It's been a very long time since anything was posted on here, but as the football season has now ended, this would be a perfect opportunity to complete another dream team. This one will in fact be a team of the season. Previously Will and I made a 1/2 season dream team, with a set of rules to make it more interesting. Those rules wont apply this time, but I obviously wont be putting out a full Man United squad etc... I think...
JESSE SEASON XI:
FOSTER
VIDIC KOMPANY BAINES
PARKER TIOTE
ROONEY ADAM BALE
TEVEZ CHICHARITO
SUBS: YAYA TOURE - ENRIQUE - COLOCCINI - NANI - BENT - VAN DER SAAR - MEIRELES
MANAGER OF THE SEASON: SIR ALEX FERGUSON / IAN HOLLOWAY
Obviously there is a bit of bias involved in my total 18 choices, but I honestly would choose some of the NUFC players from this season (i.e. Coloccini and Enrique) over defenders from teams such as Arsenal, who have had a dreadful season in defence considering they are a Champions League side going for the title.
Equally, Tiote, despite his love affair with the yellow card this season, has been a sensation playing CDM. His skill on the ball is Essien-esque, and is a definite one for the future at only 24 and a steal at £3.5 million. There are some obvious choices that will be found in all end season XI's: Vidic, Adam, Tevez, Baines, Parker, Bale and probably Kompany.
However, with the likes of Rooney, his fantastic second half of the season rediscovery of form grants his inclusion. Note also that he has been placed in attacking midfield, a decision made based on his quality in distribution of the ball, short and long, and his work ethic in a team in which he seems to be the provider for the clinical Chicharito. The 'little pea' was an obvious choice. His speed, sharpness and poachers instinct was frightening to watch, let alone his goals to game ratio. Ferguson has worked magic in acquiring him for just £6 million.
Finally, in goal we have Foster. I know Birmingham have been relegated, yet this does not fairly represent his performances between the sticks. His performance, for instance, in the final of the Carling Cup, was epic. He has matured greatly, and similarly to Joe Hart, transformed into a great keeper at Birmingham. GK was a hard one with Joe Hart having a good season (albeit slightly dropping in form towards the end) and Van Der Saar completing his final season in style, yet Foster's efforts in a team that fell dangerously following winter were spectacular, deserving him his place in this XI.
Possible dream team from Will to come...
