Alan Shearer names his Premier League team of the season with five Liverpool stars

Alan Shearer has named his team the Premier League of the season, with Liverpool stars representing almost half of the lineup.

Shearer has selected five players from Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp team, who had accumulated a whopping 25-point lead at the top of the league when soccer was suspended due to a coronavirus.

But there is no place for Reds goalkeeper Alisson, considered by many to be the best in the world, with Shearer opting for Manchester United ace Dean Henderson.

“It was difficult to shut out Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, but the Sheffield United season has been one of the best stories of the season and Henderson has been key to his success,” said Shearer.

“The Manchester United borrower has kept 10 sheets clean and his bravery and confidence believe in his 23 years. He is a budding star.”

Liverpool players dominate Shearer’s defense, with the former Newcastle and England forward who chose Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson, as well as center-back Jonny Evans of Leicester City.

Alexander-Arnold in particular has starred this season, and Shearer said: “The 21-year-old has enjoyed another sensational campaign. His excellent delivery from the right has helped him 12 assists, second only to Kevin De Bruyne throughout the league. Not bad for a right back.

“Defensively, he has played all 29 games for a Liverpool team that has kept a maximum of 12 clean sheets.”

Shearer described Reds colossus Van Dijk as “a complete central defender,” adding: “Van Dijk combines athletics, power and the ability to read the game to lead the Liverpool backline.”

“The Dutchman also offers a real threat within the opposition box, scoring four goals this season.”

Van Dijk is associated with Evans on Shearer’s team, and the former United defender was a stone for the Foxes in third place.

Shearer said: “The Northern Ireland veteran has had a fantastic season as part of a Leicester City defense that has shown great consistency at all times.

“Strong in the air, comfortable with the ball at his feet and a great leader, Evans has played a crucial role in the Foxes’ quest for a top-four result.”

And on left-back Robertson, Shearer said: “Have you ever run out of gas? The 26-year-old boasts of incredible endurance and covers every blade of grass left to Liverpool.

“Robertson’s tenacity extends throughout the team and provides a key outlet in attack for the Reds. Alexander-Arnold is the only defender who scored more goals than Robertson’s seven in this period.”

Shearer opted for an unorthodox 4-2-4 team, with Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson lined up alongside Manchester City star Kevin de Bruyne, who leads the Premier League assists table with 16 so far this season. season.

Henderson has been a revelation for the Reds this season, and Shearer described it as “very important to Liverpool.”

“Henderson, a tireless worker with excellent ball-winning skills, helps protect the defense when defenders fly away,” said the expert.

“What really stands out is his leadership skills. He fuels his team with his energy and has also increased his attack contribution, with three goals and five assists.”

In attack, Shearer selected Arsenal ace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Liverpool star Sadio Mane, city forward Sergio Aguero and Leicester big shot Jamie Vardy.

And Shearer chose a striking statistic about Mane, whom he described as “unplayable.”

“Mane has been growing in strength this season,” said Shearer. “His 14 Premier League goals have earned 18 points for his team, more than any other player in the competition.

“[He is] fast, powerful and deadly in front of the goal. The Senegalese have been unplayable on occasions this campaign. “
