Off Topic Just saying like

You missed Paul Pogba and Eric Djemba Djemba before Lampard.

 

So what's De Gea doing in there instead of Cech (3 Pls and Cl to 1 measly PL?)

 

I was gonna put Robbie Flower in there too mate but I felt like emotions were still a bit raw after you flogged him to Leeds cos they were the bigger team

 

Fortunately I am not bound by a big-team bias... therefore;

Best ever PL FB - Lloyd Doyley

Best ever PL CM - Tom Cleverley (although considered Etienne Capoue - much better than Pogba)

Best ever PL Striker - Heider Helguson

Just my totally unbiased view. I can also suggest goalkeepers, centre-backs and wingers too

 

I could have put Cech but his career has turned into an embarrassment now, although I concede your point he probably deserves to be there.

 

Ok so they have to be champions to be the best then?

Gone full circle here

 

My point was that due to repeated and sustained success of Manchester United in the Premier League, the list of all-time Premier League greats is likely to include a proportionate quantity of ex-Man United players.

It's important to remain realistic, whilst attempting to be subjective

 

You're talking about Ashley Cole, I assume?

 

Man U had a lot of very good players in support of each other back in the day , while other teams had a great player or two while trying to put together a team with not so good players. Apples and oranges comparisons really ,

 

No, I'm not.

 

Based on performances in this league.

GKs
1) Cech
2) Schmeichel
3) De Gea

RBs
1) Neville
2) Dixon
3) ****ing hell - Lauren? Unless I've missed someone obvious, there's been a lack of right backs.

CBs
1) Stam
2) Ferdinand
3) Terry

LBs
1) Cole
2) Evra
3) Irwin

RMs
1) Ronaldo
2) Ljungberg
3) Beckham

CMs
1) Gerrard
2) Lampard
3) Viera

LMs
1) Bale
2) Giggs
3) Hazard

STs
1) Henry
2) Suarez
3) Bergkamp

Would mean my 4-4-2 would be

Cech
Neville Stam Ferdinand Cole
Ronaldo Gerrard Lampard Bale
Henry Suarez​

 

I'd have Beckam over Ljungberg, Vieira over Lampard and van Nistelrooy over Shearer.

 

good shout forgot about bale

 

Looking at AKCJ's I would agree on having Bale over Pires too.

 

Considered Becks but thought it'd make my selections look biased.

 

Trust me, that's quite hard to do

 

Can I ask why?

 

Aside from the obvious, that I'm biased and think Ruud is better, can't you spot the joke?

Honestly?

 

I could/maybe should have put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in ahead of Shearer.

 

But that sustained success was yonks ago and it's already been four years since you've been anywhere near a premier league trophy.
