 Welcome to Toffee TV now we've been asking people at home for loads of Questions to get them into us to get some get something going get some conversation going This one I've seen pop up a few times and we've had a couple of videos in so let's just hear from the lads Good day, Baz and Pead and the rest of Toffee TV. Hope everyone's staying safe Just here in Sydney at the moment Just chilling with the mates Isolation, I know how much you guys love a flaming galar, so My question slash debate for you guys would be what would be your best Everton 11 Using only one Player from each country from former Everton players obviously I Know that 10k here would definitely be getting in mine Cheers guys. Hope you're all well and staying safe. Hi guys I saw Paddy Boyle in the tweet of the day about making an Everton 11. I'll play a t-scene We only love one player from each country So for you guys I'd imagine Southall Our Teta, Lukaku might be nailed on, but I just wonder what your thoughts were. Cheers. Cheers to Ben and Rue's day. Yes, it is it is the debate and it is the best ESC international 11 But one player from one country per position And we have to have seen we have to have seen them in the flesh as well. So because Listen, a lot of people have this is what makes it a great debate There's a lot of people have seen will have seen different players in their lifetimes But we can only really talk about the players We have seen so what we're gonna do is we've got a couple of whiteboards and one by one right back here. Yeah There might be some graphics on the screen, but there might be who knows who knows. I mean you know Yeah, so we get into it. Let's get into it. So Let's just before we start let's just say as well This is not as straightforward as it sounds not because number one you cannot chew on players into your team You can't chew on them in they have to play in the positions or you know You've got about a justified being in that position. Yeah, so you got to think about it. We're both playing 4 4 2 4 4 it's got to be a right back a left back two centre backs Sentiment fielders left and right and two forwards. So unless you you're playing something different you could be playing 4 3 3 We just won't we've just gone 4 4 2 because we think it's just More practical. So it is difficult because you have to try and squeeze these plays Interested to see you've gone fuck. We know that it's gonna be There's gonna be variations. It is and there's gonna be players that are left out simply because You've chosen someone else you've chosen someone else so there might be some positions It might just be because you can't really think of anyone else to play in that position And you don't want to weaken your entire team. That's the other thing you could go I'm just throwing so-and-so. Yeah, yeah I'm just throwing yasle yachipson at left back Sorry right back because he's a and that means I can play someone else But then that weakens your team about the over overall strength, right? Let's get into it Let's get into the gulky bit situation. I'm writing it down right now. I don't mind Don't I don't want to see yours. I don't want to see yours. Don't okay, right three two one Southall never south all never south all never south all so there's our Welsh Pick gone straight away. Why have you gone for Neves? Quite simply the best goalkeeper I've ever seen. Yeah And that was me starting things because like you said he could he could pop people in and go over play Eddie Bosna because he's Australian and there's better sayings, but you're trying to like get people from any country You know how I'm playing Robert Fartier because he's Polish and you know You're not playing a goal. I know but I'm just saying so so you I am with my team I'm trying to think of the of the best players as well. Yeah, not just in the key positions And so he is the best goalie. I I still think he was the best goalkeeper Yeah, I've gone for that because number one he's the best goalkeeper on a start stone from the back I don't want to mess about and then when I look at the other Welsh players Kevin Radcliffe You know, you could have him in the team very easily. Oh notable absentee Definitely knows what happens see but and you look at it take could anyone else it was anyone almost as good as Kevin Radcliffe Yeah, I think other people were almost as good as Kevin Radcliffe. Some people are better than Kevin Radcliffe Yeah, you know Kevin Radcliffe is not the best centre back who ever played for Evan. No, fantastic You know, but it good player good captain good pace So, um So Neville Schaltel, I don't think there's any argument. No, I don't think there is but other people might have to shoe on Or might look at other positions because they want because you know you look at you might say well If you're looking for 85 purely you've got him you've got Radcliffe and you've got Pathlander now, right? So there's three Welsh players from our best ever team Tacked on to that. You've got a garrie speed which for some people in their gender. They might love garrie speed You know as they play Any other Welsh players you can mark Penbridge, I mean, you know, he's the one that really I struggled with Yeah, it was a monneve to be honest with you pens on them mark use of course you could have us other Welsh led But he's the fact that I think he's a shite off and probably one of the few ever plays I don't like excellent plays So he was never getting it. Okay. Well, let's move on. Yeah, let's go to right back. Let's go to right back right back This is gonna be really interesting Okay three two one She was coming She must call now, right She must call me is into now obviously there goes our Irish pick and this was a tough one Because Kevin she did buy right should be in any evidence side. Yeah any evidence side the problem for me was Then I'm enough good right backs. I've not seen enough good right backs. I haven't obviously garrie garrie Stephens is the best I've seen But I wanted me English pick to be someone else who was the So there was garrie Stephens gone off the door and Tony I bet English Bad English And then you're looking at what Lars Jacobson that's what I'm saying Don't you don't want to weaken the side Because you're trying to pick you're trying to pick a Good side as well. Like I said, I've told me folk of that cucumber Tini, you know place for cut a cow No one else. There's no other cut a cow player. So we've got in but given the fact that He's probably my 11 no one say too loud, but you know, he's not someone I really highly let's put it that way as a right back So there again, we'll cut down on you know, um, you know mark hot again Swiss No, we