Post by Newcastleclaret93 » Thu Apr 01, 2021 10:14 pm

With the latest era of players coming to the end of there careers what is your premier league era eleven?

Cech
Neville, Vidic, Terry, A Cole
Y Toure
gerrard, Lampard
Ronaldo, Henry, Hazard

The one thing that amazes me is just how many unbelievable players have played in this league

Schmeichel

Ivanovic, Hypia, Kompany, Ashley Cole

Ronaldo, Makelele, Scholes, David Silva

Bergkamp, Henry

That's my choice for now..

I might change my mind later :lol:

Bergkamp has to be in there, feels strange to leave Rooney out but so many of the worlds best strikers have played in the premier league.

I’m struggling RB, obviously LB picks itself. I’d probably pick Irwin before Gaz Nev

Ivanovic is a great shout, he was immense.

I just had to pick hazard, I’ve seen him play live twice and he was just another level to everyone else

I was going to have a go at this but seeing as I can only pick Ben Mee once it seems a pointless exercise :D

I nearly went with Gary Neville, but as good as he was, I just preferred Ivanovic.

Same with picking Hypia, it was either him, Desailly or Carvalho.

In regards to the winger, again I just prefer Silva, but it was tough with Giggs also a world class winger

Such a difficult one to answer. The best one is when you can only pick one player from each club. It makes it a little easier, strangely, because you don’t have to try and fit Bergkamp, Vieira, Scholes, Keane, Ronaldo, Rooney, van Nistelrooy, Henry, Pires and Giggs into the same XI!

Oh, and topically - Aguero has to feature somewhere. His record is phenomenal and if his current manager hadn’t decided his face didn’t fit I think he could very well have broken Shearer’s record.

During the lockdowns last year Carragher was regularly throwing those things up on Twitter.

Some really good choices, spectacular debates and some people who just didn't understand the question :lol:

———————-Schmeichel
—Neville—Ferdinand—Terry—Cole
—————Scholes———Gerrard
—Ronaldo——————————-Giggs
——————-Henry—-Shearer

Subs: Ederson, Vidic, Vieira, Lampard, Pires, Aguero, Kane

Interesting that I’ve ended up with seven English players, surprised myself there. Hard to not select so many players but I went with the players that I think really scream Premier League.

Difficult one this. However, how anyone can leave out the Premier league's all time top scorer in an all time best league is a bit daft really.

A team to actually win a match, not reward players who played the longest, won the most or scored the most goals:

Cech
Ivanovic Ferdinand Terry Cole
Makelele
De Bruyne Toure
Ronaldo Suarez Henry

That's exactly the 11 I would have selected so I've just quoted you instead! Shearer a no-brainer in my view.

In my honest opinion, anyone who DOESN’T have Schmeichel in goal, Scholes in midfield and Shearer up top has NO business posting anything on a football related message board.

All the other positions are up for grabs, and I could probably understand the reasons for your particular selection, but the spine HAS to be the three I suggest.

Image the goals Shearer would have scored had he played with the likes of De Bruyne, Hazard, Silva, Ronaldo rather than Stewart Ripley and Rob Lee.

Great question this,been some fantastic premier League players and it's hard to fit them in to a team.I would go 4-4-2.
GK-Schmeichel
RB-Zabaleta
CB-Terry
CB-Ferdinand
LB-A.Cole
MID-Ronaldo
MID-Scholes
MID-Keane
MID-Silva
FOR-Shearer
FOR-Henry
This team would take some beating.

Too difficult so for a bit of fun I've gone for a namesake XI. Taken from previously nominated players:

P Gerrard

P Neville
A Ferdinand
K Toure

N Henry
J Cole
B Silva
K Henry

L Ferdinand
C Cole
Robbie Keane

Too difficult to come up with 11 really but, and it will come as no surprise to people who know me, David Silva would be a definite for my team. I think I'd have our Paul in there too.
