Five-a-Side Jamboree

Your club's best five-a-side team?

Who ate all the Pies? asks who you'd pick if you had to stage a five-a-side with your favorite team. I'll bite.

Pepe Reina
Steven Gerrard
Xabi Alonso
Luis Garcia
Robbie Fowler

It was a close one between Garcia and Harry Kewell. Both creative and capable of running with the ball at their feet and whipping in crosses. Garcia shades it as he's on form and we've been getting used to seeing Liverpool without Kewell. Gerrard and Alonso can cover the entire pitch, and along with Pepe Reina, will more than make up the lack of a defender, as much as it hurts to leave Jamie Carragher's name off of any team sheet. Fowler is the trickiest forward out there (see: Brann Bergen), it's impossible to leave him out of this.

Just for kicks, how I'd play the rest of the big 4:

Chelsea
Cech
Essien
Joe Cole
Lampard
Shevchenko

Man United
Van der Sar
Carrick
Giggs
Ronaldo
Rooney

Arsenal
Lehmann
Fabregas
Gilberto Silva
Van Persie
Henry
