    1. Almunia
    2. Sanga
    3. Clichy
    4. Ferdinand
    5. Vidic
    7. Ronaldo
    8. Fabregas
    6. Elano
    11. Martin Petrov
    9. Torres
    10. Adebayor

    Martin Petrov is a sensation in my opinion and him and Ronaldo on the flanks would be devastating. Gerrard and Elano was the only debate i had, i went for Elano because of his sheer Brazilian brilliance but it was really 50/50.

    Good selection.

    But Elano is too inconsistent IMO

    Possibly Reina for James.
    Maybe Evra for Clichy.

    I had to include him. He has been my standout player in the EPL this season, I just love the guy and his attitude, work ethic, skill and potential.

    eh?

    didnt think potential would be a factor for team of the season.

    Gerrard has to be in any team imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,056 ✭✭✭applehunter


    Potential is a factor in every Liverpool signing for the last 15 years.

    Cheap scousers

    seriously-wat are you talking about?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    Mr.Alan please stop forcing Gerrard on people's teams lol, this is people's opinions. and Tusky honestly i didnt know Gerrard's stats were so good, infact for some reason he seems quiter than usual but his stats say different, plus Elano was injured during the peak of his form and was out for some time. Im giving him the nod for his flair.

    Is there a statistical team of the season from opta-index or something could it would be interesting to see.

    VDS

    Ferdinand---Laursen---Dunne

    Flamini
    Ronaldo---Fabregas---Petrov
    Gerrard

    Keane---Anelka


    Haven't been overly impressed with any right-back and couldn't leave out any of the 3 defenders I have, so I went with the dreaded 3-5-2!...if I was including a left back Evra would just pip Clichy.
    By the end of the season I'd envisage I'd replace Flamini with Anderson because I think he's better but hasn't played enough to merit a place - Flamini has been great in all Arsenals games to be fair to him.

    Hunt and Arteta just miss out in midfield and Torres up front.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    Van Der Sar? Hes been very shakey and injury prone this season. Great Midfield though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    I'll force Gerrard on all the teams i want!

    if only i had the power to edit other peoples posts! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    then something tells me my team of the season would look like:

    1. Reina
    2. Carragher
    3. Carragher
    4. Carragher
    5. Carragher
    6. Gerrard
    7. Gerrard
    8. Gerrard
    9. Gerrard
    10. Torres
    11. Torres


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    that would be the best team ever ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    Actually it would be pretty good.

    Lets see Rafa rotate that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    have ya not heard?

    ferguson is the new rotation master! ;)

    A bit weak on the left wing IMO. Replace Gerrard #4 with Stephen Hunt and you're golden!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    Des ..... is that you?! ;)

    Ye, suffered a blip of late but for me he was the best keeper from August through to November. Honestly though there has been no outstanding keeper this season. All of them have made errors and what not.
