paulie8290

Since the Soccer Saturday presents have done their one 2 eleven(any player who has played in the premier league) I wondered who everyone on here would pick for me its:

Peter Schmeichel

Gary Neville
Jamie Carragher
John Terry
Graeme Le Saux

David Beckham
Steven Gerrard
Patrick Vieira
Marc Overmars(Most underrated player in premier league history)

Alan Shearer
Ruud van Nistelrooy

WelshAddick

Great player just think Shearer and Ruud had slightly more
same as Zola just missing out

Callumcafc

Is there a reason you picked Le Saux at left back?

ValleyGary

If you think Van Nistelrooy had more than Henry then I don't wanna play

Again people go on about Cole and Evra and also miss Le Saux who i think was a very good left back

People go on about Cole because he's was one of the best left backs in the world. I don't even think Le Saux was the best left back in London!!!

Callumcafc

Petr Cech (5 in 10 PL games kept a clean sheet compared to Schmeichel's 4 in 10)

Pablo Zabaleta (G.Nev the best defender in this position but low contribution going forward)
Tony Adams
Rio Ferdinand
Ashley Cole

Patrick Vieira
Roy Keane

Cristiano Ronaldo
Dennis Bergkamp
Thierry Henry

Alan Shearer

stackitsteve

Le Saux wasn't even the best left back in his own house.

Talal

No Henry, Bergkamp or Zola and you've got Le Saux. No xmas pud for you tomorrow Paulie

North Lower Neil

Schmeichel
Irwin, Ferdinand, Terry, Cole
Keane, Vieira
Ronaldo, Scholes, Henry
Shearer.

Was tempted by Drogba and Neville over Shearer and Irwin, but Shearer was virtually unplayable at times in the Blackburn years.

Ross

Schmeichel

G Neville Ferdinand Terry Cole

Lampard Scholes Giggs

Bergkamp

Henry Shearer

Some of the players that have to be left out is ridiculous!

Cech, Vidic, Kompany, Keane, Vieira, Beckham, Gerrard, Ronaldo, Di Canio, Zola, Van Nistelrooy, Cantona to name but a few. There's more I haven't even though of. Even Andy Cole for his goal scoring record!

Garrymanilow

Graeme Le Saux?? Whatever he paid you to put him in Paulie, it wasn't worth it

Irwin at right back?

GRAEME LE SAUX
Despite spending two spells at Chelsea, it was at Blackburn Rovers where the Jersey-born full-back won his only Premier League title. Well, this was the pre-Roman Abramovich era, after all. Came in for more than his fair share of stick from fans and players (Robbie Fowler springs to mind) for being a bit of an academic, but more than 300 Premier League appearances and 36 England caps proved he was just as canny on the pitch as off it.
Appearances: 327
Titles: 1994-95
PFA Team of the Year: 1994-95, 1997-98

Carragher....no

I would have your team but put in Viera for bergkamp - I need a bit of grit in midfield.

Quality. Another post that I want to both like and lol.

As for the discussions on Graeme Le Saux, I saw somewhere the other day that he holds the record for most assists in the Prem League for a defender - just saying, not that I think he is the best left-back and I can hardly remember watching him play.

Pedro45

Schmeichel
Zabaleta Kompany Stam Powell
Viera Scholes Keane
Ronaldo Shearer Henry

Callumcafc

Stam is a very good pick, would probably sub him into my team for Rio Ferdinand. Also probably Scholes would be better than Keane but that's a close one.

Addick Addict

Schmeichel

Irwin Adams Ferdinand Cole

Vieira Gerard

Ronaldo Bergkamp Henry

Shearer

Yeah, he played there too, and was right footed but was so good he played left back for years for one of the best teams in Europe.

Yeah, but 100 caps prove Ashley Cole was a lot better, for one?

C_Jensens_Love_Child

So many factors of to consider whilst choosing this that it becomes impossible, take Ronaldo, the Ronaldo of the last 3-4 years for me is the greatest player ever, but the Ronaldo of the United era would get in my team but by no way would be a gaurantee. So I'm picking my team on there performances in the premiership whilst factoring in what they achieved (individually and as players in teams) and over a decent period of time, I'm also not going to cheat like some and play players in different positions to where they played.

Schmichel
Neville Terry Ferdinand Cole
Ronaldo Keane Viera Giggs
Bergkamp
Henry

PS Still impossible

there's just another possible team and still some many players in with a shout left out.

Given
Finnan Adams Stam Irwin
Beckham Gerrard Fabregas Pires
Saurez
Shearer

There's actually no competition and the inclusion of Carragher for me makes me think he's gone for the controversial effect and got it, if he remembers Le Saux then he must remember players like Adams, Bruce, Bould, Stam, Campbell who were all better centre backs.

Dave2l

Ferdinand not the sharpest tool in the shed. Emit him I'd say.

Absurdistan

Van Der Sar
Ivanovic Adams Terry Cole
Ronaldo Makelele Toure Bale
Cantona Aguero

JiMMy 85

Rio and Sol were the best defensive partnership I've seen for England, which would be enough for me to justifiably not pick that **** Terry. Hell I even drop him from football video games.

Also, I don't think Le Saux is that bad a shout, albeit tainted by the following claim that RvN was better than Henry.
