Best Everton team of the last 25 years

[jazzy]

Seeing how crap we are at the moment I thought I would reminisce and choose an Everton team of players of the last 25 years .

1. Southall - easiest choice of the lot

2. Coleman - excellent attacking full back at his peak
3. Baines - possibly the best left back we've ever had , what do you think @davek ?
4. Distin
5.Lescott - close run thing with the centre backs , could have had Watson and Stones / Jagielka

7. Kanchelskis - unplayable on his day
6. Gana - went for him as DM , 50/50 with Barry
8. Arteta - a lovely passer of the ball just got the nod over Cahill and Barkley
11. Richarlison - could just as easily been Pienaar

9. Lukaku - best centre forward since Sharpie
10. Rooney - supremely naturally talented player.

Would this team be a match for Man City ? Probably not!

He wouldn't have got a game for Kendall's teams.

Was Southall still good in the late 90's?

I'd say Jagielka over Distin too. Him and Baines could quite easily have slotted in at top clubs and won plenty of trophies.

I couldn't leave Southall out!
Yes he was past his best but still a very good keeper.

That's what I thought the thread title was alluding to.

That 09 team was decent.

 

[brigadier]

Fellaini was unplayable the opposition hated him , absolutely brilliant for Everton.

Would have Jagielka in before Distin simply because his leadership qualities and he was here longer.

Depressing fact is that the best teams of the last 25 years would all be placed amongst the worst teams of the last 142 years.

Well not really, we finished top 6 a few times. Early 90’s was worse.

Southall in the last 1-2 years with us was nowhere near the level Martyn was mate, not even close.

Baines nowhere close to being the clubs best ever left back.

I'd take Speed ahead of Richy or Arteta.

Gueye I'd take Carsley ahead of him too.

Distin and Lescott...

Lescott was never even the best cb in the team when he was here
