Best All English XI of Premier League era

Post by LincsWoldsClaret » Tue Feb 27, 2024 4:44 pm

According to The Athletic…

Pope; Trippier, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Blake, Cork, Westwood, McNeil; Barnes, Ings

Not too far wrong?

For us, Vokes was better than Barnes.

If we're talking purely whilst they were with us, then you'd have to think about Wood seeing as he is our top Premier League goalscorer. Obviously not all time top flight scorer as that's not what the post is about.

I think we once played an all-English XI under Dyche. Possibly not the starting XI, but the XI on the pitch after some subs came on.

I'd swap Westwood for Barton, and Barnes for Jay, who probably scored more Premier League goals than Ings to be fair

Think George Boyd would have to be a sub,really underrated,but his energy was a big factor in the team.

I'd have Boyd ahead of Blake in my team. Apart from the goal v Man United, Blake didn't really do much in the PL for Burnley.
