[mahermi1]

Lukaku was post-Moyes under Brown Shoes and Koeman.

Damn ! Good spot matey , that's it Lukaku out Rooney in.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Pickford
Coleman
Baines
Jagielka
Branthwaite
Garner
Arteta
Cahill
McNeil
Ndiaye
Rooney

 

[Iana]

Pickford
Coleman
Baines
Jagielka
Lescott
Carsley
Arteta
Pienaar
Ndiaye
Rooney
Yakubu

I was torn between Lescott and Branthwaite but Lescott’s goal threat got him the nod.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Did John Stones ever play under Moyes? Signed by him but not too sure he can be put in his best 11

Don't think so.

 

[Lanolin]

Course it can, I’m just saying the criteria isn’t exactly complicated. “Have you played for Moyes yes/no”

To be fair the original post complicates it slightly because the answer would be 'No' for Stones but he's in the team that Myers has picked!

As always with these things there's the question of whether you're picking the best players who ever played under him or the players who played best under him. If it's the former then Rooney is a given and pretty much the first name on the teamsheet, if it's the latter then he probably barely makes the bench.

Van der Meyde was probably the only specialist right winger he's ever had

Royston Drenthe says hello…

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Royston Drenthe says hello

Wasn't he more a left winger?

Gravesen ahead of Fellaini

nah, prime Fellaini was almost unplayable at times. I remember him in a game against city, he was immense, pirouetting on the halfway line and driving gorward. He was also able to play further up and cause havoc in the box. He was a handful.
Gravesen probably the better technical footballer btu Fellaini better overall

 

[Iana]

Wasn't he more a left winger?

I seem to remember him playing on the right but could not be absolutely certain.

He was certainly “left field” off the pitch.

Van der Meyde was probably the only specialist right winger he's ever had

When we had Pienaar on the left with Baines, sure we had Mirallas on the right wing for quite a while.

 

[John from Bootle]

Van der Meyde was probably the only specialist right winger he's ever had

True, but whilst not being a specialist right winger, Arteta was brilliant out there for us a while. Until he did his ACL if memory serves.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Mirallas wasn't a specialist winger but more of a versatile one who played all over the front line

 

[Ruairi77]

Gotta be something along the lines of this, give or take one or two…

Pickford

Coleman
Jagielka
Branthwaite
Baines

Ndiaye
Arteta
Fellaini
Pienaar
Cahill

Rooney

I think this team, all at the same time in their prime, is a league challenger

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Yeah he was brilliant for a couple of seasons playing wide despite being a central midfielder by trade

 

[mahermi1]

Mirallas wasn't a specialist winger but more of a versatile one who played all over the front line

Yeah he was all over the front line during a game, very versatile but was definitely named on the right with Pienaar on the left.
