Just another day in the office for Al Ain. The top two are breaking away from the pack. |

This cracker from newcomer Kamis Esmael summed up the game against Emirates. |

Sums up their non-consitency. A needless red card, but fought hard to take the lead only to give it up. Coughed up points against teams that could potentially grant them three. |

Fifth shutout of the season and second against Al Wahda. That penalty saved the day for Al Shabab. |

We’re not super concerned about the result in Al Ain – it’s tough to play your game at Hazza Bin Zayed against a team that scores at will. |

Rightfully, jumped a few spots. Credit to Patrick Eze for his opportunism, and credit to Khaleil Saleem for preaching aggressive midfield play for a team that had never done so in the past. Perfect way to come out on the top in this 9-goal thriller. |

Their winless drought is now up to 270 minutes, does not make sense for a team with a talented squad like theirs. The look is there, but closing out the game isn’t. |

Power Rankings likes what it has seen from Dibba so far this season and a draw against a team like Baniyas is a good thing, if not a win. But that defense … things could have gotten horribly ugly. |

In theory they’re still in the race for the last AFC qualification spot, but have too much ground to make up mentally. |

Bad luck, bad football, bad season. No team in the league needs an influx of talented but affordable footballers more than Al Dhafra. |

Just not the same Al Jazira without Vucinic of last season , even with Kenwyne Jones on the side. Regardless, Al Jazira’s are still considered as a semi-respectable team. |

The fight to protect themselves from relegation is still on. Wanderley, in his current form, can only do so much. The rest need to step up. |

Eighth loss in a row. And to think about it, at one point, we had rated them highly a few months ago. |

Nothing can be done to save them from relegation. 3 points in 15 games since their journey began in the top flight. |

It’s going to be Al Ain that will walk away with the title this time around as well.
