For me there's no stand out "Worst Player". You could argue Hutton, but he's had some superb games. As mentioned already, we've got a very good squad at the moment.

As Hansen pointed out, if you want to find out who will win the league then look at the first 11 and then the bench. And what does that give you? Spurs!

without a doubt the strikers, regardless of who plays up there. The rest of the team is brilliant! everything seems to be falling in to place.

It would probably be Hutton/Corluka or Defoe (if any are starters)

That's how good we've become.

I think United have quite a few above average players, yet they still lead with two games in hand. The thing they have, which other teams don't is Fergie and a winning mentality

Corluka.

He's so slow anyone and everyone can walk past him. By his own admission he hates heading the ball and I can't really remember him sliding in on anyone either. His ball delivery is competent at best. Most of the marmite players (Jenas, O'Hara, Bentley, Gio etc) have some strings to their bow yet under-perform but it's hard to see where Corluka excels.

I always thought Hutton was far superior and i'm glad he's settled down now as he's showing it. Likewise we now have Kaboul and Gallas so he doesn't have to play CB.

Nice fella i'm sure but not really taking us forward,

We managed to invent a thread designed to pick negatives out of what is a fantastic squad. Effectively "Who is our worst player?". At times our worst player is our own fans

"Pav is good keep him"
"Lets move to Stratford"
Palacios gives ball to team mate ---> "waaheeey"

It wasn't meant to be negative. It was highlighting our strengths when you look around at others

We dont stack up that well imo. Our strikers are mid-table quality at best, that counts for a lot when push comes to shove.

You could create a team from the top 5

Cech, Evra, Cole, Rio, Dawson, Bale, Nasri, Fabregas, Silva, Rooney, Drogba

or

Fabianski, Hutton, Clichy, Koncielny, Djourou, Park, Barry, Song, Ramires, Crouch, Kalou

they've just won 3 on the trott and they're probably about 2nd in the form table

We've just won three on the trot...only the refs have been far kinder the them.

Anyway, as I have said umpteen times, I am not saying we have a chance and they don't, they clearly have as much right to be considered contenders as we do. Just, IMO, we slightly edge it due to our far superior team spirit, resilience and momentum, combined. I really believe that. The only reason we aren't above them is our early season dodgy form when we were adjussting to CL and a new system of play. Oh yeah, and the fact that they have one point they really shouldn't have and we are missing two we really should from when we absolutely battered them in the first game of the season and they came away with a draw.

I bet your favourite manager is Kevin Keegan