need a level add one Because I am trying to pick it as I am Good team and James Coleman's been brilliant forever. Okay, we're out of stage now where I mean Table said the bee wasn't getting in either. No, and he doesn't qualify for me because he's just as good as he has come for They haven't been here long enough as well and he can't fan So Coleman's really once garrie Stephens was ruled out for me Coleman's really the only pick and It was a tough one because it was Kevin Sheedy was like I was thinking the best left footer player I've ever seen You don't play for ever like that's the way I approach it was almost took the best players first put them in the team and then Started to build from there, but then some of she was one of those players He was straight in there But then once I started to build out and think about other players who could possibly play there instead she is It is that it's that it's looking at that left and gone Right as good as he is and I know he is and I'll say it again He's the best left-sided player I've ever seen played forever. There's left foot was just What's incredible so far making me think like you've said so far that two of the best players in the position You've ever seen play forever and not in your team because you think there's other players who are from that country who are better than those two players That's quite interesting Coleman isn't better than Sheedy. No, no, but I'm starting to think that's on a main I'm starting to think that you now regret not putting Steve garrie Stephens in and Kevin Sheedy in the team I think I think you'll stand I think that is a fair comment This is be this work just pulling down your head. We think that's a fair comment, but the problem is Yeah, you'll see as we go. Okay. Oh, I mean to be honest Sheedy was the hardest one for me to leave out was because he's Incredible and therefore by Coleman's in because I he's been the second best right back. I've seen play forever to be fair And He's being consistent But he's also are the good quality level that way. There's there was no other one. I felt wouldn't weaken my team Who would come in instead of them? So if it was Gary Stephens, then I'd lose the person. I want him somewhere else in the team But can he see what get in order that ordinarily, but if it wasn't she was Coleman Don't anyone else you play there for me will consider me weak on my team. So that's why I went the same home Okay, I mean you must be think you you must be thinking similar No, of course it is that's what so it what's so interesting Oh, this is that you think and well are those two of the players better or could I have gone and thought you know Could I have just gone for another promise right back is this because there's such a drop-off from from So Gary Stephens is first She must have second, but then there's such a drop-off then and because all those are the players that are mostly English anyway and the drop-off to the next non-English player is So big that it can't it can't really be anyone else But Gary Stephens or Coleman Coleman, and then you've got to think is your English player better than Gary Gary Stephens More important I would say for me for the way I set my team. Okay, that's why that's how I've done mine. Okay, okay Then let's back let's back Bosnars BOS Okay, I'm excited. I'm excited, but I'm gonna see that's who you put here. Okay, three two one Oh I've used my English player up. You're off. I've gone with Luca Dean Gone with Leighton Bains Yeah, I had I had Dean in me team and then But now I'm starting to question that because I'm thinking about something about the other player I've picked I'm thinking about whether the other French player I've picked even qualified even qualified for France Okay But no like this one late I was thinking about the English player and I was thinking and there's a long list of English players I could put in the side, but when I just thought Leighton Bains is brilliant. Yeah, he's been brilliant for years and years and years. He's one of the he's just He's he's the best ever left back I've ever seen I think I and I just for me it was just one of those positions where I was like Think about the best English player think about the best and there's a lot listened to be loud And I'll be very intrigued to see yours and I think I know who it is but For me, I just thought if I was gonna put in an English player, and I just thought Bains is the play for me I want Bains in this team. And I think there'll be enough balance elsewhere And Dean's great because we haven't had loads of French players. So And my French play might need to be a French player, but that's not the point. The point being is is that is that? You know, that's why I felt that I was I went for listen Leighton Bains is probably the best left back I've ever seen Quality-wise actual football and ability, but Pat Fander now was Was a monster and as a defender. He was better than Bains as a defender And he was good going forward but he wasn't at Bains's level Bains is a footballer incredible Absolutely incredible still doing it now. I don't forget Pat was over a short period of time as well really But Bains has been the and it sounds odd saying it again because Bains is the best probably the best Football and left back I've ever seen play forever one of my all-time favorites ever and players and I generally have Attackers as my favorite because I was a forward. So I look they excite me more But I do love Leighton Bains and he kind of booked the trend of being a fullback who I absolutely loved I mean I've liked players but Bains is him like like he says him Probably trap fire six seven players that I've loved and it was a difficult one But again by virtue of how my squad played out how my team plays out I want to be Englishman because I think he's key to the works Dean is a fantastic football. I think brilliant. Okay. He's dipped this season But I think it's everything else that's gone on around them has made this made in suffer this season And again French players. We've not had many not a calm as are and you know Obviously what should have been now and so that give me a you know K2 me was another one, but he's not our player So I didn't include anyone on loan So therefore for me it was demons an easy one because it made me Accept that Bains he wasn't in it because I've got this other player and that's but Bains is a fantastic That's the beauty of this is the beauty of this whole thing is is that No one can really be wrong. I don't think everyone's just got an opinion Everyone's got an opinion. It's just how it all fits together. I'm doing it is not There'll be some people who probably try to choose