Guest Haris Vuckic Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Good to see everyone going with Pedro, except Yorkie. I would be surprised it Tooj hasn't already set off to Yorkies house with a machete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Given Barton Albert Coloccini Enrique Solano Tiote Beardsley Ginola Shearer Ferdinand I've gone with Ginola over Robert because I think he was a better all-round footballer. The thought of Robert providing crosses for Shearer and Ferdinand together is very tempting, but I just think Ginola was better. I've decided to play Beardsley back in midfield because I think I'd rather include Ferdinand than a Speed or Lee or Batty, who good as they were weren't as good as Ferdinand IMO. The other tough choice was picking Tiote over Lee. Lee was a better footballer, and probably a better overall player, but I think having Tiote in there would allow Beardsley to really run the show linking midfield to attack. Shocking how we've not had any really good RB's in almost 20 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Tiote's got a bit of work to do before he's worthy of a place over Speed or Lee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Aye, as I said on actual ability he's probably not worth a starting spot. Wanted a pure DM though, and I think he best fits the bill in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Given, Watson, Beresford, Woodgate, Coloccini, Solano, Lee, Beardsley, Ginola, Shearer, Ferdinand. Most are obvious choices for me other than Steve Watson at right back. We've never really had a top class right back in my time. Beye had a great six months but insufficient to warrant a place. Warren Barton had his moments and was a 100%er but lacked real quality. Watson gets the nod as I had a real soft spot for him. He genuinely loved playing for us, was versatile and had some real talent. I'll never forget his two winners v Liverpool and although his versatility was probably in the end a weakness, his performances at right back were probably his best for us. Definitely one filed under "never shoudda sold him". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 don`t really understand the selection of Warren Barton at RB.....thought he was pretty dodgy when he played for us and often made errors (looked good at Wimbledon mind)....would have Watson or Beye (even though he only played a season for us) or even Hughes as they didn`t drop as many clangers at the aforementioned....but to each their own I suppose came across it on the tinternet. (waiting for some smartarse to include Karlese/Ramage/Maric and co in their lineup Elliot Ramage Onyewu Boumsong Quinn Duff Faye Pattison Alan O'Brien Luque Smith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seemed to really kick on after he left us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I reckon Andy Cole should be getting into these teams ahead of Ferdinand. As for omitting Beardsley, who is by far the best footballer I have ever seen don the black and white.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Only one person has left out Pedro, who as you say should be the first name on the team sheet. I agree about Cole over Ferdinand, but I have neither my team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Because no striker we've had since has come close to matching the season Cole had in 93-94. That includes Les. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rekon shearer must have come close , at some point. not sure what shearers best season was. think cole got 41, or 42 that season? still believe les was a better player. Take nowt away from cole. fantastic record, He had pedro, lee, sellars etc putting it on a plate for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Ferdinand had Gillespie and Ginola putting it on his head. Both were great but Cole was the more reliable goalscorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Ferdinand had Gillespie and Ginola putting it on his head. Both were great but Cole was the more reliable goalscorer. That's true because Cole was the much more natural finisher. A Shearer and Cole partnership in the mid 90's would have won several titles for the club that had them. And to think we could have been that club .... Cole Shearer Beardsley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
