You really think that Seaman as he was would play as a professional goalkeeper? And that Pearce would play left back in the premiership? If you're talking relative then sure, but if we're talking actual then most players simply weren't good enough athletes to play top tier now

Assuming players back then would have modern sports science, nutrition and training so that different eras are on the same footing then yes. Seaman and Pearce and by a long way.

Pearce would destroy the modern day EPL fitness wise. He was one of the strongest fittest player of that era. I witnessed him getting sent off at Filbert St (tighty might have been there) for Forest when he nearly broke Paul Reid's legs twice in the first 30 minutes of a league game in the late 80s. Both tackles would be auto 3 match bans and straight red's in the modern era. Of all those players most suited to cope with the phsyical demands of the EPL Pearce would adapt the easiest by a mile.

Absolutely this. And Seaman over Hart every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Obviously apart from when he was getting lobbed by Nayiiiim.... |

Joe Hart is one of England's most over rated keepers ever. He has had an extension to his soft rein with Butland's injury. The clock is ticking Joe enjoy it while it lasts.

Pleno would bench Maradona for Milner given the chance if he's sticking Dier ahead of Ince .

Physical limitations - Paul Ince? Really? He'd eat Dier for breakfast then go for a five mile run. 10x the player Dier is.

Don't even think Anderton/mcmanaman would be under threat, our wide options are shit. Who knows how good, Kane, dier, fullbacks, alli are, but to choose them over established England greats is ridiculous. Our big hopes are just that, the ppl you are comparing them to, have proven their level. Hart shouldn't start instead of Forster who is potentially an England great and hart for me is limited to being very good, good enough for any club but never destined to bother the overall argument England great or best keeper in the world today.

Given that we played three at the back that day then Pearce could easily lose out to Smalling, and both McManaman and Anderton would be bettered by most of today's crop of wide players who have a far greater awareness of the need to work without the ball.
I'd say that any of the current squad's 'full backs' would be sufficiently better defensively to outweigh the reduction in threat levels.
Hard to make a case for replacing any of the others though.

Anyone know more about Italy's team, odds would suggest de Rossi may not start but I would assume he does

They have a lot of injury issues in midfield, so it's not clear who will be fit |
