Who is impressing us this season?

[Paul_LFC]

Who are the players that are catching our eye this season? I'm not talking about the usual suspects like Henry etc but the lesser players in the league.

 

Joey Barton has been a star in the league this season. He is really fulfilling his potential and its great to see. Everytime i've watched him this season, he has been brilliant. That volley away at Wigan was just pure class.

 

As everyone says, McBride has been a sensation. He just keeps on popping up with the goals and credit to the lad, he seems to have a good all round game.

 

Jason Roberts for Wigan has got my attention. I thought he'd struggle and would find that the Premiership is too much for him but he is full of tricks and has had the final product to back those tricks up. Seems a down to earth fella too.

 

Steve Davis for Villa, not a suprising choice but he's had a good season as well as Milner who is finally finding his feet. I thought Milner had his 15 minutes but since he's been at Villa, he has come on well.

 

Cheers.

[Herbie von Smalls]

good call on mcbride. he's been catching my eye too. great work rate and appetite, which belie his years.

 

i've also been impressed with mido. after a slow start he showed that he has a passion for the game and a lot of presence. must be good to play alongside also.

 

andy reid's made a bit of an impact at blackburn, in their charge up the table. his teammate morten pedersen has been perhaps the buy of the season too.

[Maldini]

Players that I've noticed being consistently good or better than I thought they were:

 

Spurs: Mido, Keane, Dawson

Wigan: Baines,Chimbonda, Bullard, Camara, Roberts

Bolton: Nolan

Man City: Barton, Ireland, Onouha, Cole

Blackburn: Pedersen

West Ham: Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Benayoun, Reo-Coker

Fulham: McBride, John

Everton: Yobo

Villa: Davis

West Brom: Robinson, Davies, Kuszczak

Boro: Morrisson

Portsmouth: O'Neil

Birmingham: Pennant

I'm pretty sure that Brian McBride also gives his match and goal bonuses to a charity back in America.

[Benitez]

Souness bought him last summer didn't he?

[Flight]

Carrick and Dawson at Spurs.

I know we stuffed Wigan, but i thought Roberts and Camara looked really lively up front. and have looked good when i've seen him on the tele.

Benayoun has gone off the boil abit i think

Carrick and Dawson at Spurs.

 

yeah they've been good.

 

in spain that Regeuiro for Valencia looks a player

 

kilgallon was tops for Leeds the other night

[Earl Hafler]

Agree with a few already mentioned. Vassell has also played well for City, although he'd give Baros a run for his money in the " pass to him, you greedy ****ing b*****d ! " stakes.

 

The young lad at Arsenal who's name sounds like you're trying to say " who " whilst turning into a werewolf.

do you mean steven reid......andy plays for spurs

[Crazy Horse]

Several players at Spurs, but Carrick especially. Scott Parker has returned from gardening leave at Chelsea as an even better player.

[Spike]

Koldrup, Kilbane and Beattie have impressed me, not just the consistent level they play at but they bring a smile to my face every time they play
