Rudolf Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Given we've got our best team since the Burley days, how many of the current team would get a game over the class of 05/06? Here's my select, feel free to disagree. 442 Gordon Robbie (only for that tackle in the final) Zaliukas Webster (before he became a tit) Wallace (10/11 version) Templeton Hartley Rudi (05/06 version although the current model would get a game too) Driver Bednar Jankauskas Very hard having to leave out Bruno and Takis but we need two wide players I think. Only weakness at right back and I can't remember the last time we had a really good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 We have won a few games, the team in 2005/2006 was much better. However, Neilson was terrible and I would gamble and go a little more gung ho with two attacking wide men, those are the only changes I can see.

Taffin Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 05/06 team was the best squad of players we have had in my lifetime, no questions asked, the pedigree of player was outstanding.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Gordon Neilson Pressley Webster Fyssas Hartley Brellier Templeton Skacel Driver Jankauskas Maybe a bit controversial to leave Bednar out as him and Jankauskas had a great partnership but Julien Brellier was such an important element of the 05/06 side as he let the forward thinking players attack and do their thing. Jankauskas was a class act and him and Takis Fyssas were far too good for this league. We had the best defence in the league in 05/06 and they had such a solid link and as much as I like Zaliukas as he's really important to the current team, Pressley was a terrific leader and such an inspirational captain and him and Andy Webster formed a brilliant partnership in the middle of defence.

Albert Finney Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Gordon (Kello on the bench) Neilson (he wasn't particularly good but there isn't anyone any better in the current side) Fysass (one of my all time favourite players...possibly coloured by his "Champions League" song) Pressley (I know, I know but his partnership with Webster was fabulous that season) Webster (I know, I know but his partnership with Pressley was fabulous that season) Templeton Skacel (2005 or now...the chap is a class act) Hartley Brellier (I just don't think that Jonsson or any of the other central midfielders we currently have do what Brellier did) Jankauskas Bednar So for me only Templeton would make it into the team. I think I have surprised myself with that. Kello, Wallace, Kyle and Mrowiec have all really impressed me this season (and of course Templeton) but the team of 2005 was just spectacularly good and I'm not sure that we will ever have that sort of quality again. It will be interesting to see what the current team achieves by the seasons end; second place is, I think, beyond any non Old Firm side but a Scottish Cup win would be a remarkable achievement and match up very well indeed with the 2005 side.

Henry Smith saves Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Lets blow smoke up each other's erses once we've actually done something this season. We've won a few games so far. So what? Marathon not a sprint. To compare a Champions League qualification team with this year's side is a bit premature! A couple of returns from injury, maybe a new arrival in Jan and a day out in May, then we can compare 1998, 2006 with 2011!

ToadKiller Dog Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Cant put Takis in as our best ever left back ,Football is a different game in many ways from other eras also i dont think he played for us for long enough to be in that bracket. I would say technically and maybe even his approach to the game He was superior to any left back i have seen live play for us since i could judge such a thing , I would say Big Janny at his best in the middle and second half of that season and until he got bored was one of the most technically gifted i have seen but would not put him near our best ever hearts forward .

Coco Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Only conceivable change from the first choice Burley side would be either Templeton or Driver for Miko/Chesney.

And you cant just use the logic than a cup winner is a better player than a non cup winner cos thats crazy. And all of 98 over 06? No to Gordon then? Or fyssas? The quality of opposition has dropped a hell of a lot. We played better teams in 98, thatn we did in 2005, and now we are playing a weeker quality in 2010. The OP asked who my team would be. The 98 cup win meant more than to me than 2005. The 2005 was magical but just not as sweet. Saying that the 2005 team have won a cup, and if this lot bring me a trophy they will be in the same breath and deserve to be talked about in the same breath as the cup winners. I love this team now, but im not IN love as i am with the 98 and 05 teams (in love is a gay term, but hey it works for me) ps I ****KKKKING LOVE PRESSLEY. Anyone who doesnt is off their rocker and musnt have had a season ticket through his years at the club. 110% every time. He was forced out. Mr Romanov.

Tazio Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Takis was certainly the most intelligent full back I have seen Scotland.
