Saying that, I coukd pick another 11 tomorrow & the day after, 😁
 
Emerson could for that brief period have the best midfielder in the world, think he probably was.
He was still a class act when he played for that Greek outfit against us. Can’t remember the team name? He had it all. Poise, strength, passing ability,vision and a terrific shot. If he’d realised his potential he would’ve been world class in my opinion

Two Boatengs? That would be solid in the middle 😀

352? Can't say I'd pick much different. Try and find spots on the bench for Zenden, Ince and Merson maybe. Not sure who you leave out though.

If it was under Covid-19 I'd add Emerson and Hickton to the bench.

I know Geremi and Ziege played at their best in CM for us but they played in the full back positions successfully for bigger clubs than us so I would put them there. Plus imagine a free kick scenario with Zieges left foot and Geremi’s right foot. Goals galore.
Throughout my time supporting Boro since 1990 we have struggled at RB. Only Luke Young has been very successful in my opinion. The rest have either been average or inconsistent.

Also genuinely staggered at the number of people not including Paul Merson. The best player bar Juninho to pull on a Boro shirt in my lifetime in my opinion.
