BBC Radio Merseyside - Greatest PL Team Poll

[TippEverton]

Controversial but was Big Nev still world class in 1993?

His performance in the cup final two years after that was world class, so he definitely was on his day anyway.

Only Martyn could contest that spot for this vote, we've had some awful keepers in the premiership era.

No denying that mate. The flying banana at Wembley - what a game he had.

If only that bell end Peter Johnston hadn't have messed up signing Martyn some years earlier...

 

[Saint Domingo]

No way Distin should be in that team. Arteta Cahill midfield and Rooney Lukaku upto to finish it.

Thought weir was a great cb

 

[Charro]

Distin was brilliant.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Lescott was better than Distin ever was. People just don’t like him because of the way he left. Jags and Distin were actually a poor partnership, they were both reactive centrebacks so balls down the middle or crosses in the box they often struggled with as they seemed to wait for each other rather than be decisive. When Heitinga partnered either of them we looked more solid, equally when Distin and Stones played under Martinez we looked better (at first). Jags and Lescott in their peak though were a different level.

 

[Groucho]

I'd take Dave Watson over either Jags or Distin tbf, brilliant centre half Watson

I voted Watson

 

[Lloydystark]

Coleman ?

Brilliant player

Yep, never gets a mention for some reason

Martyn

Coleman
Weir
Jagielka
Baines

Kanchelskis
Speed
Arteta
Piennar

cahill

Lukaku

 

[boris]

Richarlison > Piennar.

One day we’ll all look back at this and feel a bit embarrassed that anyone even considered otherwise.

Imagine the goals for tally from a team containing 2 decent forwards along with Richarlison and Kanchelskis on each wing.

I really like that eleven. Every time this sort of stuff comes up Derek Mountfield comes into mind straight away, but then I remember that football
didn't start until 1992.

Peas n gravy.

 

[degsy]

Taking this very loosely of course, if they kicked a premier league ball theyr'e in.
On their best form, before any injuries, aka, fantasy Island stuff.

Southall
Coleman Jagielka Lescott Baines
Carsley (Capt.)
Arteta Pienaar...these 4 in a flexible diamond...or as a flat 4; Fellaini Arteta Carsley Pienaar*
Fellaini
Kanchelskis Rooney

*I mean theres no point in asking Andre to track back is there, but those 4 will. So when defending, put him on their last man on the halfway with Rooney on the edge of the box to pick it up and feed him.
Run forrest run