the best ever player in that position and that's fine But I'm trying to do it as if I had to pick a team that I think I've balanced Right, let's go to the first centre back This is gonna be This is this is if I if my team is is while not might have people scratching the reds It's these two positions. So one just do one of them. Yeah, I'm doing well Okay Okay, okay three two one Matarati and I have gone for Johnny Heitinger Go play Heitinger. Yeah, go play it Marco Matarati. I'll start go on well cut winning. Yeah centre back fabulous When he left Evan, he was good for ever and very disciplined go play it But again by virtue of us not having many great Italian players You know, I'd looked at Matio Ferrari. Why don't you brilliant centre back forever? But boys didn't know Jenin out wasn't he? But Matarati for everything else that he grew into now people might look and go well He's only here a year and they wish and I get that and I accept that so that could be a reason why you probably shouldn't be in But I just think for worry was left side the centre back as well left footed well cut winning brilliant And I just think he'd be getting my team now He was a great player honestly was a great player and he was coming towards the end of he was adapting to play playing And we sold him at the wrong time He didn't even want to leave when we should have wanted to stay and well again Nobody he didn't he was getting better and better and it was just a financial thing where we just had to get off plays off the Bucks who were you know after three clicks as well Great that we seen him. We had that horrible after he left Evan He had a horrible nastiness about him That we and when we seen that when he was out of it and because he got into off quite a bit, but It's why I went with him. Well, John listen Johnny hiding there Dutch obviously Not too many of them when we signed them. We were all told he's gonna be a right back He played one game at right back and was terrible Yeah against Portman although he did set the goal. He did play long ball. We all set it up. He hates a long ball So so hard and For me he got played here, didn't he second season? Yeah. Yeah I Always find it mad that we never play trade the back We almost had the three perfect players him on the ball the five perfect Yeah, five perfect him on the ball Jageelke as a as a defender and this time with the cover and pace We had beans and Coleman on either side if Moise had just thought about Coming away from playing that one off-run that could have been the perfect formation We had players we had players at that time that were better than our system If that made sense if he would have just altered the system to suit the players a good man I'm a different manager because Moise was a good manager a different manager Would have just moved the pieces around a little bit and probably got everything a bit more success because then five at the back I think he suffered from the fact that he was a little bit smaller Than the other two and Moise loved Jags clearly because Jags was a great defender and this time I'd great cover and pace and and You know, that's what he loved he got that partnership going for that at that time Yeah, and heighten you found himself the odd man out sometimes you played in my field. He wasn't as good He was sometimes accused of being not as committed maybe in the tackle at times, but He's come out since and said he loved this time at everything like I quite liked the only I think it was one of them It was almost like the way it tailed off leaves you towards him was like You know sour taste in your mouth, but when you look back and you think about that It's just that he'd never kept up the standards and that's because he wasn't in the team So you don't understand it from his point of view, but I always thought that Moise just got it wrong It was a perfect three And then he got listening got played this season and he deserved it He was brilliant, he was a classy player Really classy player and he maybe just wrong place at the wrong time or right place Just maybe the wrong time, but listen great defender Just never quite worked out for him No, but but he's gone into my team because he's he's good player and he's Dutch Yeah, fair enough. Let's go for it. It's gonna be interesting. This is gonna be interesting. I mean you say interesting Okay, okay, three two one Me ne and I've gone for Sylvan this time the French French Maybe French Did he play for France because didn't he play some games for the one Cougar Martini plays for as well But no, he definitely played well, I would easily French pick anyway. He's French. He's friend. That's what I thought anyway So he's French meaner. Yes, Colombian Colombian. Yeah fair play again by virtue of having to balance the team Yeah, I think yet. He means it's a good defender. I think in a team Like this The team is stronger elsewhere. I'll get that the two centre backs Mightn't be the strongest to but I think defensively the boat good. I'm just not the quickest. I probably have to sit deep But but yeah, I mean, I think good defender powerful good in the air good in the tackle I think he's been good this season really has And he's been good in a team that has a lost the best screen that we had in Ghana and Has been opened down and changed manager and being all over the place and through out there in general I think me and has been good the whole way through I think he's a good defender and the fact that he's Colombian There's might have been a big a big indicator into why he got into my side So, I mean I look and like the Dutch thing I can't think it could have been a show, but So I've got my meaner. No Right or wrong adult this time for me come in little bit shake your face But once he settled in was absolutely fantastic, you know, he's made mistakes. He always held hands up He was a he was a man about the situation Moise said he brought him in For two to three years. That's the plan when we got him. Yeah, and he coming around and he said he was that good We had to just keep extending this concept because he was that good. Moise left in 13 and he played for us till six till 15 so another couple of years. And again, he's another player who suffered from a manager having Ideas about things that maybe didn't quite didn't quite work You know, he wanted them playing on the ball at the back He didn't and then he went to another manager who wanted to do the same That boom in the end and it cost them where they've been. Well, I was watching funny enough I was watching the show me BBC was showing like FA Cup highlights and he was showing Portland faces Manchester United Oh, yeah, yeah, and him and