Five talking points from Game week 9 in the Premier League

Liverpool and Tottenham continue their scintillating start, but in contrasting fashion

Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge

It was the Luis Suarez show against West Brom as the Uruguayan was at his clinical best as his hat-trick was enough to see off a West Brom side who came into the game, high on confidence after defeating Manchester United at Old Trafford just about a month ago. But at Anfield, there was no repeat of that performance as Luis Suarez stole the show by putting on a master class in finishing and helping Liverpool to their sixth win in nine games, which sees them sitting pretty on third place.

Just behind them, are Tottenham who managed to beat Hull City at home, but only just, thanks to a Soldado penalty in the 80th minute. After the game, Spurs were booed off the park by their fans and AVB went onto criticize the fans after the game for making it hard for the players in their own turf. But, the fact of the matter is that, with all the creativity at their disposal, Spurs should be winning games like these with consummate ease and not laboring to a 1-0 win thanks to a penalty. Although they are sitting pretty in fourth place, a lot of work has to be done, at least on the attacking front, if Spurs are to be considered legitimate contenders for the League title.
