What a great article Ed.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading every word of it.
It read a pretty unbiased article and I totally agree with the part about SG being strong physically ending with Scholes being technically sound.
Pls keeps us entertained with such unbiased and good posts. Well done Ed. 👍👏.

{Ed001's Note - thank you mate. Really glad you enjoyed it.}

Yeah great read ed001. You had me, thought you were going for a final determination of who was the best.

But your conclusion is probably the best. 3 great midfielders.

{Ed001's Note - that was supposed to be the plan, but I can never choose between them without it being purely about bias. That was the problem I had when I sat down to compare them, each time one had an edge in one part of the game, another had an edge in another and the third would have an edge somewhere else. I thought it might give me an answer setting it out like this but it actually muddled my choice even more!}

Good read Ed001 - a very thorough comparison.

{Ed001's Note - thank you mate. I just have to decide which two (or more) people to compare next.}

You now got splinters in your arse Tris?

{Ed001's Note - no mate, never, I just really can't choose between them no matter how many times I am asked. None of them were as good as Xabi Alonso though ;-)

Irrespective of who was the best player, they were all true pros who were committed to their clubs. It’s a shame that they seem to be something of a rarity nowadays. I read Carrick's book about the standards at United, and Crouch’s about the same at Liverpool, those one club men were the benchmark the others had to live up to.

Even as a United fan I can’t pick the best player from them, Lamoards goal record was phenomenal and Gerrard carried that Liverpool team for years. Scholes was surrounded by great players but he still looked incredible. Such a shame we couldn’t get the 3 of them into the same England team.

{Ed001's Note - England were badly mismanaged as the 3 should have been a great trio to work with.}

Nice read Ed. I know you can't split them.

But out of the 3 attributes which would you prefer in your team?

Physicality
Mentality
Technicality.

{Ed001's Note - it really depends on many things. I mean the team around them, the style of play, the league you are competing in etc. Mentality is probably the most important of the lot though, but you might have that already in the team and so need a technical player or someone to drive with the ball etc.}

It's ok, Ed001. We all know you thought it was Scholes.

{Ed001's Note - erm no.}

In the current Liverpool side I should have added ed sorry.

{Ed001's Note - for the midfield I would say technicality is the one most needed right now.}
