Posted August 14, 200816 yr I was talking with an Arsenal fan today and he thinks Arsenal have the best starting XI in the EPL if they stay healthy. I had to laugh. But made me wonder who do you guys feel are the best starting 11 in the EPL? Mine: GK: Cech - Yeah, he's looked a bit shakey of late, but there's still no one I'd rather have back there. RB: Bosingwa - I've really been impressed with this guy during the Euro. CD: Terry - Captain Britain CD: Ferdinand - It's a tough choice, of course Carvalho is super, Vidic was good too. LB: Ashley Cole - Best left back in the EPL MF:C. Ronaldo - Best player in the world MF: Gerrard MF: Essien MF: Lampard - No clear favorite. Why not the most solid performer in the EPL over the last 5 years? FW: Torres FW:??? Rooney??? Edited August 14, 200816 yr by ChelseaYankee
August 14, 200816 yr GK: Van der Saar/Cech (Not sure) RB: Carragher CB: Terry CB: Vidic LB: Evra LM/W: Deco CM: Lampard CM: Essien RM/W: C. Ronaldo F: Drogba F: Keane
August 14, 200816 yr 4-4-2: Cech Sagna Terry Ferdinand Evra Gerrard Lamps Ronaldo Pedersen Drogba Torres
August 14, 200816 yr Van Der Sar Sagna Terry Ferdinand A.Cole Gerrard Lamps Ronaldo Essien Rooney Torres
August 14, 200816 yr Got to be honest, but for me the CB pairing on CURRENT form would be Ferdinand (and I can't stand him as a person) and Riccy. JT will be back to his best this season, of that I am confident, but at the moment, Rio is playing better than him, as is Vidic probably. Ditto with Petr. Best in the world when on form, for sure, but based on recent form, Van Der Sar and possibly even Reina (who I f**King hate) might be considered the 'better' choice at the moment. Gerrard, however, would get nowhere near my team. Twat.

Twat. spot on both, err, all three points My team on last seasons form: Van der Saar RB: Carjacker CB: Riccy CB: Ferdinand LB: Evra CM: Fabregas CM: Essien RM: Ronaldo LM: Joe Cole FW: Adebayor FW: Torres of the "big four" I would say Arsenal actually have the weakest side overall.
August 15, 200816 yr Not seen enough of Bosingwa to put him into the team, so: Van Der Saar (sorry, but Cech's cross handling, and Penalties leave a lot to be desired lately) Carjacker Riccy Vidic Cole Ronaldo Ballack Essien Fabgregas Torres Drogba Drogba solely on there for when he is on form. Otherwise, it'd probably be Adebayor Scott
