I fail to see how you can include Nedved, Zambrotta, and Zlatan in this list. Nedved has been our top player since 2003 however injuries have really taken a toll on him. Zambrotta cannot be overrated because he does his job and sometimes never gets credit for it. Zlatan could be in their if you fail to see the good things he does or do not understand what three defenders do to forwards.

Zambrotta: gets lots of praise from everyone, open any thread where people discuss the "world's best leftback" and you'll see his name at the top of the list. Not saying he's not still good but nowhere near those standards this season.
Zlatan: he was there against Liverpool, we badly needed a goal and over 180 minutes Cannavaro came close to his second, Zlatan was miles away. He did not score vs Real either, or any of the big games this season.
