Agree with most of that line up, except van der Sar for Given and Keane for Vieira.

I dunno about Van Der Sar...he's helped by a very good back 4 where as Given still has to do his job and the back 4's job most of the time (LOL).

And Keane for Viera? Tough one but in terms of football technique as well as defensive capabilities Viera was the better of the two....Keane was far too hot hotheaded for me and that tackle he did on Haland was indefencable. The fact he planned that for a year is shocking. He did that in the street he'd be in jail.

Maybe van der Sar was helped by a very good back four, but it also works the other way around. If your goalkeeper breathes confident, your backline will play with confidence also. Also, looking at the back four for Holland, it has always been the shakey part of the team, yet van der Sar has always been head and shoulder everybody.

You're right about about Vieira being the better player footballing wise, but Keane was a great leader on the pitch wo would die playing for the shirt. Definately love that in a player.

Got John Terry and Ferdinand for all the leadership stuff though so Keane aint going in!

I've always rated Van Der Sar but didnt he have a massive dip before he came to the prem? I mean he went to Fulham and no one were really knocking down his door to buy him. He goes to Man Utd and he's back to being world class again.

I think Given, and to a point Jaaskelainen, just show to me that even though they play for poor teams, they are the stand outs. Given can save a team points and has done for Citeh and Newcastle, Citeh would've have lost plenty of games if it wasnt for him and he's done it consistantly over the years.
