All-Time Premier League Villa XI

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

Friedel

Barrett
McGrath
Mellberg
Staunton

Richardson
Taylor
Petrov

Daly
Carew
Saunders

Subs
Bosnich
Laursen
Mings
Digne
Kamara
Townsend
McGinn
Atkinson
Watkins

Unlucky to miss out:
Milner
Ugo
Milosevic
Wright

Pre PL Cowans would definitely have been in my team.

[Dante Lavelli]

The Torres we're currently seeing is better than Mellberg imo. But there isn't much to strongly disagree with in that 11 although i'd go pre-injury Charles as well.

Melberg would be my RB, perfect to play in Emery's lop sided defense.

[Clark W Griswold]

GK Martinez
RB Delaney
LB Staunton
CB McGrath
CB Southgate
RM Milner
CM Barry
CM Townsend (C)
LM Rogers
CF Carew
CF Yorke

Nice balance classic 4-4-2
8 That can defend and 5 that can attack

Subs:
GK Bosnich
RB/CB Barrett
CB Laursen
LB/LW/RW Young
CM Kamara
CM Taylor
LW/AM Grealish
CF Benteke
CF Saunders

Squad:
Spink, Digne, *McGinn, Merson, Watkins.

Platt, Cowans and Daley not really PL era.

*Correction McGinn for Tielemans although if Tielemans plays like last season for a couple more years he'll be straight in the 11.

[Monty]

Martinez; Delaney, McGrath, Laursen, Digne; Kamara, Petrov, Milner; McGinn, Grealish; Yorke.

Toss-up with Petrov and Barry, but I genuinely thought Petrov was outstanding and criminally underrated by commentators. McGinn's on the 'right' there, but that drifting in interchanging thing he does. And I really, really hate to say it, but it's got to be Yorke considering the difference between his career after leaving us and Benteke's.

[UK Redsox]

I'd have a different right back, but not sure who.

Ash instead of McGinn

Tekkers instead of Ollie

[Bosco81]

I think I’d have to get Konsa in at RB, as we’ve had a lot more really good centre halves than right backs.

Martinez-
Konsa-Ehiogu-McGrath-Staunton
Milner-McGinn-Barry-Grealish
Yorke-Benteke

So not too far from Drummond’s original, for all time before football was invented, I’d get Kenny Swain, Dennis Mortimer and Sid Cowans in ahead of Konsa, McGinn & Barry.

Wonder if Rogers will be in peoples best XIs in 10 years time.

[ChicagoLion]

Wonder if Rogers will be in peoples best XIs in 10 years time.

It seems a bit recent ish

[Brazilian Villain]

Daly
Carew
Saunders

As good as she is, I'm not sure our Rachel warrants a place in the team.
