What a great team that was, the best team ever I would say. It was a shame they underachieved. Kanchelskis was fantastic and as many say Schmeichel's throws down the wing we phenomenal. We were fantastic on the break, a thrill to watch!

They didn't underachieve at all, 7 of that 11 were considered 'foreigners' when Uefa had the 3 foreign player rule, it shafted us big time. Liverpool would have never won 4 European cups in the 70's and 80's had the same rule been in effect.

Wasn't that the team that demolished City at Old Trafford? (5-0 iirc)

I personally though, would play Giggs on the left and Kanchelskis on the right. Likewise I would have Neville as right back and Irwin as Left back

I think thats where they are better suited...

Gary Nev wasnt a starter yet, Paul Parker was the first choice RB then.

And how come Giggs/Irwin are on the right wing and G.Nev/kanchelskis on the left wing???

 

[mavric]

I was too young to recall why Kanchelskis was sold....what was the reason? What's the official story and all these baggage that you're all referring to?

 

[mu3924]

For United. His game suited the Prem. He didn't get many chances in Europe, but I do recall him being poor each time he played.

Just look at the way he failed in the Serie A.

17 years late to the conversation but just come across this. He only really played in Europe in the 94/95 season and scored and assisted in the Gothenburg home game, was motm imo against Barcelona at home, and was injured for the last group game against Galatasaray, so he didn't do too bad really.

Kanchelskis

 

[Pexbo]

My memories of Kanchelskis are my first venture into fantasy league back in the mid 90s when player scores were printed weekly in the paper and you had to keep a record yourself and he absolutely smashed it for me

 

[GueRed]

Beckham. World Class player who ran his bollocks off for the team.

Loved Kanchelskis mind.
Who doesnt love a fast, exciting goalscoring winger?

 

[Jeppers7]

Kanchelskis was superb for us…..BUT it’s not even close. Beckham was phenomenal for us, absolutely phenomenal in a team that won the treble he was our best player that season in a team full of great performers.

I respect opinions, but anyone who thinks Kanchelsis was better than Beckham probably has some other form of agenda than purely football.

 

[Ladron de redcafe]

Who'd you have on the right side of your team?

Andrei, is that you?

 

[Ixion]

What a bump this is. Loved Kanchelskis hes the kind of winger I like to watch but Beckham was the better player overall.

Weirdly I was thinking about this yesterday. I concluded that whilst I personally preferred Kanchelskis, I’d probably have to reluctantly pick Beckham. Similarly with Van Nistelrooy over Hughes.

He had his famous hatrick against City in a 5-0 win at a rainy Old Trafford that same season, and had another phenomenal match in a 4-2 win at Ewood park. That might have been the best version of Kanchelskis, but Beckham was more than adequate in replacing him.

 

[2cents]

Kanchelskis was so exciting to watch, but Beckham’s a bit underrated and wins this comfortably enough.

 

[M Bison]

Becks, 100%

 

[sdb4884]

Not even close, Beckham.

 

[MacGlock88]

Interesting question.
It would be Beckham, my choice.

The Thread looks to have 34 offers.

21 Beckham,
13 Kanchelskis.

 

[Hughie77]

No brainer, Becks, he wasn't the best running with the ball didn't need to, he left the ball do the work, the ball could travel quicker than a player , his deliveries where the bollocks, and it's been made even more prevalent in today's football on how good he real was, any striker attacking CM would love to play in a team with a guy who would find you not just hope to find you.

 

[Morpheus 7]

Beckham easily, 99 treble and champions league run. Rewatch the level of contribution and assists of important goals. Not even a debate, ridiculous. Andrei was lightning but let's face it, hardly went on to do great things.

 

[Comet49]

Beckham, was miffed when Kanchelski left though.

 

[Garethw]

Beckham by miles.

 

[Garethw]

With Beckhams delivery from the right even a half finished Ronaldo would be scoring 30 headed goals a season.

 

[Pickle85]

Surprising this was a discussion tbh. Becks by a long way...just had more in his armory. Loved watching Andrei play and if the question was 'who would you back 1v1 against an oppo fullback' it would be him, no question. But becks delivery was something else, dead ball and in open play, his short passing was tidy (better than AK's) and his work rate was phenomenal.

 

[Stookie]

In before the lock. Beckham for sure.

 

[ForeverRed1]

Peak beckham was exceptional. Him all day long.

 

[Thebaldingbob]

Kanchelskis every time.
Had pace, could dribble, could shoot with either foot and head a ball.
Beckham only had a great right foot, didn’t have pace, couldn’t dribble and don’t remember him ever heading a ball.

You're doing Beckham a massive disservice with that description! Between 98-02 he was phenomenal. Not just his right foot or freekicks or assists. But his general workrate, his passion and desire to succeed were 2nd to none. For me, alongside Keane and giggs he would've been the 1st few names on the team sheet.

Definitely do not remember kanchelskis being good in the air.

 

[Jericho]

Wasn't watching during Kanchelskis time. When was his peak? Statistically it looks like it was his final season with us, but why then did we send him on his way to Everton?

 

[Carl]

Not really sure what kind of player Beckham would be if he was a modern day player. Kanchelskis, on the other hand, would be so fecking dangerous as a wide forward.

 

[DWelbz19]

Beckham really was the best player in the world for at least one season in 99. Top three in another.

 

[Bestofthebest]

Kanchelskis was the fastest player I can remember. No stuttering with the ball at his feet ( can you this might be? )
Very strong as well. However, I think Becks was better all round player and a real graftaholic.

 

[wolvored]

Lets face it,you haven't won anything since Beckham left.You should have kept him,not forced him out.

No white text? We won more since Beckham left than Liverpool won in the last 30 years.

 

[Lay]

In 2005 they would have no idea that we would have no right winger for about a decade
