Premier League HOT or NOT: Ulloa, Hazard, Joselu, Walcott
What’s sexy, and what isn’t, in football this week…
HOT
Leonardo Ulloa
The Argentinian striker could not have failed to notice the implication in the widespread concern that Leicester’s championship challenge would be derailed by the absence of Jamie Vardy for a match or two. Namely, that Vardy’s replacement was such an underwhelming footballer he could single-handedly nullify the Foxes’ attacking threat. But as Claudio Ranieri insisted before the crucial match against Swansea - as he has done all season - this Leicester side exists as a glorious unit rather than a collection of individuals, so the absence of one player is not so important. And so it proved as Ulloa banged in a couple of goals in a 4-0 romp as if Vardy had never existed.
Eden Hazard
Scoring his first league goals of the season in Chelsea’s routine win at Bournemouth does not qualify the Belgian playmaker as “hot”. Rather, it merely reminds us how unbelievably ineffective he has been for the rest of the season. But what did earn Hazard some kudos was his post-match interview, in which he said he didn’t want Tottenham to win the league and was supporting Leicester - the suggestion being that he would be trying harder in next week’s game against Spurs than in the potential title-decider against the Foxes in May. Was this a moment of heartfelt honesty that will bring Hazard closer to the Chelsea fans, or just a flippant remark by a man who no longer cares? Either way, it was ridiculous behaviour, but also quite funny.
Jay Rodriguez
While it was Jack Wilshere’s 10-minute substitute appearance for Arsenal after a season on the sidelines that caught the headlines, there was another England footballer making a significant comeback this weekend. Rodriguez made his first start for seven months in Southampton’s win at Aston Villa, two years since he suffered the knee ligament injury that cruelly curtailed his rise to prominence. Unlike Wilshere, it won’t be enough to win him a place in Roy Hodgson’s Euro 2016 squad, but it was heart-warming to see the Premier League’s forgotten man reminding us of his talent. Even if it was against Villa.
NOT
Theo Walcott
If this season has been the low point of the winger-cum-striker-cum-perennial substitute’s career, then one moment in the goalless draw at Sunderland marked the nadir in Walcott’s 2015/16 campaign. Handed his standard 20-minute cameo from the bench to help Arsenal find a winner, Theo’s most telling contribution was to reinvent the term “bottling a challenge” when he hilariously leapt out of the way of a standard 50/50 with Younes Kaboul as if he feared the French defender was going to eat him. Which was obviously not going to happen, but if it had, Walcott would have definitely tasted like chicken.
Joselu
Stoke’s attacking prowess this season, such a contrast to the club’s dour image under Tony Pulis, has been rightly lauded. But as their promising campaign drastically peters out - the 4-0 defeat to Manchester City made it 12 conceded in the Potters’ last three matches - so the spotlight has switched to some of the negatives in Mark Hughes’ side. Aka: Joselu. It’s ironic that Stoke have dazzled going forward when the only striker they signed in the summer has been so profligate. The £5.5m frontman fluffed two glorious chances at City, the highlight both times being the shocked and angry reaction of Marko Arnautovic, who had twice set up his team-mate without reward.
Ashley Williams
If Leicester do end up winning the league, there will be no reporters queuing up to interview the Swansea captain about it because it doesn’t really have anything to do with him. But there’s no getting away from the fact that his contribution in the Swans’ defeat at the King Power Stadium swung the title pendulum resoundingly away from the clutches of Tottenham. The normally dependable centre-back sloppily conceded possession for Riyad Mahrez’s early goal, then completely lost Leo Ulloa at a set-piece to allow the Foxes to go 2-0 up and extinguish every drop of tension inside the ground. And he hasn’t even got Hazard’s excuse of being a Chelsea fan.
