I must have been editing while you typed that. As soon as I posted I thought ... erm ... whoops. Ian Harte is a solid replacement thought.

[goatboy59]

EDIT; already spotted!

[Dan]

jurgen klinsman comes to mind

Given better than Reina? You should be glad I'm on my phone and can't neg.

Okocha better than Le Tissier? Boateng better than Hamann or Mascherano? Kelly better than Rob Jones?

 

That's only comparing with ours. Go away and do it properly.

[Phoenix]

Ian Harte was shite... he doesnt deserve to be on the list. Not to sure about Gary Kelly either.

[Guest TK-421]

---------------- Reina-------

R Jones---Kompany--Carra----Gaz Baz

Ginola---Gerrard---Beardsley---David Silva

---------Le Tissier----Klinsmann

[Preston Red]

GK: Pepe Reina

 

RB: Rob Jones

CB: Jamie Carragher

CB: Sami Hyypia

LB: Jon Arne Riise

 

RM: Jason McAteer

CM: Steven Gerrard

LM: Steve McManaman

 

FW: Robbie Fowler

FW: Ian Rush

FW: Fernando Torres

 

As you can see, mine has been picked with Red-tinted specs on is certainly a team I think would've walked the Premiers. Obviously people will disagree but that's my view.

[Guest TK-421]

I am subbing Kompany for big Sami.

[Eljeficito]

Pepe Reina

 

Pearce

Hyypia

Carragher

Babbel

 

McManaman

Gerrard

Alonso

Ginola

 

Zola

Fowler

 

quite depressing how many reds are in that

You either forgot Sami - a great crime in itself - or you didn't think he warranted a place in the team; either way, negged.

[WrongIslander]

Okocha better than Le Tissier? Boateng better than Hamann or Mascherano? Kelly better than Rob Jones?

I'm taking into account length of time and plus I didn't want all Liverpool players.

 

Yes Gary Kelly was better than Rob Jones, he was a consumate professional who gave years of faithful service as well as being a quality player. Jones was class but time played its part and again, didn't want all Liverpool players.

 

Le Tiss deserved to be mentioned but Le Tiss in midfield ahead of Okocha? Not a prayer in my books. Boateng not better than Mascherano? Only on this fucking site.

[WrongIslander]

Ian Harte was shite... he doesnt deserve to be on the list. Not to sure about Gary Kelly either.

 

Neither were shite and why don't you offer an alternative?

[WrongIslander]

You either forgot Sami - a great crime in itself - or you didn't think he warranted a place in the team; either way, negged.

 

Fair enough. Sami and Desailly. Carra deserves it but not as much as big Sam.

 

I could also have put Hamann in for Boateng but it's just a rough quick list of players that came to mind and needs a bit more thought.

 

Thanks for the neg though, really warranted. If I cared I might call you a name, but I don't so ....

[Eljeficito]

what Boateng are you on about here? The Villa and Boro one?

You should sub McAteer and stick Barnes in then it would of been ace.

Absolutely mental, on both counts.

Ian Harte was shit.

[Jonny83]

I think it's only natural a lot of our players would appear on a team like this given we're easily the most successful team never to have won the league since Football Was Invented in 1992.

[Antynwa]

Surely Owen deserves a mention?

Faustino Asprilla

Firstly, that is mental. Secondly, if you don't want a load of Liverpool players, why not say that. You include some, but not others. If they are better then they are better. So your "best 11" is actually a bestish 11, with a few arbitrarily removed better players replaced with poorer players, preferably Irish.

 

Did it all make sense when you started the thread?

[Preston Red]

That's a good point.
