[Lionel Messi]

Share your ideal all time Premier League XI for a specific CLUB.

I’m thinking from the 1992-93 season onwards.

I’m gonna start with Manchester United:

P.Schmeichel
G.Neville R.Ferdinand N.Vidic D.Irwin
C.Ronaldo R.Keane P.Scholes R.Giggs
E.Cantona
R.van Nistelrooy

Bench:
E.van der Sar, J.Stam, P.Evra, D.Beckham, W.Rooney​

 

[Lionel Messi]

Chelsea:

P.Cech
B.Ivanovic J.Terry R.Carvalho A.Cole
D.Wise C.Makelele F.Lampard
G.Zola E.Hazard
D.Drogba

Bench:
C.Cudicini, M.Desailly, M.Essien, F.Malouda, J.F.Hasselbaink​

 

[Lance Stoe]

Liverpool

Reina

Finnan Carragher Hyypia Bjornebye

Liverpool

Reina

Finnan Carragher Hyypia Bjornebye

Kuyt Alonso Gerrard McManaman

Fowler Suarez

Bench

Dudek
Arbeloa
Hamann
Coutinho
Torres

I think I have Fowler and Suarez keeping out Owen and Torres too. Fowler, their best natural finisher and Suarez, their most complete attacker.

My back four was the same apart from John Arne Riise instead of Bjornebye.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Arsenal

Seaman
Sagna
Adams
Campbell
Cole
Vieira
Fabregas
Ljungberg
Pires
Henry

Lehmann
Keown
Petit
Rosicky
van Persie

[AFCB_Mark]

Errr...this would be quite boring for us.... it's the squad we use now!
Matt Holland, Jamie Redknapp. and if we're allowed them Jermain Defoe and Rio Ferdinand all went on to have pretty good careers at this level after leaving us in the lower leagues. How I'd love someone like Matty Holland in our central midfield now.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Everton

Howard
Coleman
Jagielka
Unsworth
Baines
Arteta
Cahill
Osman
Beagrie
Rooney
Saha

As your Premier League history is limited post your ideal All-time Premier League/Championship/League 1 Bournemouth XI from 1992...

 

[Lionel Messi]

Man City

Ederson
Zabaleta
Kompany
Otamendi
Clichy
Fernandinho
Toure
D Silva
Kinkladze
Tevez
Aguero

I'd put Richard Dunne ahead of Otamendi without a doubt. It's too soon for Ederson too imho.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Fair enough with Dunne. I’ve seen enough in Ederson so far imo to say he is better than any keeper City have had in the PL era. Given would be the only realistic contender to replace him

I’ll let you have him if Ederson wins a title. My bad, when Ederson wins a title at just 24 years of age he should be there for a long time now. Certainly one of the most skilled keepers in the English league.

I’d personally give Joe Hart the nod for the sake of this thread though

Newcastle fans will probably have different opinions on this, to be honest there's quite a bit of choice...

GK - Shay Given
DF - Warren Barton
DF - Phillipe Albert
DF - Steve Howey
DF - John Beresford
MF - Nobby Solano
MF - Gary Speed
MF - Rob Lee
MF - David Ginola
ST - Andy Cole
ST - Alan Shearer

Bench: Pavel Srnicek, Steve Watson, Jonas Gutierrez, Laurent Robert, Les Ferdinand

Brilliant selection. I think the midfield picks itself - quality midfielders including two special wingers. The two up top aren’t too bad either!

 

[Lionel Messi]

No Woodgate??

Why should Woodgate be worthy of a Newcastle United selection?
More of a backup Leeds United XI option

 

[Gaz12321]

No Woodgate??

Woodgate had one season there hence why I left him out, think the others are more deserving to be honest.

 

[Abertawe]

I honestly believe the below is the GOAT. If anyone could comprise a team to beat it I'd love to see it.

De Gea
Neville ------Rio -- Stam -----Heinze
Pogba Scholes Keane
Beckham----------------------------Giggs
Ronaldo

Subs
Irwin
Vidic
Veron
Butt
Kanchelskis
Cantona
Cole


​

 

[Lance Stoe]

The Arsenal side I posted would beat it

 

[Lance Stoe]

West Ham

Miklosko
Potts
R Ferdinand
Reid
S Pearce
Carrick
Parker
Sinclair
J Cole
Tevez
Di Canio

​

I do not think Pogba or Veron are fit for inclusion

Why do you rank Heinze ahead of Irwin and Evra too?

De Gea's Manchester United career ahead of both Schmeichel and van der Sar?

Great to see Kanchelskis' name though. Steve Bruce sadly just missed out on the final cut of my squad too.

 

[Lionel Messi]

The Arsenal side I posted would beat it

Without a doubt

 

[Abertawe]

The Arsenal side I posted would beat it

No it wouldn't. The majority of united players I've selected used to smash arsenal time & time again - the same arsenal that featured your best selections. Good team is yours - perhaps even technically better - it wouldn't stand up to 90 against with dogs like Stam, Heinze, Keane, Pogba - delivery of Beckham - scholes killing it and Giggs linking with Ronaldo. No way. This team is the perfect balance of tenacious killers and technical wizards.
