Top ten hardest-working players (Sky Sports, 2009)

The following is a list of top ten hardest-working outfield players:

1. Phil Jagielka, Everton (missed 0 minutes)
I knew him when he was a midfielder in Sheffield United by scoring a tremendous goal. After Sheffield United had relegated, he tranferred to Everton. This season, Moyes has transformed him as a central defender. I haven't watched many Everton games so I don't know if he plays well or not. However, should he not play well, he would not have played every single game from the beginning to the end of the games for Everton and chosen by Capello.

2. Aaron Hughes, Fulham (missed 0 minutes)
I knew him because once he played for Newcastle. Afterwards, I haven't had much attention on him. He should play well; Otherwise, he would have dropped by Hodgson already.

3. Michael Turner, Hull City (missed 0 minutes)
Before this season, I could say no one knew him except the Tigers fans. After a few months, he had been linked with moving to Liverpool and Spurs.

4. Jamie Carragher, Liverpool (missed 0 minutes)
I don't think I have to say much about him. Just watch what happen to Liverpool when he is missed.

5. Sylvain Distin, Portsmouth (missed 0 minutes)
He is a player who has a certain level of quality and he always seems to be available for the team because of rare injuries for him.

6. Fabricio Coloccini, Newcastle (missed 0 mintues)
As far as I concern, he can still play just because there are no quality defenders at all in Newcastle.

7. Mikel Arteta, Everton (missed 5 minutes)
He missed it in the 3-0 win over Bolton game. He has been magnificant for Everton. He even had been linked with a move to Arsenal in the winter transfer window.

8. Stewart Downing, Middlesbrough (missed 8 minutes)
He is the only source of creativity in Boro. Without him, Middlesbrough is dead. That's why he was not allowed to move to elsewhere even he had handed a transfer request.

9. Gabriel Agbonhahor, Aston Villa (missed 11 minutes)
He has been improving a lot these few years. The fourth top scorer in the Premier League has helped Aston Villa to stay in the top four.

10. Simon Davies, Fulham (missed 34 minutes)
He has been the key man since he arrived at the Craven Cottage.

  1. I think Lampard has had injuries, hasn't he?

  2. Jagielka - I remember he played as GK for about 30 minutes without conceding during a match against Arsenal

    Arteta - He just picked up an injury that rude him out of the rest of the season

    Agbonhahor - Without him and Ashley Young, Villa cannot get into top 4