Saul Campbell at the back were absolutely magnificent and It just showed you that in that watching that how good the defender was and how he could read the game And as I said when he faced coming down and struggled to face my dog mistake Well, he just wasn't less got was he know people know on his back exactly and He had a lot to get over because he wasn't less good. Let's go on the goals and everything But he he settled in and just become a magnificent defender and unfortunately madness I'm going to try it towards the end But I think the fans backed him and in that again that sort of when that happened people started to ask questions of our There's rather than ask questions of this time because this time always Maintained front of the rough. Yeah, he was always he was always honest about it And you know, he got a chance to go to West Ham and everyone, you know Everyone thought would be a great idea because we want to see him play Man, this wouldn't let him and you know all little things like that But while it was Sam's Evan, he was he was as good as he was as good as Anyone really for just, you know the covering defender. He was brilliant this time. All right, like any sense of back I don't think any sense of perfect No, really don't Jack's had his moments, but I still love Jack's Kevin Rackliffe Was at his moments and at the end he was a liability But we still love back and go what a player what a play, you know Dexiel say others moments Dave Watson certainly others moments all the all the top evidence center back to you've seen over the years The position he playing isn't it? It's gonna have them but this time was fantastic five million quid Absolutely incredible for us six years Service millions But again French and I'd already had Lucas. Yeah. Yeah, because he would have been he was one I was looking at and go I'd love them in my team Okay, there you go, right. Let's move on to Right side right right side of my feet right side wing. Yeah, you're gonna call it. Yeah Two one Yeah, the Russian And I can't you else because there's nobody else. No, there's nobody else You can we get him by two two things one. We've got no other Ukrainians or Russian players of any note And Billy let them up, but yeah, I've any no like I said, I mean I like Billy scorer of great goals And But he was he truly one of the world-class players that ever mad over the last 80 years He was just incredible. He was amazing on his own. He was amazing He's the best. He's the best ever player I've ever seen. Is he I think I think you see I Think cuz it's me. I'm saying Because When he got the ball You were just on the edge of your seat and you felt like whatever happens Something would happen. Yeah, like and don't forget he missed the first part of the season when he first signed Due to an injury that he got picked up on it's third game into man United Mm-hmm, and then the second half the season. He was just utterly incredible drove us forward and to Whether we finished six does it? But you think if we'd had them first after season with some other players and certainly got 16 goals Yeah, and we've been in Europe as well. I think you know and he just he's just incredible And he was and also It was the first time we bought a world-class player in his peak as well. Yeah, like it was properly Yeah, he was unbelievable and I remember I've said this story before I remember And this is out signs have changed I remember seven o'clock every night while the thing was going on because we basically signed them and then there's this problem Wasn't there? There was a payment That needs to be paid and many nights wouldn't pay it and we wouldn't pay it and was he coming and it was like Being a never-toner remember every night going out to me that to my dad's car switching on radio Macy said seven o'clock news because they'd always have like the sport Update and that would be it. That was the that was doing what you found out anything I mean how mad is that now how mad that was like that was in 1995 How mad is that I think 25 years ago? You get your news at seven o'clock my hues would be like And it was like there's no further nothing further on with can tell us this and that was all you got About three days on a row and it was just like oh my god because we were signing this absolutely well-class player And it felt like because we just come off winning the cup if I do a real change and I remember being a cheffy Wednesday That day. Oh my god. It was okay. Oh that kids all white. Oh, it was unbelievable He was incredible. He was just every time he got the ball something happened And they love that shift where he come inside and bender in the oldest blast. They was left foot as well He was just he was well class. He really was You know, you'd have to flick a coin Miriam and Travis Stevens to get it in the night You've got Travis Stevens incredible as well. There he was but he was a He was unbelievable, but he's a wide striker. In fact, you know in the way the games gone Nowadays he was like the equivalence of a like a Raheem Steyer Yeah, I'm kind of you know live a bit for Barcelona You think of like Messi coming off the wing go, you know Well, it's played sensible name from them wide areas getting that amount of goals Because the irony is now if he played if he played now and he played for us We'd be fending off Your Barcelona's your realm I did for him without the show. But he ended up going to foreign team. It was it It was a terrible time. No, but no, we had them in here And so you said you want to go. No, she didn't want to go, but it was a terrible move Florentine like as I said now now he would be going to any club in the world Yeah Because off the back of school and 16 goals in the Premier League that they'd be queuing up and they'd be paying mad mad money He was he went for bones in his infancy. No, I know a lot. He'd been brilliant when you might have won the league Being unbelievable. I'm believing but what a player. Okay. Let's go. Let's go left side left side Okay, this will be interesting It's gonna be very very interesting Me thinks So Billy are letting off because he's no you can't have that Right three two one The charlots and I've gone for peanut You've gone very modern there. You've gone for it. Oh peanut It's actually on my bench. Okay, I've got a bench. I Love you know what I I feel about Steven peanut. I'm sure you love them, but I just think the charlots and He's one of the best Players I think we've had in the last 30 years Wait in terms of ceiling as well where he could go and play anywhere across the the front Goals peanut didn't get a lot of goals, but created an awful lot And this was it. This was really