    Haven't really thought about it but i don't think Gerrard has performed well enough this season to earn a place. Also a little surprised with Mellberg in there.

    I'll have to think about it and come up with mine.

    Have to agree, i went with Brown as he has been a permanent fixture in Uniteds defence this year, and they have the best defence in the league so thats why he's there.

    do you not think that team's a little too defensive?

    actually can i change again? good call on Brown. Melberg out, Brown in.

    Too defensive?


    Maybe the bench could be but tbh ive gone with the most effective players this season in their respective positions. Also "Team of the Season" doesnt mean u pick an 11 that compliment each other, u pick based on who has played best in that position during the season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,910 ✭✭✭✭whatawaster


    sorry, i was being sarcastic. It's actually a little too attacking for my liking. A little light in midfield. Certainly goals in the team though.

    Also, anyone thats left out Torres needs their head examined. First or second name on team sheet, with Ronaldo the other.

    United had a midfield of Ronaldo - Carrick - Scholes - Giggs last year and it worked fine in the league.


    i know what you're saying and if that was a problem id put Flamini in instead of Bentley

    Carrick sits deep though, and Scholes has tended towards this as his career has advanced also.

    Anyway, it's pointless arguing over potential weaknesses in the team. They are all good players and it's unlikely they'll ever play together.

    no-one else think cesc has been largely average for the last few months?? Has also been mentioned every other week by the pundits that he isnt playing all that well this year.

    Fabregas was fantastic at the start of the year, and has just been his same old self the rest. The difference? He was scoring goals at the start. People forget though, midfielders like that score spats of goals, not gona be scoring non-stop all year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead

    Laursen, Ronaldo, Torres, Adebayor and maybe Fabergas would be my definates

    This just gives an indication of numbers of outstanding performances based on the bonus points in the FF. Doesn't measure shíte performances and inconsistency though.

    I have more Man Utd and Arsenal players than any other team, which makes sense, but I couldn't fit any Chelsea players in.

    I had to go for a 3 man central midfield, because I think there have been some outstanding performers in here, Fabregas, Gerrard, Essien, Anderson, Flamini have all been something special.

    James
    --Sagna---Ferdinand---Gallas--Evra--
    -Bentley--Fabregas--Essien--Ronaldo-
    Gerrard

    Adebyour


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,480 ✭✭✭✭cson


    Gotta smile at Sagna in most peoples teams. Unreal the way the guy has just slotted in there at right back despite only coming in the summer.

    Anyways;
    GK: Cech
    LB: Clichy
    CB: Vidic
    CB: Gallas
    RB: Sagna
    LM: Young
    CM: Fabregas
    CM: Flamini
    RM: Ronaldo
    CF: Adebayor
    CF: Torres

    Guess who I support :p

    Certaintly not as biased as filling half your team with players from a team struggling to get to 4th

    VDS

    Sagna Laursen Ferdinand Clichy

    Gerrard Fabregas Flamini Ronaldo

    A lot of people have Essien in their team. Now don't get me wrong i idolise him as a midfielder but has he played enough to be in PL Team of the Season?

    He started off the campaign magnificently, picking up where he left off, but he must have only featured in half the games this season and I don't remember seeing him at all since he left for ANC at the turn of the year?

    Pighead, that post you put up about my team might well be the funnniest thing you've ever put up here! it actually made me LOL. good work.

    team for me......

    Reina

    Sagna

    --Gerrard

    Adebayour

    james.bentley.richards.tevez.Flamini.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    Essien hasn't played as much, but for me, when he plays, he's just so amazing that I can't help but put him in, and he's played 16 games, Masch (20 games), which isn't terrible :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish

    If I had wanted your opinion on my selection I would have given it to you. And all of this from a guy who put 6 players from the second best team in the premiership in his selection :rolleyes:

    Anything else or are you still having a moan because I banned you a couple of weeks ago ?

    Evra over Clichy? Lol not a hope. Anyway, no one keeper has stood out for me this season. Some have been good, i.e. VDS, Almunia, but none have really been great. VDS's defence have made him mlook good at times. So for that reason I'm gonna stick in young Joe Hart who has had a cracking debut year which will hopefully be topped off with a full cap.

    Hart

    Richards
    Laursen----Lescott
    Clichy

    Ronaldo
    Fabregas----Bentley
    Young

    Torres
    Adebayor

    Won't happen though as I've too many players from 'unfashionable/non-top four' sides.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    Better get your head down xavi, you have only put one Man U playerin the team and homerjay is off on one. So even though it is your opinion and it is as good as anybody elses on these boards, you should be ready for fireworks. ;)
