Manchester United- Liverpool Combined 11 (Neville X Carragher)

[Desert Eagle]

Spoiler: Trigger warning

So according to them 8 liverpool players are in automatically . Allison, TAA, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, VVD, Salah and Mane. That leaves 3 spots open. A center back, a number 10 and a forward.

Carragher went for Matip, Bruno and Greenwood.

Neville went for Maguire, Firmino and Ronaldo.

No Pogba, Rashford or Varane in either team.

Neville going for Firmino over Bruno is incredible

.

My combined 11 would be: Allison, TAA, Varane, VVD, Robertson, Fabinho, Pogba, Bruno, Salah, Greenwood, Ronaldo.

 

[Skills]

They never discuss, who they'd have managing the combined XI

 

[rimaldo]

if there is a difference, we went 2-0 down to win 3-2, they did it the wrong way round. and they needed a red card. pretty clear that all previous honours should move across to us, leaving us with 39 league titles.

I wonder why

Mine would be: Ddg, TAA, Varane, VVD, Robertson, Fabinho, Pogba, Hendo, Sallah, Ronaldo, Mane.

Not been much between them over the last two seasons, tbf. This season Greenwood has been one of our only attackers showing up

Interesting you put DDG and Rashford above Allison and Mane. DDG was a freak shot stopper in his prime, I feel like Allison is the complete deal and controls all facets of the game.

Peak DDG was the best goalkeeper in the world for a season, especially for a team that would basically concede 1/2 chances a game, right now and the past 2 seasons obviously Allison has been far superior.

De Gea in his prime never made clear and obvious mistakes that lead to goals, Allison has made a shit ton in the short period of time he's been in the league. You can honestly go from the Sunderland league cup tie under Moyes all the way through to the 19/20 season and I don't remember a howler from DDG

Comparing both players peak De Gea wins and its not even close. Obviously just over the last few seasons Allison has been better (while still as I say made a shit ton of errors)

Maguire over Varane surely if it's "based on top level shown in the PL previously".

Varane has played 5 games in the Prem.

 

[Ixion]

Only United fans would pick mostly United players.

 

[Andersonson]

Only United fans would pick mostly United players.

Indeed.

Bruno and Ronaldo are the only ones who are certain. Varane maybe if you count his top form for Real/France.

 

[Revan]

I would go with:

Alisson

TAA Varane VVD Robertson

Fabinho Pogba

Salah Bruno Mane

Ronaldo​

De Gea has been the best keeper in the league this season, but Alisson has been better than him in the past two seasons, albeit not as good as De Gea at his best. So I would still keep Alisson there.

I think the defense picks itself.

Henderson has a claim over Pogba, or him getting Pogba’s position with Pogba getting Bruno’s.

The three attacking positions pick themselves.

We have a far better bench though. For example, the second team would probably look like:

De Gea

AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw

Fred Henderson

Greenwood Firminho Rashford

Cavani​

Think this is very debatable especially if you look at goalkeeping than more than shot stopping and making errors.

Go on then debate it

 

[Sandikan]

It does really depend on whether you're doing this on who is actually the better player, or who is playing well / maximising their role etc.

Surely no-one in the world believes Hendo is better than Pogba for example, but Hendo is probably more consistently effective at what he does than Pogba for us.

Wan Bissaka Varane VVD Robertson

Fabinho Henderson

Unfortunately, Neville not picking Bruno is not that incredible because Gary's a dick. Tries way too hard to be edgy/different.. just pick Bruno as 10, noone is going to say "that's United bias".

Difficult to make a case for many others to be fair though... their weakest area is probably Central midfield and so is ours. Not that excited about Mane, goes through long patches of doing nothing... even Liverpool posters on here have said so.

Over TAA?

 

[AjaxCunian]

Go on then debate it

Allisson is much better with his feet, has a better kick on the ball which helps to progress play, better at penalties, more commanding in the box and seems to be able to organise his defense much better, (but that has to do with VVD, and better coaching in general I'd say), quicker to come off his line (which is a great tool for defending).

De Gea had generational reflexes, great diving, freak levels, probably unseen for that period. Allison in modern football for me, is more useful though if you look past "a goalkeeper is there to make saves" so the best saving goalkeeper is the best.

 

[Deery]

Over TAA?

No hate him.

 

[LuisNaniencia]

No way should Robertson be automatically over Shaw IMO.

Mane hasn’t been that good for a long time still pops up with goals because it’s well Liverpool but not automatic anymore.

 

[NoPace]

Mane-Bruno-Salah
Pogba-Fabinho-Henderson
Robertson-VVD-Varane-TAA
Allison

Play Klopp’s style with Bruno as a more lethal false 9 type. Cristiano main man off the bench and Shaw for Robertson after he’s run his ass off for an hour or so. Not sure who would come in the midfield; VDB might fit really well in this system so he’d be my guess. Varane short hook too, Matip has been great for a while.

 

[cyberman]

Rashford over Mane, Ronaldo up top. Shaw left back, Varane, and Bruno. Rest Liverpool.

Jamie trying to be too clever by leaving Ronaldo out sums him up as a pundit

 

[Remember the geese]

Mine would be:

Alisson, Shaw, Varane, Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, Ronaldo, Salah.

Don't think that midfield would work, but it looks nice.

 

[RuudTom83]

I think it would be more fun if Carragher was the Liverpool manager and Gary the United manager, then take it turns to pick a team from all the players in both squads...but they couldn't have any duplicate players.
So first pick Carragher, then Gary picks.

Then one team would have Van Dijk, but you'd miss out on Salah (probably)

 

[Revan]

No way should Robertson be automatically over Shaw IMO.

He should this season. Since he went to Liverpool, the only season Shaw was better was the last one.

 

[Bwuk]

If I was picking the side. Has everything in it. Went with Cavani over Ronaldo purely as the side has enough goalscorers in it, and he presses a lot better.

Allison
Trent - Varane - VvD - Robertson
Fabinho - Pogba
Salah - Bruno - Mane
Cavani​

 

[Skills]

He should this season. Since he went to Liverpool, the only season Shaw was better was the last one.

Has Robertson done anything of note this season?

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

These combined 11’s are always Liverpool dominant due to us always being shite leading up to these games. Put Klopp in our dugout and it’s the opposite way round.

 

[Mainoldo]

klopp wouldn’t pick Bruno so I don’t see anything wrong with what Nev said.

 

[Sandikan]

Knowing GNev at times, I'm surprised he didn't try and put 12 Scousers in there

 

[cyberman]

He should this season. Since he went to Liverpool, the only season Shaw was better was the last one.

Robertson hasn’t had a great start to the season while Shaw came off a monster season last year and was one of the best players in the Euros over the summer.
it’s Shaw all day long
