Devil-Dick Willie Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It's the back end of the 2019 season. So football for the decade is in its twilight. I'd like to see everyone construct a first team (and bench if they wish) of the players who performed the best for their club this decade 2010-2019. I think it's an interesting exercise and a fun bit of nostalgia. Club: Werder Bremen Coach of the decade. You were all fucking shit but we haven't sacked Kohfeldt yet so bam!

IgnisExcubitor Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 We have struggled or underachieved this decade (bar that one season under Rodgers) until Klopp took over. So, most of the current team will feature in this.

Devil-Dick Willie Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Picking a player who was never the same again after a 2010/11 injury and single footedly cost you your first ever premier league title is a.... bold call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Thought I needed to fit Torres in here but the 2010 cutoff actually makes this a challenge.... ------------------------Reina--------------------- Johnson----Agger---Van Dijk---Robertson Henderson--------Gerrard-----------Coutinho Salah-----------------Firmino-------------Suarez Not sure Carra was really that up there in 2010+, and although Johnson was pretty flawed he was also a decent and serviceable RB and an England first teamer.

Vegan Kel Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I started this and realised we've literally had no decent fullbacks in this period. The centrebacks were all past their best too or just abysmal signings. I don't think I could bring myself to put cunts like Rafael in the team for the sake of it. All I know is that the players we've had in this period are an embarrassment to the club and it started long before Fergie packed in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Blue Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I wanted to include Dave but Ivanović and Cole were in the club longer and achieved more. Kante is a good shout, plus excellent add in Mata and Costa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted February 13, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted February 13, 2019 A couple of tough choices and a bunch of no brainers. If Kroos had hung around longer it would have been hard to leave him out.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted February 14, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted February 14, 2019 I do think Morgan has been exposed a bit since then but he did pretty much everything he could that year. We built a system that maximised the strengths of our players and patched over the limitations, obviously the biggest part of this was Kante who pretty much allowed us to be able to keep a compact back four whenever. I honestly do think you could put us not kicking on afterwards as simply as saying we didn't try and sign a like for like replacement. Our recruitment was abysmal with the money wasted but the scandal really was not trying to get in somebody like him. Walsh taking Gueye to Everton I'm convinced was a huge blow for us as Ranieri never actually wanted Kante in the first place, so it wasn't really his doing. But yeah as for Morgan, he's limited but as stated he was basically all we needed for the system we played. A centre half who's entire game was about blocking and tackling and not about pace or quality on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
