Andrew Gilchrist's Dream XI

My Name is Andrew Gilchrist and my favourite sports are football and rugby.  My favourite football players are Falkirk’s Craig Sibbald and Man United’s Wayne Rooney. My favourite rugby players are Nikko Matawalu and Stuart Hogg.

 If I had to pick my favourite players from this year’s Premier League this is who I would pick. I have explained my decision for each player in each position.




No wonder Arsene's looking happy for once, that's some team Andrew's put together for him..!!



DAVID GE GEA: really good diving and makes incredible saves                                                                                      

CESAR AZPILLICUETA: Fast, good dribbling, good tackles and he has an ok shot for a left back

VINCENT KOMPANY: strong, good tackles, experienced, dominates in the box at headers

LAURENT KOSCIELNY: Strong, fast, good tackler, scores a lot for a defender

Nathaniel CLYNE: really fast, good dribbling, amazing skills has a very bright future in the Premier League especially after his transfer to Liverpool FC

EDEN HAZARD: really fast, outstanding skills, amazing free kicks, definitely the best left midfielder in the league

YAYA TOURE: Very strong, experienced, scores a lot, tracks back to defend and pushes forward to score

ANDER HERERRA: Fast, good volleys, young with a bright future at one of the biggest clubs in the world

ALIXIS SANCHEZ: Fast, strong, amazing longshots, good skills, very talented, powerful,

SERGIO AGUERO: Scores a lot of goals, fast, game changer, powerful, dominates, scares the defence and makes it hard for the goalkeeper

WAYNE ROONEY:  plays for my favourite team Manchester United and I’ve always thought he was a terrific player. He is very talented, has a powerful shot and good skills. Wayne Rooney is my favourite player he scored an amazing overhead kick against Manchester City which was voted goal of the season for 2010.

 

And finally for my manager I chose Arsene Wenger because in my opinion he is the best manager in the league even though Arsenal haven’t won the league since 2004 he’s been at Arsenal for a long time so the fans clearly like him
