***Carlos Tevez sedikit terlalu lambat nyetel dengan West Ham shg mereka jadinya sudah terjun bebas duluan. Tapi IMHO kalau Tevez bisa tetap perform bagus dan West Ham konsisten mendapatkan poin di sisa pertandingannya bisa jadi mereka akan bisa selamat dari jurang degradasi. ----- Original Message ---- From: Duddy Heryudi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Total Football <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; BOLA <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 2, 2007 11:36:49 AM Subject: [BolaML] INGGRIS - Best of the Weekend Best of the Weekend By Tom Adams - Created on 31 Mar 2007 Best of the Weekend Player of the Weekend Peter Crouch The lanky Liverpool striker marked his return from injury with a perfect hat-trick, scoring against Arsenal with his right-foot, left-foot and head in a 4-1 victory for The Reds. Crouch could have counted himself lucky to miss England's dismal week in Euro 2008 qualifying and came back refreshed to score his first ever treble in the Premiership. Goal of the Weekend Paul Scholes The midfield schemer continues to enjoy a vintage campaign and his goal in Manchester United's 4-1 win over Blackburn was essential as well as enchanting. Scholes sparked a tremendous fight-back from his side as he deftly skipped past Ryan Nelsen and Stephen Warnock before measuring the perfect sliding shot to beat Brad Friedel. Pass of the Weekend Fabio Aurelio The Brazilian supplied two of Liverpool's goals in their comprehensive win over Arsenal, and both crosses could have been worthy of the title 'Pass of the Weekend'. His free-kick for Daniel Agger's header was wonderful, but his earlier cross for Crouch's second goal was unerring in its accuracy and left the Gunners defence with no hope. Save of the Weekend Paddy Kenny The Irish keeper did his very best to keep Sheffield United in the game before they eventually fell to a 1-0 defeat to Bolton as he produced a string of fine saves. In the first half, Nicky Hunt unleashed a 35-yard volley that was a viable contender for 'Shot of the Weekend', but Kenny was equal to it and dived at full stretch to tip the ball over the bar. Tackle of the Weekend Jay DeMerit Watford's American defender made his full international debut in midweek and he showed his class again in a narrow defeat to Chelsea. It looked for long periods as though The Hornets were going to frustrate the title hopefuls, and DeMerit played a huge part in that as he produced a perfectly timed block to deny Frank Lampard when the Chelsea man was through on goal in the latter stages. Miss of the Weekend Ryan Giggs Manchester United's Welsh wing wizard enjoyed an afternoon to forget against Blackburn as he was guilty of a shocking miss. At the same end of Old Trafford where he blazed over the bar against Arsenal in 2003, Giggs managed to hit the woodwork this time but he would have been at a loss to explain how he did so from only yards out. Controversy of the Weekend Charlton's winner A real relegation six-pointer at The Valley ended in controversy as Darren Bent scored from the spot to earn Charlton a 1-0 win over Wigan. With so much at stake, referee Peter Walton had to make the correct decision when Fitz Hall tangled with Hermann Hreidarsson after 86 minutes. The Wigan defender was penalised for holding and Bent took advantage to allow The Addicks to move to within one point of safety. Game of the Weekend Manchester United v Blackburn Old Trafford was the scene of Saturday's most exciting encounter, even if Anfield did witness another 4-1 win as Liverpool disposed of Arsenal in a crucial game in determining third place. Manchester United went one down to a shock strike from Matt Derbyshire, but a stunning second half performance saw The Red Devils triumph thanks to goals from Scholes, Michael Carrick, Park Ji-sung and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Throw in saves galore, a bit of needle and Giggs's shocking miss and you get a truly memorable encounter. Moment of the Weekend Carlos comes good If West Ham are to stay up this season it is likely to be largely down to their Argentinian striker, quite a turnaround for a player who became a laughing stock following his shock arrival alongside Javier Mascherano. The signing of the two internationals has been held partially responsible for the London side's failings this season, but Tevez has shown his class in recent weeks and his goal against Middlesbrough was his third in as many games. Whilst Mascherano slinked off to Liverpool in January, Tevez has knuckled down and his all-round display - including setting up Bobby Zamora for The Hammers' first goal - demonstrated why he could belatedly prove to be an inspired signing.
