Blueboy Downunder Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I am sorry if this has been done before or if we have had different variations, but just chatting with my mate at the moment and we are having a right good chat about who makes our best rovers 11, since the premier league started. what do you all think??

joey_big_nose Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 It does come up a lot but it is always interestning becuase new players come through. For me: ---------Shearer---Bellamy Duff-------Tugay----Sherwood----Bentley Le Saux----Hendry--Nelsen---Niell -------------------Freidel Subs: Flowers, Berg, Batty, Sutton, Cruz Only 4 of the PL winning side in the starting XI... I think that may be indicative of just how much the standard of Prem football has increased over the years. Players like Sherwood were outstanding for us in 1995 but in todays game? Imagine if Tugay had arrived at Ewood five years earlier. He would have been considered one of the Prems all time greats. No one would have touched him the league interms of talent except possibly Cantona and a couple others. The post Bergkamp era is a different kettle of fish.

S15 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Nelsen over Berg is a big bad shout. You should carry a warning sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyeo Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Very very tough one. I have almost the exact same lineup as Joey, except that i would replace neill with berg (ok i know he played the vast majority for us at centreback but he has played at right back so it counts! ). neill doesnt get a spot on my bench too, because I have to find someway to sneak matty in. hence i'll consider sutton as a makeshift centreback, and insert jansen in there. was really torn between putting jansen or bellers in the starting line up though.

joey_big_nose Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Nelsen over Berg is a big bad shout. You should carry a warning sir! Nelsen had a bad period when he was playing for us while injured but apart from that he has been utterly outstanding for Rovers. Berg was excellent also, but I would say it is a tight call. PlasticHead- how can you not have Tugay in the side. Or even on the bench?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherwood and Warhust played in a team that won the league remember..... Tuggs was a great player but needed someone to do the leg work for him. Santa Cruz will be in that bunch if he has another year like this. Bentley getting close too but Stuart Ripley would take some dislodging on the right.

Blueboy Downunder Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 still discussing this with my mate even now anyway....i think tim flowers was very very good for us, but brad gets the nod because he has performed for rovers over a longer period of time than tim flowers. defensively i think henning has been our best right back for many years, with colin hendry and henchoz in the middle and le saux on the other side of them. for me, stuart ripley was and is better than bents, at this stage, although bents has time on his side. tuges and sherwood in the middle with the duffer wide left. i think shearer has to be in there simply because he was and is a rovers legend...and his strike partner is roque santa cruz.

I see where your coming from. But I guess the quality of players in the last ten years or so in the Premiership has increased dramatically. The champions of '95 (or indeed the Man Utd side of '94) were a brilliant team but it's hard to feel that they would do so well in the league today. Maybe thats modern bias though.
