Who will have the most solid defense next year?

Question

in the english premiership

Answer 1

Out of the big four (Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U), I think there is no arguing Chelsea will be first.

John Terry, for starters. He's by far one of the best defenders in the world, let alone the premier league. You also have newcomer Jose Bosingwa from FC Porto, a great defender who can attack on the flanks as well. Ricardo Carvalho and Ashley Cole are also very solid defenders. While Petr Cech had a poor Euro, he is still one of the best keepers.

Next comes Man U, Nemanja Vidic and Rio are one of the best duo's in defending in the premier league. Wings include the vicious attacker Evra and either Gary Neville, Wes Brown, and occasionally Owen Hargreaves (this is their weak point). Van der Saar performed admirably at the Euros as well as in the Champs League, and I think Kuszczak is going to be one of the best in a couple of years.

Coming in third in my view is Liverpool. While all are very experienced and solid at the back, they're getting old. I'm pretty sure Jamie Carragher has been around since football was invented and Sami Hyypia is slooooooowwww. I like youngster Martin Skrtel, but it'll take time before he makes a real impact. Agger, Arbeloa, Aurelio, and Finnan are also decent defenders. Pepe Reina is a great keeper, he provides a wall for the goal and can also use his accurate kicking skills to start a strong counter.

Arsenal unfortunately comes last... While I think they have a GREAT defense, I don't think they'll be able to work well together. Gallas and Toure are very very good, but OLD. Sagna, Clichy, and Eboue are also very good defending, but they don't know how to work with the rest of the defense and they tend to do a little too much attacking. I really like Almunia at GK, it took a lot of balls to steal the spotlight from Lehmann!
