The last season he had at Liverpool I reckon was the best season by any player in the Premier League ever, some of the goals he scored were amazing Is he though? He is not even the best centre forward of his generation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I'm probably most surprised Kaka didn't make any of these teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All better strikers than Suarez Suarez is far better than Drogba imo. Drogba was a great man for a big game but had loads of ordinary seasons. In fact, I'd put Suarez ahead of Aguero, Villa and Van Persie too, and on a par with Lewandowski. He wouldn't get near my lifetime XI though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I think Suarez Aguero thing has been well decided for a long time. Both score goals, Suarez gives far more to the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 It would be interesting to put up a GOAT thread where you actually had to balance out the squad in the correct positions, i.e. you can't just pick Messi, Maradona, Ronaldo because it's not sure it would actually suit a given tactic. In fact I'm pretty sure you can't have more than one of them in one team unless you use Cristiano Ronaldo as an out and out striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could work but would need a workhorse of a centre forward who isnt afraid to not score goals like a Heskey, Mandzukic or Firmino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 And also say, and I know this is probably very very controversial, but Gazza, Scholes and Henry are to me some of the best players I've ever seen. Just exceptional. I love it when I see players have the "British" graft and at the same time have the continental flair. It's rare, but it makes me all warm and fuzzy.

They want the ball and expect it. Maybe you are right, but just can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 At the end of the day we just pick the best players in their individual positions, not necessarily the best team. Gazza the most gifted English player in my lifetime. George Best the most naturally gifted British player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
