BPL Best XI 2008-09

Tweet

Lets get to know the best XI for the BPL season 2008-09. GOALKEEPER: EDWIN VAN DER SAR(MANCHESTER UNITED)-71 saves and 21 clean sheets.Stats tells all about him. DEFENDERS: GLEN JOHNSON(PORTSMOUTH)-Lost his way at Chelsea but managed to make a complete turnaround at Portsmouth. He is a regular fixture at the right back position for the Three Lions. BREDE HNAGELAND(FULHAM)-Standing at 1.94m tall, the former FC Copenhagen gaint has been a revelation for the Cottagers atthe back. NEMANJA VIDIC(MANCHESTER UNITED)-Serbian sweeper is a scary prospect for any opposing striker. Armed with a towering header and great leadership skills at the heart of defence, Vidic seldom puts a foot wrong. ASHLEY COLE(CHELSEA)-This season has been a bright turn around in his career. He did his both offensive and defensive duties with atmost ease. MIDFIELDERS: FRANK LAMPARD(CHELSEA)-What a player for Chelsea?? 20goals season in season out. About time this man gets regarded as one of the top midfielders in the world. STEVEN GERRARD(LIVERPOOL)-Stevie-G is the heartbeat of Liverpool with every attack going through him. Critics always expect too much from him, such is the standard set by him. STEVEN IRELAND(MANCHESTER CITY)-Yes,Man City have enough crisp dollar bills to cover the entire ptich but what they lack is a player who lives and breathes for the club. It will be a pity if City start buying midfielders and relegate him to the bench. CRISTIANO RONALDO(MANCHESTER UNITED)-His game comes with an arrogant persona but wasn't it just a while back when a certaim Cantona made his name by being the same arrogant genius we fell in love with? STRIKERS NICOLAS ANELKA(CHELSEA)-Second fiddel to Drogba for a long time before getting his chance this season. 19 goals and the Golden Boot title in the bag, he has to be in the list. FERNANDO TORRES(LIVERPOOL)-"EL NINO" is his nickname in his homeland. But he is no longer a kid. 14 goals does not justify his worth at mersyside and if the man can stay fit for the upcoming season, Liverpool might go one better in the table. NOTABLE MENTIONS: ASHLEY YOUNG(ASTON VILLA) LEIGHTON BAINES(EVERTON) PEPE REINA(LIVERPOOL) Some of you may be fuming at the choices made so why not give us your BPL Best XI and explain your choices?
