All time best EPL team?

Purdy · 30 Jan 2011 at 14:26

-----Schmeichel----
Neville Adams Carra Cole
Ronaldo Gerrard Scholes Giggs
Henry Torres

(Probably RVN in for Torres with my red tinted glasses off)

The team i'd like to actually see play though would be

Reina
Neville Adams Carra Cole
Ronaldo Alonso Scholes Giggs
Gerrard
Torres

I know he is fast and tricky, but surely not THAT fast !

Could we not say that of many "top" players though? Arent we picking people based on their prime, not on their gone missing games?

Well no not really, your Zola's, Cantona's, Henry's all did it game in game out bar the odd few.

Le Tissier for all his skill and panache will always be known for being a lazy **** who should have done better with his talent. Something you can't aim at any of those I have mentioned.

You only need to look at who was getting in the England team ahead of LeTiss to see what I mean

Ok, fair enough. I wouldnt include Le Tiss then.

I did that when typing out the first team too, meant giggs /sigh

G|mp · 30 Jan 2011 at 14:37

I was laughing at Carragher

Is my opinion wrong or pointing out Ronaldos so good he can play twice ;o?

EDIT: Jesus you're good, knew my post before i ****ing made it.
I'd take Carra 2005, although i guess playing back to the wall defending that team won't do.
Oh well, opinions are opinions (secretly i'd prefer Hyypia but probably get slaughtered for that too ;D)

Your opinion can't be wrong, it's your opinion.

It was the fact you included Carragher as one of the best defenders the Premier League has seen

dante6491 · 30 Jan 2011 at 14:40

I am surprised at the lack of love for Robert Pires.

GK David Seaman
LB Ashley Cole
CB Tony Adams
CB John Terry
RB Gary Neville
LW Robert Pires
CM Stevie Gerrard
CM Roy Keane
CM Patrick Viera
RW Ronaldo
CF Thierry Henry

Yes there is a strong Arsenal spine but four of them were invincibles, which in terms of the EPL was the best side there has been.

Personally i find that inclusion of Rio in some teams quite funny

Not at all, he's a better defender than Carragher, still not as good as Ferdinand, Vidic, Adams, Keown, Stam, Carvalho...................

Nilsson

Nilsson, Nilsson, Nilsson, Nilsson

Nilsson, Nilsson, Nilsson, Waddle

Nilsson, Hirst.

Pretty much, bar sticking Ronaldo in there.

To suggest players from any other team is laughable.

Not even Shearer?

Probably a good idea to play it safe and have Nilsson, Nilsson and Nilsson on the bench too

Oh aye I remember him displacing Ferdinand in the England team

I remember him bottling it when an unfit Woodgate was preferred to him

Tummy · 30 Jan 2011 at 14:44

Legend.

I'd have Pressman on the bench.

Wouldn't count play for ingurland as a success over another player myself, thought this was based on club.

Must admit I really liked Hyppia...and he was one of those players that just came from nowhere if you know what I mean. When he signed , I was like..who the hell is Hyppia?? Its not too often that you get a player that next to nobody has heard of who turns out to be that good. (Vidic is another like that)
