Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I thin Baba is hung up on conventional positions which we don't see for players such as Ronaldo i.e is he a winger? Rooney is he a striker? Where does Giggs play? Gerrard is he a attacking midfielder or a 2nd striker? Fair point. I just don't think Gerrard is a wide player. He played there for Liverpool the same reason Guthrie played there for us. Liverpool want to put their best players on the pitch, and they have a lack of good options besides. I don't think that is really a good position for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Given Sagna Vidic Terry Cole Essien Fabregas Gerrard Arshavin Modric Torres Sorry, just.... Of all the suggestions on here (Fellaini who's been a sub, Billy who's new to this league, Young who's been borderline s****) Modric's inclusion makes you laugh? Yes, because those other inclusions were as part of a team working as a team, and an alternative was suggested which included the best players possible. Modric in the same midfield as Fabregas, Gerrard, Arshavin and Essien? Really?....reeeaaally? I don't understand why you're saying tbh. Team working as a team? please elaborate... I was under the impression that this was a thread about the best Premiership X1 this season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that this was a thread about the best Premiership X1 this season? For example a midfield of Gerrard Lampard Essien Fabregas would perhaps not work very well together, but would be considered to consist of the best midfielders in the league. Whereas a midfield of something like Lennon Essien Lampard Arshavin doesn't nessessarily contain all of the best midfielders in the league, but would work better together because it consists of players that would complement each other.

Gash Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 That's why it is very difficult, if you want to play players who compliment each other or just the best 4 midfielders, the best 4 defenders etc I like trying to make them compliment each other!

Guest n4e Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Nah, he's not the best. Great shot stopper but not better than VDS or Reina. Better than Reina imo. Purely based on his ability to deal with crosses much more successfully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make more sense? I get what you're saying but Ashley Young has been pretty rubbish this season. It doesn't matter if his style of play suits a team more than Modric's if he's not playing well. His performances this season does not justify him being included in a Premiership X1. Same goes for Fellaini who hasn't even been a regular starter for Everton. Modric was our star performer this season before he got injured. It's no coincidence that out form dipped when he wasn't playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Modric is easily better than Young, it's not even up for debate. He's a cracking player. Whoever picked him is only getting grief because he plays for Tottingham. Yawn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Nah, its just because him being in the current premier league XI is laughable, nothing more.

A player playing very well for a team that was top of the league is laughable but including a player in the X1 that's been borderline s**** (didn't Brummie even admit on here that Youngs form has been poor) and another player that hasn't even properly established himself in his own teams first eleven is ok?

Young was a top player for at least a season, putting him in the team at the moment while he's been poor still makes more sense than putting an injured player who was a top player for 5 games. Boring debate tbh, neither Young nor Modric are good enough for the Premier League XI anyway imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Modric was one of the best players in the league at the start. Was making eighteen million pounds look like a bargain. Shame abhout his injury. It seemed he finally had adjusted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Modric is great, one of the best players in the league if you ask me. He is one of the few midfielders in the EPL that can really dictate the pace of his side and give a purpose to their attacking movements (Tottenham look like a headless chicken since he went down).
