GREAT minds think alike – especially when it comes to the 2020 team of the year.
Alan Shearer, Peter Crouch and Steven McMananam have carefully picked their joint dream team.
Here’s how the team of the year looked with Harry Kane leading the line
Incredibly, the trio named the EXACT same team as the one picked by Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher.
All of the pundits decided to snub the likes of Raheem Sterling, Sadio Mane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
They were all in agreement that Mohamed Salah, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min should lead the line.
Bruno Fernandes is joined by Jordan Henderson and Kevin De Bruyne in the middle.
Speaking about his own decision, Carragher said: “Jordan Henderson was involved in SPOTY. He was Footballer of the Year last year.
“De Bruyne pipped him for PFA and if Bruno Fernandes had been signed in the summer rather than in January then he would’ve been in the running for PFA as well.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Coady, Virgil Van Dijk and Andrew Robertson are at the back.
Neville said: “The second centre back I put in Maguire, Dier, Coady, Laporte, Mings.

“Coady to be fair with Wolves’ defensive record he’s broken into the England team and his stats are as good as the rest.
“Robertson the left-back is unbelievable. To do what he’s doing up and down that wing for three to four years.
“Trent Alexander-Arnold is a star but if Trent wants to look at what he wants to become then he just has to look at his left-back.”
And there was no debate that Liverpool keeper Alisson deserves his spot between the sticks.
He has made 13 appearances this season, keeping four clean sheets and conceding 11 times.
