Best XI in the PL?

[Tom84]

I think it's probably fair to say that the polls are about as final as they're going to be so these are the XI players you lot chose as the best in their respective position (bar Vidic and Valencia)

--------------Hart--------------
Ivanovic--Vidic--Kompany--Cole
--------------Parker--------------
-------Y.Toure-----Silva-------
Valencia------RVP----------Bale

Went with 4-3-3 as the formation in the end simply as Valencia has twice as many votes as 2nd highest striker and a ton more votes than any of the 2nd highest midfielders.

In total there was 4 players from City, 2 from Chelsea, 2 from Spurs, 1 from Arsenal and 2 from Man Utd again simply on account of them coming second with the most votes in their respective polls.

So I guess it's over to you guys to discuss whether you're happy with the team, who you think doesn't deserve to be there, who you voted for in each poll, how you'd line up the above etc etc.

vidic over terry is debatable as vidic was out for most of the season.

Terry? Seriously? Not saying Vidic deserves to be in there (I won't comment on that) but Terry? Seriously?

 

[Tom84]

he was 3rd in the poll?

Oh I see, I thought you were rating him on ability

 

[Tom84]

his ability as one of the best cb's the pl has ever seen is (or should be) clear for all to see?
as was rio ferdinand

You see I disagree, I've never rated Terry, not even when he was at his so called best when Jose was in charge.

 

[Tom84]

Presumably if Kompany did his cruciate tomorrow, those who are saying Vidic shouldn't be included in this team would say the same about him (or any other player for that matter)?

 

[Tom84]

Would question vidic, Valencia and Parker but not bad.

Out of interest then why would you question Valencia and Parker? Is it their ability? They dont suite the formation?

I assume like CM you're questioning Vidic because of the injury? If so again if Kompany broke his leg tomorrow would you then question his inclusion?
