Gary Nev has published his team of the season so far and there are no United or Chelsea players included. Having said that it's probably about right although I would have Ba rather than Aguero and not sure about Ledley King. Thoughts?
Hart (city)
Walker (spurs) Kompany (city) King (spurs) Enrique (lvpool)
Silva (city) Ya Ya Toure (city) Modric (spurs) Bale (spurs)
RVP (arsenal) Aguero (city)
Nev's team of season

Only wrong on king mainly on fitness. Everything else is accurate.
Walker is already a match for richards defensively and fastest full back as well as more dangerous attacking threat. All things equal should start for england.

i think the absence of vidic and the amount of mistakes jones has made makes jonny evans look good. to be fair to him though he has improved a lot since last season and i did miss him when we had loads of injurys in defence

It's his first season in commentary and I expect he's tryin to make sure he isn't seen as biased. Probably being over cautious though. Can't be having bale over nani

Oh I think we can. Nani has been better this season but still disappears in matches.
I would have Ba in ahead of Bale though and Richards ahead of Walker....and Freidel ahead of Hart.
Freidel
Richards Kompany King Enrique
Modric Toure Silva
Aguero Ba Van Persie
Although King isnt fit to play more than once a week when he does play he is class.

Bale isn't exactly mr consistency

if you are only having part timer ledly in your team, might as well have vidic.
richards is a far better supplier than walker will ever be.

As a defender overall I absolutely would but Im basing it on this season.

no. Aguero easily gets in above Ba. Would have Ryan Taylor rather than Walker, and Assou Ekotto rather than Enrique, and Shawcross instead of King. Other than that, i agree with the squad.

I've been highly impressed with GNev in general. He looks a little uncomfortable in a suit and on tele in front of millions, but you can't knock him at all on content or objectivity.
