Iain,
Shouldn’t the central defenders percentage be as a pair rather than by the individuals? Its just that the poll did ask pick two of these central defenders. I’m not a statistician, but I’m not sure if that is right. Thanks
How can you not have Kieran Dyer in the first eleven??? Unbelieveable……… I’d be happy to play him anywhere across the midfield or just behind a lone striker, but he’s got to be in their for his pace, technical ability and his goals…… surely!
Pantsil was a moose as a defender – now he is in midfield with the freedom to run up and down the right wing and across field he plays an excellent game. I think he may get a better result if he had had mmore games before leaving to play in the African Cup. Also, I feel that with a few games under his belt, Faubert will get a better result – one player I am really looking ofrward to seeing this season.
To answer yuur question Big Casino; the reason Dyer did not make the starting eleven was I think due to the fact that he has been injured and therefore not considered by most Hammers fans.
Had Dyer been playing on a regular basis there is no doubt he would have got in.
To me it makes sense that you vote for the players that have played the most.
Deano is a hot favourite of the fans,but you would be very surprised if he had got Hammer of the Year last year after all the football he missed.
