I hate to say it but Ashley Cole was the better player. Do not want Cole to be in there given what a prick he is. Monreal was solid for us.
Fun initiative OP. And I understand you want discussion like this in here, but your current top comment currently is a good suggestion noting the limitations of upvoting comments and how there are better ways to run this exercise (eg poll or survey to select the player).
We’re going to end up with an odd best 11 if you stick with this process.
This comment shows how OP’s method of upvoting comments as the way of selecting players will not work as well as something like a poll or google survey.
It’s not up to us to “get our wingers in 1v1 situations”. It’s the opposing team’s choice whether to double up or not.
Furthermore loads of our goals come from the extra central space created for us when teams do this to try and nullify Martinelli and Saka.
If they stop doing this, Martinelli and Saka score more. If they keep doing this, everyone else scores more and Martinelli and Saka are still getting assists and a perfectly fine number of goals.
Honest question, what’s wrong with our width currently and why will it help us if Saka moves closer to the middle more?
Elneny has barely featured past two seasons, but when he has, he has not put a foot wrong. On what do you base him not being good enough? We haven’t got to see much of him past few years, but what we have seen has shown he has improved significantly into a quality player since Arteta arrived.
In addition, he is massively respected by the other players and staff and on low wages (would be lower next year). What’s the harm in keeping him when there’s little chance we could improve upon him as a depth option for a decent price?
Not to say it can’t work, but Jesus is our best option up top and (while a very small sample size) has not looked great the few times he has been at RW for us
Mate you need to take a holiday and reflect on sorting a healthier work/life balance. Don’t grind too hard for too long. Life is short.
