-----------------De Gea Zabaleta----Ferdinand----Vertonghen----Baines Mata--------Carrick-----Bale-------Hazard ----------------RVP-----Suarez Right, where do we start with that ****. Starting in goal, Hart will win the golden glove so obviously is absent so an average keeper can take his place. Hart, Cech, Reina and Begovic all with better stats than De Gea. Ferdinand, well says it all really. Zabaleta and Baines have been good and Vertonghen has impressed. Mata has been outstanding as has Bale. Hazard though? Maybe they were running out of names. No Michu?!?!?! haha, yet Mr Carrick gets in. Henderson has had a better season than him. Can't complain up top though.
De Gea's selection is shocking, he has been most improved but not the best by a fair bit, Cech has been brilliant. Ferdy too is shocking. Hart won the GG but I don't think he's been the best keeper anyway, Cech for me No Michu and Hazard in there shocking also, cant comment on Mr play it safe Carrick though his primary weakness was shown again today, can't play when pressed. Can't argue with the others though, Baines is always good and Vertonghen has been very impressive, ditto matta bale and up top
I'm really struggling with Ferdinand, how many games has he actually played this season? And Man U have hardly been the best defensively this year, this also combines with the fact that De Gea has been nowhere near the best GK. Hazard, for his price tag and reputation he came with I would have expected more. Carrick is the current media favourite, so that explains why he's on the list and in the team. Michu, interesting one. He was excellent up until the League Cup final, since however (as with Swansea) he's fallen off. But purely on that first 3/4 of the season he deserves to be in.
I wouldn't have Dea Gea as first choice, probably would pick Cech or Mignolet but Dea Gea has been very good and he has won something so not completely outrageous! Rest seem pretty bang on, maybe Michu in the place of Hazard but rest correct.
To be fair Carrick has had a very good year. Ferdinand and De Gea are probably in because their team won the league and the PFA wanted a United presence. Johnson and Gerrard deserve to be in that line up. Walcott to. But competition is high so players have to miss out.
Hart and Michu instead De Gea and Hazard. Although I'm not sure about Rio being in there, I've not got much complaint with the rest but a worthy mention for Cazorla
Disagree with you about Hart being in there, Gerrez. He's had a poor season by his standards, De Gea is a fair enough choice as there's no other obvious candidate out there. Ferdinand? Not been outstanding and his lack of pace has been exposed a few times, notably by Bale & Jarvis, but how many other centre backs have stood out? Nastastic has been reliable and David Luiz has been good at times but has also had a couple of poor moments. So I can understand why they've gone for him.
Cleans sheets dont mean ****, which is why I said Cech instead of Hart. Clean sheet means the team didnt concede it doesnt mean the keeper did this or that, you can have a clean sheet where the keeper has had to do **** all
Mignolet Zabaleta Nastasic Vertongen Baines Mata Diame Cazorla Bale RVP Suarez That would be mine. Sort of surprised Bale won it as I would have put him behind RVP and Suarez but then he's got the British advantage so guess that counts in his favour, despite the fact that it was only really after Christmas that he really started to excel.
As I said in my original post up above, De Gea most improved this season but yeah, Cech was been very consistent and is accomplished in all things goal keeping. De Gea is still learning in some aspects but is a very good keeper
