Soldato
So it has been done in the press etc but I thought we could each do our own OcUK team of the year. Pick your team, justify each player. Simple.
Reina
Chimbonda Carragher Terry G.Neville
Ronaldo Lampard Gerrard Gamst-Pedersen
Rooney Henry
Reina- First season in the prem and it is no coincidence that Liverpool equaled their clean sheets record with this lad in goal. Dominates the box, great shot stopper and slapped Arjen Robben. The last is reason enough to go in any team of the year. Joking aside, he is a great goalkeeper and only young.
Chimbonda- Another debutante who has scored goals, created goals and defended solidly. No wonder some of the top clubs are chasing his signature after his ill-timed transfer request.
Carragher- Just does not put a foot wrong in defence. Only way for him to improve his game is to start scoring goals like my next pick. Totally consistant week in week out.
Terry- Best defender in the league and future England captain. I would give him the captaincy ahead of the World cup to take the pressure off Beckham. Another great season for Chelsea.
Gary Neville- As a Liverpool supporter it pains me to pick him, but yet again he has had a solid season. Dependable to the end and not shy of getting forward.
Ronaldo- A tricky character who can turn a game on its head. Had a lot to deal with this year with the loss of his father and criminal allegations yet overcame them both to have another good season. You would always rather he was in your side
Lampard- Some say he flatters to decieve and Makalele makes him the player he is. I say he is one of the best midfielders in the world. Only surpassed by my next pick
Gerrard- This boy could play anywhere on the park and be outstanding. Top scorer for Liverpool this year and has played right wing, centre mid, 2nd striker and even at right back. The complete player and a deserved player of the year
Gamst-Pedersen- Another unknown who has proved trouble to the best defences. Great striker of the ball with bags of pace. A winger in the old mold.
Rooney- Need I say a word?
Henry- Ditto.
