Playing each other next and rivals for a top four spot. So curious to see how you think our teams compare and what your combined eleven from both sides as they are right now would be.
 
DDG
Dalot - Varane - Martinez - Malacia
Casemiro - Ødegaard
Sancho - Bruno - Martinelli
Jesus​
 
Ramsdale
Dalot Varane Martinez Zinchenko
Casemiro Partey
Saka Odegaard Sancho
Jesus
 
Ask and you shall have

Ramsdale
Dalot - Varane - Martinez - Zinchenko
Fred - Casemiro
Saka - Odegaard - Sancho
Hey Zeus

Their attack is better than ours. Our defence is better than theirs
 
Presumably we are ignoring Man United's first two matches in this equation? especially the one against Brentford. We would have to surely as United conceded in that game as many goals as Arsenal have conceded all year.

Martinez over Saliba. I mean, I dont even know where to begin.
 
DDG

Ramsdale

Dalot Varane Martinez Zinchenko

Casemiro Odegaard Eriksen

Yeah not like your manager tried to buy Martinez to literally play over Saliba or anything.
 
DDG
Dalot - Varane - Martinez - Malacia
Casemiro
Eriksen - Bruno
Antony - Jesus - Sancho​
 
If its not all arsenal players in the XI then there's no point arguing. They are the second coming of the invincibles these days.
 
Dubravka
AWB
Chambers
Maguire
Shaw

Xhaka
Fred

Elanga
Van de Beek
Reiss Nelson

Rashford

Of course there's no such thing as new manager, new league, new tactics compared to Arsenal who have finally got their shit together after bottling last 3 years under the same manager.
 
Fit players only, based on current form (so probably since the start of last season with more weighting being given to this season’s performances).

De Gea
Dalot Varane Martinez Malacia
Partey Casemiro
Saka Odegaard Sancho
Jesus
 
I dont understand the inclusion of DDG?

Is it all forgotten he cost you the chance of competing with Brentford by dropping two howlers to go 2-0 down?

DDG has literally cost United a game. Ramsdale hasnt done anything of the sort.

Its madness
 
DDG
Dalot Varane Martinez Malacia
Casemiro Eriksen
Bruno
Antony Ronaldo Sancho
 
They are top of the league, their attack is miles better than us, so lets not kid ourself selecting players based on our bias.

Base on current standing:

DDG
Dalot - Varane - Martinez - Zinchenko
Casemiro - Partey
Odegaard
Saka - Jesus - Martinelli​

Yeah I agree. It's much easier to discard a howler if someone has played consistently well for an extended stretch with the exception of a few of those mistakes.

But it's only been 5 matches and 1 was a disastrous one.

I don't see the argument for De Gea if we go by the first 5 matches.
 
Going by this very short season, but mixed with overall ability:

Ramsdale
Dalot - Varane - Martinez - Zinchenko
Casemiro - Xhaka
Saka - Odegaard - Sancho
Jesus

Why don’t you just post your 10/11 Arsenal team, and move on to another thread? We know you fancy your team after the opening to this season. It looks like this thought exercise is a little too frustrating for you.

why would you only go by the first five matches though? kinda pointless exercise then..

I'd still pick Ramsdale over DDG, mind-you

I suppose you're right. Everyone's performance will regress to the mean and it should be a discussion about a player's average level of play, rather than picking. Best X1 based on a few matches played this season.

Went from the match day thread and then this one and for some reason assumed a best X1 here would be based on this season (which, ill agree with you, is silly).

Calum Chambers has been at Villa for half a year now. It really is true what they say about United's scouts...
It's funny how trying to name the worst possible team, you had to go get Reiss Nelsson but still named most starting United players :lol:
 
We would have used Martinez at LB and CDM. No way he would have broken the Saliba Gabriel axis

This genuinely annoys me, it comes from United fans too...

He is a CB, not a DM or fullback, he hasn't played there for a couple of years, he played 8 games in the 20/21 (LB and RB) as cover - why would you consider paying £50m for a CB only to play him out of position?

He played in those other three positions about 20% of his career while he was still developing.
 
the Saliba Gabriel axis that hadn't even played one game together at the time

That's because at Caf we call bad players as bad players instead of coming up with excuses like Arsenal fans?

Also if you weren't blind i also named Elanga, player I'm assuming is younger than Nelson.

Also I gave Cedric benefit of doubt, possibly worst player in both squads combined

It’s actually quite debatable imo. Pretty much every position you can make an argument for a United or Arsenal player.

Ramsdale
Dalot - Varane - Martinez - Zinchenko
Casemiro - Eriksen
Saka - Odegaard - Sancho

Did you just create an argument in your own head ? Excuses ? Where did i disagree that Nelson or Xhaka (i'd still take him over McT btw) are "bad" Arsenal players ?
And i don't know why the age criteria is making an appearance all of a sudden...
Load of nonsense saved by the Cedric line on which most people would agree. ;)

Then why the feck are you moaning about Nelson,

You can take whoever you want, who even cares. Go and post your list, as simple as that. Or is it too hard for you? You can always get help online.

You are just posting nonsense now, if age is not criteria (in your head at least) then not sure why you moaning about Nelson, or maybe you just randomly moan for the sake of it.

Edit: also chambers was a mistake, meant to name Holding. I mean it doesn't matter. Both shit players, just at different levels.
 
Can someone photoshop ten Hag with Arteta's hair?

It's easier to photoshop Arteta with ten Hag's hair.
 
Its really too early for this. Ask Arsenal fans and they'd probably only take Casemiro at the moment due to how well they've started.

IMO a lot of the players are interchangeable based on form. The CBs and front 3s could be ours or there's depending on form.

I'm not moaning about him, i'm just saying it's weird to go get someone who hasnt played for Arsenal for 3 years and at the same time pick United ones that litteraly started and played 24h ago if your intent was to make a rubbish team. Just a small observation that has triggered you into a rage :lol: Your mistake is forgiven, don't worry.
Age was not a criteria in the OP, you just created your own tangent and complain that nobody else is using it :wenger: I don't know if you wake up early or hasn't gone to bed yet but you need some rest mate. Or coffee, lots of it.

Oh yeah i forgot, i seeked help and can now post mine:

Ramsdale
Tomiyasu-Varane-Saliba-Martinez
Casemiro-Partey
Saka-Odegaard-Martinelli
Jesus

Here, i had more stimulus doing that than interacting with one of your scouts.
