I'm amazed of all the teams mentioned Strachan has hardly been put in best Bielsa side. I'd of thought he'd be a shoe in with his talents and work rate? Suppose we all see things different.

I put the original post up, my bench would consist of,
Harvey, madeley, Matteo, Batty, Sheridan, Strachan, Charles.
A lot of these players could play multiple positions, however, I think Batts lack of effort for training may end him on bench, for me, if between him or Phillips contending for the number 4 role with billy.

He is indeed but I went for Lorimer, who could also do a bit.

Very valid point Cork however, when I went for my own team they were not necessarily the best players by ability on a FIFA ratings perspective.

For myself, it was the memories they invoke and the excitement they brought to me at the time. I’m 57 so the 92 Wilko times were just magical for me. Also we weren’t always successful and I nearly went for Ian Baird as he always appeared like he would sooner die than lose a game. Which is why I went for Sniffer I thought he was just magical and cool too with the one are salute after scoring. (no Shearer you were not first! )

In midfield I JUST went for Mcallister over Strachan as I loved his ability to create, he certainly never had the all action performance like Strach’s but to me he always seemed like a thoroughbred race horse against many of the guys and thunder midfielder’s of the time.

So the best for me certainly not the best ever, hence no John Charles my dad still raves about him as being one of the best ever period! I just don’t remember him hence my Leeds team which takes me most to my happy place when Nurse says.

Strachan a complete Bielsa type player as with Pablo.

Both Strachan and Pablo both have been absolutely VITAL players, catalysts for Leeds United success as without them Leeds United would respectively NOT have been promoted in seasons 1989-1990 and 2019-2020.

For me it’s easy to put Strachan on the wing as I never saw Lorimer but if post was all time I think I’d have to go for Lorimer over Strachan (just)

I know most have Bremner down as our greatest ever player and I can see why but for me Lorimer beats billy as greatest ever player. He made his debut for Leeds at 15 and played till he was 124. Hardest shot in football top scorer and could play as well . I never was lucky enough to see them play but looking over the fottage which I have done for many an hour gray and lorminer are the two that make me smile the most.
