Mr. Snrub Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Boredom looms so what's your PL team of the season so far? For me.. Chesney Ivanovic Kompany Koscielny Azpilicueta Gerrard Toure Sturridge Hazard Suarez Aguero And a brucey bonus: who would you rather have in your side, Bale or Neymar?

Mr. Snrub Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Gerrard ahead of Ramsey? Not a chance. But for the last 2 months I'd agree entirely Ronny, but Gerrard has been a driving force for Pool and complete leader. Ramsey has faded when Arsenal needed him most.

ponsaelius Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 More or less agree with the team except Ramsey should be in there somewhere. I prefer Neymar but its a tough pick. Bale has probably been better this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 decided to limit myself to 2 per team max because why not, makes it a hell of a lot more difficult than it really should be. 4-2-3-1 Szczesny, Coleman, Mertesacker, Jagielka, Shaw, Fernandinho, Toure, Hazard, Oscar, Suarez, Sturridge. as for Bale or Neymar..........probably Bale but not much difference and you wouldn't complain with either of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'd have our starting XI we're 8th shit manager. As for Bale and Neymar, you might be astounded but I'd probably pick Bale if it was based on current form. I obviously think Neymar has a much higher upside, but Bale has adapted better to his team and can finish a ball from anywhere while Neymar seems frustratingly low on confidence for Barcelona.

The College Dropout Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Mertkesacker has been better than Koscielny. How many penalties has Koscielny given away this season? And last? He's still liable to get too tight, foul his man and get sent off. No way Mignolet is ahead of Chesney. I don't know how many points he's earned L'pool but I know he's cost them a fair few. Chesney Coleman Baines Hazard Toure Ramsey Suarez Sturridge Aguero These are all automatic for me. The rest? Fernandinho close to being automatic. At CB Terry's been pretty solid. Maybe Distin next to him? Overall: I think Bale is closer to playing at the very top end of his potential (last season that is) than Neymar but Neymar possibly has greater potential. Neither have been at their best this season but Bale has been better than Neymar so far. So i'll go Bale - for now. I think part of Bale settling in better has a lot to do with Ancelotti. Ancelotti is not really a system manager he's all about the players and getting the best out of them. He'll try his best to get his best players on the pitch and getting the most out of them. Madrid are playing a system designed to get the best out of their wide forwards - Bale/Jese and Cronaldo. Neymar has come to Barcelona and gone straight into the system. They've adapted the system to get the best out of Messi and to accommodate Fabregasd, from what i've seen they haven't done the same with Neymar. However, the outside controversy and moving continents is another reason why Neymar hasn't really hit the heights at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the outside controversy and moving continents is another reason why Neymar hasn't really hit the heights at all. Agree here. When it comes to CBs I find it hard to decide, I mean the big teams have conceded their fair share of goals this season and don't think any CB has stood out the way they had in previous years. Kompany has been excellent for many games but somehow he's not good enough to cover for his weaker CB partner (whoever that ends up being) and he gets caught because of that. As for Bale, I agree with you. Like you said, Real plays a more direct style which suits Bale and Cristiano so fantastically while Neymar played his best football this far when Messi was out and more went through him. I see what Neymar is able to do with a football for the national team and it's stuff I don't think Bale can come close to doing, but at the moment Bale is just much better adapted to Real and it's system and is playing better football. I do think Neymar made the right choice to go to Barcelona but I think his true potential will be shown when they accept that he's a direct player and Messi gets used to it. Messi sometimes just strolls a bit just looking at Neymar and not giving him an option, might be that he's cautious due to the injury but it's a shame.

Flip Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Cabaye should be on the bench I reckons. Definitely. Toure, Ramsey and Fernandinho have been the better CMs this season but Cabaye is for me top 5 without a shadow of a doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
