Bbc tees sport names their all time Boro prem league XI

Jimmy Floyd in for Viduka. Viduka was unplayable at times, Jmmy a bit more consistent and demanding. Some great players to have played for our club.
 
Would a dog$hit 11 be as easy to pick? Im guessing it would heavily feature Southgate's last season in the top flight and some of Karanka's very questionable signings

Not sure I agree with that. Viduka's "problem" was he had a long injury lay off in his first season. When he was regained full fitness he was consistently excellent for 2 seasons. He came with that inconsistency rep, but I don't think we saw it with us.

Jimmy also went through a really barren spell, in his second season I think. In his book he says he wasn't fully focussed because he was having some work done on his house or something ffs😂🤦‍♂️

Both obviously brilliant either way.

I guess based on comments on this board - Gestede would be the first name on the teamsheet!
 
You have to build the team to suit the best player and that is Juninho so for me I would be playing 4312. Some players would have to be sacrificed for the team to work. I think Woodgate is better than Ehiogu but I'd rather Ugo paired with Southgate. One thing that is obvious is our weakness down the right side. Very few good options at all. Geremi would be the pick of them but he wouldn't fit in a back 4 I don't think.

...........................Schwarzer
Young - Southgate - Ehiogu - Ziege
..........................Boateng
.............Emerson............Zenden
...........................Juninho
..................Boksic - Ravanelli
 
To play Wilderball:

......................Crossley..............(can't remember but must've been better with his feet than Schwarzer, surely!)

........Woodgate............Pearson............Southgate..

Geremi....Mendieta....Boateng......Zenden....Ziege

...............Ravanelli........Juninho...................
If your playing Wilderball it’s Valdes
 
Why couldn't I remember this! My mind went blank!

I've even had my season ticket throughout the whole time...since before the riverside was built! Scary!

Stampy even played RWB a few times too IIRC? Kept swapping and changing between 442/352.

I still think our best 11 should be in 442, as that is the most used formation we used during our time spent in the PL. 442 or 4411.
Robbo used the Venables inspired Christmas tree formation

I'm having pre injury Tony McMahon as my right back.

True, but hesitated to include him because I thought he was so poor for us I wasn't sure his ability with his feet was enough alone to get him in the side. Definitely the best suited to the style though.

Ziege in a back 4 is the weakness there. Far more than Young who was excellent for us.
