It's been too long since this was posted:
Actually, Pool fans defend all of those. It's been posted on RAWK about 50 times by trolling United fans
the awards are based on the 1992-2002 seasons
Why is Henry and Ljundberg in there?
Both their best years were after 2002. Vieira potentially too...

Best goalkeeper: Peter Schmeichel
Best right back: Lee Dixon
Best left back: Ashley Cole
Best central defender: Sol Campbell
Best right midfielder: Cristiano Ronaldo
Best left midfielder: Ryan Giggs
Best central midfielder: Paul Scholes
Best forward: Theirry Henry
Seriously? NO CRISTIANO RONALDO?!
Dude won a balon dor and was leading scorer on a treble team. 3 straight league titles..... exactly how many epl players have won balon dors in this era?
IF you're talking best foreign epl players it has to go henry, cantona, ronaldo (no particular order). Each had huge influence on league and it's growth.
But to not put him in best 11 is a joke.
MY best EPL 11 which would probably stretch to mid90s-ish.....
Van Der Saar
Neville--Rio--Stam--Cole
Vieira--Scholes--Giggs
Ronaldo--Shearer--Henry

yep, no contest.
Seaman>VDS too. As far as time in the league goes.VDS? Really?
I love the guy - one of the all time greats, but Schmeichel was much better. VDS was better with the ball at his feet but Schmeichel was better at everything else. Couldn't ask for 2 more contrasting styles though. VDS was a calming influence who would contantly talk to the defence whilst Schmeichel was a loud prick who would start fights with his own defenders on the pitch and scare everyone shitless
I think the top scorer in the history of the league has something to say about that. No contest. Shearer led Blackburn. Blackburn. to a premier league title. And lead Newcastle into his 30's. Technically not as good as Henry, but his contribution to the premier league is unrivalled.
If ManU get him, not Solsjkaer, he'd be seen as the best striker the league has seen by a way. But they didn't. And so he gets thrown into the same category as Cantona who quite frankly isn't anywhere near his standard.

henry - bergkamp is better
cantona is possibly the most overrated player in history
They also wouldn't have done it without him.Don't kid yourself about Blackburn Kalac. They were the first sugar daddy club of the EPL era. Plus, they only won the friggin league because Cantona got banned
agree to disagree, henry was a complete forward.
?
ljundberg's best ever season was the 2001-2002 season, henry entered beast mode as soon as he arrived.
VDS? Really?

Cantona was a very good striker.... Not Shearer, Henry, Bergkamp good, but just below that tier - however, his influence on man utd was immeasurable.... it's hard to describe, but he managed to be the last piece of a jigsaw, yet, in doing so flipped over all the other pieces to make an even better picture
They also wouldn't have done it without him.
Nobody is yet to even come close, Cole is 73 goals away. Henry almost 100. How people can dismiss him is crazy.
Complete forward, yes. But this isn't about the most talented players otherwise Veron would be on that list, but he isn't.
