[Football] Team & Player of the year so far?
Bored. Generic football thread to create discussion and ridiculous unquantifiable argument.
For me;
The player of the year so far, has to be Didier Drogba. His goal tally is incredibly impressive, he holds the ball up well, he brings others into play, hes an absolute nightmare to play against. He's also responded well to Shevchenko being brought in, many people thought that he might be replaced, but its his form more than anything else which has served to make shevchenko look ordinary. And hes responded brilliantly to people who questioned his own ability.
The reason i think he's been player of the year is because Chelsea's formation and tactics have been lacklustre to say the least, and mourinho's management this season has been questionable at best. He doesnt have a settled OR balanced midfield behind him, and has a strike partner who has taken a while to get adjusted to english football (if we're being kind). On his own hes been worth about 10-15 points to chelsea this year, just think where they would be without him. (nice thought that.)
Team of the Year so far:
Drogba Van Persie
Giggs Scholes Essien Ronaldo
Evra Vidic Toure Finnan
Foster
Subs:
James
Terry
Richards
Arteta
Gerrard
Kuyt
Doyle

Re: [Football] Team & Player of the year so far?
As I usually one watch Arsenal, I just want to mention to Arsenal players who have been outstanding this season; Fabregas and Van Persie.
Honourable mention to Toure and Adebayor.

Re: [Football] Team & Player of the year so far?
The player of the season has to be Ronaldo. By miles. In my opinion, the best player in the world at the moment and he is so young his game can only improve. I would put Drogbga second to that, but Ronaldo is a joy to watch and has played amazing football this year.
Team of the Season so far:
Code:
Foster
Richards Vidic Toure Barry
Ronaldo Fabregas Essien Scholes
Drogba Van Persie
Subs: James, Evra, Agbonlahor, Doyle, Giggs

Re: [Football] Team & Player of the year so far?
It's very tight, but the player of the year for me is Cristiano Ronaldo. He was, of course, very closely challenged by Didier Drogba, but I felt that Ronaldo's reaction to the barracking of his every touch by crowds at the start of the season deserves some recognition. With the addition of goals to his play and an increased willingness to get back and defend, he's on the way to being the complete midfielder.
Team of the season:
Code:
Foster
Toure Vidic Campbell
Essien Gilberto
Ronaldo Fabregas Scholes
Drogba Martins
Subs: James, Evra, Barton, Young, Van Persie

Ben Foster, the new Rob Green by the looks of it.

Re: [Football] Team & Player of the year so far?
James should be England keeper, but Foster was the difference twice this season between watford losing at vicarage lane and getting a spanking at villa park. He looked great both times.