one where I've done that and got no peanuts in but I Just think the charlots and brilliant. I just think everything about him. He's like peanut With that way great never say bye, but he's got the goals that peanut. They can get okay Doesn't create as many and that was that's what she either did for me was simply the fact of the goals And then what I did do was I had Steven peanut in one of my central midfield positions Yeah, and I was like nah because I'm I am shoehorn and I'm in because we're playing a 4-4 to It's like trying to play a woby in He's better than the woby but trying to play someone who wouldn't play normally normally in that center Position so I went with the charlots and but you know how I feel about Steven peanut I mean, that's I mean, I do feel like you've slightly shoehorned it in but I've shoehorned the charlots just in a 4-4 to yeah, but he played on the line. No, it's fine. It's fine. He played on the Listen Sheedy would be my number one for left me feel of course He would but with the balance of the side and having as we've already explained I Couldn't really think of many other players at one out on left me feel than Steven peanut and incredible player Incredible technique. Okay, didn't score a lot of goals But him and Baines and ironically human beings are in the side had a partnership, which is just yeah, I've never seen the likes of it And everything and I know Trevor Steven and Gary Stevens. That's a very similar thing but The amount of goals they created. Yeah, and again like you've mentioned peanut's way. It was fantastic You could play in sense my field and we had obviously had two spells at the club It was just a fantastic player fantastic player and okay When and tried his hand somewhere else and it never quite worked because again, I think him and Baines were such had such a Tremendous connection that Baines got all the assists, but it's peanut who's always put Baines in the position to get the assists We didn't really want to leave That's why I think the spares thing didn't really work out as well And I listen and they don't you didn't know to use they didn't know how to use them They didn't know they basically put them in the same position and totally forgot that Someone else someone else had to play and the same thing happened when Baines played for England left back They played my left back and then wondered why he wasn't getting up the pitch because he didn't have to feel someone coming Yeah, you wouldn't do the way so they were a brilliant partnership and Listen people that have different opinions people go I'm having shitty straight in and everything goes forget. That's fine. We're trying to get a balance side, but just for me You know, I loved watching him and I just thought he's a fantastic fellow as well being very lucky to meet him as well I mean, he was very lucky to witness me score. That's a good decision as well Which he actually said it was the finest hat he'd ever seen I mean, he wasn't set up to say that but he wasn't he just said off his own back. Oh, yeah No, yeah, yeah, fantastic player again It's one I can't I'm not gonna argue because he's you know, he's one he is one of my favorite things. He was incredible forever unbelievable footballer really But I've just gone because of the goals I went with the team, but it was it was a tough one This next one's gonna be really interesting because you'll know it's a tough one in a minute So cool. This one's really interesting because I'm actually leaving out a very very Yeah, I'm not gonna say anymore. All right, I'm not gonna say anymore. Okay, three two one. I Knew that was gonna be your English player. I knew Peter E. To be your likely best midfield I have ever seen play forever. I've gone for Ghana Go play I've gone for Ghana because and initially I wasn't even thinking about Ghana. I was thinking about somebody else But but when you just just for the balance of the side and I kind of maybe overthought this because I have gone for the balance of the side I just thought here's what he worried what he done in his three years. Yeah I'd say in his last five months He became sitting in the last five months. He elevated himself to almost whale class maybe in his position Yeah, maybe maybe and that's why Palace and your man took him and But straight away when we first signed and we stayed away what we saw was just play you could basically run a midfield on his own and You know, it was like two men in there And we've seen the difference this season with him not being in there Oh, the drop-offs can be an incredible the full backs aren't getting on as good going forward You know it he just he was like two people you never very really filed anyone You just had a great way of getting in a nick on the ball and they set us up for the counter attack And we saw that late on in season especially a home How much that help? great attitude great work rate You know Still, you know when up left left in almost on good terms as well fans are understood that That you know, this was the time. Okay, maybe not everyone agreed it or maybe people thought we should have got more for him But I need put a good shifting when he did He knew that yeah, we were still we asked him to stay for to the end of the season he obviously knew That probably Paris had come back from which he did and It was really close between him and another player And the other players arguably have probably a better player or is more Adelaide by Evertonians, but I just felt like He was the right player for the team. Okay, Sam Good go on Peter. He's Peter. He's quite simply the best midfielder. I've ever seen like those So kind of all the things you talk about Ghana. He did that, but it was better going forward Yeah score goals not a lot admittedly, but he come up with big goals nasty Rally the team leader if you needed someone to go and win set the tempo it was him Didn't back down from anyone looked after team mates. You see now with the age and he think and all of that Just an unbelievable character will to win seconds and all just a fantastic midfielder You never had one now like him. Maybe we've been the top three top four because he was that good Ghana was wonderful absolutely brilliant and Didn't get in my team for the simple reason that Very similar to read and I wanted a bit of balance and you want me asking Exactly, but you want that little bit of balance, but he was read was just unbelievable and I'm impressed well Probably the finest midfield partnership. I've ever seen play for ever and we've had some good sense. No, we have No, I was thinking about read as well and I Was thinking about read saying the whole club around yeah, oh listen