Youve got a team thats slow at the back and cant pass.

And its finishing ability is debatable.

Liverpool fan yes?

applehunter · 31-12-2007 03:08AM

former Liverpool fan.

Now just objective observer.

Necronomicon · 31-12-2007 03:15AM

Too many tough calls, so I made two teams:

James

Laursen
Ferdinand
Gallas
Clichy

Ronaldo
Fabregas
Gerrard
Petrov

Torres
Santa Cruz

Green

Sagna
Vidic
Distin
Evra

Bentley
Elano
Flamini
Young

Adebayor
Keane

Mr Alan · 31-12-2007 03:16AM

So Carragher is slow? Gerrard cant pass and Torres cant finish?

Not sure wats objective about that tbh mate

Santa Cruz

Mr Alan · 31-12-2007 04:58AM

how would that midfield lineup DSB?

DSB · 31-12-2007 05:04AM

It probably wouldn't work tactically really. I just didn't think any striker bar Santa Cruz really deserved a place. If I was to make a more tactically considered team the midfield would probably be

Young Flamini Fabregas Ronaldo

Gerrard

Santa Cruz

Mr Alan · 31-12-2007 05:07AM

Torres?Keane?Adebayour?Anelka?

I'd have all them on level pegging if not higher than Santa Cruz tbh!

DSB · 31-12-2007 05:22AM

Still undecided about Torres, Keane is the product of a team who attack so much to try cover up the fact that they can't defend (don't actually think he is any good at all), Adebayor maybe actually, Anelka has been pretty good and scored alot of goals but again undecided. All pretty good players (except Keane) but not sure if any of them have been Team Of The Year quality except for maybe Adebayor.

I like Santa Cruz because he has scored alot of goals in a team that aren't particularly attacking and on plenty of occasions he has been up front on his own. Like his attitude too.

Mr Alan · 31-12-2007 05:24AM

fair enough.

maybe being a little harsh on Keane, but havent been overly "keen" on him myself over the years (see wat i did there?!:)), have to admit though, my opinion of him is changing by the week. just wont stop scoring.

DSB · 31-12-2007 05:30AM

Has to be put into perspective with the sort of football the team are playing though. 6-4 isn't a result a manager should be pleased with in my opinion. 3 points yeah but perform like that against a team that can defend and you'll be ripped apart. Put anyone half decent up front in that team and they'll be scoring for fun. Keane is shown up as the player he is when he has to play with less impressive service.

Mr Alan · 31-12-2007 05:31AM

fair enough.

and Torres is the real deal by the way.

DSB · 31-12-2007 05:33AM

We'll see. Has shown plenty of potential to be top class but only in patches.

Mr Alan · 31-12-2007 05:37AM

well if he plays "in patches" like he has thus far, he'll be on about 30 goals for the season in his first year

That'll do me.

Going to bed to listen to Pneumonia by Whiskeytown. Goodnight!

Mr.Nice Guy · 31-12-2007 05:47AM

Dunne had Torres in his pocket. He's yet to prove himself in my opinion. My team would be thus...

(G) James
(D) Evra
(D) Dunne
(D) Ferdinand
(D) Sagna

(M) Ronaldo
(M) Fabregas
(M) Gerrard
(M) Petrov

(F) Keane
(F) Santa Cruz

GK. Reina

RB. Sagna
LB. Evra
CH. Dunne
CH. Carragher

RW. Ronaldo
LW. Bentley
CM. Fabregas
CM. Gerrard

ST. Torres
ST. Anelka/Santa Cruz

soupie · 31-12-2007 12:48PM

For me:

James

Sagna, Gallas, Dunne, Evra

Ronaldo, Cesc, Hleb, Petrov

Keane, Torres

I dont think any keeper has really stood out and strangely enough I dont see any Chelsea players, Drogba only for he was out too much.

As for Keane playing for an attacking team, that certainly doesnt explain his goal tally, Rooney, Torres play for more attacking teams he is simply on fire this year, infact for most of 2007. Some of his goals this season and last season have been top draw. Shame he couldnt bring it to international level

Can't see what Carragher has done to merit his place tbh.

PHB · 31-12-2007 04:03PM

GK - Can't really decide. James I guess. Don't see what Reina has done compared to VDS really.

LB - Evra or Clichy. I'd go with Evra personally
CB - Gallas without a doubt has been amazing
CB - Ferdinand without a doubt has been amazing
RB - Sagna

I honestly can't see how people wouldn't pick Ferdinand and Gallas, I really can't understand it

RW - Ronaldo
LW - Petrov

obviously

CM - Fabregas
CM - Gerrard

Special note must go out to Anderson who has been immense, would certainly be my 3rd choice

ST - Abedyour
ST - Keane

Can't say I think Torres deserves a spot ahead of these two. Maybe if it was in all comps, but in terms of the league, these two have been immense.

Told yiz.

And no-one can argue with the mod

Mr Alan · 31-12-2007 04:47PM

i want to argue. But not sure its worth the hassel ...... or the ban tbh!

redzerdrog · 31-12-2007 06:57PM

arbeloa----gallas----dunne---evra

cson · 31-12-2007 06:59PM

Arbeloa?

PHB · 31-12-2007 07:00PM

In all fairness, Arbeloa was immense at the start of the season for Liverpool.

Mr Alan · 31-12-2007 07:00PM

He has been excellent. But most of the season he has been at LB i think.

Think i'd give the nod to Sagna

redzerdrog · 31-12-2007 07:02PM

no right backs have really stood out to me and he has been brilliant when he has played there

Team of the season so far
