Dr.Spaceman Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Cisse He was f***ing electric for about 6 months then he absolutely nosedived and did nothing but be offside a lot and miss sitters. Says the guy that put Saint Maximin in his team. Who else have we got to go on the left? Jonas? Nope, he was rubbish in the PL for most parts. I picked ASM because nobody has come in and played on the left with anywhere near as much excitement as he has. And if you can't list 3 or 4 better strikers to play for us over the last 10 years than Cisse then there is something wrong with you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 ------------------- Dubravka Ritchie - Schar - Coloccini - Santon Ben Arfa - Cabaye - Wijnaldum - Sissoko ---------------- Ba - Perez Santon. The bloke couldn't defend at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Dummett and Barton ffs Dummett is limited, but when considering the alternatives - Enrique and Santon - the choice isn't great. But Barton was a good player, when fit, on form and not incarcerated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Krul Debuchy Enrique Coloccini Lascelles Lejeune Schar Cabaye Tiote Ben Arfa Rémy Ba Closest I've seen to the team I'd pick in a Rafa 3-4-3, with one exception. I think I'd play Lejeune on the left and Colo in the middle, but open to changing that around. Came down to Lascelles or Schar for me, but I reckon they're on a similar level defensively but Wor Fabian wins out because of his passing ability. Another question was Remy or Ba as the striker. Probably go for Remy as Ba would make a better fist of adapting to the left-sided ten that Almiron played last year. Don't know about Enrique as a wingback, but there's no one else I'd rather play there. Tiote is probably the one player most under threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 team of the decade Saint Maximin wat As I said, from all the talent we've had over the past decade, which team would be the most fearsome? Imagine HBA on one side, ASM on the other, with Ba finishing off those chances that those two created? Would be ridiculous! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine HBA on one side, ASM on the other, with Ba finishing off those chances that those two created? Would be ridiculous! Sure, but by naming ASM, you're ruling out Remy or Cisse (among others). Little wonder some are scoffing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Prime Krul was way better than Dubs. All I know is our team of the decade + Rafa would’ve been good enough to win multiple trophies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 God this thread is depressing. Team of the 90s shits on the team of the 00s. Team of the 00s shits on the team of the 10s. Team of the 10s will probably shit on the team of the 20s etc etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Surprised by the amount of Sissoko picks. Guess people are basing him on his Spurs CM form as he rarely played there for us and when he did he was pretty poor I thought Sissoko should have stayed as a CM for us. Big, strong, pacy and mobile he would have made a very good box to box guy and he would have developed better in the middle of the pitch. I thought he lost a lot when we moved him out to the wing. I mean, there's a few people that has picked Almiron ahead of Sissoko. Sissoko for us was often used in the same way Almiron is now. A quick ball carrier with little end product. Yet Sissoko actually got a 12 goals and 19 assists for us in 133 matches to Almirons nothingness in 22. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure the 90's team pound for pound would do that to be honest - yes maybe as an attacking force, but not defensively? Same with the 00's team. It would be interesting though, Keegan vs Robson vs Benitez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 That the 90s team was shite defensively is an absolute fallacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Joey Barton man. I know I go on about ‘peak Coloccini’, but ‘peak Barton’ was hoying a ball into the box for peak Andy Carroll for 3 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I'd probably go something like: GK) Dubravka CB) Coloccini CB) Lacselles CB) Lejeune WB) Debuchy WB) Enrique CM) Cabaye CDM) Tiote RW) Ben Arfa LW) Perez ST) Ba Subs: Krul, Schar, Dummett, Nolan, Wijnaldum, Ritchie, Cisse Manager: Rafa Benitez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I’m not sure I’d have Lascelles, although admittedly we haven’t exactly been blessed with CBs. Sucks up to Ashley too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
