Foster is not better than Given.  Not yet, anyway.

 

Apart from Shot stopping (admittedly the most important part of a keepers game), Given struggles a lot.

 

Not vocal enough - doesn't command his box like Cech, Schmeichel etc

Poor kicker on his left foot

Shits himself when striker closes him down

Rarely comes for crosses

 

Still a very good keeper though

He was statistically the best right-back in the league by a long shot last year.

 

Is that statistically the best team from La Liga?

I doubt it.

To be fair to the lad, it's impossible to pick a realistic midfield, without fitting square pegs into round holes, just so you can accommodate Gerrard, Lampard, Essien, Fabregas, Parker, Scholes, Makelele and, and, and...

 

 

------------------------------------ Cech -----------------------------------

 

Finnan --------- Ferdinand ---------------- Terry ---------------- Evra

 

Ronaldo ---------- Gerrard ---------------- Essien ----------- Robben

 

--------------------- Drogba ---------------- Rooney ---------------------

 

? ???

 

Will undoubtedly have forgotten about ten top class players.

Essien would get in ahead of Lmapard every time

Essien as been incredible this season, like you said much better than Lamps.

i think he's vocal enough personally. Forster would get in based on comparing last seasons form alone though.

Vidic over Ferdinand?

 

Given over Cech?

 

Essien over Lampard?

 

:idiot2:

 

the first two I couldn't agree more with, Ferdinand and Cech need to be there

 

Essien however is twice the player Lampard is

Given the best keeper in the league?! mackems.gif

 

Whats funny??

 

Who is better??

 

Cech

Van Der Saar

Jussi

 

Given is an excellent shot stopper, probably the best in the league but overall he's nowhere near the level of someone like Cech.

 

VDS was utter, utter shit at the end of last season. Would be surprised if he's first choice next season.

Having a laugh? Given owns Jussi and he owns VDS.

Both the Neville brothers.

Eboue however.....

Finnan was statistically the highest-rated defender last season in the Actim statistics. He doesn't catch the eye, but is rock-solid week-in, week-out and very, very rarely makes a mistake. No great shakes as a wing-back, but an exceptional fullback.

 

I reckon if the Prem team lined up with Gerrard, Essien and Makelele or Mascherano in CM, the Spanish side would be overrun.

Yes both the chuckle brothers, despite being horrible bastards, they are both excellent full backs, good defenders and good offensively also.

 

Statistics suggest for the last two seasons Owen is a shit goalscorer, stats would also suggest Peter Crotch is one of Englands best ever strikers with his goals to games ratio,call me old fashioned but I prefer the old fashioned way of judging a player on his ability, daft I know in a time when most people on these forums judge players by youtube compliations or computer games.

I think a La Liga all star team would dominate the possession, in the same way we see more technically adept foreign international teams dominate England.

 

Especially with the midfields being proposed here for the Premiership all star side.

G. Nev is better than Finnan, but I'm not too sure about the other 3 you've listed. I think P. Nev mainly plays holding midfield for Everton now, I never really rated him that highly as a full back anyway. Chimbonda and Eboue are both very good, but I don't think they're consistant enough to be as good as Finnan yet.
