[Football] Best Opposition 11 of the Amex years

[happypig]

We've seen some world class players at the Amex over the last couple of years but who would you put in an all-time Amex Opposition 11 based solely on their performance on the day ? Any Championship players who stood out ?

I'll start by offering Eden Hazard who tore us a new one and Çağlar Söyüncü whom we'd not have got past on a motor bike.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Coutinho was unplayable on the day.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Kevin de Bruyne is a shoo-in. Or shoe-in if you prefer. Ginger genius

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Jamie Vardy is always an absolute menace. Suppose you would have to include that element of human scum Zaha. Murray as well always haunted us when playing here against us.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Tom Heaton for Burnley last year, and Ben Foster for Watford too. Chris Hughton would probably still be our manager if those two hadn't had blinders

 

[JJ McClure]

Seem to recall that Middlesbrough went through a sequence of beating us at the Amex and Daniel Ayala always looked good.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Hazard by a million miles...game changer on each occasion aside from the friendly where he was quiet!

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Ademola Lookman for Charlton.

 

[MattBackHome]

Vydra in that game we were swatted aside by Watford.
Van Dijk looked about 7ft tall against us
Matt Ritchie always plays very well against us.
Vardy obvs
I'm sure I remember walking away from the Amex one day gong on about how Barry Bannan had been taking the piss.
In terms of a midfield pair; Clayton and Leadbitter were somewhat intimidating in their pomp

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That Ashley Barnes of Burnley always causes us problems. Sign him up! Oh.

 

[A mex eyecan]

Hazard by a million miles...game changer on each occasion aside from the friendly where he quiet!

this with bells on.

he was everywhere, yet illusive. It was like he was on one of those pantomime trap door thingys. Not standing there, oh here i am, gone again, oh i’m over here, gone again ...

 

[Easy 10]

Hazard
Willian
Coutinho

All absolutely breathtaking and unplayable. Even though we were getting properly dry-humped at the time, you just had to sit back and savour their skills on the ball. A true privilege to watch players of that class and ability live.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Hazard and Coutinho have to be the first names on the team sheet.

Vardy always plays well against us.

 

[Brok]

There have been one or two VAR officials who have stuffed us too...

 

[pasty]

Hazard
Willian
Coutinho

Those Chelsea and Liverpool matches were the only times I have been properly overawed by what I was watching since we've been in The Premier League.

Yep, likewise. I was sat there thinking "so THIS is the Premier League then...bloody hell". Those three were stand-out sensational in those two games the first season after we came up. My eyes were on stalks.

 

[HP Seagull]

We struggled to cope with Liam Trotter one year when he played for Millwall. I remember thinking we looked scared to tackle him. He looked head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch.

Honourable mention to Paddy McCourt as well (the Barnsley version who scored that wonder goal, absolutely not when he played for us).

He looks that tall because he nearly is.

 

[The Wizard]

David Marshall for Cardiff(I think) don’t remember what year at the Amex the guy seemed to literally save everything against us.

 

[B-right-on]

Those Chelsea and Liverpool matches were the only times I have been properly overawed by what I was watching since we've been in The Premier League.

This. Those front 3 of Liverpool were just insane. Salah, Coutinho and Firmino. The speed at which they played was just awe inspiring.
