Bredbury Blue Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 PFA Premier League Team of the Year 2018 has been announced. GK | David De Gea RB | Kyle Walker CB | Jan Vertonghen CB | Nicolás Otamendi LB | Marcos Alonso MID | David Silva MID | Kevin De Bruyne MID | Christian Eriksen FWD | Harry Kane FWD | Mohamed Salah FWD | Sergio Aguero Alonso? That player the Spurs fans on here don't rate is in it AND he's also top of the league: Kyle Walker. Think Fernandinho is unlucky not to be included though I am an Eriksen fan. Agree/disagree with that 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I must admit, even though personal opinions could change a name or two here and there, that 11 is pretty mouth watering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 On another thread I; and a few others picked different teams. For me, Sterling instead of Aguerro looks more balanced. Young and Valencia would be my full backs, Azpilacuta would have to be one of the centre backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well lets not forget Trippier has been rotated whenever possible so has played fewer league games. Still better in every department other than speed. The lad at Liverpool (who's name i cannot seem to get fixed in my head) already looks the best English right back to me. He has speed that Trippier doesn't and a defensive brain that Walker doesn't and can also cross the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been Robertson but as per usual this is all down to the voting taking place far, far too early in the season. Its absolute b*llocks.

Don't forget before he opened his trap to the Scum he'd been long term injured. Anyway, after that interview his career at Spurs was effectively over. I am also aware Walker's in it but Trippier was rotated a lot. Walker has little of no idea how to defend, just has a magnificent midfield in front to flatter him and hide his glaringly bad positional play. Due to Trippier's rotation it had to be him, almost by default. He really hasn't improved, just has a better midfield to cover him more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 You Spurs fans still denying the undeniable that Walker has had a great season. Oh apparently Trippier has been rotated: Sane certainly had his head spinning in the 2 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I don't think KdB will win it - since Merlin's kiddie's birth around xmas, he has been better than KdB - I think it will go Salah's way.

Come on Stevie keep up and make your old man proud. Even journos refer to Silva as Merlin. Can't see why it's a bad nickname for the little magician.

City fans call Silva 'Merlin' and now we're in to this! Jesus, this place sure brings the 14 year olds in people doesn't it. Think maybe it's time for me to just stick to selective sensible topics on the City "forum". The playground is all yours boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