for me just I was thinking about read but it was just a case of To get that balance of the side and it's weird that I've left out read and I've left out Like she didn't stuff But it was just about getting that balance of the team and I just when I looked at it the center backs and I possibly could have had them in there If I'd had Dean at left back maybe which could have could have done that No, no, so it's all about that but then I could have had I could have had you know You've you've picked two centre backs there which which I could have had it's just about the balance of the No reads amazing what a player what a player very underestimated by a lot by a lot like people who probably never seen him I think anyone who watched them would understand just II and he could I get a lot of blood that's on rightly show for he done Well Peter did actually transform their football club from a team that was struggling and you know threatened with relegate or certainly the lower half to Being the best team in your in a couple years and it was because of him because everybody fed off him He set the tempo the way can't be seen kind of do it winners games because he be out and win that fair title He done that for us for years and he trophies that follow because of him and don't forget PFA play the day writers play the day yeah, and I've got it as well one year But read was just unbelievable and he went into an England team and Got England to the quarterfinals, you know one of Linnecke, but I mean They've been a bit quicker I don't know like but if Linnecke would have had that one in when Barnes crossed it He was a yard out You know we the Englander probably gone on and won that game because they would give it in the ascendancy and the Englands Just transformed memory got in the team. He was that good He was that good and injured easy come back and still be that good, you know, and we let him go because We start we thought it was gonna be new and shiny with like to shoot my call and Mike Milligan And the either still better than the pair of them meant to keep me meant to sit even brilliant to keep you I was still good So that three or four years after Evan when he could have been doing that for Evan. Yeah, could have been leading those young younger players Exactly, you know, you should have had someone with Peter Eade and again really really bad Well, let's go to the other centre midfielder For me, there's only one name Interesting see three I've gone for Tim Kale, but it's gone for Michael Arthetta Was the player I left out okay at first I was gonna go for Arthetta and Kale and centre midfield and And I know a lot of people probably think that should be that would be more like it But why have you why have you gone for Arthetta? Well, this shows you how much I agonised over Pena, but then went for balance Because like I feel as though you've gone for you've sure on Kale. No, I haven't I feel like you know I haven't he's not a sense of midfield player, but I think in a diamond Well, I could have played the diamond with Pena, but I want to that's fine. I've gone for more balance and I went for that the balance there like you say I've Kale's on my bench Kale's again is one of he's a player who I absolutely love really do love him and It's on the bench and he's one who's unlucky not to be him the team when you look at it because he was great But Arthetta I don't like Arthetta anywhere near as much as I like to like to Pena and Kale So that's why I'm talking thinking about the balance of it And I think him with Reid would have been magnificent because Reid had gone and do everything put the fires out And then give the ball to Arthetta and like I'll Arthetta was such a good footballer That he would that would be a lovely little balance in the centre of the path there Really great value for Evan two and a half million quid Come in was with us for five years. Okay, he was a shite off by the end of it But not only was I mean people have read it in history to be like, oh, you know He didn't want to go he was he wanted to go he begged to go Which I can't forgive I can't forgive someone saying to the club they're not leaving and then the next day So I'm going today and you'll do it because I'm never playing for you again I can't forgive that and people will have their own opinion and that's why I hope we get sucked at Arsenal But as a footballer as a technique of a footballer he was fantastic for Evan football club and And he goes in there because I think him and him and Reid it'd be brilliant because Reid Like you say Garner, he could do the job of three men nearly in the field But then too, I think it'd be a lovely little because Arthetta worked out as well It was a good thing Moise put him in on the right hand side and said you've got a way to play there You've got to play out here and work hard and Arthetta wasn't works I that's the one thing he wasn't as well And that's why he was a good player because he put the hard work in as well as the technique And I think him and Reid will make a lovely little partnership in the middle of the park Kail's not not so sentiment for me. He's just not he's a Split striker and Pena is more of a tent if he's gonna play inside So I did put Pena, he was in my reads and I wanted to read but it was a bit like cheating Not cheap, but it was sheer on and I didn't want to do it. So that's why I went for the more traditional Yeah, well, I mean Kail for me was one of the first names on the sheet. It really was because He's just an incredible credible footballer and for some people he is there. He is there everton Legend icon, whatever you want to call it. He's the person that They see when they think of everything for whether it be, you know fans in the UK or fans in Australia Brought to ever because of him. He was just the man who turned up. He was the man. Yeah, man who turned up Man who loved big games Now whether he you call him a split striker, whether you you know, you sent him a fielder whether he played in a five You know whether he played up front occasionally He turned up for games of football and loved playing against big opposition and score goals against big opposition And I don't think we've had anyone since who really not who really You took the challenge took it on and goes I'm gonna match you today But I'm I represent everton football club and he loved representing everton football club He left it all on the pitch and he never There was no, you know when he left it was I'm leaving because I'm not good enough for everton anymore really Yeah, that's what it was. Yeah, you know, it wasn't wasn't anything else And it's just a real shame that More didn't come out of that