Jamie Carragher, Vincent Kompany, Yaya Toure, David Silva, Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba, Sergio Aguero & Eric Cantona: Liverpool's Premier League Legend Selects Best International Team

Former Liverpool great has selected his greatest-ever EPL international line-up, and it's full of Manchester City players, and also some surprises. Did he pick Vincent Kompany, Yaya Toure, David Silva, Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba, Sergio Aguero and Eric Cantona, and which did he snub?

"Watching David Silva's mesmerising display last weekend got me thinking: where does the Manchester City winger stand among the great foreign players who have graced our game?" he explained. "We have been blessed since the inception of the Barclays Premier League to see a number of players arrive here and produce performances that have ensured their names will stand the test of time, but could you make a team out of them? So, as it is international week, I've decided to do something different and name what I consider to be the best foreign XI of the modern era. It hasn't been easy and some big reputations have had to miss the cut. See whether you agree with this..."

Kompany, Toure and Silva all made the team. He explained that that "the biggest compliment I can pay the Belgian (Kompany) is that if he maintains his standards for the next four or five years - and City are successful at home and abroad - he could outstrip John Terry as the Premier League's greatest defender. He has the elegance of Rio Ferdinand and the steel of Nemanja Vidic. Speaking of him..."

He revealed that Henry and Drogba would make his team, but Aguero and Cantona would not. He continued" "I've used this analogy before and I make no apology for using it again. When he hit top gear and ran past you, it was like trying to chase after someone on a motorbike. When Arsenal were 'The Invincibles' in the period between 2003-2004, Henry rivalled Ronaldinho as the best in the world. A great goal-scorer, not to mention a scorer of great goals, he is the finest player I have seen in the Premier League. His game didn't have a weakness. Now for the hard bit."

Do you agree with some of his key selections, and which of these players were/are the best?
