Moyes All-Time XI

[Marcus Kendall]

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

Pretty accurate assessment. Fellaini played mostly as a number 10 under Moyes though so it's more a choice of Fellaini or Cahill

1. Nigel Martyn. Coleman. Baines. Stones. Branthwaite. Garner, Arteta, Piennar, Lukaku, Grealish, N'diaye, forgot about Rooney and Rodriguez they are on the bench alongside Lescott, Gough, Fernandes, Barkley, Mirallas, Pickford, Jagielka

* As pointed out to me Lukaku was pre Moyes, so Lukaku out Rooney in.

Don’t know how you can have watched Pickford for the last 3/4 years and still put Nigel Martyn in.

Probably an argument to be made a couple of years ago, but not any more.

Agreed. If Nigel had had 5-6 more years it might be viable.

As I said it's all about opinions, it was very close fir me but I feel controlling you're box is do important about being a goalkeeper. That's why Neville Southall was the best ever for me.

I'm sure Moyes signed him.

He did but I thought this was a Best XI from across Moyes’ spells at the club? How can you include a player that didn’t play a second under him?

 

[DanB90]

Pickford
Baines Branthwaite Jagielka Coleman
Fellaini Arteta
Pinenaar Cahill Ndiaye
Yakubu
​

I’ve put Yakubu instead of Rooney, as I feel like Rooneys best seasons were at another club and Yak was immense for a season or 2.

Also could’ve made a case for Lescott over Branthwaite, but it was pretty much a coin flip.

Surely to god that’s not Rodriguez as in James Rodriguez is it?!?

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

All I can say is, if you don't have Baines in there then you're not to be trusted with anything, ever.

The only season he played the whole season as the 10 was his last one, when Cahill had left. Before that he played deeper with Cahill behind the striker.

Although tbf in the cup final season there was the period when all the strikers were injured so we had the 4-6-0 with Cahill and Fellaini pushing up.

Not enough defenders

Jagielka

Yobo Weir Stubbs Lescott

Coleman Neville Unsworth Naysmith

[EFC_FRANCIS]

I’m sure this’ll spark some debate.

What on earth is that. Looks like something a WUM would put together

 

[Joey66]

I’m sure this’ll spark some debate.

No Cahill ?????????

 

[Walken]

Pickford

Good to hear he and Jose Baxter recently slapped slippy G around in the ol' paddle ball...always showed up for the derby, Tim.

 

[TonyT65]

Jagielka

Yobo Weir Stubbs Lescott

Coleman Neville Unsworth Naysmith

You just know that is the exact selection away at Old Trafford, Mordor, Emirates and Stamford Bridge.
Best pen knives to the gun fight.
