First xi against Tottenham XI who is better?

Sandro over Gibson. :lol: Still funny.

Have you even seen him play this season? Probably the best defensive midfielder in the league right now. Parker was our player of the season last year, at this point he probably will be second choice for the DM position, that shows how good Sandro has been.

Yes. Were you watching Gibson against you guys? Here's a refresher:

BTW Never rated Parker, so saying that Sandro has overtaken an injured Parker doesn't really impress me. Sorry.
 
Dempsey and Adebayor should never be on the same pitch. They are too slow to build off of one another. Dempsey in the hole behind Defoe or another non-Adebayor striker is his best spot for Spurs if AVB is going to use him.
 

If i had to pick mine

Lloris

Walker Jagielka Vertonghen Baines

Mirallas Sandro Dembele Bale

Fellani Jelavic

I think's thats a well suited team, Big fan of Jagielka,
 
Lol, I thought Liverpool fans were deluded, but you guys seem to take it to a whole different level. :blink:

No offence, but these kind of comparisons are usually rather pointless, with an obvious bias for your own players and lack of detailed information about the players from the opposing team. For example, it's quite clear that some of you haven't followed a lot of Spurs matches this season.

If you would've done that, you would have known that Parker barely played this season due to injury, so if anything Sandro should be compared to Gibson, not Parker. Or the fact that Walker has been absolutely horrible this season, so I'm rather surprised that a lot of Everton fans have him in their squad, it seems like some of you seem to rate him based upon last year's performances, but this year we see an entirely different Kyle Walker. I would say that Naughton is actually better than him, but thus far he has mostly played at left-back. Furthermore, and perhaps understandable because Vertonghen has played a lot at left-back for us, but he's a CB. Has played in that position a lot of the times as well for the Spurs. If you would compare him to Baines at left-back than Baines would win and you guys have another Everton player in the best-11. But if he's rated as a CB, than he'll surely be in there alongside Jagielka as the first-choice CB pairing.

Lloris
Coleman-Jagielka-Vertonghen-Baines
Sandro-Dembele
Lennon-Fellaini-Bale
Jelavic/Defoe

This is how I would rate the best combined 11, but as I said, it depends on how you view certain players and in which position they play and if they actually played a lot this season or have been out injured, Kaboul has barely played for example, but is someone who could potentiall be in that first-11, Parker perhaps the same. Lloris has been outstanding for us, a real sweeper-GK, he spots a potential dangerous situation and prevents it from happening, much better than Friedel, who brought a lot of confidence with his experience, but his reflexes where really diminishing at his age. Sandro and Dembele have been outstanding for us, Parker was player of the season for us last year, but we didn't even miss him much because we had the Sandro-Dembele combination. Pienaar is a good player, but Bale is better. I do rate Mirallas, but Lennon really has flourished under AVB this season. Jelavic-Defoe is a difficult one, Defoe is really having a great season, but at the end of the day his overall contribution to the game (apart from scoring) is very limited. Baines and Fellaini should obviously be included. Jagielka deserves a mention as well. I don't paticularly rate Coleman, but Walker has been awful and Naughton mainly used on the left.

Really don't disagree with any of this and I actually gave some thought that Vertonghen's main position was CB but I had to go with where he was listed.
