Already some players are starting to shine through the dross and put a sparkle in the fans eyes, so here is a quick run down of the hottest players of the 2009 season right now:
· Hot Goalie – Keeper Steve Simonsen impressed fans and critics alike in a recent win against Tottenham, especially after been promoted very suddenly from the bench when Sorensen was taken ill just minutes before the game started, not an easy task for any player.
· Hot Defenders – critics maybe saying Jamie Carragher is past his prime and lagging behind the field during match play, but in the last few games he has been the best man on the field, blocking and working the defence like the pro he is and generally putting in a team winning performance.
· Hot Midfielder – Frank Lampard continues to be the driving force behind whichever team he plays in, and is certainly one of the best goal scoring mid fielder of recent years, and after two more goals and more wins for Chelsea he is certainly the best midfielder this season so far.
· Hot Striker – Fernando Torres showed us what he is made of against Man U, and methodically worked the field to ensure he was in place to hold of the great Rio Ferdinand and make himself a fantastic opportunity to send the ball smashing past experienced Man U keeper van der Saar.
