Five things we learned from the Premier League this weekend | Jacob Steinberg, Tom Bryant and Evan Fanning

Stewart Downing is a failure, while Andre Villas-Boas, Mick McCarthy and Alex McLeish is looking over their shoulders

1) Downing: a waste of money

Manchester United and Liverpool both raised eyebrows to lose the wing of Aston Villa last summer. Ashley Young started his life in the United States promising enough before the loss of form and reduce the damage of your progress at Old Trafford against Chelsea last week was probably the worst player on the field and there was no place for him in the team against Liverpool on Saturday. With Antonio Valencia cement its status as top scorer in England and Ryan Giggs continues to ignore time and logic, is a luxury that America can not afford -. Unlike Liverpool

Liverpool has its fair share of baffling decisions in recent weeks and months, but spending 20 million pounds to bring Stewart Downing to Anfield should certainly be considered a big mistake in the transfer Kenny Dalglish market. Some point to the books on 35m Andy Carroll, others to 16 million pounds of Jordan Henderson, however, are young and when they were almost certainly too expensive - Liverpool is undergoing tax in English - who have been purchased not only by what they can do, but what they can offer to the club in the future. Although Carroll hardly deserves to be the eighth most expensive player of all time and almost certainly never justify the price, remember that panic spread through the defenses of the opposition when he was at Newcastle United Liverpool means can not give up yet.

This argument can not be used to Downing. We know what to do since 2003. Many executives saw and ruled without feeling that there is a hole in the form of Downing, meanwhile, which is why no big club movement was bothering him before last summer. It belongs to Liverpool, which is a mid-table player and his constant presence in the England team says more about the state of them that what he does. No change of pace, without artifice or bending for racing fans on their feet and this season, no goals or assists in the league: to put it bluntly, this is the type of business that loses its Director work

The largest load that could face Downing display against United was in a game where Liverpool could not carry passengers hiding. When Rafael da Silva hit, earning a booking in the first half, said he was in, like when Craig Bellamy, who should have started instead replaced him after 61 minutes of ineptitude. When Rafael Benitez was in charge of Liverpool, lack of money thwarted his attempts to sign a top class striker. Dalglish took the money. Downing bought.

2) Villas-Boas is running out of time

Accounts Chelsea revealed last week that costs £ 28m to replace the double winner, Carlo Ancelotti, with Andre Villas-Boas. This cost could be higher if the new manager can not take the club back in the top four places to ensure Champions League.

sad to Chelsea has 17 points from the top of the table in the fifth. In case of Villas-Boas did not stop the decline of his team, a season in League Europe alone has cost the club in terms of income, but it could also mean a higher payment Villas-Boas flew through the door output, with his pockets full of the inevitable pay-off will be their reward for failure.

his arrival, he was charged with rebuilding the club. However, it is difficult to see how he slept with young talent. Last week, the suspension of Ashley Cole presented the opportunity to play Ryan Bertrand on the left side, but took Jose Bosingwa, who is hard enough on the right side. He sent the promising Josh McEachran on loan at Swansea City, and insists on playing on the wing Daniel Sturridge, despite Fernando Torres in front of goal difficulty. Remained the center of the defense of England Gary Cahill on the bench despite the hilarity continues the procedure of David Luiz in the back.

addition to Manchester United game last week, it was a time when Chelsea played the opposition supposedly weaker: Wolverhampton Wanderers, Sunderland, Norwich City, Swansea City, then, after United, Everton. They won two convincing wins against these two have had a chance to shoot against the next two years, threw a three-goal lead against Manchester United, then lost to Everton. Not bode well for the close of the season in which theywill play Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, Arsenal and Liverpool in a month and a half.

3) Saha is a great signing

At the trial of Harry Redknapp, he jokingly said that the signing of Saha in January was part of an insanity defense, but anyone who has seen the attacker in his first was known to be a clever gesture Redknapp, although people who have seen the French at its best should have a good memory. Those who do remember that the best football of Manchester United played in the last decade was during the first half of the 2006-07 season, when Saha was associated with Wayne Rooney in attack, or that s' is broken into pieces during his time at Chelsea Everton.
There is little risk associated with this company. In case of injury, the Spurs have enough to attack to get by without it, before saying goodbye to summer. If he stays fit, have a player whose presence seems to have shaken Emmanuel Adebayor in action, the Togo striker managed to break the routine by setting up four goals in the first half against Newcastle, including two of Saha whose keen, instinctive finishes Redknapp delighted with the touchline. For much of the season, Adebayor has played as a lone striker, a role that is physically beyond Jermain Defoe. Adebayor absence of injured Spurs lose to Manchester City. Saha, happy on their own or with a partner, you can solve this problem.

The dealer Redknapp could not resist this opportunity. He always wanted to take a punt on the stars apparently washed up old to squeeze the last drop of talent. West Ham United, for example, who had Ian Wright, Stuart Pearce and Nigel Winterburn, while Teddy Sheringham, Paul Merson and Robert Prosinecki joined him at Portsmouth. This is another game that seems to pay.
