FIFA World Cup: The best Premiership team?





Many people are waiting for the great FIFA World Cup next summer. But until then, we have to watch Premier League. Liverpool vs Manchester United is always the big theme when it comes to who's the best football team in England. Here's a assessment wether Liverpool or Manchester United is the best English football team.

On the keeper spot will Liverpool win with the Spanish keeper Reina, but Van der Sar is not far behind. Reina has been a real class keeper for several years and he is probably at his best age. Van der Sar is a bit old, but absolutely a great player too.

In the right and left back spot getting both teams a point when, respectively, Evra and Johnson wins there.

Both United's stoppers are better than Liverpool's who also has good midtbacks. Carragher has had a terrible season so far and this may be a sign that he begins to lose his skills and should let Agger and Skrtel take over the responsibility of the defense. Liverpool should really invest in some good soccer players in the back side.

At midfield, winning both Fletcher and Carrick against Lucas. Marcherano it is a bit difficult to say with. Carrick is probably the one he should be compared with and then I had perhaps been forced to choose Carrick, but it is very smooth so let's say 1 point each there.
One can argue that Marcherano is more important to Liverpool than Carrick is, but for me it says more about the stable to Liverpool than how good each of these players are.

So it's 3 points to Liverpool and 5 for United so far.

Venstrekant Giggs win easily against Riera as for me very oppskrytt if your opinion is that you go after. At the same time I think Yossi should have been selected on venstrekant, but Giggs win against him though with a much smaller margin. Some are happy to disagree with the decision, but Gigg's routine is priceless, and put him over Benayoun in my eyes.

On the right side is the Kuyt against Valencia and where I must choose Kuyt. Last year he was kanksje PL's best right edge and has done well this year too. Valencia could possibly be better, but I do not consider the potential.

Attacking midfielder / striker is hanging the position I have the greatest difficulty in determining just because Rooney is not playing in a clean hanging striker / offensive midfielder role as I see it.
It is for me to compare Anelka and Lampard. If not impossible then at least incredibly difficult.
Both are very good, but one is clearly more important than the other. This is both because of broad in the stable and his skills.
Selects when the words to give Gerrard 1 point.

Although Berbatov is a class striker Torres is clearly better.

When the result is 6-6 if I compare each player. This is smoother than I'd expected, but the reason I believe that United's starting eleven is better than Liverpool's is because the United has several players who contribute to goals.
Liverpool has mainly 3 goalscorers plus a few goals here and there from the other.
United have far more. Rooney, Berbatov, Owen, Fletcher, Giggs, Valencia, Carrick and, at times, Vidic and Ferdinand.

Liverpool is almost bound to have at least Torres or Gerrard on the pitch in order to assert themselves and there is the really big difference between these teams. United can do without Rooney, Fletcher, Vidic, Ferdinand and Berbatov. Maybe not all of these at once against a storlag, but the difference is big when a Liverpool's "main-men" are out there not to talk about
when both are gone.

The reason that Aquilani is not included in this "analysis" is because he has not played in the PL yet and have not proven what he can. I have not seen much of him from Serie A does so then I have no reason to judge him.


Then I would say that Manchester United and Liverpool are both good teams, but Manchester United have a better manager and routine. They will definately rank higher than this Liverpool team on the Premier League table. This i sthe conclusion on who's the best premiership team; Manchester United!
