Palfy Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Being bored I started thinking about the players I’d seen who also played for England, and come up with what I consider my best team. You also need to try to put them in the positions they played. West Stevens. Watson. Labone. Baines. Steven. Reid. Ball. Harvey. Latchford. Rooney.

Absolutely brilliant keeper.... should have been signed years before but he was kept waiting at park hampers. If he was around now he would be the best in the prem.

Palfy Posted May 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 We’ve had some world class English talent play for us over the decades, how dare anyone say we are not a big club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the FA cup game Palace v Utd he made a double save to rival Banks against Pele, imo better but that’s just my opinion before I get slaughtered.

Gazza is an all time England great IMO but he’s not the same player who played for us so I left him out In Hafs formation I would honestly have gone with Leon Osman ahead of Gazza MikeO and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was a brilliant goally... no bravado or acrobatics... a brilliant keeper who was probably closer to schmichael in levels than schmichael was to Southall in levels. But Joe public seems to think schmichael is the best keeper we've seen in the English top flight Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 I loved Martyn. Only keeper I’ve watched and felt safe with. Not sure I can come up with a starting 11, might try and post one when I get to a computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
