Good servant or did he have far too much say. For me he's an example of everything that was bad about the club at the time.

Would anyone from this PL Lineup get into our current team?

Does Xhaka have too much to say now?

Is there really a comparison
In that respect yes...because you are asking whether he had too much to say - when he was our captain for large periods.
In terms of ability, no - he was nowhere near Xhaka's level.
O’Shea, at his best, walks into the team.
O’Shea, on his Sunderland peak, probably not.
Other two yes. Easily an upgrade, even though the current GK & Striker are playing well.
I’m getting old, there are names on there I can’t even recall playing for us.

More likely your brain has elected to forget them to protect your well-being. Some of them send a shudder down your spine recalling how bad they were/things were at the time.I’m getting old, there are names on there I can’t even recall playing for us.

He was passed it and should have been replaced several times by then, but talk of being a bad egg is absolutely nonsense. Players like him speaking up when Di Canio was here is what should happen when a lunatic who hasn't worked since is given the job. Just listen to how people speak of each of them.

Let’s have both Xhaka and Henderson, Hendo comes on on 75 mins to see the game out

The thing is I wouldn't have Sunderland O'Shea over 09. Not even sure I'd have prime O'Shea over him tbh.
I agree. He was poor for us and made a lot of mistakes. It's no coincidence him (and Cattermole) were part of our double relegation team for me.

Prime O’Shea was a significantly superior footballer to Luke O’Nien. Haway man.
Cattermole barely played in the first relegation (no coincidence we went down?) and was finished as a player at a decent level thereafter.

Was he though? Was he? If we'd signed him from Carlisle, or let's say Wycombe, no-one would give a shit about O'Shea.
Also, if you think Cattermole would save us from PL relegation, you're as deluded as a Mag. This guy couldn't get us out of League One either.

Yes he was. And no, we didn’t sign him from Carlisle. We signed him from a club where he made 400 appearances and won every major trophy on offer domestically and internationally. He then made 200 appearances for us in the top flight and captained us in a cup final.
It’s borderline insanity to suggest he wasn’t a better player than O’Nien man!

I think we'll defo beat that points total. And yeah you can see why.
Our best XI this season is superior in every position, imo/
The only team to really compare to this seasons in my lifetime is the Reid team. I think our current team is better than any team in our last prem spell and we'll prove that by both points total and position.
