Laurent Koscielny and Assou-Ekotto: contenders for team of the season?

|

Central Midfield – Stephane Sessegnon – Sunderland.  What a cracking season he has had.  He creates chance after chance for Sunderland, He is a great holding midfielder as well as falling back to defend and forward to attack if needed.  He has scored, created and assisted a high majority of Sunderland’s strikers, I think with permanent strikers in front of him he could be a dangerous player to come up against.

I am fully aware that I am about to put in two wingers but I haven’t been able to choose between both these players.

Winger – David Silva – Manchester City.  Silva has been a huge part of Man City’s team, his ability to swerve around any player and make huge runs is unbelievable, he is little and fast which helps when he has to get through defenders.  He is one of the most consistent players in the Premiership.  He has been nicknamed Merlin and it is very easy to see why because he definitely brings magic to a team.  He has scored a total of 8 goals and has 18 assists this season which is great form.

Winger – Juan Mata – Chelsea.  What a phenomenal player. Mata has definitely been Chelsea’s best player by far this season, he has contributed so much to the team.  He is a creative and extremely fast and technical.  He can read a goal scoring opportunity like a striker and he takes the chances with ease.  His passing is accurate and his attacking midfield/winger/striker role is certainly the best place for him to be.  Do I think Chelsea would have been lost without him this season?-Yes I really do think so.  He has netted 12 goals and 20 assists this season.  He has been compared to the likes of Zola and Silva but I actually think he could possibly be better, especially if Chelsea pick up their game next season.

Striker – Robin Van Persie- Arsenal.  Robin Van Persie has had a pretty amazing season in terms of his own achievements. He has scored 80% of Arsenal’s goals this season and saved them from what could have possibly been a very embarrassing season for them.  It’s fair to say they would have been lost without him.  Van Persie’s class and style of scoring is above the rest in the Premiership.  He see’s an opportunity and goes for it, the power he puts behind the ball and the goals he score are fantastic.  He has scored 37 goals and assisted 14 this season.  He became the 2nd player to score a goal against 17 different Premier League teams in one season.  He also won PFA player of the year and the Writers player of the year awards and not forgetting the Golden Boot.

Striker – Sergio Aguero – Manchester City.  I had to choose between him and Papiss Cisse but after Aguero’s 94th minute goal on Sunday that won Man City the Premier league- he earned his right to be here.  He has had a brilliant season for Manchester city.  His 30minute debut was one of the best football has seen for a while.  He has been their highest striker and the dominant choice for them all season.  Some amazing goals have come from Aguero’s feet this year. He has scored 30 goals and 10 assists plus aiding Man City to winning their first Premier league title. A great asset to their team.

Manager of the season goes to Roman Abramovich…no I’m just joking it actually is Roberto Mancini, As much as I personally do not like this guy he derserves it for leading Manchester City to their first Premier League title in 44 years.  He has stayed positive and he has been a great tactician.

    Valencia instead of Dyer. one was injured most of the campaign the other excelled. Sessegnon was good during the first half of the season, rubbish in the second half. Poor choices