team. Yeah, because it was just so close to being a good side So close being a good side whether it be a better squad players coming off the bench a different attitude There's just something something just not you know when you think about those players in isolation They're all good good players And we never could quite fit them all together and It's so frustrating. It is really frustrating that we didn't do more with that side. So You know, I just loved I love Tim K. Now he still represents the club brilliantly And great to me. He's an evertonian. It's a simple attack. I love I love them You know, you know, I feel about him, but he's only bench sound right. Let's move. Yeah Yeah, the forward positions Hmm the first forward position will be three two one Grimshaw, I'm sure I'm sure. Yeah, Scottish pick on Scottish pick Gold scorer Leader Great target focal point target, man Nasty score goals most goals in the post post-war era as well score goals did it over a long time as well When people talk about Dominic Arvind Lou and they say oh the shades of Grimsharp in there You can you know, you can see why While the other partner changed he was always that consistent Assistant player for 89 years and Loved like the little little and large partnership and You know, he could be nasty when he wanted to as well score of some weldies as well Yeah, I'm one of them field and top number home and I'm a leader on Brilliant goals brilliant target man Fantastic fantastic place for hanging the air The leader like you said score big goals come up when we needed them to Come on, there's a couple final things like a Wendley in the FA couple final Just a brilliant player come from Dunbarton, you know minimal outlay turned into a fantastic player You know when there's times when ever we're unsure whether he was gonna but Went on and was for ten years. Whatever was was fantastic for everything absolutely second to none and Was key in so why we won't what we won. You still at the club now. It's now the international ambassador as well and Just a brilliant footballer and a brilliant Ever number nine. We love our number nice. He's a proper number nine. He was what you think of it We got a sheath over there of Duncan Vegas and we both love you know and love them as an Everton player, but Sorry, don't yeah, but it's the Scottish picking And that's you know, we throw my kale for people always their idol Don't donks like one of my favorite ever players boys not got him because no There was something better and sharp was forever And it's the way it is, you know dunkers great and played his partner But winning the trophy but sharp one leagues and I'm was there for a long time or you know was just better Representation I think so that's why sharps got in for me. Yeah, definitely. I'm the same and And He was again, he was one of my first picks It was just like a thoughtful discussion behind you like you just said Duncan He's an idol, but at the same time. He's not he can't call all the Anything near game sharp really did and you could mention, you know, Andy Gray obviously The grave is one of thoughts about for a couple of years was a huge huge You know and it you know Clelland for the Scottish player which you got You know what Richard got was in my notable thing because he's still one of the best centre backs I've seen play for ever for two years. He was unbelievable unbelievable a 38 He was unbelievable up against Michael Owen who was in his pump Never schooled that big all past them and get away from him because of the intelligence of dropping in and not giving space unbelievable but no sharp You know, I know I thought I didn't know whether you were gonna go for place at home Be to be honest. Well, no Gary Naysmith are close. Well, nice and Steven Naysmith Funny that it is right last one was lovely and one's a shatter last one. I Think we both are going for the same player It is in it Valencia for me Right three, two, one like I do it after me, didn't it? Yeah, you're after me. I have to be like I do and Most goals in the Premier League air for ever and well again with a world-class centre forward Okay, we didn't buy him as a world-class centre forward But by the time he was leaving he was a world-class centre forward and obviously that's one of the reasons why he left Just phenomenal just a phenomenal football. It's mad though because I don't think he's improved since he left No, I think he has improved. I think he got himself to the level I don't know whether he was well class. I still don't think he's well But it depends how you gauge that but he was he was definitely a top-level Sensor forward goals second to none given chance to score goals and it's the classic thing. I think with with Rom is that One of them things about yeah, I'm going on to bigger and better things But you were as good as you were because of where you were The club would you know, we thought the club wasn't big enough for him But the club was perfect size for him because he's that character Sometimes you have to look at characters and go you just shoot that club Anything bigger you get swallowed up because I don't think he's like a messy or a Ronaldo He's a good goal scorer and centre forward. He's got some decent ability Everton, he was almost like I'll carry the club on my shoulders then and that's suited him Do you know what I mean? He got the best out of him He's kind of been swallowed at United and he's been really good for into this year He really has but then into yeah, oh he loves being there. He loves being a big fish But when he's had a club where suddenly yeah, he's just said Paul Parker was the big man and and that's it's Manchester United And that took the spotlight away from him and Listen, he was phenomenal for us. He scored goals and he's left-footed. You know when he So you're sharp right and left when he When he came in that first season he just hit the ground straight away and you know when we When we bought him again, it was like that thing of like when we got like in Chelsea In this well-class play we're putting the money out 30 million. Oh my god breaking the bank and He turned up he turned up and again, it's just He didn't turn up in the very big games That's the problem He did sometimes he did and he did believe it was this thing You know about winning stuff and then you get presented with all of those chances in the semi-final And you could if he'd have been at a normal game But we were used to with the one that game 3-1 3-0 3-1 whatever against United Because he had that many chances and he missed the penalty and if he would have produced what he normally did He would have sent us to Wembley play Palace Yeah Palace