Premier League grades: Dennis Wise offers his view on the weekend’s games

Show/hide article…

Who were the top performers and who let themselves down in the Premier League this weekend?

We asked Sky Sports News guest Dennis Wise to offer his verdict on the weekend’s top-flight action, with the former Chelsea midfielder grading each club on their display.

So, how did your club fare - did they top the class with an A, flunk with an F, or come somewhere in between? Read on to find out…

Bringing on Chris Wood at half-time worked a treat. If you had to pick a team who’ve exceeded expectations, you can’t look beyond them. Sean Dyche has done excellently on a very limited budget and they needed that win.

You’d expect Everton to go to Burnley and get something. Being in front, and with the money that they’ve spent makes it worse. Michael Keane was going back to his old side and with him, and their quality elsewhere, you’d expect them to see the game out.

Riyad Mahrez answered the speculation and everything that happened in the transfer window in exactly the way you’d want him to. He scored a wonderful free-kick, but I would have expected Leicester to win.

Eddie Howe’s doing a fantastic job there. They went through a spell where they struggled but he’s managed to pick them up. He’ll be disappointed, it was a poor situation - giving the free-kick away, and how the wall was set-up.

They’re down there for a reason. There wasn’t much in the game, but with Southampton at home you’d expect a little bit more. They need to win these kind of games, especially with three away in a row coming up.

Paul Lambert’s done okay there but have they got a good enough group of players to get out of it? They dug in and got a result on Saturday but they’ve got some tough games coming up. They’ve drawn too many games including this one.

What can I say about Carlos Carvalhal? He’s put a smile back on their faces, he’s been the inspiration. What a result it was against West Ham, he’s done extremely well and I think their momentum will keep them up.

They’ve got enough to keep them up but they’ve fallen away at a bad time, and they were poor. It’s a bad result but with the quality they’ve got they should be alright.

They’ve done extremely well and nicked that fourth spot. They’ve kept up their form from other competitions in the Premier League and Mauricio Pochettino can pick the right team for the right time.

They’re up and down. They’re one of the teams I thought would struggle, and they’ve done better than I expected, but the inexperience of not being in this league, they’ve got two home games coming up that can help after this. I can just see them getting beat at any time though, but losing at Spurs is no disgrace.

Watford dug in and got the result they needed and wanted. It wasn’t the prettiest performance but they got the job done and they’re looking good since Javi Gracia has come in.

After all the speculation about sorting themselves out, they needed to get something from the game but they didn’t. They weren’t as bad as they have been, but they need results.

They’re playing in a really fluent way at the moment. Klopp has got them playing in a real positive manner with the front three, and I think they’ve surprised people going up to second.

Rafa went there to try to defend, and try to get something from the game. Newcastle kept themselves in it, and look organised, but the quality came through from Liverpool.

They’ve never beaten Arsenal before but their performance was great, they deserved to win and they’re in good form at the moment. They’ve surprised a few people this season.

They just didn’t turn up in the first half, conceded two poor goals. They’re struggling and they won’t be getting in the top four, and the only way to save their season is by beating Milan now.

They dominated against Chelsea. They were exceptional, they understand everything they’re taught and they’re a very creative team - I hate to say it, but I love watching them play.

Chelsea tried to sit back and stop Man City without being too effective going forward. It was disappointing the way they played, they did it extremely well against Barcelona but it didn’t work for them at all.

Bertrand looks forward

Show/hide article…

Saints head to St James’s Park on Saturday on the back of a 0-0 home draw with Stoke City, as they take on a Magpies team that is only one point above them in the table.

After another stalemate at the weekend, Bertrand admitted that draws – Saints have had a league-high 13 of them this season – are not enough, and that they need to find victories quickly.

“You definitely need all the experience you can get and that’s what you need to draw on,” Bertrand told the Daily Echo after Saturday’s game with Stoke.

“Everyone needs to stand up, and you can’t do anything else but look forward because the table is still very tight.”

The left-back, who again captained the side at the weekend, added: “There are a lot of positives to take from how tight it is, so we just need to get the goals in and turn these goals into wins and it’s a completely different story.

“We need to get our wins, especially playing the teams close to us. Draws are just not good enough for us at the moment.”

Bertrand explained that Saints’ second-half performance against Stoke, when they put their opponents under some significant pressure, is what they need to take forward, and not that of the first half, when they struggled to create opportunities.

“We just applied more energy and just went up a notch in our intensity and we had them on the ropes, but we didn’t manage to score,” he said.

“It was a good way to finish. If you’re going to draw it is better to finish as the team in the ascendancy so we can take positive from that and move on.”

Loan Watch: Targett helps Fulham to another victory

Show/hide article…

Aleksandar Mitrovic took his personal tally to three goals in as many games as the west London club made it 10 wins in 13 games to leapfrog their hosts into fourth spot.

The on-loan Newcastle striker’s early effort was followed up by Ryan Sessegnon’s strike from an angle, before Tom Huddlestone gave Gary Rowett’s side hope.

Elsewhere in the Championship, Sam Gallagher played the full 90 minutes but could not help Birmingham City arrest a run of five consecutive Championship defeats.

Goals from Joe Lolley and Matty Cash secured a 2-1 success for Nottingham Forest, with Michael Morrison’s late header for the Blues proving little consolation.

It was to be Steve Cotterill’s last game in charge at St Andrew’s, with former Saints defender Garry Monk replacing him alongside a backroom staff which also includes James Beattie.

In Belgium, Jordy Clasie completed 68 minutes as Club Brugge emerged 2-1 winners over K.V. Kortrijk.

Goals from Abdoulay Diaby and Anthony Limbombe were punctuated by a Jovan Stojanović to ensure a home success.
