Hence the placing of Carragher on the bench, he has been fantastic for Liverpool and is a fantastic defender but his form has dropped and he knows it. On his day Carra can quite easily be up there with the likes of JT.

You point out that 3 of your best 11 would get into those of your rivals, but the key issue there is the flip side; all of your title rivals have knocking on 8 players in their team who are better than yours. That's just a huge gulf.
In fact, extend it a bit. How many of your best 11 do you honestly think would crack the Spurs team? It's a closely run thing IMO, and they have better depth. That shouldn't be the case such a short time after them being relegation candidates and you topping the table.
I thought that was basically what I had said in my previous post? We've got some fantastic indiviudals but that our squad depth is poor?
That would be my team made up of last season's top 4 on form this season so far.
Am I missing something with Vermaelan? Seen him outjumped by a Blackburn player who's name escapes me, to score and has kept about 2 clean sheets all year. And leaving Fabregas out is pretty harsh.
Also, there's two ways of picking this team. Form and Permanent class.
Form:
Reina
Johnson Terry Carvalho Cole
Fabregas Essien Giggs
Torres Rooney Drogba
Based on if I was to pick the players at their current peaks:
Reina
Johnson Terry Vidic Cole
Essien (EDIT J Cole out for Essien)
Arshavin Fabregas Gerrard
Rooney Torres

Liverpool haven't conceeded less than Chelsea since 2001. Liverpool's best defensive performances haven't been as good as Chelsea's over a season. Chelsea's best defence over a season has been a great deal superior to anything Liverpool have been close to.
Liverpool like to go with FACHTS. The fact is that for all the jerking off over Reina and Shay Given, they've both let in nearly twice as many goals as Cech.

So a goalkeeper is judged by how many goals he lets in?
You'd better tell Chris Kirkland that every single goalkeeper in all the British leagues was better than him 2 weeks ago.
