Mountain Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) If it's players on their best day ever at ultimate peak, then I may have to swap one for Ben Arfa, but he was so bad so often it's unfair for me to shift one of those guys out. Ben Arfa at his peak 1% game once every 5 years he was basically Prime Maradona. Edited April 4, 2023 by Mountain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Very harsh on Ben Arfa. A lot of people just seem to remember how he left the club rather than a few seasons on quality especially linking up with the likes of Cabaye, Ba and Co. Still one of my favourite players during Fat Ashley's time here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) Given Schar Beardsley Bruno Cole Shearer's a better striker than Cole, but can imagine Newcastle-era Cole doing better on a small crowded pitch, and linking up with Beardsley. Schar sweeping at the back and blasting it at goal when it comes back. Edited April 5, 2023 by Superior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 You want your keeper to be able to play with their feet in 5 a side: On that basis Id go: - Matz Sels - Coloccini - Bruno - HBA - Shearer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 18 minutes ago, Gaztoon said: Pope Schar Beardsley Gazza Isak I'd go something like that, you want the best ball players in 5-a-side, Shearer was a fabulous 11-a-side player but he'd be nowhere near as effective on a smaller pitch where the ball needs to stay low and it's all about trickery, still and ball control. Pope Albert Ginola Gascoigne Beardsley For me. No need for a number 9. Beardsley was a great forward, Gascoigne and Ginola both had great shots on them too and would get way more shots off than Shearer as they could all create for themselves but he'd need service. Albert not the greatest defender we've ever had, but he was solid, a great passer and in there just for the thunderbastards he'd threaten to unleash from any single point on the pitch. Schar very similar in terms of skillset but gone for Albert even if just for nostalgia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Shearer would be able to just shoot from anywhere on a 5 a side pitch. The whole game would be the other team's keeper picking it out of the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
