Good evening,
I am just interested to know everyone's opinion on where our current squad would rank on paper compared to other teams in the premier league.
If all players were fit and performing to the highest standard I believe we would rank 4th behind city, Chelsea and arsenal.
What does everyone think?
Cheers

Hard to do when they are not being put in the best conditions to succeed hence, hard to evaluate

Keepers:
1st - Courtois
2nd - De Gea
3rd - Hart
4th - Cech
5th- Lloris
6th - Mignolet
So, our keeper (IMO opinion) is 6th best and arguably the most important member of a strong spine isn't even in the top 4.
Not a good start on paper

It's extremely hard to call between united and us, the three you mention - yes. Who ever has the better manager will finish forth. So obviously that will be united.

Hart is by far the best keeper in the league.
{Ed001's Note - in which league? Because he is not even close in the Prem, though defo ahead of Migs.}

De Gea is the best in the PL, hands down. The guy pretty much dragged Utd to the CL on the back of points-winning saves and performances. Hart? You must be joking.
15 Sep 2015 21:34:30
Cech should be the second best behind anyone. He is a complete keeper
15 Sep 2015 21:34:53
i'd say how about taking couthino out of the team and where would we belong in the prem ,has good as sturridge is he has to be on the field to play football and there is no way we would get 3 full seasons out of him , so i would not count him in a bit like enrique
15 Sep 2015 21:54:35
Ddg is the best in my opinion. Cech and Lloris would be above Hart also. Begovic would also be well up there, at least ahead of Mignolet.
15 Sep 2015 21:55:09
Im not sure how to decide the best, de gea has had a poor season and a great one, Courtois had one mixed one, lloris has had a few good ones, cech has had many great ones.
I'd also argue that possibly begovic, and maybe even Forster butland Howard foster Guzan etc may all be considered better than mignolet by their supporters
15 Sep 2015 22:06:45
How about Begovic! I'd say he was ahead of Migs.
15 Sep 2015 22:13:29
Mignolet is the worst keeper we ever had .hes not in top15 in prem .cant kick throw or even roll the ball out worst distribution I've ever seen the only time he touches the ball is top pick it up out the net .but he still has more touches than all of our front 3 . Terrible keeper
15 Sep 2015 23:56:57
Migs is defo not even in the top 6 keepers in the premier league. I rate Adrian and pantilamon along with the others mentioned above him.
15 Sep 2015 23:26:24
He ain't the worst mate.

De Gea should have won player of the season, Hazards a good player but it just affirmed the idea Britain fawns over attackers more than defensive players when Chelsea's title win was founded upon their defense and Matic. De Gea single handedly (well double, technically) took United into the top four and probably won them half their games in all competitions. All of those three deserved it ahead of Hazard.
16 Sep 2015 05:03:48
Fraser forster, Hugo lloris, De Gea, Courtois, krul, Howard, Guzan just about ever keeper is as good as or better than Mignolet here.

Hart is just about okay IMO. If he wasn't English, nobody would be using him as an example and his many mistakes would have been more highlighted.