it went and we've had the cup and who knows what would have happened but He did turn up in the factory it nearly 20 goals every year and that's incredible Given that we had a manager who didn't care about defending, you know We had a 20 20 to 25 goal this season sense of forward and we finished 11th twice under Which is just it's only that because if you get a bit of organization you've got him He's in the top five You know and that's what Tottenham did Well, listen when people go on about Martinis This is why it winds me up they go on or he's great No, he wasn't he's we had the pieces in place No, okay He might have been part of getting them in place because he did on me on whether we'd have got Lukaku without him Okay, I don't know but we had someone who could get us where we wanted to be and yet He just didn't have a clue how to solve the other bit and Ron would have been remembered as a much more With much more fondness. Who knows he might have still been here if we'd have had Carlo Ancelotti or David Moyes or something and Romula Cootman if he'd have stayed With Romula stayed ever and probably would have been in here And then he would have been doing what he wanted to do for ever and then and Brewster's because Monsieur he coming we'd have been buying these other shiny things either probably being made up And his goals were to carry us and people forget that We we didn't we didn't have them we had them for a year but Monsieur he but because of the likes of partners it don't don't all the promises we set him in all the hard way but as a as a goal score unbelievable and in that team just fantastic I just thought he was a great player and sometimes listen sometimes you have to forgive the sins of some players because what they do on the what they do ultimately on the pitch is all that matters and people say he didn't work hard enough or or whatever Yeah Did he work hard to put the ball in the back of the net with the problem? No no because yeah the two of them the differences right the differences the system Romula Cootman was playing for ever now with Dom you wouldn't eat all he'd have to do was go and split the centre back in the full back and just work that space and he'd be fine he was okay at doing that and then you'd have Dom doing the other stuff so you wouldn't think about it because you wouldn't need to but when it was him and we were four five one with two way it was quite obvious that there was times when he put it this way when he worked hard you could see that he was a world class centre forward Stoker only last four today the best performance I ever seen from him he was unbelievable he was bullying them he was everywhere he was putting tackles and he scored two brilliant goals and we lost the game because Sopcite didn't know how to defend and we had Dickhead doing cliffs and giving penalties away at the end but that kind of John Stone you mean yeah but that kind of thing what I mean is when Rom done that Chelsea Romani I think up when he just went and winning this and he turned up and they couldn't get near him he scored so he bullied them on his own there wasn't enough for that and I think that's why people were frustrated because when he did it he was unplayable you couldn't get near him and yeah but that but doesn't take it away he was he was an incredible goal scorer for everything we got more than a value for money out of me and I'd have them back tomorrow I don't eat another one I don't love but I would have them back because his ability overrules everything I'd have them back some players who come on give me a no I haven't done no okay no but the subs I had was Pina Kail who we talked about Landon Donovan he was my American pick because he was a good player Manuel Fernandez Portuguese he was one of us flipping but didn't have him full on but as a footballer talent my outstander you'd have him over on the Gomez as your Portuguese yeah okay yeah I mean Gomez I think I hope we'll overtake him but Fernandez was fantastic yeah he was fantastic footballer Limpard yeah I was thinking of Limpard wonderful wonderful footballer talk to well there was it and obviously yes for Blumkust it's unbelievable you know I was desperate the yacht was going to be in my team and then it was just like I thought you keep him like I'm up front no way to be fighting over you to score the goal trying to dingy Brian over either just because no no he's in the absences no no he's in the absences no stop it but then the absences were like Steve and Stevens wonderful she the obviously Baines Howard Andy Gray Gary Linnaker eight underneath you're just naming good players here we'll play Nuno Valenti if you loved hey Nuno was amazing Wayne Rooney neither of us English English play the one the greatest English plays ever top gold scorer didn't get in beardly incredible Ghana but they've been on the bench Olivier Decor the Frenchman wonderful play machine how good he can be on road to glory Richard Gough Marwan Fellini yeah um Nigel Martin you're just naming international players now but I'm sure they all played for us band and I'm Nigel Martin people like that and I did have an avalanche like a piss take but there's so many that there has been good plays but one when you look at that we didn't see so I'm sorry I didn't see you put this look in because Canadian Canadian but he's born in Poland of course hasn't I um but yeah so there was there's players who you look at and go you know Esprim Bards and was the one who really was a you know do we put them in them um yeah a lot to go great conversation it is because people will come up with different things and they will predominantly obviously there's a lot of good English players we've hadn't seen who and you've got to pick one of them and I just thought for going back to the likes of Gary Stevens who would have made a massive difference yeah brilliant best English like back being wonderful but none of them put the impact on a team as what Peter read but which is why read was my English book so for me looking at the centre backs are maybe a little bit iffy because this than I love but yeah then I couldn't squeeze so they're in for a reason yeah do you know what I mean where other people are going well them too but they're in for a reason brilliant there you go it's good then there's no your thoughts who was your who would make your best editing in the international level 11 don't forget only one one player per nationality in the team who do you think has win my team or pets let us know your thoughts in the comments thanks for watching keep the questions coming in we need we need it for the content me too that was great yeah see you later see you later
