2014-15 Premier League Mid-season XI

As we are half way down the premier league season, the league table is finally starting to shape up properly. Now the teams can more or else identify the realistic targets which are beckoning them.In the last few months, many players have shined for their respective clubs to help them stay where they are in the table. Let us look at the best eleven and the stand out coach so far in England:

#1 Goalkeeper: David De Gea

After being criticised at the start of his Manchester United career in 2011, Degea has earned the praise from the same section of people lately with his impressive performances. After early disappointments, Degea started to gradually grow into his position and won the PFA goal keeper of the year award the very next season in 2013.

Since then he has been a prolific figure at the back of the Reds defence. After defensive rocks such as Vidic and Ferdinand left the club in the summer, Degea had to hold the fort for an inexperienced defence this season and the Spaniard duly did it. The 24-year-old has saved more points for Manchester United than their attackers have gained in the other end of the field.

Notably his heroics against Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool helped his team get all three points. Since De Gea had to do all on his own in United's defence, he gets the nod ahead of Thibaut Courtois, who in truth has the luxury of a solid defence in front of him.
