Distin is by and large very good, if you only watch some games all players have bad games, bar no one in the league. Distin has been absolutely excellent most of his time in this league. is he the best around, who knows, everyone over rates their own defenders, I've seen smeg all in Skrtel's time in the league that suggests he's good, and beyond Liverpool fans I never see anyone rate him. Too many people rate Vidic because he wins titles, when a guy resorts to rugby tackles FREQUENTLY, he isn't doing particularly well, also when he constantly fouls in the box and gets away with it.
Distin would get rated FAR higher if he played for a top 4 side, and he's definitely better than the likes of Evans, Mertesacker, probably Alex(no longer at Chelsea but meh).
Same goes for Lucas, no where near as good as Liverpool fans think(wait's for the "but you don't watch him so you wouldn't know", no, he's just not that good, its simply SO **** for years season that marginal improvement and fans go overboard, Song, Denilson, Evans, Fletcher, Carrick, etc, etc). Song is third on the list and hasn't played in the DM role as first team for Arsenal for 2 years, and before that he was horrendous at it..... FACT Arteta played deeper than Song every game he played with Song this year, fact, we didn't win a game without Arteta till the last game of the season with the vast majority of those fairly few games Song filling in at DM and being abysmal, year before it was Wilshire.
Parker/Tiote are the only options for this season, anyone who voted otherwise are mental, Tiote had the better season, Parker was better last year, both are excellent and neither are remotely as limited as some like to say "parker never goes forward and can't pass", if you said anything along those lines, you haven't watched him play.
