Jamie Redknapp's Weekend Watch: Nicolas Anelka is simply a class act
Saint Nic!He's not always been universally loved, but Nicolas Anelka is a class act - for a start, his work rate for the team is massively under-rated. The Chelsea striker is quick, scores goals and can play as a spearhead. Anyone miss Didier Drogba on Saturday?[LNB] Chelsea struggled more without Anelka when he was injured than without The Drog. They are back in the groove now.[LNB] Class act: Anelka rounds Marton Fulop to score against Sunderland on Saturday[LNB]Goodison SparkI've not seen a team working so hard for ages and I wrote last week that Phil Neville's return was influential for Everton. Tim Cahill and Marouane Fellaini have come back to life.[LNB]The Belgian was delightful and his quick feet to drag and turn against Craig Bellamy is worth replaying all week on Sky Sports News.[LNB]The Lost BoyThe problem with Robinho is that he has been here since September 2008, but we still don't know his best position. He was lost during his 51 minutes at Everton.[LNB]No player likes the humiliation of being a sub who is then substituted. Let's not forget he has so much talent, but unless he can look at Craig Bellamy and learn how to work for the team, he's no good to City.[LNB] Robinho: Substituted on Saturday[LNB]Good Buy!Not too many chairmen are spending money in this window. There is a lot of anxiety out there, so wise spending is the way forward, it seems.[LNB]Wigan - who pick players well - have made a clever purchase with the signing of Gary Caldwell from Celtic.[LNB]He loves defending and helped them to a clean sheet on Saturday. He'll help Titus Bramble with his concentration.[LNB]Forest FireNot since Brian Clough retired and Nottingham Forest were relegated in his final season have the club been in the top flight. Now they are 18 games undefeated and closing in on Newcastle.[LNB]The old boy will be looking down impressed; it's been a long retreat into the wilderness for a club that always played the right way under a special man who left a huge mark on the game.[LNB] Legend: The football world will never forget former Forest boss Brian Clough[LNB]Flying CanariesIn two matches this season involving Colchester and Norwich, Paul Lambert has won 12-1 on aggregate.[LNB]First he was manager of Colchester when they beat Norwich 7-1 and now he's at Norwich, who won the reverse fixture 5-0. It's a close battle at the top of League One, with Leeds, Norwich and Charlton leading the way.[LNB]A Villa killerSir Alex Ferguson has never really spent a lot during the January transfer window - a time that is always the most awkward to sign players.[LNB]But if the Glazers really wanted to show their commitment to the manager and to the club, they should give him the money to sign David Villa from Valencia.[LNB]Alongside Wayne Rooney, the Spanish goalscorer would blow a hole in the title race.[LNB] Black Cats humbled as Anelka and Lampard shineToffees' hard graft is a lesson for Roberto Mancini and CityHumiliated Robinho on his way out of Manchester City as Roberto Mancini gets tough[LNB] [LNB]
