phillips has worked
his socks off.
See Headmaster
Paul Telfer, but that hasn't changed from last season.
(Andy Richards, chairman of the Northern Saints Supporters' Club)
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
Top of the class
Jermain Defoe. Paul Robinson not far behind.
See Headmaster
Up until recently, Frederic Kanoute.
(Wyart Lane, editor of My Eyes Have Seen The Glory website
http://www.mehstg.com)
WEST BROMWICH ALBION
Top of the class
Jonathan Greening has been a constant menace.
See Headmaster
Riccardo Scimeca. There are much better players waiting in the wings.
(Neil Lee, chairman of the WBA Kent Supporters' Club )
