decent team tbf & interesting formation to do for them.
I couldn't leave Yaya out of the lineup and the choices for CB's was really tough, so I went 3ATB. Yaya was an awesome midfielder to watch, he could just run through teams with no problems.
To throw my 2 pence on things. I’d have to go 3atb aswell as I couldn’t pick a rb or a lb.

Am I the only one who would pick KDB over David Silva?
Yes and you’d be crazy to
Not sure how you can that given you have Suarez in, Silva beats KDB purely on longevity. Clearly that isn’t a big factor for you
Suarez literally ran the league while he was here, he would be the only person I’d be open to switching someone for but for me (slight bias) he is one of the best strikers to grace the premier league.
He is a totally ❤️❤️❤️❤️ person though I think everyone can agree with that.

Imo, Suarez is the best PL player of the decade, easily.
Edit: The only other 2 players during the PL era that have had the same impact, for me, are Henry and Ronaldo. All 3 of them consistently did stuff that just made you think "wtf did I just see?".
It starts at 0 and goes to 9, 2020 is a new decade. Look it up.
There was no year 0. It went from 1BC to 1AD. Every decade starts at 1, every century starts at 01.
So you are not really alive until you are 1 year old, thanks for clarifying that.
Don't need to reply anymore to it, I know we're right... Liverpool can't/won't win the League this decade as they'll win it next decade if this season in 2020...
Fair play to you, good luck to him, we'll see how much of Pep is his assistants help as well now as Pep will need a new one & Arteta will surely use what he's learnt & his own stuff to use at Arsenal.
I don't understand. Is it for flopped transfers or just underperforming? Falcao has been one of the best strikers this decade and Sanchez before Man United was amazing.

I had the same team except Kev over Yaya when I did the BBC team. Was originally thinking Baines but couldn't find a worthy RB so went 3 ATB.
In regards to the earlier discussion Trent and Robertson don't have the longevity but Van Dijk and Salah have been in the league longer than them while achieving more. If VVD and Salah retired at the end of the season they'd both be considered Premier League greats and shouts for the overall best PL team in history.
Van Dijk has been playing in the PL for 5 years. He joined Southampton in 2015. He's been playing at a high level since joining but it went under the radar because he wasn't at a big club. Longevity is not an issue for him. Only player (other than Terry?) to win PFA Player of the Year as a defender. Easy inclusion into the team of the decade.
Salah also won PFA Player of the Year broke the goal scoring record set by Ronaldo and later matched by Suarez. Salah followed up this with another golden boot proving he wasn't a one season wonder. He definitely deserves a shout but he isn't a lock like Van Dijk. Salah has been elite for 2 and a half years which is 25% of a decade. That's more than enough. In terms of wingers only Hazard has been ahead of Salah this decade and that's solely because of longevity. Salah's peak in 2017-18 was better than any single individual season of Hazard's.

There is no way VVD or Salah would be considered in the best PL team ever if they retired now.

No point arguing it further... it's the mentality of... if you don't agree with me you're wrong, which got us nowhere yesterday, may as well just leave it there before someone else loses their head.
Yeah the guy with two golden boots and the goal scoring record wouldn't be considered for the best ever team
Exactly, I probably wouldn’t include them in mine but not considering them at all is taking it a bit far
I have no issues with them being in the team of the decade as I've said many times. That's an opinion which is debatable.
But the best PL team of all time? I just dont see any argument there, theres been so many other players who have done it for longer and as effective..
If that's you're opinion then ok. But how can two players who have never won the league and have only been at a top level for 2 years be in a premier league best ever team?

Is Messi not the GOAT because he hasn't won a world cup? Winning trophies is a team achievement. One individual can only do so much. We didn't even challenge the year Salah scored 34 goals. Is that his fault? did he not do enough that season to make us title challengers? No it was our poor defense that let us down. Salah had one of the best individual seasons ever and we didn't even challenge proving that one individual can only carry a team so far.

Which is why I said have only been at the top for 2 seasons.
I don't think you need to have won the league but if not then you need to be at the top for more than 2 years..
Either way actually you need to do it for more than 2 years.

Salah is in his third season playing at a top level so its 3 seasons. Van Dijk has been in the league for 5 seasons and played at a high level in at least 3-4. He was a Ballon D'or finalist. Only Owen, Lampard, Beckham, Cantona, Shearer, Gerrard, Ronaldo and Henry have been finalists. All would be considered for the greatest PL team of all time. So why wouldn't Van Dijk?
Rated E For Everyone.

Imma go with flop team of the decade. I couldn't decide who was worse between Andre Santos and Aly Cisokho aka Flavor for the Flava so I put both in.
That's an interesting one aswell
How about Depay and Aquilani?
Depay
Seri-Bakayoko-Aquilani
Cissokho-Mangala-Mustafi-Darmian
Bravo
Genuinely forgot about Depay. Christ. Yea. You could even make an argument for Di Maria as well. United made some big name ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ups didnt they
Bony at City was pretty bad too.
Aquilani I forgot was this decade lol. Just. Couldn't think of many at RB so Darmian seems a decent shout.
I had the same team except Kev over Yaya when I did the BBC team. Was originally thinking Baines but couldn't find a worthy RB so went 3 ATB.
