Its a bit of a generalisation saying Henry doesnt perform in big games
I think it's a bit of a myth when considering the goals he's scored against United/Chelsea/Liverpool and other European giants, but you've evaded my point. Drogba is the best big game player around and people would've chosen him earlier if they knew every game would be aganst top quality teams with an array of world class talent. That's the problem....

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

People are just picking the best fucking team they can. There not thinking about whether people will play well in a certain game. If your gonna do that you might as well judge on whether they play well in the fucking cold.

I think what scholes is saying is that you could end up with a team winning who nobody thinks is actually the best side, you could have the 2 best sides play each other obviously one goes out and then the winner faces a team who we might consider could beat them in that particular game...but they wouldn't be considered the best team

I don't think it would be possible to judge it over a season, most people will judge it over that particular game

Yes, people are picking the best team they can...

I agree with that, so are you for or against one-off matches?

Exactly...so surely a fairer reflection of a side's greatness would be to judge them overall, as a team, like you would do for Man United at the start of a season...and not on the basis of one game where for instance, DaG's side might be well-equipped to beat Ant's, but poorly equipped to beat mine, whilst my side might be well-equipped to beat DaG's, and poorly equipped to beat Ant's...and hence, it becomes a game of ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS, where the best side overall doesn't actually win.

I think we should just look at each individual starting XI and make a judgment individually on each team, without thinking about how Y team would perform against X team, and how X' 4-3-3 formation would be exposed by Y's 4-4-2 etc. etc. blah blah blah.

Not being stubborn at all...as like I said, I'm more than happy to make a poll...just trying to resolve it fairly.
