Poll: Best Defensive Midfielder in the PL?

[Biz.Kid09]

This poll is clearly wrong?

Yaya Toure is a defensive midfielder?

 

[Andybtsn]

Biz comes in and Barry gets a vote

Poll's most definitely wrong if Barry's got a vote.

Yes Fellaini is primarily a DM, but because Cahill is **** now, we only have one striker and Fellaini's chest control is out of this world Moyes pushes him further up.

And as Biz says Toure is technically a DM. De Jong should be added to the poll as well because he does exactly what a DM is supposed to do and probably the best in the league at that.

Hang on Biz weren't you saying for years that Barry, Toure and De Jong weren't all defensive players?

Alas when your DM is pushed further forward at the expense of one of your strikers I think it's a disservice to pigeon hole him as a DM so he's coming in a later poll

 

[Andybtsn]

I think Biz is being sarcastic

If he was then that's brilliant for him

 

[Purdy]

Jesus, a lot of people never seen Lucas.

 

[Shamikebab]

I went with Lucas, nice to see all the votes for United's DM....oh wait

 

[bobo696]

Lucas is amazing, such a shame he got injured !!!

 

[Leeroy123]

Wouldnt say Lucas was the best, prob parker out of those

 

[DB_SamX]

Isn't Y Toure a DM?

 

[Leeroy123]

He is yeah but plays attacking mid too. If he would have been on there yeah ofcourse hes the best, prob in the top 5 in europe.

 

[Miguél]

Lucas best defensive midfielder? Shows how poor the premier league's defensive midfielders are.

I went with Parker from the list. Would have picked De Jong if he was there.

 

[Robbo]

None of them are particularly great really, I'm not sure who to vote for...

I do like Mikel though, he gets a lot of stick from people in general but he does his job fairly well.

 

[Caseh]

I went with Song, but I don't think he's like a typical DM - He's more a combative midfielder IMO.

 

[HangTime]

Would have picked De Jong if he was there.

That's what the "Other" option is for

 

[JDeeLFC]

Without a shadow of a doubt its Lucas. His first 2 seasons at Anfield were poor but it just goes to show what trust and confidence from a manager can do.

Watch him run the show for Brazil and it will just reinforce it.

 

[JDeeLFC]

Oh and if you want the best def midfielder ever then that it Makelele.

Not a chance. Vieira was miles better.
