Chelsea players heavily dominate Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher’s teams of the year so far
The Sky Sports pundits have handed out their famous mid-season awards.
“I’ve gone for Costa, I think he’s been outstanding,” Carragher said. “He’s top goalscorer in the league and I think he makes a massive difference, when he’s on song you think he’s really going to take some stopping.”
And Neville speaking about Chelsea Football Club boss Antonio Conte: “If you think about the imprint of managers on teams, Conte has this team drilled as a replica of his Juventus team in three/four months and that’s tough to do.
“He has had the blessing of not being in Europe and he has the training ground time with the team day-in day-out, you can see the shape they’re working on is just there all the time.”
Jamie Carragher’s Premier League team of the season 2016/17 so far
Carragher has included Sunderland’s Jordan Pickford in goal (Sky Sports), he has also included world-record signing Paul Pogba as his ‘player to watch’, saying:
“I was critical of him (Pogba) early on in the season but I think now they’ve found the right fit for him. He’s starting to look the real deal.”
