Phil Neville is such a left-field choice.

droberts639.bsky.social•10 days ago

Would Neville be making tackles with his mouth?

andysipowicz999.bsky.social•9 days ago

Schmeichel. Walker. Ferdinand. Campbell. Cole.
Cristiano. Vieira. Gerrard. Sala.
De Bruyne. Henry.

goonerohan.bsky.social•9 days ago

greyedoutman.bsky.social•9 days ago

Can't have hazard ahead of de bruyne. Nope. Not happening. He only had one really good season at Chelsea.

jonathanbaj.bsky.social•9 days ago

Cech, Walker, Terry, Ferdinand, Cole, Rodri, De Bruyne, Lampard, Salah, Kane, Giggs (Take note I was born in 2003 so I never saw Shearer play at his peak for e.g)

giantcalgunner.bsky.social•10 days ago

Must have been hard to type that F word there … maybe VvD instead.

orbinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

Fair shout. I just think Ferdinand's trophy haul probably gives him the edge, but there's certainly an argument for Van Dijk

thisisandro.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'd replace him with Bergkamp and make it 4-2-1-3.

frozencannon.bsky.social•10 days ago

Surely Walker over Neville?? (Maybe my anti-Neville bias speaking)

jack-button.bsky.social•9 days ago

Never question yourself on Neville. It's not a bias, it says you're human.

thatboyparker.bsky.social•10 days ago

Lampard over KDB

adampembrey.bsky.social•10 days ago

Same formation. Seaman, Dixon, Adams, Campbell, Cole, Vieira, Keane, Bergkamp, Henry, Aguero, Ronaldo (this may include mild Arsenal bias)

orbinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

Haha - I thought mine had Arsenal bias! To be fair your selections would certainly all be in the discussion.

lee-gilland.bsky.social•8 days ago

Schmeichel, Walker, Van Dijk, Cole, Vieira, Gerrard, De Bruyne, Salah, Shearer, Henry

tubzinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

Schmeichel; Campbell, Adams, Koscielny; Vieira, Keane, Pires, Salah; Henry, Cantona, Bergkamp

orbinho.bsky.social•9 days ago

Interesting formation. They all have a shout bar Koscielny in my view. That's a bold call.

tubzinho.bsky.social•9 days ago

I really struggled with that third centre back, Ashley Cole deserves to be in there but doesn't fit in the formation, Van Dijk, Vidic & Stam were close but I really rated Koscielny & for 2-3 seasons I really thought he was the best centre back in the league for a spell.

andyppp.bsky.social•10 days ago

Haha, Shearer and Henry in the same side would be crazy 🤪

prasshant.bsky.social•10 days ago

If you go for 4-2-3-1 that is hard to argue so will do an alternate one (without using any of yours') on top of my head...

Seaman, Walker, Vidic, Sol, Evra, Kante, Toure, Giggs, Bergkamp, Bale, Rooney

orbinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

I think most of those would have a case for the first choices apart from Bale, Kante and Toure. I think Bale's Premier League career was more limited, he really excelled in Madrid and after Keane and Vieira, Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard probably all have a stronger claim but all great players.

prasshant.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yeah thought about Lampard, Gerrard and Scholes and agree they are better than two I chose but was risking the team I would mostly hate, hence Kante and Yaya 😂

gooneroz47.bsky.social•10 days ago

Schmeical and Walker in for me at keeper and RB.

orbinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

Definitely have strong arguments.

jack-button.bsky.social•9 days ago

It's decent but can't deal with Bergkamp being usurped.

dunnsworthy.bsky.social•10 days ago

1. Cech
2. Neville
3. Cole
4. Vieira
5. Terry
6. Campbell
7. Beckham
8. Gerrard
9. Shearer
10. Henry
11. Giggs

orbinho.bsky.social•9 days ago

Interesting. They all have a shout, nit hard to exclude Keane and I'd personally always find a spot for Adams. I would have had Giggs until this season for Salah but that's a toss of the coin.

dunnsworthy.bsky.social•9 days ago

However I would say that both De Bruyne and Salah are the best players over the past decade

dunnsworthy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Discussing De Bruyne during the FA Cup final; general consensus was individually he hasn’t had any outstanding moments during his career

slyhorse.bsky.social•9 days ago

Seaman
Dixon Campbell Adams Winterburn.
Ljungberg Vieira Gilberto Pires
Bergkamp Henry.

No Arsenal bias from me, nope, not one bit.

philarsopher.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is strangely difficult. I used to do these in the 00s, and things seem to have changed.

Cech, Trent, Adams, Van Dijk, Cole, Vieira, Kante, De Bruyne, Henry, Suarez, Salah

philarsopher.bsky.social•10 days ago

I think I just really hate the Fergie Utd teams.

orbinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

That goes without saying. Definitely a grudging respect.

orbinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

There will be an age factor in this too. Younger people won't remember that first decade or recall the Shearer of the 2000s rather than the one of the 1990s for example. And everyone's going to have a club bias. Liverpool fans will pick Gerrard & VVD, while Chelsea fans will pick Terry & Lampard.

philarsopher.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yes. I thought Shearer was incredible at Blackburn, but also remember him being slow and a bit penalty-dependent post injury at Newcastle, and he kept his England place through reputation. I only remember peak Suarez by contrast, and that was as good as any player I’ve seen. Keane was amazing too.

orbinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

Definitely a case for Trent at RB, but I think Keane, Henry and Shearer are the the non-negotiables and then Cole.

benkaywriter.bsky.social•10 days ago

Surely there's been a better right back than Neville. Even Timber?

jack-button.bsky.social•9 days ago

Someone's got to set out the cones.

orbinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

In terms of talent, skill etc. there's probably better. But he was a great player once upon a time and won so many trophies. There's maybe an argument for Lee Dixon, Kyle Walker or Pablo Zabaleta or even Trent, but Neville would be my pick.

mottinghammonty.bsky.social•10 days ago

Very good team but can’t agree with the GK. otherwise all spot on

peterlewis55.bsky.social•10 days ago

Almost impossible to disagree though for GK I think Schmeichel and Seaman run Cech close.

orbinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'd agree. You could make a case for both of those, especially if you included pre-Premier League. Seaman in 1990-91 was almost unbeatable.

timi.on.computer•10 days ago

Actually would go with Alisson for GK.

peterlewis55.bsky.social•10 days ago

You could also include Ederson in that list of maybes but they're all worthy.

timi.on.computer•10 days ago

maybe but he's definitely a level below even Alisson for me.

peterlewis55.bsky.social•10 days ago

At their peak they have been great!

orbinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

Possibly in terms of quality and undoubtedly a top class keeper but I'd take Seaman and Schmeichel ahead of him and behind Cech.

groningooner.bsky.social•10 days ago

Would be very similar, but I’d probably go:

Schmeichel
Walker, Campbell, Ferdinand, Cole
Vieira, Scholes
Salah, KDB, Henry
Shearer

orbinho.bsky.social•10 days ago

Interesting. But I think you have to find space for Keane and Adams won more and played at a higher level over a longer period than Campbell. But your choices certainly have a case to be made.

greyedoutman.bsky.social•9 days ago

Ferdinand ahead of Carroll? Nah. Also kinda feel like seaman or Schmeichel perhaps should be ahead of cech for reasons of longevity...

greyedoutman.bsky.social•9 days ago

And much though I hate to say it I think vvd edges Tone. Sorry 🤦

greyedoutman.bsky.social•9 days ago

Campbell. Autocorrect.
