Optimistic Nut 146 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Given, Hughes, Bernard, O'Brien, Woodgate, Solano, Robert, Dyer, Speed, Bellamy & Shearer. or, Given, Carr, Babayaro, Taylor, Boumsong, Dyer, Luque, Emre, Parker, (new striker) & Shearer. For me, barring the full-backs and Shearer of 2003 being much better than in 2005, the current best XI is a lot better than that side IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 the 2003 team were better managed and better prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we don't have Another striker yet. And one crucial difference is the managers in question whch makes a great variation on how well they'd do, as well as the formations being played. And i'd have Bramble not OB in the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 146 Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 Robson was in charge for 30 months before we finished top half under him, let's see if Souness can be anywhere near that position after 30 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sima Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 2003 team is far more balanced and doesn't have a 35 year old carthorse in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Hmmm, not too sure as we still don't have a striker. A combination could be tasty though!! ----------Shearer----Bellamy---------- Luque----Parker------Emre-----Solano Bernard-Woodgate-Boumsong-Carr -----------------Given----------------- That is assuming that Luque is better than Robert.

Bobby was always going to need time to achieve anything, Souness should with that squad and a transfer window have finsihed no lower than 6th or else he'd failed, to do what he did was shite.
