It has come as no shock to us all as the above named players
have all started the season on such a
high note scoring some spectacular goals and powering their respective teams to
the top of the Premier league table with Manchester United only on top having
scored more goals than their noisy neighbors. Wayne Rooney has undoubtedly hit
the same form that saw him move to Old
Trafford from Everton and saying his off to a great start is more of an understatement.
Having opened his account for this season by scoring against West Bromwich
Albion , Wayne has been instrumental in
all four wins that has seen United maintain an 100% start to the season. A
sizzling form that has seen him score back to back hat-tricks. His presence so
commanding on the pitch that defenders are left in their wake when he decides
to make one of his surging runs into the penalty box. His ability to switch
play easily with Nani waiting on the wings has made the United attack more
lethal than ever. Everyone seems to have forgotten his poor run of form last
season that saw him almost quitting Old Trafford earlier on in the season. We
are just three games into the season and Rooney has already found the back of
the net eight times this season and I am sure we are yet to see the best from
him. Chicharito has also taken off from where he left off last season opening
his account for the season with two great goals last weekend away at Bolton.
Hernandez never seizes to impress when he gets the opportunity. After suffering
a mild concussion in pre-season that saw him ruled out for the first three games , Chicharito has
certainly resumed his goal scoring duties that won the won the heart of the
United fans making him a fan favorite. Chicharito’s sharpness in the penalty
box is out of this world. Movements so breathtaking that even his team mates
are left in awe. With Nani and Ashley young producing some amazing crosses,
Hernandez is almost certain to find the back of the net every match with his
good eye, electrifying runs and fantastic movements in the penalty box that could
cause headaches for any goalkeeper and defense in the premier league. Hernandez
is definitely going to be right up there fighting for the top goal scorer award
at the end of the season next year.
KUN AGUERO, the wonder kid from Athletico Madrid has set the
premier league alight making his mark almost instantly in his debut
bagging a brace and scoring against
Tottenham Hotspur then the hat-trick
against Wigan Athletic last weekend. Manchester City have definitely found the
new jewel in Aguero. His seamless
transition into the Man. City squad has seen him gelling well with team mates
Nasri and David Silva who do well to feed him perfect passes . Aguero possesses
great movements as well and has proven to be quit a finisher himself. I see him competing with
the likes of Rooney and Hernandez for the top goal scorer award come May next
year. Lets not forget the prolific
Bosnian, Edin Dzeko who also seems to have stepped out of the shadows and show
us the goal scoring form that saw Roberto Mancini digging deep to sign him from
Wolfsburg earlier this year. He found it quite difficult settling into the team
and the premier league last season but this season is totally different. With
two stunning goals against their arch rivals in the Community Shield, the
Bosnian has gone on to score some fantastic goals for his club hitting four
away at White Hart Lane. Dzeko ‘s form has been impressive thus far and I think his goal scoring form is going to run
through the entire season. It’s not
going to be an easy season for either side as both teams possess top drawer
strikers and midfielders. The season is still early and it would be difficult
to rule out other regular contenders such as Daren Bent, Didier Drogba and
perhaps Van Persie. Berbatov all of a sudden looks like history as Hernandez
has obviously condemned him to the Bench. A player that won the joint top goal
scorer with Tevez last season, it’s unbelievable that he has been pushed far
back down the pecking order of strikers at Old Trafford. I don’t see him repeating that perfect goal
scoring form last season because of his limited playing time.
Overall i think the season is going to be as unpredictable
as ever with a lot of breathtaking goals from strikers across the league. We
can all wait in great anticipation and watch the season unfold in style.
