PFA Player of the year prt 2 Emmanuel Adebayor

Ade is very similar to Torres in my opinion, both are strong and tall and wreck havoc to opponents defenses. They are both capable in the air and have the ability to score tons of goals. Both bring something new to the table when they are on the pitch and are great entertainers. Both were placed on the pitch as the chosen one to bring in the goals, Torres because Liverpool has no one else of calibre up front, and Ade because he was given the mantle to fill the shoes of the greatest Arsenal forward Theirry Henry.The difference between Ade and Torres, is where Torres has lost opportuniities due to a foolish rotation policy, Adebayor has lost opportunity due to overplay and Wenger's refusal to deepen his squad in the transfer window. With this saying Adebayor had a remarkable season, he overachieved his critics by scoring 20 goals to date, to fill the viod left by Henry, has totally worn defenses making the shooting range open for attacking midfielders. He did this for the greater part of the season all by his lonesome, as his partners RVP and Da Silva both had dreadful injuries this season.
Considering the task put before him Ade has done a remarkable job putting in goals while fighting fatigue and minor injuries and has carried his team to almost winning the premiership. Ade's only weakness is his lack of experience, shot selection, field position management and maturity. Ade has an incedible shot e.g his magnificent goal against the spurs, but while players like Torres and Ronaldo choose different types of shots depending on angle, Ade seems to be more wanton. He also enjoys the ball at his feet and tends to go wide, which is not where he is most effective, he needs to learn to stay central. He and his other teamates very young also showed that they lacked experience and maturity since they were exposed to new experiences such as horriffic injuries,, bad calls, psychological pressure of leading the table, they tended to celebrate after scoring goals on tough opponents such as the top four and not concentrate on the full 90 minutes. I believe he will definitely be a stronger player next year. next...Christiano Ronaldo.

The future of Arsenal and England lies in the hands of an english man

Or boy..but he is starting to mature greatly and I am not talking about his peach fuzz. Theo Walcott was signed a couple seasons ago for around 10 million pds. The whole world wondered when this young man would truly show his class. Svsen picked him for the World cup and Wenger made mention that he would be the next great player after Henry. When Walcott failed to score goals from the start the media began to have the time of thier lives criticizing him. Wenger however had a different plan. He wanted to develop the young lad into the perfect attacking machine. One that is truly a centre attacking force to a multi-dimensional talent that play on both wings. The kid has a powerful foot and pace that would make Cristiano of another team feel he had to step up. In Birmingham the lad hit two classy goals, and seemed to come to age in the Champions League, first making wonderful crosses against AC Milan to totally dismantling the Liverpool defense. Last week he was given a start against Reading and impressed everyone by becoming an important factor in almost every positive play Arsenal did. Another bonus is Walcott is not afraid to run back and defend, not many attacked mind players do this and this is an added bonus to his game, I can only see great things for this young man in the future.

Could being over careful be the downfall of Man United

Manchester United have seemed to have hit a rough patch. The season is ending players are getting injured and they have stopped winning. The draw with Blackburn may have been more detrimental than once thought. Fergurson wanted to ensure there was no slip up for the premiereship title and refused to rest the likes of Ronaldo, Rooney and Ferdinand, as a result Santa Cruz scored an early goal and forced Fergurson to play his stars until the dieing minute. The Blackburn team refused to give in and hit Man U with tackle after tackle wearing them down. Next stop, Nou Camp where Man U looked like a tired team being hit by the Spanish giants who seemed to have suddenly returned to their once great form. With Chelsea coming up on Sat at the Bridge I dont expect Fergurson to rest Ronaldo, Evra and Ferdinand. Chelsea will give them another tenacious task before they face Barca back at home in two days. This will be a major test, and if Man U do not win they could end up trophyless.
