Best visiting 11 seen at the Brit?

[davejohnno1]

On another post, I have posted about the Premier League being over-rated, and that got me thinking about the best 11 players you could put as a team from the games that I have seen v Stoke this season.

My team would be a surprising one as many of the top players haven't played too well against us so here goes;

Jussi Jaskeleinen (sp?) - Bolton
Glenn Johnson - Pompey
Figueroa - Wigan
Vidic - Manure
Hangerland - Fulham
Petrov - Villa
Gerrard - Liverpool
Modric - Spurs
Ashley Young - Villa
Carew - Villa
Defoe - Spurs

I was also impressed with a couple of West Ham players, Kevin Davies and thought Laursen was mightily impressive for Villa. It is a big loss for them that he has been forced to retire.

tuncay sanli

No Lampard? He was fucking immense.

[BiddulphStokie]

i thought figuero was shit

[davejohnno1]

Not impressed by Lampard at all. He isn't a proper midfield player and cheats a bit for me...not in the diving sense, but he doesn't do the midfield role like a midfielder. He practically plays as a centre forward

Essien is a million times better than fat Frank and on the day, I thought Boswinga and Mikel were Chelsea's best player at the Brit.

I missed the Boro game, but my pals liked Tuncay.

If its just players that I've seen AT Stoke this season, then Bullard has to be up there with them for me.

Chelsea

[davejohnno1]

Not necessarily at the Brit, but away as well. Robinho was top class at City but was so bad at the Brit that it was impossible to consider him.

Much the same could be said for messr's Ronaldo and Rooney, although I thought Ronaldo (save for his two free-kicks) was pretty shocking in both games v Stoke.

[davejohnno1]

I was thinking more about players rather than teams Edo, but Chelsea were certainly the most comfortable winners at the Brit. I also thought Everton and West Ham were decent sides.

Away from the Brit, Spurs are the best I have seen this season. They absolutely murdered us for an hour.

[GerrysGonnaGetYa]

For me you can only include Chelsea / West Ham players - by far the best visiting sides we've seen this season

[johnsmithsupper]

The entire Chelsea eleven, the only side to outclass us from start to finish this season at home.

[abboscfc]

i thought krankiar(spellin) looked a good player and andy carrol looked ok

[bunnyscfc]

as I put down the other day:

Kevin Davies, Ryan Nelson, Matt Taylor, Arteta, O'Neill.

[actongatestokie]

Tuncay is a strange one...he was quite impressive against us but i've since seen him in other games, the Newcastle game the other night inparticular, and he was less than impressive.

He is very direct, works hard and is very quick. Against us, his directness and pace created problems and chances.

Against Newcastle, and other games i've seen, his directness caused nothing but the blind alleys he ran down.

bizarre!?

[bunnyscfc]

first half, I thought Bolton were excellent against us, and Kevin Dvies was outstanding all night.

He'd do for us.

Solely from games at the Brit;

Schawzer

Johnson
Figueroa
Hangeland
Vidic

Krancjar
Arteta
Lampard
Scholes
Cahill

Davies

I know Bullard plays for Dull but you must admit when he came with fulham he was absoloutely BRILLIANT. Ran the game and was all over the pitch.

[Stokie-Jiggz]

Anelka, lamps. Chelsea have been really the only team to come here and fully deserve and turn us over!

We gave him the space to play though. We gave Lampard and Scholes no space and they still looked brilliant. That is the difference imo.

[jbstokie]

Corluka, he put his chin on the line

swap matty taylor for krancjar and that's probably what i'd go with.

[y_oh_y_delilah]

I thought Mark Noble controlled the game for West Ham.

couldnt agree more... that was the only game i actually made in person, but I felt they out played/thought/classed us ... and didnt even get out of 3rd gear

[beagriestache]

I thought Phil Jagielka had a good game against us for Everton early on

[tony harrison]

Hangerland for Fulham was the most impressive player for me. Controlled everything at the back.

[Anto1962]

Chelsea were awesome at our place you felt that if we had equalised they would just have got another any time they wanted . In the Fulham game Stoke had 5% possesion Fulhan had 5% possesion and Jimmy Bullard had 90% .

[slangking]

Stand out players; Robert Green, Glenn Johnson, Tuncay, Lampard, Samba, Modric, Robinho

Rob Green? I'd say he's the worst keeper to visit the Brit this season. He flapped at everything more so than the bloke in goal yesterday for Wigan. He was lucky to get that goal disallowed against him too. A flapper of the highest order and God help England if he's one of the best we have!

[RAF]

Lampard is the best player I've seen at home this year bar none!
