Best player in EPL

A lot more than any Celtic player, might not have had the best year but even still his able to star in many games. Alonso and Gerrard is one of the best and most consitent central midfield partnerships in english football.

Everyone talks about Gerrard being the greatest centre midfielder in the world, when he is not even the 3rd best centre midfielder in the Liverpool squad.  Alonso, Sissoko and Marcherano are all better centre midfielders than him.

Man U players 2, Chelsea players 2.......

you know the stupid thing about questions like this, is that goalkeepers never get a look in, and invariably neither do defenders.

Id say Berbatov, Arteta and Lescott derserve a mention. Andy Johnson is crap so Lescott and Arteta carry Everton

That's just crazy! You can't even compare them as they play different roles. The only thing they have in common is that they are in the midfield. Alonso and Mascherano are both holding MF'ers and Sissoko is the fetcher. Gerrard doesn't normally play either of these roles, he's normally attacking MF, the support striker or out wide (usually all in the same game).

It's hard to pick this one, Ronaldo has more flair (i'm choking as I type this), Drogba can be contained for 89 mins and then win the game with half a chance and the Stevie G is all action and more versatile than the other two. No clear winner for me.

Tevez is stunning and almost singlehandedly saved the Hammers but hasn't shown that form for a whole season yet.

Most underrated IMO is Benni McCarthy. 18 goals for a mid-table team is a class performance.

ronaldo or scholes hes so underated

Its always Gerrard. Who else can drive a whole side that way?

giggs can

MORTEN GAMST PEDERSEN

Morten Gamst Pedersen is a high quality player, Doesn't get much recognition though.....Be good to see him move to a better club..

Mikel Arteta for me....but I am bias.

me bias aswell coz im a blackburn fan and we share the last name

Agree with Nesting about 'ur Tater, Mikel Arteta to the uneducated. He is probably the most underated playing the the prem league. He scores, he creates, he's a hit with the ladies and (unlike Ronny Ronaldo), he stays on his feet and fights.

 Mikel Arteta  best signing for a team i reckon  2.4 miilion pounds and he's gold

 biggest waste of money   micheal owen followed by wayne rooney (face it he's done nought )

Michael Owen was injured and Rooney's a damn good player half the people don't know what they are talking about on this forum probably because they are biased or hate Liverpool as you do

micheal owen is ALWAYS injured   long ball kings 

Rooney had got to be up there as one of the best. Consistent and great touch and strength. Sure Van Persie might score the odd good goal or something but he lacks consistency. Drogbas class but again Rooney creats chances drops back all the time. I put him up in ma top 3. Id have to include the ultimate midfielder Gerrard. Scholes back in his days, but dropped off the pace slightly.

actually i take that back  Rooney  is good  i just wanted to get a rise out of Utd fans stir it up and stuff

still can't say the same for Owen though he's the Johnny Wilkinson of football

and i don't hate liverpool  they are my 2nd favourite team (distant 2nd i might add). just don't rate Owen that's all

Agreed!! was good! Hasent been for last 3 years. Just saw a video clip of Rooney and Dirty Sanchez on youtube. Have a geez. Search Rooney Dirty Sanchez or something.

Bit of talk about Bale potentially being player of the EPL this season. He'd be up there.

Other candidates? Perhaps a poll could be in order...

I think these ones have stood out in particular this season, off the top of my head;

Bale

van Persie

Michu

Suarez

Cesar

Fellaini

If value is brought into the equation the Michu is a standout (and arguably RvjP). If not, Bale and RvjP.

I'm off to stab myself in the eye.

 Winston Reid. End.

Is Cesar the keeper from QPR???

Agree that Bale + RVP are outstanding. Michu is quality but I have a feeling he's the kind of player that won't succeed in a big club so hope he stays.

No, nothing special about Bale.

Move along everyone look somewhere else please.

RVP has shown that he is not just great at Arsenal, but he has carried it on at Man U. Surrounded by decent players in both teams, I have entertained the thought that would he be as successful at someone like QPR or Villa or Newcastle? But a quality player he is and a deadly finisher.

Based only on performance thus far this season i think michu should be right in the mix - scored a lot, almost all of them vital ones, and surely from less chances than the others at the top of the golden boot table

Demba Ba has also played well. Mata too. Someone mentioned Baines, I'd forgotten him, he's been outstanding. Probably no one from Arsenal - cazorla and walcott have had good seasons but not up with this lot, and wilshere probably not enough games. 

 Stupid thread as this just becomes a personal opinion.

What do you think an internet forum is? 

If it's not a forum for people's to voice their opinions, then what is it?

Seriously leggy, I try with you, I really do, but sometimes you're just a walking facepalm.

It is just the topic. The best player in the EPL. Sure everyone has an opinion but in this case a lot will go with a player from the team they support and lots of variables. Over 400 players to pick from.
OK I will have a go. Junior Hoilett.

Carroll 

(Tom)

I honestly think if he wins the golden boot and ManU win the league, it will be RVP again. Michu to run him close if he keeps scoring and Swansea finish well.
