Phube Posted 27 March 2007 Share Posted 27 March 2007 After listening to the Moan-In last night with Walshie and him talking about O'Neill, it got me thinking. Even though I know he played his part in many important games (Palace playoff, Arsesanl 3-3, Fulham League Cup), I don't think of Steve Walsh as a MON player?? This in turn lead me to thinking about what I consider 'THE' MON XI: GK: Keller CB: Taggart CB: Elliott CB: Sinclair LWB: Guppy CM: Savage CM: Lennon CM: Izzet RWB: Impey CF: Claridge CF: Heskey Subs: Flowers, Kaamark, Prior, Marshall, Cottee. Any thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts?? Agree with most of that but I'd have Kaamark in for Mad Frankie and Stan Collmore in for Steve Claridge. Always regret that the Collymore signing didn't work out. I thought Collymore and Heskey up front would have been an awesome long-term partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts?? Kaamark was a Mark McGhee signing. Maybe Theo could take his place on the bench. I'd also have Flowers in goal ahead of Keller.

Phube Posted 27 March 2007 Author Share Posted 27 March 2007 Just to reiterate, this isn't the best team under Martin's regime... or even Matin's best signing. It's more of a 'When you think of a MON side, what team do you instantly think about' they might not have even played together!! Weird I know... but that's me!!!

Have to say I completely agree with your starting XI as the quintessential MON side. Although for some reason I'd have Eadie on the bench instead of Prior!

Stef Oakes had his moments as well and the bald batty boy slammed home a few tidy long rangers!!!! As a matter of fact, I can come up with a reason why all of them are better than the reprobates we employ today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommeh Posted 27 March 2007 Share Posted 27 March 2007 Whenever somebody mentions the MON era I always think of 3 players that really stand out: Cottee - scored winner v man utd at Old Trafford in 98 Guppy - was my favourite player growing up and got his name on the back of my earlier shirts Elliott - Tranmere Wortho cup I'll always remember his two goals, This is where I think as a club we really peaked and it seemed to be pretty much downhill after this - Heskey left the following week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultra Posted 27 March 2007 Share Posted 27 March 2007 God those were the days eh? When you remember back to where we were, an established Premiership side then and look where we are now it's sad. But you have to believe those days will eventually return, though possibly not under the current manager. Peaks and troughs have been constant features throughout our club's history. By the way, anyone who thinks Walshy is somehow NOT part of a MON XI is doing the pair of them a massive disservice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 28 March 2007 Share Posted 28 March 2007 I always think: Flowers Sinclair Elliott Taggart Impey Guppy Savage Lennon Izzet Heskey Cottee Yep, this would be mine as well. Basically the first-choice XI for the first half of the 1999/2000 season. The previous three and a half seasons under O'Neill, the team never really had a settled feel to it but this was the definitive O'Neill first XI for me.
