Spindlers List

So I've decided to start making my own team of the week here, players who I believe have played well on the weekend fixtures. I plan to only do a starting 11 though otherwise I could go on for pages, so lets start with my Winter Spindlers list.

Goalkeeper - Joe Hart
I think Hart has come back into form at just the right time for Man City, and whilst some may have questioned whether he was back in form or not I really feel that the Palace game proved he was back at his best. Man city were sloppy in the game really and should have destroyed Palace, if they hadn't decided to play their weaker team against a rejuvenated Crystal Palace, and really the eagles could have actually gotten something from this game if they hadn't had Hart between the sticks, he put his body on the line (Evidently with his wound) and really held the back line together as well as pulling off some great saves too. 

Left back - Maynor Figueroa
I have always liked Figueroa and really enjoy watching him when he is on form and right now, he is on some great form. I nearly gave this to Ben Davies who was fantastic for Swansea especially getting forward against Villa but on occasion he looked wobbly defending and that may have pushed me into picking Maynor. Getting forward he shows he can cross the ball to a well enough level, just as good as Davies but when he has to get back he always manages to hold his own and even against the bigger teams has been good, maybe Hull is better for him than Wigan ever were.

Right back - Seamus Coleman
Without a doubt is Coleman my right back, the lad has been a revelation this season. For the past few seasons he has been pushed forward into being the right mid and whilst he has that attacking flair he has never been quite good enough when playing in the midfield but right now at right back he has been fantastic and has in my opinion has had a better all around game compared to Baines but both of them are making Everton a serious force. Not only has his defending been great but his goalscoring is much better then Phil Neville's ever was, pretty sure he never got 5 in one season, maybe not even that in his whole Everton Career.

Centre back - Vincent Kompany
On  a bad week I still would have trouble pointing out this man's bad moments, he is probably one of the best centre backs out there and against Palace he didn't put a foot wrong. He was intercepting so much and not only that was a threat to the Palace goal whenever City had a set piece, for a centre back he really has it all. I don't think I have to say much more. For a defender who many were worried couldn't get back to his best after a string of injuries, he definitely will be earning himself a spot in the Belgium squad for the summer.

Centre back - Per Mertesacker
I nearly picked Nemanja Vidic for the shear fact he came back from Injury and put in that sort of solid performance for a United defence which has looked a shadow of it's former self but after arguing with my own thoughts I remembered big Per's performance against Newcastle and really believe he was quite a key factor in Arsenals win. The Gunners were not themselves at St James' park and struggled to out possess the Geordies, however Mertesacker really helped to get them through that and get Remy, Gouffran and Sissoko all quiet. 

Left Mid - Willian
I reckon quite a few may disagree with me here but it will make sense when people see my right mid too. He was absolutely amazing against Liverpool, the word that kept on popping up for me was relentless, he would always be causing problems for the Liverpool defence and if it wasn't their defence it was their midfield, he was back and forth all night and wouldn't stop, but it wasn't like that of a headless chicken, he was effective creating space for other players and having a hand in Chelsea's equaliser, this was one of his best performances in a Chelsea shirt.

Right Mid - Eden Hazard
In my opinion this choice doesn't need much explanation, he was just immense against Liverpool and not only came in with a goal of his own but played a part in the second one, but throughout the night he had two players brought onto him or was playing about with the ball and causing Liverpool players nothing but a headache, his passing with Willian and Oscar was amazing and so quick it was saddening when it all ended as the final whistle went but his goal was so well taken and his all around play was amazing.

Central Mid -  Tom Huddlestone
Finally he can get that bloody hair cut he has been waiting for, but all jokes aside Huddlestone has been a completely different player in a Hull shirt compared to when he was in a Spurs one. He has been the catalyst in the Hull Midfield and whenever they play it is rare to not hear about how well he played, even against Man United he was their best player by a long mile. Against Fulham it looked like Pirlo had been thrown into a Semi-Professional match, his passing was amazing and in a game which led to a game similar to that of QPR vs Fulham two seasons ago, he finally managed to score his first goal in 32 months. Very taken may I add.

Central Mid - Jonathan De Guzman
This has been a really hard choice to make, so many great performances from central Midfielders this weekend. I nearly picked McCarthy after his strong display against Southampton or Moussa Dembele for his great game against Stoke, Silva deserves a shoutout too who has returned to that form that helped City win the title. However painful it is for a Cardiff fan to say though, De Guzman was the best out of the lot, he was an absolute monster in Swansea's midfield, every play, every attack, anything good for Swansea was made by the Villa real man, this is the form that I had been told about at the beginning of last season, and whilst I struggled to see it before, that performance left me gob smacked, if he does this for the next few weeks well... He might not be a Villa Real player any longer.

Left Striker - Frazier Campbell
OKAY OKAY, yes I know straight away what you are saying 'Oh he only picked Campbell cos he is a Cardiff player' well no and yes, I love the lad and maybe psychologically it pushed me into choosing him as my first striker but his performance against his old club was amazing, tireless is really what it was. He never stopped during the 82 minutes he was on and his performance deserved the goal he got, maybe if he was in a bigger team he would get so much more praise but really I think his performance was class and has really pushed himself as the first name on Cardiff's team sheet.

Right Striker - Robert Koren
I am personally surprised a name like Suarez or Negredo isn't filling this space but really this weekend they haven't been great, Suarez was kept quiet by Chelsea and Negredo just wasn't his powerful self. Koren however has been a name sneaking under the radar lately but against Fulham he had one of the best performances of this year. He really gave the Fulham defence a bad day and was always causing trouble for them, I nearly placed Berahino here for his movement, but looking back at both games I felt Koren did much more for his team on a whole than Berahino did.

So that's that for my list, this is all my personal opinion for my best 11, some may agree and some may not, give me some feedback or agreement, thanks for reading.
