Your European team of the season...

[Sir Calumn]

First of all, this gives me a chance to post the result of our poll to decide the best 11 in EPL history...

GK: Peter Schmeichel (62.07%)
DR: Gary Neville (64.29%)
DL: Ashley Cole (66.67%)
DC: Jaap Stam (42.86%)
DC: John Terry (39.29%)
ML: Ryan Giggs (77.78%)
MR: Cristiano Ronaldo (69.23%)
MC: Paul Scholes (58.33%)
MC: Steven Gerrard (37.5%)
FC: Thierry Henry (83.33%)
FC: Dennis Bergkamp (45.83%)

Which, other than the inclusion of Jaap Stam, is difficult to argue with.

Secondly, now that (I think?) all the major domestic seasons are over with, time you pick your team of the season from across Europe! Try to pick based solely on performances in the season just gone by, formation is up to you but needs to be realistic.

Here's mine just off the top of my head...:

Has Lahm even been playing right back at all this season?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Has Lahm even been playing right back at all this season?

Didn't you just watch him play right back for 120 minutes on Saturday? Ribery hasn't played on the right...

 

[Sir Calumn]

Didn't you just watch him play right back for 120 minutes on Saturday? Ribery hasn't played on the right...

Yeah but I thought you'd shunted him out right for that match only because of suspensions and that he's been playing CB most of the season? Mind you, I have no idea where I got that idea from......

 

[ShiftyPowers]

What? No. Central Defense? Not sure where you got that either, he's 5'7''.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Shows I dont watch enough Bundesliga (or, to be honest, any Bundesliga)

I thought you'd be impressed by my selection of Piszczek and Hummels

 

[Filipower]

GK: Cech

RB: Walker
CB: Hummels
CB: Kompany
LB: Lahm

DM: Yaya
CM: Pirlo
CM: Kagawa

FW: Messi
FW: v Persie
FW: Falcao

Subs:
Neuer
Ronaldo
Aguero
Cissé
Özil
Hazard
Vidal
Muniain
Martinez

Off the top of my head. Making the XI was too hard to narrow down, 7 substitutes is impossible. (10 was hard enough)

 

[ShiftyPowers]

No Ronaldo!?!?

 

[Filipower]

I honestly debated between him and Messi for the XI. Messi was the only player making a real difference in Barça this year, Ronaldo had others. I said it was hard!

[Pogba4Now]

Surprised no one mentioned Drogba in the first team.

 

[Mandieta6]

To be fair, this season is moreso symbolic for him than anything else. He delivered in the important games, but was he really that good throughout the season? No.

CB: Hummels (Kompany)
CB: Javi Martinez (David Luiz)

Ok I actually agree. I just realized it is the european team of the season thread. I thought it was the UCL team of the season. My bad.

[ShiftyPowers]

Wow Alaba? Not many great left backs this year, but I'm still surprised.

 

[4ndr3i]

The kid's a beast! I'd take him to Juve in a heartbeat. Hands off him in the Draft.
