    Best Premier League XI never to win the league

    Saw this on Twitter and thought it might make a good thread here. Make your best XI from premier league players who have never won it.

    I need some time to think of mine.

    He was all that came to mind.

    Alan Shearer too, and Paul McGrath.

    James
    Carragher
    McGrath
    Desailly
    Le Saux
    Ginola
    Gerrard
    Xabi Alonso
    Kewell
    Zola
    Kane

    Quick draft. Avoided players from certain clubs and just targeted certain teams from certain eras. Early nineties Villa, turn of the century Leeds, late nineties Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham. I've definitely missed loads (nearly forgot the two centre mids).

    Bale and Sanchez at their best worth a shout.

    Suarez too.

    ------Suarez---Zlatan---Zola------

    Bale---Alonso---Gerrard---Juninho

    ----Carragher---Desailly---King----

    TBF the midfield three if you were looking for balance could easily be Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and Mascherano. Should've won the league with Torres up top.

    And anyone who overlooks McGrath is either a moron or a child.

    Did Cudicini win one before Cech stole his spot? Fabrizio Ravanelli. Maybe Juninho as well.

    Yes, he's been good for a month, after 2 years of, well, shite. He's not Luca Modric.

    Since OGS took over he's been the best performing midfielder in the world.

    Whether he keeps it up is of course another matter. People only lol because of the Mourinho debacle - if Pogba were playing for Barcelona it'd be a different story. Him convincing people Pogba is shit was his greatest achievement.

    @Giggles I presume assist, fuck knows why they chose that symbol.

    I'm pretty sure James Beattie was the best striker in the world for a few months.

    So what you're saying is that Pogba is just Michael Ricketts with a twitter account.

    Pogba was also excellent at the World Cup and very good for Juventus (and extremely highly rated as a youngster at Utd). It's not like this is one random good month in a mediocre career.

    He was even Utd's best outfield player for 95% of the time before OGS came in. People are just desperate for him to be bad.

    I can't deal with 'OGS' as a thing. You don't have Ice Cube as your manager.
