    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.

    Evra

    Ronaldo --- Fabregas ---- Bentley --- Young

    ----Torres -- Adebayor ----



    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: 12,911 ✭✭✭✭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.

    too early for this **** there is a quarter of the season left


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,322 ✭✭✭Mad_Max


    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


    Mr Alan just texted me. He hasn't got access to a computer so he asked me to put his one up for him. Here it is:

    Reina
    Arbeloa--Carra--Skrtle--Aurelio

    Masch--Alonso

    Kuyt
    Gerrard
    Babel

    Torres

    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.

    ----Dunne---Laursen--Lescott----
    ---Gerrard--Fabregas---Essien----
    Ronaldo
    Bentley

    GK: James

    RB: Sagna
    CB: Rio
    CB: Gallas
    LB: Evra

    RM: Ronaldo
    CM: Fabregas
    CM: Gerrard
    LM: Young

    St: Torres
    St: Adebayor

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