Devil 1,179 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Simple really, this isn't about the best XI of all time it's your personal XI of all time, players you watched throughout your life and they entertained you so much you loved watching them play. Catch must have seen them play live, either in the flesh or TV. No old footage just live matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpache 672 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Did this on Twitter a while ago. Only one I haven't seen of these is Chumpitaz, but I had to include him for external reasons. In subs I would have Tim Cahill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpache 672 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Add Pirlo to my subs as well. I was torn between Hamsik or Pirlo but I experienced Hamsik at his fullest potential, so it had to be him, even if he's slightly out of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil 1,179 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 So many I missed off who you would say are better players but I loved some of these players as a kid. I'd spend my days practicing the chip Suker scored on Schmeichel over and over, just an amazing goal. Romario made scoring a goal look like putting a ball on a golf hole from 1 inch.

If you want someone I've seen though I'll go with one of Puyol, Alberto Rodriguez or Pepe. Can't really decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suker is not a common one but an interesting choice. The star for Croatia way before all these new players we all recognize. The original golden generation. Can't say I know much more than just stories though. I was too young and didn't get to see the old games involving Croatia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too young and didn't get to see the old games involving Croatia. I'd say a fantastic goalscorer, he was from the old Yugoslavia before it broke up. Had an amazing ability to score goals with the outside of his foot and always turned up in the big games for his country. Had a weird stint at Arsenal when he was all but finished but a world cup golden boot and a career of many goals he was certainly a top top striker.

For me personally easily the best all round player that has ever lived. But that's my personal opinion, he was big strong yet he seem to glide around the pitch and control the ball like a bull fighter drawing in a bull.

Dr. Gonzo 8,199 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 My own personal favourite XI? I’ll try to exclude current LFC players just to make it more internet to maybe.

Whiskey 1,192 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Players that I have physically seen live, I've not included any Everton players to remove bias. Some players not might be in their natural positions but went for a 4-4-2 which explains why they are where they are. The game that I saw them is after the name, except if I've just seen them against Everton as part of my years having a ST. I've seen the England NT too, but to be honest nobody from that squad would get near the names below ! GK: Petr Cech (Chelsea) RB: Gary Neville (Manchester United vs. Derby County) CB: John Terry (Chelsea) CB: Nemanja Vidic (Manchester United) LB: Jordi Alba (Barcelona vs. Bilbao/Betis) RM: Eden Hazard (Chelsea) CM: Frank Lampard (Chelsea) CM: Roy Keane (Manchester United vs. Derby County) LM: Robert Pires (Arsenal) RW: Messi (Barcelona vs. Bilbao/Betis) LW: Neymar (Barcelona vs. Athletic Bilbao) ST: C. Ronaldo (Manchester United) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
