Think you need to look up the word ‘fun’

Considering arsenal couldn’t field an Xi this should only involve tottingham players

Would have Doherty in there somewhere.

Massive Arsenal fan, and I bet Arteta would get him back to his best, after the failings of all the managers he’s played under at Spurs.

Is it 3 or 4 now?

Looking at the XI, you can see why the spurs fans were so desperate for the game to not be postponed.

All their players are arsenal fans

BREAKING NEWS

Tottenham Hotspur request NLD to be rescheduled for ‘2-3 transfer windows time’.

Shame the game was called off.

Flatrack Kane was licking his top lip at the thought of improving his goal scoring stats against Arsenals womens team! 😂

Lloris
Tomiyasu White Romero Tierney
Partey Hojberg
Saka ESR Son
Kane

6-5 to Arsenal

Combined XI of players available today

Ramsdale
Norton-Cuffy, White, Gabriel, Lopez
Akinola, Salah
Hutchinson, Patino, Flores
Lacazette

Xhaka?

Lloris and Ramsdale is almost a case of heads or tails. But Ramsdale wasn't the best in his last game so I'd pick Lloris.

Kane would get in. Even if he hasn't been at his best this season, you don't leave him out for someone who isn't that great.

Has Dier been any worse than Arsenal's CB's?

Skipp over Xhaka.

Romero? Hasn't he only played like 5 games?

I think ramsdale is a more complete keeper

I considered Kane but his heart just isn't in it and lacazette has been a real leader since auba was banished

Arsenal's CB's have been good?

I'd love to skip over Xhaka, but unfortunately he's the best option

Lloris has been excellent for longer than Ramsdale has. Gone completely under the radar and doesn't get the credit he deserves. If he was English he'd be jerked off to by every Sky pundit.

Kane has been a bit better in recent weeks. At least he's got on the scoresheet in the PL a few times and you never know when he get back into fifth gear. That's enough to have him over the much more limited Lacazette.

Xhaka is a liability. Like Saka and ESR, Skipp is a young player doing very well, including his last season in the Championship.

Dier or even Romero who has played a lot less, are no worse than Arsenal's defenders.

Agree with this.

Lloris has been a very good keeper for a number of years. Ramsdale has had half a good season, that's it.

Kane over Lacazette is a no brainer. Xhaka is crap, always has been and always will be. Hojberg is a much better player than him.

As for defenders, I don't think you can justify having a 100% Arsenal defence when Spurs have conceded considerably fewer goals than Arsenal this season in the Prem. Doesn't really make sense does it? The title doesn't say "Combined XI", not combined XI to have played x number of games, which is why I include Romero.

Nevertheless, I still feel ramsdale is a more complete keeper. You yourself said you only picked lloris because ramsdale had an off game in his last game.

Kane had a few weeks off and he still doesn't look great despite getting a few goals. At his best, it's no debate, but right now I'd take lacas leadership and build up play.

Yeah, Xhaka is a liability, but when he isn't a liability, he's pretty good.

Dier plays well in a back 3, White and Gabriel, while not faultless, are clearly better than him. Romero we've literally not seen enough of.

Burnley seem to have a game called off every week.Nobody complains about them

Burnley and Leicester are the worst two.
No-one said "How can Burnley call off a game 2 days after sellling Wood", yet Arsenal loan an U23 striker and it is considered cheating the system

"Lloris has been a very good keeper for a number of years. Ramsdale has had half a good season, that's it."

Then says:

"The title doesn't say "Combined XI", not combined XI to have played x number of games, which is why I include Romero."



I repeat, Romero has played about 5 games. His own managers don't trust him, just plain weird to include him.

Also, we conceded 9 goals in our first 3 games when we had a lot of these defenders out, or hadn't signed yet. But silly to base it purely on goals conceded.

Combining these two make a worse team.

Brilliant article. Nothing to add. 5 's from me.

Ramsdale has been excellent as well and maybe he has had a few games where he's been more outstanding than Lloris, but he looked dodgy in his last game and I haven't seen Lloris look dodgy this season. So while it's close that's why I'd pick him.

Kane doesn't need to be at his best to get in ahead of Laca is my point. If Laca was banging the goals in then sure. But he's not a good enough striker which leaves room for Kane. Plus being around Saka and ESR could help bring more out of Kane than we are used to at the moment.

On reputation alone Romero would be ahead of the others in the back line. Voted the best CB in Serie A last season. I'm giving the rest the benefit of the doubt though as he hasn't played enough games so far, though when he has he's looked decent.

Whooooaaa...

I thought Serie A was considered ‘a shiiite league’?

I don't mind lloris being included as he's been good this season but I know spurs fans who keep having to change their minds about him. I still prefer ramsdale though, allows the team to attack in different ways with his distribution, and catches almost every cross.

I've nothing to add on kane. He's been a disgrace imo.

Including Romero on reputation if we're picking the best 2 CB's to win a game, everyone's picking white and Gabriel, end of discussion. Romero could be better with more game time though.

I see Op has now stopped crying about the postponed cup game.

Egg on face doesn't begin to describe it.

I don't think you can justify having a 100% Arsenal defence when Spurs have conceded considerably fewer goals than Arsenal this season in the Prem.
=======
Arsenal have conceded 5 more than Spurs, but played 2 more.
White, Tomiyasu and Gabriel (plus Ramsdale) didn't play in 2 games that we conceded 7 in. Since then we have conceded 16 goals - "considerably" less than Spurs have.

Also, the difference in goals scored is twice as many more for Arsenal than conceded is less for Spurs. Yet Son and Kane seem to be in the XI
Also, Spurs have conceded 10 in 6 games he has played @ 1.6 goals a game.
White has conceded 18 in 18, or 1 goal a game.
Gabriel has conceded 16 in 17, or 0.9 a game

So if we are going by what each team has conceded, then White and Gabriel are statistically far better than Romero.
