Poll: Best Defensive Midfielder in the PL?

[Tom84]

As expected this thread isn't generating much discussion so I'll be starting the centre-mid poll soon, the question I have though is do I include Lampard and Gerrard in it? Personally I'm thinking of including Lampard but saving Gerrard for the CAM poll which will follow. What do you guys think?

 

[Purdy]

Neither deserve to win either and shouldn't so doesnt really matter

 

[Tom84]

Yeah I know that but if I dont ask the question I'll get the moaners moaning

I'm going to abstain from this one, it'd be like choosing whether I'd prefer to contract AIDS or neurosyphilis.

Gerrard's played most of the past 2 seasons as a CM rather than an attacking midfielder/off the front so I'd include him in the CM poll.

Can't you choose both?

What formation are you going for here? I was thinking 4-4-2 diamond with this thread but now your talking about CM and ACM as well as DM. 4-5-1??

What formation are you going for here?

it'll be this

valencia - modric - parker - bale

 

[Dark Kyon]

Scott Parker. He's determination and commitment is amazon at times.

 

[RuMp3l4$k1n]

Voted other, Carrick.

Distributes the ball better than the guys on the list once he has it. Wins the ball just as much in general.

Can't wait to have Lucas back, will be like a new signing.

Well the current best PL team would have to be used in the same formation as the team which won it. (Mancinis 4-2-3-1)

------------------------ van Persie ------------------------
----- Silva --------------- Rooney ----------- Valencia -----
------------------- Yaya Toure --- Parker ------------------
---- Baines ----- Kompany ----------- Distin ----- Walker ---
--------------------------- Hart -----------------------

 

[Gilly]

Tiote. The barcodes have a brilliant first XI at the moment.

 

[whiteagleuk]

Even though im a red through and through i just think parker takes it for me as he works his backside off all over the midfield and therefore helps van der vaart have that attacking role

Put Aguero in instead of Rooney, or Mata. Rooney is useless lately. Probably Skrtel for Distin aswell.

Skrtel is awful, he has a good game now and then and everyone raves over him.

I've only ever seen Distin have a bad game for us lot once.

 

[Purdy]

Crikey you do talk some absolute garbage lmao

This has to be a wind up. Skrtel's so much better than Distin that's it's laughable to even compare the 2.

As for Distin only have one bad game, you clearly don't watch much of him. He was useless and at fault for goals in all 3 Derby's this season.

 

[Robbo]

Has someone really put Distin - a defender who is average at best - in the Premier League team of the season?
