Dave J Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 I have just given my head a wobble - I clean forgot about Merse I think I am taking out Ray Graydon from the starting 11 slotting in Merse and replacing Gareth with Ray on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Deano and when his name got chanted it was awesome but Shaw for me is the most naturally gifted striker I have seen in a Villa shirt - but nevertheless a really great pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 McGrath ahead of Laursen with Barry, Bosnich, Milner and Yorke all tying for 3rd at the moment in terms of popularity (Subs and honourable mentions included, it's all good) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cizzler Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Can’t speak for before the late 90s - but I always find the sheer lack of quality we’ve had at right back always comes to light when this topic crops up. Teams with Luke Young and Delaney, both solid pros and wouldn’t let you down, sure. But compared to the players we’ve had at centre back (McGrath, Laursen, Mellberg, Southgate) or up front (Yorke, Benteke, etc), it just strikes me as a little odd. I actually think Kyle Walker is the best I’ve seen at VP at RB. No longevity obviously (which will count against him for this) and was still raw, but was excellent for that season and cropped up with a couple of goals too.

sheepyvillian Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 No Pongo Waring. Shame on us all. Another surprise exclusion, so far, Tony Dorigo, incidentally, was he a left or right back ? Without doubt, a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosnich 2. Gidman 3. Gibson 4. Laursen 5. McGrath 6. Cropley. 7. Graydon. 8. Shaw. 9. Gray. 10. Sid 11. Morley subs= Withe. Saunders. Yorke. Little. Southgate. this was hard so many top players I had to overlook Cropley was an interesting choice for me......I loved to watch him .....a technician with a tackling bite of a cobra. what a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I made the same reflection, it was hard coming up with a RB. I totally forgott about Walker, he was really good the half a season he was here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Well, although I liked Villa for about 14 years now, I wasnt really following up well since then. So from where I begin following up regulary I'd say: For the last couple of years im really not sure who was the best keeper but i'd say Friedel Walker Vlaar Dunne Barry Downing Milner Delph Young Gabby Benteke Dunne, Gabby, Friedel are replacable. And Im talking about them at their best seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
