Reina vs Howard - despite Reinas current form, I think he beats Howard on ability.
Johnson vs Hibbert/Neville/Coleman - no contest. Johnson is one of the best right backs in the PL.
Skrtel vs Heitinga/Jagielka - pretty even. Can't really decide.
Agger vs Distin - I'd take Agger. One of the best and most composed ball playing CBs around.
Enrique vs Baines - I'd take Baines even though I don't rate Baines defensively. Great delivery though. Enrique started off superbly but his form has been very dodgey lately.
Lucas vs Gibson - Lucas, one of the best DMs in the EPL.
Allen vs Fellaini - pretty even if you ask me, Allen is a superb little player, as is Fellaini on his day.
Gerrard vs Osman - Gerrard, no contest.
Suarez vs Mirallas - Suarez, no contest.
Jelavic vs Borini - Jelavic.
Sahin vs Pienaar - can't really compare as both play different positions, although if I had to chose one I'd take sahin on footballing ability.
If I had to make an 11 from the two teams:
--------------Reina--------------
-Johnson---?---Agger---Baines-
-----------Allen/Lucas-----------
--------Sahin-----Fellaini/Allen-
-------------Gerrard-------------
---------Jelavic-----Suarez------
4-4-2 diamond shape.......
mate i've watched joe allen's whole career, from his debut, there is not in hell's chance he is close to fellaini. he's great on the ball, but doesn't do an awful lot with it. you won't see players scared of allen like they are of felli. gibson ****s all over lucas as well, when does lucas even play?

But form is what matters if you're picking a team right now.Reina vs Howard - despite Reinas current form, I think he beats Howard on ability.
If being a right back amounts to nothing more than bombing forward, losing the ball and then watching your team defend, then yes. Hibbert and Neville both defend better than Johnson, but I grant you he's better than both of them going forward.Johnson vs Hibbert/Neville/Coleman - no contest. Johnson is one of the best right backs in the PL.
Skrtel? He plays like a pokemon, which is somewhat appropriate given his name.Skrtel vs Heitinga/Jagielka - pretty even. Can't really decide.
See, what you've done hear is disingenious. Distin and Agger would make a very good partnership; why pick one when you could take them both ahead of all the other CB contenders? Oh, because you want Squirtel in the team. lol.Agger vs Distin - I'd take Agger. One of the best and most composed ball playing CBs around.
Yes. Baines looked AWFUL defensively against United, Villa and WBA didn't he. Errrrr nope.Enrique vs Baines - I'd take Baines even though I don't rate Baines defensively. Great delivery though. Enrique started off superbly but his form has been very dodgey lately.
Fixed that for ya.Lucas vs Gibson - Lucas, OR one of the best DMs in the EPL.
On what planet? Don't take it personally, but I won't ask you. your opinion appears to be fuelled by liberal doses of crazy.Allen vs Fellaini - pretty even if you ask me, Allen is a superb little player, as is Fellaini on his day.
On this, sadly, we agree.Gerrard vs Osman - Gerrard, no contest.
Time will tell. Would you take a bet on who will score more in the prem this year?Suarez vs Mirallas - Suarez, no contest.
Again, to early to tell. Jelavic has a body of work in the prem, Borini is still using an atlas to find out where several of the other prem teams are.Jelavic vs Borini - Jelavic.
But if we're trying to pick a team, why compare two guys who play different positions for the purpose of selecting one? How about Jags v Downing? Or Howard v Agger?Sahin vs Pienaar - can't really compare as both play different positions, although if I had to chose one I'd take sahin on footballing ability.
But the OP set the terms: straight 442.If I had to make an 11 from the two teams:
--------------Reina--------------
-Johnson---?---Agger---Baines-
-----------Allen/Lucas-----------
--------Sahin-----Fellaini/Allen-
-------------Gerrard-------------

I like how you put Osman in over Pienaar and put Fellaini down the wing.Reina vs Howard - despite Reinas current form, I think he beats Howard on ability.
Johnson vs Hibbert/Neville/Coleman - no contest. Johnson is one of the best right backs in the PL.
Skrtel vs Heitinga/Jagielka - pretty even. Can't really decide.

no love for Sahin? He's probably the best Central Mid between these 2 teams.
