Standard pre-game fare, a combined XI...
Tommo's Team
Cech
Monreal
Koscielny
Skrtel
Clyne
Coutinho
Milner
Cazorla
Ozil
Benteke
Sanchez
Not as bias as I would have assumed actually.
What would be your team?

Don't see why he couldn't get into the Barca team. Their midfield isn't what it used to be.
Rakitic is a good player but he is hardly world class.
Iniesta isn't even a fraction of the player he was 4-5 years back. Like Rooney at Utd he's become undroppable because of his reputation rather than performances

He's probably a little overrated as hes not consistent enough but he's still young. 23 i think and he had alot of injuries in his late teens. He's getting better and better each season and will play for Barca in the near future

Basically you are saying when he gets good enough he will go to a big team and like others before him he is using Liverpool fc as a stepping stone.

Nice try you bitter fool

"Dubbed the guy who is consistently proven wrong on everything we've debated about over the years Arteta still your best midfielder? Don't even start me on Sturridge. Your lack of football knowledge is concerning."
What on earth is this fool rambling on about?
I see your embarrassing obsession with everything Sturridge continues.

"Someone named Moreno. This is a guy who got destroyed by Antonio Valencia last season."
That fool is TBK who's also dropped Ozil in his joke of a team.

Genuinely surprised so many have Milner ahead of Henderson.

It's because people think Milner is more suited to the DM role.

don't be stupid. Coutinho isn't fit to lace Rakitic's or Iniesta's right boot. Rakitic for the last two seasons has been world class, and that's been playing two different roles for Sevilla and Barcelona.

Dubbed getting touchy as I bring up everything he was proven wrong about. While I'm flattered you still have the time to constantly shout me out on any Arsenal thread I comment on, it's getting boring now.

Why is Clyne is everyone teams? he might be more experienced but no way in hell is he better than Bellerin
My team
Cech
Hector Sahko Kos Gibbs
Ramsey Coq Cazorla
Ozil
Sturridge Sanchez

Probably because Clyne has been excellent in a defence that has yet to concede a goal this season.
