Relegation candidates Best XI

We've had every conceivable Best 11, here's another one.
Form your best 11 from this season's relegation candidates. The group of relegation candidates is decided by me: Watford, Sheffield Utd, Charlton, Boro, and Man. City.



Ok fine, Newcastle too (for now).



Here's mine (quite tough to come up with a valid formation):

Given (although it's hard to ignore Carson and Foster)
Richards-Woodgate-Distin-Baines
Young-Parker-Barton-Downing
Bent-Martins?/Yakubu?

Edit: added Baines and Downing...surely something wrong with 3 Man. City defenders in there!!!

----------------Given-------------

---Richards--Woodgate--Taylor---

Milner--Parker--Barton--Downing(?)

----------------Dyer--------------

----------Bent---Martins----------

No left winger has impressed me this season. Has Downing been OK?

Needless to say i don't think we'll be in a "relegation batle" for long.

Agreed, borocooper just said Downing's been injured for a while, but I put him in there anyway (ahead of Dyer) because Dyer's only just returned.

Trabelsi...there's someone who's totally gone off the map. Does he play for Man. City nowadays?

Yeah he's been playing on the right ahead of Richards for the most part. Seems to be doing alright as far as attacking and dribbling is concerned but nothing spectacular.

You'd need to be a right cunt not to pick Ashley Young

Downing has been quality in ever game he's played...but he's been injured for the last few.

Didn't realise we were relegation candidates though.

The truth is it's a bit early to know who's going to be down there, the situation could change in a couple of games at the moment. We'll have a better idea come feburary.

You are, I decided that. And it's final
