3 minus 2 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 the guardian have put together a 'best' 11 in the last 25 years some interesting choise's https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/28/premier-league-at-25-best-xi-petr-cech-thierry-henry it reads cech rob jones tony adams jap stam ashley cole scholes gerrard ronaldo giggs henry shearer cant argue to much with the choices, however, i rated stam but as a right footer on the left side he'd be skinned, so i'de defo prefer a left footer,,, but tbh i'm struggling to think of a TOP class one which has shone in the prem, which maybe says a lot about english football, maybe walker ? whats your top 11 ? and bench? thoughts guy's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2702 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Not an easy task I'm confident i have identified the undisputed best mids and forwards but the problem areas for me are the wing backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Van der Saar G Neville S Campbell T Adams (c) Evra Viera Lampard Okocha Ronaldo Bergkamp Henry. Subs. Cech, Rio Ferdinand, Azpilacueta, Giggs, Gerrard, Rooney, Shearer. Roy Keane, Aguerro, Suarez and Cantona left out because they are disciplinary liabilities; so it was touch and go with Viera. Bale, Zola and Henrik Pedersen very close, but not this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 minus 2 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 i thought bale,, but he'd have to replace giggs, close one but for giggsy longevity bale has to be on the bench, as for kane same again shearer and henry win again atm, the only 2 that are really 'challengable' in that gaurdian 11 IMO is jones and he was seriousely good for 3? Ish seasons and stam purely cos he's a right footer on the lhs. but on that premise in all honesty i'm struggling. bench might go van der sare ferdinand lampard bale kane silva irwin cos he could cover l and r well.

Rc2702 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Keeper - seaman Left back - ivanovic Right back - Neville Centre def - Carragher Centre def - Stam Mid - Lampard Mid - Gerrard Mid - Toure Fwd - Suarez Fwd - Henry Fwd - Drogba Subs: GK - Jussi DEF - FERDINAND DEF - TERRY MID - XABI ALONSO MID - ballack Fwd - Solskjaer Fwd - shearer My teams not based on longevity in all areas and whilst discipline may be an issue with Suarez I have afforded him that oversight based on his all round contribution to the team. Appreciate some players seem to be missing but players IMO have a social responsibility too and as a result certain players have been overlooked.

His versatility is key as was his goalscoring exploits for a defender. I though ballack was a great player but in my best team he just makes the subs bench.

Bredbury Blue Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 ^See shearer on the bench. Early shearer (Soton and especially Bkackbum) was outstanding; the later Shearer was just very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivanovic for me would have been the best at any position at the back and I wanted him centrally but there seems to be a bit of debate on his position. Right back left back and for Serbia central so I'm bunging him in left back as baines for me did not have the desire to test himself in a better team and coles persons would have affected my team spirit so he can do1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
