The Definitive TWF Present Day XI - CM VOTING NOW OPEN

[Nando]

Jordi Alba FFS. He's rank.

Disagree, he was magnificent in Pep's last season pretty much every time I watched them. That Bayern team was ridiculously good and it's a shame they didn't win the CL that year, team who could play multiple systems in one game and do it almost flawlessly. They were pretty unlucky in that game against Aletico, where Alaba did make quite a costly mistake in the end.

Last year maybe not as great but still think he plays at such a high level. Ancelotti is very different with what he asks and where Alaba will have been used to playing all three roles in one game, depending on the state of the game, where the ball is, what the opposition are doing I think Ancelotti likes it a lot simpler and maybe Alaba is still adjusting back to that. Both different managers, equally as good in their own ways.

Don't get me wrong, I like him and he's a huge talent, but there's been a lot of criticism of his this season. He was poor in both legs against Real for example.

Can't have Guerriero here either, played mainly in midfield for BVB this season.

Cheating bastard more than anything, I can't abide him.

Partly why I left Marcelo out - good left back, but a cheat. I haven't seen a great deal of Alaba but whenever I have seen him, he's been average. Only basing it on my own experience.

Eh, was Azpi really a LB last season..

I don't remember him playing there I thought he played sparingly at RWB but it was Alonso at LWB.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's not a verdict on 2016/17 per se though is it.

He played all the three previous years at LB.

 

[Johnny75]

Fair comment.

Doesn't look like this one is attracting the attention that the other two threads did. Either that or no-one can be bothered voting on full backs

Marcelo - 13
Alex Sandro - 12
David Alaba - 12
Jordi Alba - 6
Cesar Azpilicueta - 5
Filipe Luis - 4
Danny Rose - 1
Raphael Guerreiro - 1

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Central halves - six picks, two go through. Dead simple.

Leo Bonucci
Sergio Ramos
Thiago Silva
Gerard Pique
Giorgio Chiellini
Mats Hummels

I don't like Ramos, but it's impossible to leave him out. He's been immense for years.
