Refusing to acknowledge that there may be some players playing well outside the top 4 teams like for example Given while there is a general consensus that Rooney is having a crap season by his standards.

**eirebhoy** · 17/01/2007, 10:58 AM

Jesus every single player plays for one of the top 4.

**NeilMcD** · 17/01/2007, 11:34 AM

Too many players playing out of position, Toure is a centre back and Lampard is never a left winger. Vidic is a better defender than Ferdianand also.No balance in the centre either with Gerrard and Scholes.

**NeilMcD** · 17/01/2007, 11:38 AM

Going on this season I would have it
Jaaskalinen

Finnan Vidic Toure Taylor

Gerrard Essien Scholes Ronaldo

Drogba Doyle

**drinkfeckarse** · 17/01/2007, 12:11 PM

Given

Finnan Carragher Terry Gallas

Ronaldo Gerrard Essien Giggs

Drogba Henry

Subs : Van Der Sar, Ben Haim, Vidic, Doyle, Scholes, Berbatov, Silva.

Based on form this season.

**NeilMcD** · 17/01/2007, 12:21 PM

Gallas and Henry and Given have missed large parts of the season through injury, surely that rules them out.

**BrayUnknowns** · 17/01/2007, 12:27 PM

Given

Ferdinand Vidic Terry

Essien

Ronaldo Scholes Lampard Giggs

Henry
Drogba

Subs: Van Der Sar, Ben Haim, Taylor, Doyle, Kanu

How Feo123 can put Schevckenko and Ballack in his list is beyond me......

I'm aware of that Neil but when they have been involved they've been pretty good as per usual.

**gustavo** · 17/01/2007, 1:05 PM

-------------Cech-----------
Neville----Terry---Toure--Cole
Ronaldo---Makelele---Gerrard--Giggs
------Henry---------Drogba----

**jebus** · 17/01/2007, 2:16 PM

Going with overall ability I'd go for

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

--G. Neville-----------Terry---------------Toure--------------------Gallas--

---Hleb---------------Fabregas------------Alonso------------------Giggs---

-------------------Henry------------------Shevchenko--------------------

Going on form David Bentley, Ronaldo, and Drogba would have to included somewhere, and I'd have to think about dropping Gallas due to long layoffs this season

**gustavo** · 17/01/2007, 3:11 PM

Do people really think that Gallas is a better left back than Ashley Cole?
Gallas is far better at centre back and Cole , odious ***** and all that he is , is still a fine left back

**dfx-** · 17/01/2007, 3:15 PM

I wouldn't. Riise, Heinze, Bridge, Queudrue are better.

I'd have Gallas as a centre-half though.

**drinkfeckarse** · 17/01/2007, 3:18 PM

Cashley has been average this season and that's what I based mine on.

Cole is one of the most overrated players in the game. He's a poor man's Terry Phelan. Lots of pace but not a lot else.

**tetsujin1979** · 17/01/2007, 4:43 PM

---------Jaaskelainen
Finnan--Dunne--Terry--Vidic
Ronaldo--Essien--Fabregas--Giggs
-------Drogba--McCarthy

Comparing him to Terry Phelan is overrating him, at least Phelan could defend occasionally, Cole is classic case of a quick player who hasn't had the need to develop any other facet of his game.

**endabob1** · 17/01/2007, 4:53 PM

Mine based on who I would want in my side (fully fit etc..)

Cech
Chimbonda
Terry
Hyppia
Taylor
Ronaldo
Essien
Gerrard
Robben
Henry
Rooney

Given
Drogba
King
Scholes
Giggs

**kingdom hoop** · 17/01/2007, 5:21 PM

i think ashley cole is having an awful season, his saving grace is touted as his pace but ive seen him outpaced on numerous occasions this season, i remember saying it in at least 5 matches..can only think of agbonlahor at the moment but i'm certain of it. i'd pick gallas ahead of him all the time, though matty taylor gets my vote on form, and probably ability too. funny how the thread starter entitled the topic 'your premiership 11 and then named 25 players!!

James; neville, toure, terry, taylor; lennon, essien, scholes, ronaldo; doyle, henry
