Rank our players in order of importance

[Larryjanta]

I don't think I've seen a thread like this before but please delete it if it's been done.

Following on from the Lamela thread and a discussion about him being one of our most important players, I thought it might be an interesting experiment for everyone to rank the XI who started against United (which I think it pretty much our best XI) from 1 through 11.

For me:

1) Harry
2) Hugo
3) Toby
4) Dier
5) Alli
6) Eriksen
7) Dembele
8) Lamela
9) Rose
10) Jan
11) Walker

Feels so harsh on some of those at the bottom as I'd be gutted to see any not in the starting line-up in a cup final but nobody said it would be easy.

Just goes to show how the collective is more important as the individual as every single one of these players has made themselves crucial to our success.

1) Harry
2) Hugo
3) Vertonghen
4) Dier
5) Lamela
6) Dembele
7) Eriksen
8) Alli
9)Alderweireld
10)Rose
11) Walker

I think, maybe something like that.

Interesting! Feel for the full backs as they've been excellent but I guess the quality covers damages their perceived importance.

I did say it wouldn't be easy. It hurt me to do it.

Well, yeah. In Walker's case it is because I'm personally still not sure whether I agree that he is better than Trippier. In Rose's case it's undeserved, to a certain degree, I suppose.

This might change after the summer as some of it is based on us having no back-up:

1) Kane
2) Alderweireld
3) Lloris
4) Dembele
5) Eriksen
6) Dier
7) Lamela
8) Alli
9) Walker
10) Rose
11) Vertonghen

Surprised to see Eriksen so low in these. Whilst I think sometimes he doesn't "stand out" our whole game is based around him imo. I remember Modric not being that highly rated also tbf but watch how much of our good football goes through him. I bet he has a hand in almost every goal of you go back a pass or 2.

This is fucking difficult.

1) Alderweireld
2) Dembele
3) Lloris
4) Kane
5) Lamela
6) Eriksen
7) Dier
8) Rose
9) Walker
10) Alli
11) Vertonghen

Eriksen is no Modric mate. Our whole game is absolutely not based around him.

What about rank our fans in order of importance

1. European away
2. League away
3. Cup away
4. Home
5. Cup home
6. European home
7. Idiots that support the club cause its trendy
8. Idiots that support the club cause were winning
9. Knobs on a forum on match day

Actually you'll be surprised at that, the stats say that he's becoming a very big influence on the team especially now as he's starting to drop deeper and as a result contribute to our build up play. Our game isn't based around him and thank God it's not because we'd be predictable and easy to stop but he's definitely influencing the side more.

Our game wasn't based around Modric either but he is involved in the majority of our good attacking play nowadays.
