    Add Alaba, Coentrao and Marcelo to that list.

    In defensive terms, I'd have Baines over Alaba and possibly Coentrao. He has an awful habit of making really, really stupid tackles.

    Really? Coentrao has proved himself in some really big games, alright Baines hasn't really had that opportunity but Baines lacks the pure pace to be a real top level full back imo. His great technique goes some way to making up for it obviously but compared to some of the other notable full backs he doesn't get up and down the line quickly enough imo.

    I'd have Coentrao over Marcelo and Alaba in that position.
    I guess the issue is more in where we rate Coentrao rather than where we rate Baines. I'd have Marcelo and Alaba over Coentrao. I think Coentrao's biggest strength lies in his versatility rather than being a master of his best position.

    Jordi Alba is streets ahead of Baines.

    Hard to tell when you are comparing clubs that retain 45% possession vs. 60%.

    Alba is not the best defensively and he's no form at set pieces.

    Its a joke of an award, and treated as such by many of the players voting. I remember hearing an ex Irish international (Kilbane I think) commenting on the radio how elhe used to pick Lee Carsley each year, and lads having competitions to see who could pick the ugliest team

    RVP winning it would hardly be a disgrace to be fair!

    It's a coin flip between Suarez and RVP for me with Mata and Carrick being not far off. Bale would be fifth for me. But that's just me.

    In the end, what I say doesn't matter as Bale will win surely.

    But thats your 2 team premier league tunnel vision kicking in: liverpool vs everyone else. Bale, RVP and mata certainly deserve a shout for this.
