Cicero Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Duration at the club, overall talent, contribution to success, club products, etc. All factors should be considered and analysed to the best of your ability. (Obviously this will be very objective) Chelsea All Time XI Jimmy Greaves----Didier Drogba Eden Hazard------------------------------Gianfranco Zola Frank Lampard-----Claude Makelele Ashley Cole----John Terry----Ron Harris----Steve Clarke Petr Cech
Administrator Stan Posted February 14, 2018 Administrator Posted February 14, 2018 Kasper Schmeichel Danny Simpson - Wes Morgan - Matt Elliott - Christian Fuchs Riyad Mahrez --- N'Golo Kante - Muzzy Izzet - Steve Guppy Jamie Vardy --- Emile Heskey Subs: Kasey Keller or Ian Walker Marc Albrighton Steve Walsh Neil Lennon Shinji Okazaki Danny Drinkwater Andy King All purely based on players I've seen play for the club. Otherwise there are players like Peter Shilton, Gordon Banks, Frank Worthington, Arthur Chandler, Arthur Rowley, Keith Weller ( @Bluewolf will remember these from his youth) and Gary Lineker etc who would have been included in some way, shape or form. To be honest, it's hard not to just name the regular starting XI who won the league for us but I've included some players who are still my favourites (Muzzy Izzet and Emile Heskey) as they were part of the squad at a time where I first supported the club and showed true loyalty to the club despite highs and lows in the late 90s. Those 2 are classed as pure legends of the club simply because they helped us reach the heights never reached before - winning trophies somewhat regularly as well as getting us in to Europe at that time too. The same can be said of more recent/current players - clearly obvious to see who they are as some are still with the club. Schmeichel, Mahrez, Vardy & Kante speak for themselves. Wes Morgan had to be included as although not the best ever defender, you have to take in to account he played something like 3 years worth of football non-stop, not missing a minute of any matches through injury and that included 2 summer tournaments last summer. Andy King gets a mention ahead of Esteban Cambiasso, as well. The latter obviously is one of the most decorated footballers ever but sentimentality took over by including King. Been mentioned several times what he's been through with us. One of the highest appearances for the club, one of the highest scoring midfielders ever at our club, experienced the lows of League One to scoring vital goals on the way to Premier League success. That turned out tougher to do than I expected!
True Blue Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Peter Osgood-----Bobby Tambling-----Gianfranco Zola Frank Lampard----Dennis Wise----John Hollins Ashley Cole------------John Terry------Ron Harris----------Steve Clarke Peter Bonnetti Also this is the list that i feel was the all time XI, not in particular my favorite side. Maybe we could make a thread for that one as well. Note that Hollins started as midfielder, but played full back for the club too but i had to add him.
Asura Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Picked only the players I remember watching them play. Cant think of a decent right back, might update it later Lehmann RB Campbell Koscielny Cole Pires Vieira Rosicky Alexis Bergkamp Henry

I was very new to football back then, dont have enough memories/knowledge of many other players than the obvious superstars like Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira, etc. I could think of Eboue, Sagna and Bellerin as the only right backs from my memory but not sure who to pick.

But the best part of this video is where Gervinho gets roasted when asked for "who is the best looking in the team"
...Dan Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Rosicky? Over Ljungberg, Petit, Fabregas, Gilberto, Santi Cazorla... @Asura
LFCMike Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Just based on the players I've seen myself: Reina Finnan Carragher Hyypia Arbeloa Alonso Mascherano McManaman Gerrard Suarez Torres

Inverted Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Going by my lifetime (so mid-1990s). It's too boring to just name the 1967 side with Larsson and Tommy Burns chucked in. Fraser Forster Lustig - Mjallby - Van Dijk - Tierney Brown - Lambert - Lennon Petrov - Nakamura Larsson

HK85 Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Just now, LFCMike said: 27, why? Just wondering, all pretty recent players. Surprised there's no Fowler.

I could have gone for Fowler or even Owen over Torres as they were great over a longer period and obviously won more but for a couple of years Torres was better than anything I'd seen in a Liverpool forward until Suarez came along.
True Blue Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 As we are all doing from our days (what we watched) gonna redo it, also clearly not the best but my own personal favorites. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink-----Eidur Gudjohnsen Michael Essien----Frank Lampard----Dennis Wise---Gianfranco Zola Graeme Le Saux------------John Terry------Marcel Desailly----------Branislav Ivanović Carlo Cudicini/Petr Cech

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted February 14, 2018 Subscriber Posted February 14, 2018 In my lifetime Howard Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Baines Cahill Arteta Fellaini Osman Lukaku Saha But that teams so average I'm sure I've forgotten multiple obvious players.

If we did one for our all time XI beyond our lifetimes though, there's probably only 3 that I've actually seen play for us. Ian Rush, John Barnes and Stevie. But I only caught the tail end of Rush and Barnes.
Lucas Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Best XI in my lifetime. -------------------------------Nigel Martyn ------Rio Ferdinand - Lucas Radebe - Jonathon Woodgate ------------------------------Olivier Dacourt Lee Bowyer - Gary McAllister - Gary Speed - Harry Kewell --------------------Tony Yeboah - Mark Viduka Subs - Gary Kelly, David Batty, Ian Harte, Gordon Strachan, Rod Wallace, Eric Cantona, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, If it was all time, I doubt there would be many players post mid 70's in there, if any. That team was insanely good but I couldn't appreciate in my lifetime sadly.
