I tbh thought the thread was about 3 best players not most important. The two for me are very different.
Best being:
Baines
McCarthy
Stones
Most Important being:
Stones
McCarthy
Barkley
Lukaku
The best in my mind aren't the same ones that are the most important to us. Ross hasn't been anywhere near the best or his best this season, yet when he performed both this season and last, it coincided with our best games.Hence he's pretty important to us doing well as a team
Baines got ripped because Hodgson played Rooney on the wing in the Italy game meaning he had no cover and it was 2 on 1 for the whole game. Ashley Cole in his prime would have struggled.
Jagielka lost Suarez once and got punished unfortunately. Not like they had shockers despite the way they were thrown under a bus.
For the past 3 or 4 years - yes.Baines is better than Cole right?
Not in Cole's prime mate.Baines is better than Cole right?
Stones
McCarthy
Jags
Stones
McCarthy
Lukaku
Alcaraz
Barry
