Makelele was incredible.Not a bad shout.. who would rival him? Did Busquets do enough out of possession to match him? Probably didn't get the same help that Casemiro was afforded by those around him as the years went on.
Souness to be fair to him always looks class when there's an old Liverpool game on the telly. Never saw enough of Makelele.
Holds nose, but Vieira? Suppose it depends on whether he's 'defensive' enough. You could say he was more box to box.
