You're joking, yes?


Also not sure Wilshere deserves to be there. He missed a good deal of the season with injury and has been a bit inconsistent while getting back to fitness. No doubt at full fitness he's a fantastic player but he simply hasn't been there for much of the season and it's affected his play a bit.

Is that Daniel Simpson?

If that's Ashley Williams you are talking about then NOOOO. Jonny Evans >>>>. Chico Flores may have only played 16 PL matches but he's still been much better than Williams.

And no MICHU anywhere in sight, even on the bench

I fully expect nearly every Liverpool supporter on here to claim Williams doesn't deserve to be there because it will support the claim that he's not good enough for Liverpool...

Chico was crap for the first 10 weeks to be fair. Swansea prior to CC final had THE BEST away defensive record in the league.

all fellaini does is score a few nice goals once in a while, he otherwise seems like a really average dm

Switch Nastasic with Williams and not a fan of the Midfield.

My team:


Bench: Mata, Gerrard, RvP, Vorm, Nas, Toure, Fellaini

Added Rooney over RvP in the initial starting XI as he's the most underrated player in the team. He's been key in United winning the league and Michu >> RvP.

I expect majority of people that watch the BPL on a regular basis to claim he doesn't deserve there to be either to be honest. Bar his attempt to kill RvP, he's done nothing special...

He's not a defensive midfielder though.............?

Fellaini is a good DM anyways, sure he's got more of an impact on the game when he plays higher up but he's a quality all round midfielder imo.

He's horrible as a DM...

Bench: Begovic, Vertonghen, Gibbs, Gerrard, Hazard, RvP, Michu.

I tried to include players from every team and not only the top 4 and I think I did well and imo it's the best first team this season.

man utds XI + bale

He is. He has poor awareness tactically and he is all over the pitch attempting to do a hollywood-esque action. He's a thug and uses his strength over others to his advantage and rarely gets called for it simply because it is natural that he would overpower other footballers. He can't play as a defensive midfielder just because he is tall and strong, because he has an attacking mentality.

Everton don't even use him as a defensive midfielder anymore.

Who the f*ck is that Simpson ?

i wouldn't say he's horrible as a DM. Maybe its not his strong suit. He played there a lot when he was younger and more raw. He better as a CM, slightly more attacking. Ive always liked him as a player and I feel like he's not good enough to be the star on a smaller team, but also too good to be a bench warmer on a bigger team.

anyhow, Sepi, I like your team the best so far. The no call on Michu is understandable as he hasn't been great in recent weeks as far as I have seen.

Also, why isn't Al Habsi in goal?

Daniel Simpson, statistically the best right back in 2012 as well.

Ffs he's f*cking crap if you wanted to pick a token nufc player there are many more deserving.

Although none of our players deserve mentioning tbh.

Al-Habsi doesn't deserve to be there to be honest. He had a good start, but his form since November has been average-bad.

He's now BENCHED by Martinez.

If you are not picking Mignolet/Begovic/De Gea ur doing it wrong tbh.

Took a couple of liberties with Cazorla CM and Suarez RAM/RW, but it was the only way I could think of to get those two into the team.

On a slightly-related note:

Remember when GL decided that Valencia was going to play fullback this season?

I was joking, as the last few weeks he's been woeful
