David Marshall (GK) Joel Ward (RB) Winston Reid (CB) Curtis Davies (CB) Ben Davies (LB) Ashkan Dejagah (RW) Tom Huddlestone (CM) Charlie Adam (CM) Jason Puncheon (LW) Wilfried Bony (ST) Christian Benteke (ST) http://www.ftbpro.com/posts/daniel.gadsden/904919/bottom-half-premier-league-team-of-the-year It's not a bad team, though I'm not an Adam fan.
Adam's the sort of player you want when we need to break play up, give away a few niggly fouls, etc. when we play teams that out-pass us. We can be naïve at times in this respect......
Shelvey's had a very disappointing winter/spring after a good start to the season (notwithstanding that goal). Adam is disqualified as he plays for a top half team. (And is a thug.) I rate Mulumbu at WBA. I feel Benteke hasn't done enough to deserve inclusion this season, although there's no one else really pushing for that place alongside Bony. Other than that, it looks OK (I haven't seen enough of Winston Reid this season to make a judgement, but both Dann and Delaney have had good seasons and deserve a mention).
I think McGregor is better than Marshall. Marshall's a good goalkeeper but not that good. Maybe I'm biased.
Delaney has made a few cock-up's this season, I think he's lucky to be playing in a Premier League team, never mind anywhere near this list.
Palace fans have been full of praise for him. Speaking of Palace, Jedinak (another thug) deserves consideration for the Adam vacancy. http://www.cpfc.org/forums/showthread.php?t=251125
I think that's more due to his commitment than ability but he can't be that bad if he keeps his place. I was still shocked when Ipswich paid nearly £1m for him though.
Most of the comments say he's a limited footballer who gives his all, which I'd agree with, he was for us. Jedinak has had a good season, though I'd probably take Medel ahead of him.
I'd probably put Delph in for Adam (firstly I don't rate him, and Stoke are top half too!) I also don't think Benteke's really had a good enough season to be included, but he's still a quality player and I can't think of anyone else down there that's done enough. Also I'd have Adam Johnson in for Dejagh too.
Can't argue with that really, I really rate jedinak and bony, id probably swap adam out for livermore without being biased, if mcgregor hadnt been Injured twice and a suspension id put him in there but im really not sure about marshall, id say speroni I actually think palace have a decent team, even though I'll be hunted for saying that
