Combined XI

If we're going on form for this season obviously Rafael should be put in there as Sagna has been injured, but I'm going on past reputation and form so I included Sagna in my XI as I feel he's probably the best RB in the league. He was good at QPR according to Gooners too.

De Gea
Rafael Smalling Vidic Gibbs
Arteta Wilshere
Cazorla Rooney Nani
Van Persie

Quite a team.

you obviously dont watch many utd games.

the kid has come on so much over the summer its crazy.

gone are the rash challenges and instead their is a sense of maturity.

you can bookmark this mate, within 2 years rafael will be one of, if not the best RB in the world.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

He's come on, has he?

He's a good player.

Sagna has won Right-back of the year twice, he's been our most consistent player in recent seasons and last season you could see what a difference he made.

I appreciate Rafael's improvement, but Jenkinson has improved as well, I still don't regard him as the finished article. Sagna is very much the finished article.

Szczesny
Sagna Kos Smalling Gibbs
Arteta Carrick
Rooney Cazorla Nani
RVP

Anyone who thinks Rafael is better than Sagna needs their head checked.

Sagna in because he has more experience than Rafael but its close.

Cazorla in because I hadnt seen much of him or Kagawa before they signed and he has impressed more.

honestly mate, its like watching a totally different player.

for me he's been one of utd best players this season.

I'm convinced it's actually Fabio in the biggest practical joke ever.

Anyone who picks the best defenders from United and Arsenal and doesn't include Vidic should get their head checked first...

@dunc,

I disagree with your 'totally different player', Ive always said Rafael was out best RB but now he is consistent.

Sagna is quite clearly better than Rafael. It isn't even debateable. Rafael's improved this season but Sagna is on a different level.

totally agree mate, but for me this season, ive not felt worried at all when players are running at him.

last season he was a rash challenge waiting to happen, this season i dont get that feeling anymore.

thats what i meant by a totally different player

Vidic is past it.

Yeah Raf is 2 stone heavier than Fabio I think and Fab is married.

@dunc,

Rafa is also married

for such a short player, he has a fantastic leap on him too.

not many players his size could beat andy carroll in the air!
