NUFC Team of the Decade - 2010-2019

I'm not sure that the forwards would ever see the ball in these teams with two deep-lying midfielders and five at the back. If you have Debuchy and Enrique as your 'wing backs', which they're not really, then Cabaye and Tiote in the middle and three up top, there's not much pace and a dearth of options when it comes to carrying the ball up the pitch.

 

I'd go with Disco's team:

 

Krul

 

Debuchy - Lascelles - Coloccini - Enrique

 

Sissoko - Cabaye - Jonas

 

HBA - Ba - Remy

 

feeling that Cabaye offers more balance and creativity than Tiote, wondering whether Perez might offer a bit more than Remy when it comes to linking the midfield and attack.

If you watched diame during the first half of that season and knew what was coming in the second, you're more than knowledgeable, you're a fucking wizard.

 

The eagle eyed among you may have noticed I decided to pick one position for each season of the decade. It may not be the season they played their best form, and may not be my overall team of the decade, but it killed half an hour.

Dubravka

RB 2012/13 Debuchy

CB 2019/20 Schar

CB 2016/17 Lascelles

CB 2017/18 Lejeune

LB 2010/11 Enrique

CM 2014/15 Tiote

CM 2015/16 Wijnaldum

AM 2011/12 Ben Arfa

ST 2013/14 Remy

ST 2018/19 Rondon

 

Don't think Lascelles best season for us was 16/17. Clark was our best defender in the Championship

 

Also think Tiote best season for us was his first season rather than his last

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

 

This is pretty much it for me. Tough choice between Krul and Dubs, and Schar and Lascelles.

Yes, I'd pick Schar at RWB.

Krul, Coloccini & Cabaye 11/12 should 100% be in there. Don’t see how that’s even a debate if we’re doing individual seasons. :lol:

The individual season that I most clearly forgot to include in my team was Carroll (2010-31/1/2011). Ba was great in 2011-2012, but Carroll was completely unstoppable for a short period of time at the turn of the decade, a dominant force. It is a shame how the rest of the decade went for him.

I assume Perez is a player that everyone considers and then just about cuts out of their first choice 11. At least that was my thought process.

 

Yup, my favourite player for as long as I can remember, but I couldn't say he'd force his way into a team past HBA-Remy-Ba. Favourite so rarely means best - unless your favourite is Messi...
