My new weekly ponder!

1) Ivanovic is getting hard to ignore. They said he wasn't nailed on when Luis arrived. They were wrong. In my eyes, he is now THE most nailed on Chelsea defender, having produced attacking returns in each of the first 3 matches. Incredible. He seems to have found a consistency and familiarity in attack this season under Jose and I'm sure more attacking points will be on the cards. Sensational. Costa's arrival seems to have helped his crosses be given the points they deserve, after last season I had Ivan for so long and when I watched his matches his attacking play was always questionable and slightly uncontrolled. Meanwhile, we're all wondering why we went with Gary Cahill. Cahill for Ivan anyone? Do spare a thought for little old Filipe on the bench though...

2) Clyne is getting hard to ignore. His attacks have resulted in a goal and assist already and has some prosperous fixtures on the horizon to say the VERY LEAST. Schniederlin is one to monitor meanwhile for sure. We do all love a defender with great fixtures, with clean sheet potential and a goal or assist in them too. Blissssssssss.

3) I captained SIGGY and it worked. Wow. What a change. From less than guaranteed starts with Spurs to the main man at a familiar Swansea- you always knew this was home and for us this is the perfect combination. Hard to overlook at the moment but I'm just happy that my double hit to get him in paid off with that armband I put around him. In effect he wears that armband for Swansea in attack week in week out. Dyer meanwhile has just been found in many a watchlist...this season is turning into the battle of the D I/Y ERS.

4) Naismith will keep plugging away. I went for Jovetic this week as part of my double hit, but went for Jovetic instead. Never mind. The feisty Scotsman is in a hot run of form right now and Arguably, it is Lukaku's place in the team that looks in doubt after Eto'o's arrival (never had to use two apostrophes like that before!). Naismith is guaranteed to start now.

5) go Diego go! Chelsea have found their man. Enough said. With Hazard, Willian, Fabregas, Oscar, Matic and Ramires behind him, it is not amazing that he has scored 4 in 3 games. I'm not going to mention those who transferred him out, but it must hurt!

6) Stoke. How? No honestly how? They can't keep a clean sheet against a 10 man Hull or Villa, but when City turn up with arguably their BEST 11 (in my eyes, maybe not now!) they do a blinder. Shawcross was immense! Wilson, who the Stoke fans have ridiculed this season, put in a blinder! That's how you play City, Liverpool! Meanwhile, Bojan was never gonna get a chance today!

7) What else now? Ooh yes, United. Daley Blind and Rojo couldn't come soon enough, but let's face it, top four is gonna take at least another season. Anyone who watched today would be amazed at how United kept a clean sheet. Shaky on the ball, De Gea screaming all the time, not moving one inch when the ball hit his crossbar, Evans losing possession, Blackett passing to the wrong side. We'll done Phil though, repaying your owners. As for their attack, clueless. Di Maria must be thinking: "what the hell am I doing here". Now Mata is injured, Rooney owners will be twiddling their thumbs, especially if Sturridge or Balotelli out in a performance tomorrow.

Anyway, hope you had fun reading that. Don't forget, these are my views, I know some of you will disagree but what can you do?
