Do you think that Chelsea have the strongest midfield in the Premiership?

Question

Chelsea midfield :

♦♦ Joe Cole - Essien/Ballack - Lampard - Deco/Malouda ♦♦

Man Utd midfield :

♦ C.Ronaldo - Scholes/Carrick - Hargreaves/Anderson - Nani/Giggs♦

Arsenal midfield :

♦♦ Rosicky/Walcott - Fabregas - Bischoff - Samir Nasri/Vela ♦♦

Liverpool midfield :

♦♦ Kuyt/Pennant - Gerrard - Mascherano - Yossi Benayoun ♦♦

FQ : By comparing all the midfields out of the top 4, Chelsea have the strongest and the most experienced midfield in my opinion. I think they'll get most of their goals from the midfield from Lampard, Ballack & Deco who got off the mark today. Who do you think will score the most goals from midfield this season ?

Answer 1

Chelski.

Answer 2

Y E S - GO BLUE

Answer 3

On paper, yes they have the strongest - but with the exception of Essien, their central midfielders are all over the age of 30 (Lampard, Ballack, Deco). They have no youth about them and that will prove costly as the season wears on.

The only other midfield that comes close in terms of attacking threat is Arsenal's... but Arsenal are rather the opposite of Chelsea... Youth with no experience.

It's balance that eventually wins you titles as United have proven for the past 2 years

Answer 4

yea...chelsea's midfeild looks strong, followed by united's.

ronaldos injured...dont know whats gonna happen....unless the other players step up.

for chelsea i think Deco will score a lot of goals this season.

Answer 5

On the balance of probability; Man U.

Answer 6

Chelsea have come out this season better and stronger which is great because they have a chance at the title like any other season but i would still like Arsenal to win it! Yeh, i agree with the midfield,Chelsea, has it made for em this season! I think each player from the top four might make it up high on the top scorer list!

Answer 7

I may be a Liverpool fan but yes i do think that Chelsea have the best midfield and Liverpool have the worst out of those 4  

Answer 8

I dont know, i think its toss up between man u and chelsea.

Answer 9

I think Chelsea have the strongest but will the ones who are on the bench be happy.  You missed Fletcher from Man U - he is a good squad player  

Answer 10

Disagree Nate but I do love  that name "Dark Lunacy"

Answer 11

chelseas midfield is the strongest in europe....no question

Answer 12

I think it's all a metter of opinion - i reckon the Arsenal midfield could outplay any of the other 3 on their day but they are the youngest.  I dont think age is everything - regardless of the age of the Arsenal players, they all have a huge amount of experience already.

Liverpool midfield is by far the worst, they only have one good one in Gerrard and he didn't even play well last season.

As for Man Utd - i think Nani and Anderson are very over rated as well as Carrick, the key to their midfield is Scholes and Giggs who are now over the hill.

The Chelsea midfield is good but don't play Lampard, overpaid, over rated *** - he's rubbish!!

Joe Cole and Malouda never get a game, Ballack and Essien are good but dirty players

Answer 13

Nah Chelsea doesn't have the strongest midfield. I say best midfield goes to Man U then Liverpool then Chelsea then Arsenal.

Answer 14

Looking at their players Chelsea have the slight edge over everyone else

With all respect, I'd say Arsenal is the weakest

Mainly due to their inexperience but that doesnt mean they cannot do well this season especially if Cesc & RVP do well and Rosicky stays uninjured

The second weakest Liverpool

The only world class midfielder is Gerrard while Mascherano and the others being there to help him

Could have improved much if Barry's move was finalised

Presence of Keane and Torres will complement this lack of midfielders

The second strongest United

Great midfielders in Ronaldo, Giggs & Scholes with players like Park, O'Shea & Fletcher ready to unleash from the bench

Giggsy and Scholes might be getting old but their performances hardly reflect so

Strong defensive unit in Hargreaves & Carrick

Why Chelsea?

At least three world class players in Lampard, Ballack, Essien & Joe Cole.

In my opinion the best defensive midfielder in Deco

Also strong subs like Malouda & Wright Phillips

FQ: Top Chelsea scorer still Lampard

Answer 15

Honestly i think you are right this season Chelsea has constructed a deadly midfield thanks to Deco i mean he totally was controlling things in midfield also they were missing Essien who would have played instead of Mikel so honestly your right.

also when Drogba comes back it should be interesting i mean with him and Anelka up top that would e something but they may not play them both though

but Anyways i think

Chelsea has the best Mid followed by United

Answer 16

In terms of strength in number and quality,they have the strongest midfield.They could lose their best midfielder and still have some one of nearly equal quality step in.

Answer 17

Yeah, but a new deoderant should fix that....

Answer 18

most experienced? wot about scholes, hargreaves and giggs?

Answer 19

yh they do they have a team not singles like the rest

MAN U - RONALDO

ARSENAL - FABREGAS

LIVERPOOL - GERRARD

chelseas whole midfield are match winners

Answer 20

Yes, you are correct. The Chelsea mid-field is world class. I think Lamps, Ballack and Deco will all get 15+ goals this season as Chelsea transform from Jose's ruthless, highly efficient, but slightly boring team into the Samba Kings of Europe.  

Answer 21

Yes chelsea have the best midfield....

But

Bently  Modric Jenas Dos Santos..

This is better than the arsenal and liverpool mifields you have stated..

Fabrigas and Gerrard are bother better than the spurs midfield but the rest of there midfield for these two  are average to good players.....

Answer 22

Yes, they have the best midfield by far to be honest. Essien should always play though, you don't put a talent like him on the bench no matter how many stars you have to please. Let's be honest, Chelsea have the strongest team and the strongest squad by quite a bit...Man United, liverpool and Arsenal can't rely on player ability alone this season if they want to challenge. Chelsea will blow them out of the water.

Oh yeah, you got the Liverpool midfield all wrong. It's:

_______ Alonso __ Mascherano

Kuyt ________ Gerrard _________ Babel

Answer 23

Let's face it Michael Ballack is rather useless, more so than Frank Lampard. If Shev-whatever can ride the bench, so can Michael. In fact, it'd only be fitting. Their midfield is still better than the other top 4 teams from last year.

Answer 24

yes i agree with you not just best in the premier ship the best in the world out of them you did not add Mikel so that says how even more strong it is .

Answer 25

Yes, having been at the game yesterday, I don't think I've ever seen such a strong midfield performance from a club side. But you're forgetting Mikel who was just as good as Lampard, Deco and Ballack and will be very unlucky if he loses his place to Essien when he returns. Joe Cole played somewhere between the midfield and the front man Anelka and favoured the right hand side. He was outstanding also.

I think obviously Fabregas, Gerrard and Ronaldo (if you class him as a midfielder, which I don't) are the stand out men for the other three, whereas its difficult to say who is the main man for Chelsea. I think they will be better than last season, and they came pretty close last year!
