Manchester United's Ronaldo, Liverpool's Torres and Everton's Lescott: It's easy pickings for the all-star team of the season
There has been some tremendous talent showcased in the Premier League this year with many players shining. Here’s one fan's take on the cream of the crop.

Normally when I look back over the course of a season I find it quite difficult to judge just who would fit into the Premier League all-star team, but this year I’ve found it to be much easier with a handful of players being so brilliant that it would take a fool to not select them.
GOALKEEPER
David James: The Pompey shot-stopper with the Premier League's all-time clean sheet record has easily been the best keeper this season, returning to his best form and staking a strong claim for the re-capture of the England No.1 jersey.
DEFENCE

"whilst preferably a left-back, I'd stick him on the right" He is a right back!!!!! At what point did Sagna play on the left for Arsenal. This might have been a good read but that comment made me realise that the author probably doesn't watch football. How can you not know that Sagna is a right back??????

this team is seriously lacking a defensive midfielder
I didn't notice that Ronaldo is in central midfield. That's a new approach

James, Glenn Johnson, Vidic, Lescott, Evra, Bentley, Ronaldo, Fabregas, Essien, Torres, Adebayor. Moyes by a mile ;)

Bentley did well but Mikel Arteta is surely worth a place. Don't forget that he was carrying an injury from February onwards.

Steven Gerrad, has become that good that we all forget about him now? The boy has scored 21 goals and also has 23 assists! How can he be behind young, bentley & Fabregas???
by Martin Mck on May 16, 2008
REINA, SAGNA, FERDINAND,VIDIC ,EVRA ESSIEN, FABREGAS GERRARD, RONALDO, BERBATOV AND TORRES! PLAYING 4,3,3. WHAT A TEAM!!!

i think i've noticed a shocking oversight here...what about Bramble?
by usman ibrahim on May 16, 2008
How did u arrive at that ? To begin with Rio and Vidic are by miles the best centre back in Europe.And Evra,if there is a better leftback in Europe this soon i didnt see one.Yeah Lescot scored lots of goals this season but that was all there is to is game.Nothing spectacler about him.
by Usman ibrahim on May 16, 2008
for the rest of the squad,ofcourse Ronaldo,Fabrigas,Steven G.,Roney,Tores,and Ade

nice article but I have some disagreement....Lescot .David Bentley and Young do not deserve a place in that team ... vidic and Rio should be in the centre of the defence while Flamini should be in midfield all football lovers are invited to join soccerfanbase.com for the best of news update and forum discussion

usman ibrahim you have no idea about football if you think theres nothing to Lescott's game apart from scoring. he has a great first touch. great header. bit of pace. and can pass the ball brilliantly. and also score some very good goals.
by James on May 16, 2008
the only thing would be a lack of some form of defensive midfielder but this is only a team of XI im sure jason would have picked a player of that sort in a 16 man squad. SUBS: Reina/Vidic/Gerrard/Barry/Adebayor

How can you leave out Steven Gerrard after another season of goals, drive and passion from Liverpool's midfield?
by Anna Davidson. on May 19, 2008
One of the most under-rated players at Arsenal is emmanuel Eboue. Whenever he comes on he strikes fear into the other team. Eboue is like a secret agent, he knows when to appear and deal with the ball. Ramos has put in a bid for him.....but Wenger has done everything he can to keep Eboue.

Cech: Sagna Vidic Toure Evra: Ronaldo Fabregas Ballack Helb Torres Adebayor Manager Wenger !!!

ha clichy definately before evra FACT laughable not to put clichy in that 11

How would you compare Gerrard to Fabregas. LFC you gotta be kidding me. Calderon himself said fabregas is the best in his position. Fabregas at 21 is considered part of the best 5 midfielders in the world and you open ur mouth and say Gerrard shld be chosen before Fabregas. My 11 would be Joe Hart(Man City) -GK Sagna(Arsenal)-RB Ferdinard(Man Utd)-CB Lescott(Everton)-CB Clichy(Arsenal)-LB Rona ldo(Man Utd)-RM Barry(Aston villa)-CDM Fabregas(Arsenal)-CAM Babel ( Liverpool)-LM Torres(Liverpool)-RS Eduardo(Arsenal)L S
