An English XI based on club performances this season

----------------------- James

Neville -------- Ferdinand --- Woodgate ------- Baines

Lennon --------- Barton ------- Scholes ------- Bentley

------------------ Rooney ------ ??????


????? = Between Crouch, Defoe, Bent and Lita.

My XI:

---------------------- James

-- Neville -- Campbell -- Ferdinand -- Shorey

-- Lennon -- Scholes -- Huddlestone -- Taylor

--------------- Bentley -- Rooney

has Baines been better than Shorey?

EDIT: oh i see Cesc has included him.

Forgot Taylor.

Happens to the best of us.

He is a dead cert for me. He has been awesome at times.

------------------James------------------

---Ferdinand--Campbell--Woodgate---

Milner----Barton----Scholes----Bentley

-----------------Lampard----------------

------------Bent-----Rooney------------

no carragher

I have not been impressed by Barton or Huddlestone this season .

He's not been better than Ferdinand or Woodgate over the course of the season though?

I agree on Huddlestone. Barton's been very good though.

what makes you say this spank?

because he had one bad game against arsenal?

anyway was shocked you didn't include him as he should be one of the first names down.

would have to be Carrick in the centre for me no otherplayer that really warrants it and that would fit in

lots of players around the same level so it's hard to pick one. ie gerrard, carrick, flump, barton, flump has the most goals but you never see him during the games so pretty hard to pick him. carrick hasn't done anything to warrant it really. he is just benefiting from playing alongside ronaldo FC

Nolan

see now this is bollocks

I can't say that we have missed Scholes when he has been out through injury/suspension,

Infact Carrick has probrably had his best games and shown the type of player he could become

When Scholes and carrick play together its all about balance which is key to any midfield and despite people's pre season criticism its probrably the most balanced and harmoneous midfield in the premiership, (you never see them going for the same ball or taking up the same positions)

and this as well as Ronaldo being Ronaldo has got us to where we are this season

Good old Poiuy.

Falling for the windup


Never fails


carrick has been only slightly above average.

& yet still better than Alonso.

Parks lives wrote:Good old Poiuy.

it pisses me off when people go on about Carrick like he's some kind of average player

I think he's been a class act this season, with all the things he's added to his game

he's scored more then he's ever scored before and with the positions he's been taking up for second balls etc. he's been unlucky notto get more

yes in the same way rio has been better than carra


ie only in your own head

He's been excellent. It's just convientent considering his price tag for people with agendas to criticise him.

He's hasn't really been any better than he was at Spurs.

apat from he is playing a different role in a different team on the verge of a treble, playing the best football in europe?

Difficult to say. Because he's less likely to stand out than he did at Spurs and he's playing a different role.

he seems to be the 'sissoko' of this season ie the team he plays in's fans appreciate him much much more than everyone else.

Ive rarely came away from a game thinking 'wow he was amazing' but all united fans you come across love him.

he looks out of his depth in struggling teams ie england, man u in europe but great when united are battering the watfords of this world. I guess this is where both sides of the argument stem from

The team he's playing in is better than Spurs eh? No shit.

Yet he was MotM vs Chelsea and our best player against Arsenal at the Emirates.

I think the Sissoko of this season for Liverpool is Carragher.
