Who would you choose?

You do wonder just how low Everton sank in 1994 when you think how many Blues legends were in that side.
I put it down to bad management. Howard Kendall resigned in early December, because the board wouldn't sanction the signing of Dion Dublin.

The late and great (a legend of this club as a player) Jimmy Gabriel, was then caretaker manager for the whole of December. Sadly Jimmy was in way over his head. A record of one draw and six defeats speaks for itself.

Then in January we appointed Mike Walker who along with that spanish kopite, is the joint worst manager in our modern history. I really do think if it wasn't for Howard resigning, we would at least have finished mid table that season.
 
Did Hans Segers throw that game? I couldn't care less tbh. We won and stayed up, that's the only thing i care about!
From a legal point of view, I’m obviously not making any slanderous remarks against a professional player. I was being slightly facetious too.

But, while I am glad he didn’t save it, it’s always been questionable.
 

With many similarities between now and the infamous '94 campaign under Walker, the question I ask all my fellow blues is: who would you choose?

GK: Southall or Southall?*

LB: Ablett or Mykolenko?
CB: Unsworth or Keane?
CB: Watson or Molgate?
RB: Snoddin or Coleman?

LM: Richarlison or Limpar?
CM: Ebbrell or Allan?
CM: Horne or Gomes?
RM: Stuart or Gray?

CF: Cottee or DCL?
CF: Rideout or Rondon?

@AndyC has assured me that he'll ban anyone who has the audacity to vote for Pickford.

If you were still a twinkle in your dad's cocaine-dilated eyes or under the age of thirty, you may want to watch this:


Chosen on their abilities when they were in Wimbledon escapee time vs the present day

Nev
Ninj
Rhino
Watson
Snoders

Richy
Ebbrell
Horne
Grey

Rideout

The only one I am having difficulty is that Cottee suits Rideout better up front but I'd go for DCL as I think he's the better player.

Cottee was a better goalscorer though
 
I would pick everyone of those older players over today's prima donnas with the exception of DCL over Cottee. Never saw the fuss over Cottee and there where times when he was on the pitch when we may have been as well playing with 10 men.

Walker was worse. Jeez.. Barlow and Angell. That start to 94-95. Shocking! You had to live through it.
