That would be a good total football playing team unfortunately Pearce is gonna make us play hoof ball.

Is there any reason why Rodwell hasn't been selected?

Surely Cleverly would have to start over Ramsey?

no Barton?

Cleverly hasnt done anything to suggest he is better than Ramsey

Ramsey's done enough to suggest he's worse than Cleverley though.

what has cleverley done? nothing.

i like your team op. apart from gibbs should be there

Rodwell's been struggling with injuries, Everton probably didn't want him to go. Why isn't Gibbs in there btw?

But land

Richards Caulker Tomkins Taylor

Ramsey Allen Giggs

Sinclair Sordell Bellamy

He did some pretty okay one twos at the start of the season, surely that is enough.

John1 responds by ousting a regular Chelsea starter and replacing him with a Bolton reserve, genius insight.

I don't know why everyone is questioning who should start over Ramsey and Cleverly, both should, as Giggs should not be starting in the centre.

Giggs, in the middle?
Surely Giggs on the wing and Cleverly in the middle with Allen or Sinclair benched?

Giggs will start behind the striker.

I have named the starting team. Phackt.

the one two at 34 seconds is enough to for me to suggest he is the new Iniesta

allen benched over cleverley? dont be silly

Daniel Sturridge is too selfish don't think players will enjoy playing with him

Sordell has always impressed me for the U21 holds the ball brilliantly

It's only a matter of time before Ramsey starts performing the Olympics could be the catalyst

Swap Taylor for Tomkins and push Richards out to the right and this looks like the best team

Allen, Ramsey and Cleverly should be the midfield 3. Giggs should be used from the bench, he doesn't have the legs to play that many games in such a short space of time.

ofcourse Giggs should start, he'll probably be captain too.

Not being biased but no one can justify starting Cleverly ahead of Rambo.

at John1 Sordell instead of Sturridge

Your alternative views have sunk to an all time low

Why should Giggs start? I'm a United fan and can tell you he's been worse in the middle than Cleverly, Allen and Ramsey and also does not have the legs to play competition football.

Cleverly was getting massively overhyped in the few appearances he had last season, but in that time he looked more impressive than Ramsey, who was woeful and many Arsenal fans didn't want him anywhere near the side.

John knows

We wouldnt want Cleverly near our side either
No point turning this into a Cleverly vs Ramsey article, lets just agree to disagree.

Pearce will see both players in training, and whoever starts wins the argument

To be fair, I actually think Cleverly would suit Arsenal. He's pretty good at pass and move, has decent link up, but it's his ability to move into space and keep it simple that I like. Ramsey is an allround better player but appears to have gone off the boil.

Yeah he will, but argument aside, I think both should start with Giggs on the bench.
