I'd argue that (very soon) Tripper, Hall and Schar would all be in our all time PL back four. Hall probably has to cement himself for another season.

 

I'd stick Woodgate alongside Schar, even though he wasn't around for long he's the best CB I've seen play in black and white.

 

And if Botman gets his arse off the medical table for a season we will have an even harder discussion.

Hall will make it if he carries on like this, but at the moment his contribution is well below Bernard and Enrique for me.

Enrique is persona non grata in NUFC terms. That cunt ceased to exist when he starting talking about Liverpool as his club.

 

Bernard is fondly remembered but from what I've seen of Hall, he's twice the technical level of Bernard.

Very harsh! He was poor in his first season when we got relegated, but the Championship season and beyond he was pretty good - he got in team of the year in 11/12. He also gave the best performance by an NUFC CB I can remember at Sunderland away, probably until Burn in the final.

 

The one where Tiote was sent-off early on? Was a masterpiece of a performance.

Not Schär vs PSG? It was already a 10/10 performance from him before he stuck one in the top corner from 30 yards.

We are just destined never to score a goal from our own half. Rob Lee had one ruled out for offside decades ago, this time Schar hits the bar and misses by literally inches.

An offside awarded to us! Insane!

He was mostly a midfielder for us in the PL after we went up - he didn’t start playing RB again until late in 95/96.  We usually played him RW or CM in the PL in the two and a half seasons before that.

 

The lad was incredibly versatile. 

94/95 at home to Southampton (I think) word got out that Watson was playing CF. He was still 18/1 for first goalscorer, we all lumped on and he duly obliged

Crap first season (as was everyone)

Found his feet in the Championship

Steady away back in the PL

Outstanding in the season we finished 5th

Shocking every season after that

 

 

he did have the usual "off the field issues".
