Of course you're judging it off 'the last six months' - because that's the time frame that most suits you. If it was a season, or 2 seasons, you know that Arsenal players wouldn't stand up to it. You've adjusted the timeline to suit your agenda.
Stats will show me what? That you haven't come even remotely close to winning the league? I don't care if you've played well for periods of time, that doesn't justify 5 of your players (6 with a new arrival) getting in to a starting 11. Arsenal players play well when no pressure is on them, shock of the day winner. Looking good when there's little on the line is what a lot of your players do best, so you'll forgive me for not rushing to throw them in to a starting 11 on the basis of that.
Oh, so one outlying result renders the entire voting wrong? Look at the team of the year from last season, how many do you disagree with? Not many could argue with any of the positions, they're all justified. There's obviously some biases here and there, but the overall picture is generally quite fair.
Danny Rose excessively hyped up by the media? Didn't see a single story about him last season. He was rarely talked about, if anything he went under the radar despite being one of our most improved players. In what area does he trump Monreal? Actually being an attacking threat..maybe? Rose regularly shreds teams down the left hand side, he's absolutely rapid and has excellent dribbling ability. I wonder who an opposing team would be more frightened of? Anticipation, forward passing? Come on now. Rose opens up space for our attacking players in a way Monreal never could due to his physical limitations.
Hazard is a better player, that's all I'll say. His top level is higher than Sanchez's, he's up there next to Aguero as the two players who can just destroy you on their own.
As I have stated numerous times...people have selected Pogba because he is arguably a world class midfielder - up there with the likes of Kroos, Modric, Busquets, Vidal etc. I still don't agree with putting him in an 11 because he hasn't even played in the Premier League, but it's certainly more justifiable than putting Xhaka in there, who most people hadn't even heard of before last season. At the end of this you seem to actually put Xhaka up there as a footballer on par with Pogba, seriously? It's like me comparing Alli to Pogba.
No chance Xhaka is 'better in the air' than Dier or Matic. No chance. You're commenting on players performances from 18 months back, but another 6 months is too much for you? I'm basing it on players top level, if we're doing this purely on form it'd be a very different starting 11. Matic has proven himself in his first season at Chelsea as a brilliant DM, even the likes of Hazard looked dreadful last season. Xhaka has never proven himself in the Premier League, not once. He's also incredibly rash with an awful red card record, so let's see how he does in a physical Prem, when he's constantly being niggled at and wound up.
Yes, there is though. Because he's never even done it in the Prem. Honestly, only an Arsenal fan would put Xhaka in a Premier League XI, it's ridiculous. The guy wasn't even shortlisted for the Bundesliga Team of the Season for god sake. Dahoud, Vidal, Gundogan and Baumgartlinger were all ahead of him. Utterly preposterous to immediately stick him in a best 11 for the Premier League.
