Premier League at 25: the best XI, from Petr Cech to Thierry Henry

[Exiled_red]

Gary Neville is the best RB (Someone mentioned Irwin, close 2nd IMO) and John Terry best CB without question. Not the most popular characters but IMO they would and should be in most people's choices. Schmeichel is the best keeper the league has ever seen so bit baffled to why he isn't there either.

I always said that Gary Neville only had so many England caps because of Rob Jones injuries, IMO Neville would have had to play backup to Jones for a long time at international level if Jones would have stayed fit. Obviously Jones injuries meant that didn't happen and Neville had a long run regarded as the best RB in the country.

I know he could play both full back positions but I always thought of Irwin at a LB

I agree Schmeichel should be in there.

I am surprised that the English bias hasn't put people like Terry in but IMO he doesn't deserve to be in. To be honest i think that Adams has benefited from it in this case. The other bias in midfield is towards attacking players Keane rarely makes these teams because people favour players who score goals.

Keane was outstanding to be fair. Lampard just scored goals, I thought he was quite boring.

Ferdinand and Hyypia in central defence. Cole at left back (Irwin was nearly in).

Can't be ****ed actually..

I like the team though.

I just couldn't put Neville in as I didn't like him as a player. Remember I was in Old Trafford n he runs over to our fans giving is the fingers n stuff. Don't blame him but dislike for it.

Same with Keane anyone who goes out to deliberatly injure a player is not for me.

Agree with the formation but would make the above changes.

I feel dirty after adding 3 United players.....

[Exiled_red]

I know I dislike both as players but I don't think that Terry and Ferdinand are the best centre backs to play in the PL

[ChesterDave]

Reina
Jones hyypia carragher bjornabye
Gerrard mascherano alonso
Suarez torres couthino

A bit liberal on positions but **** it.

I haven't done a team but i'd have them two in it, I think its a balance between great technically and what they have achieved in the league. I'd say it puts them top.
