Strongest starting XI

Post by Chippy »

Time to move on guys. Nothing can be done until January. I have been thinking about what this means for the first team and it is not at all clear. Lets assume we have no injuries ( :roll: I know, I know), waht would be your starting XI. I'm really struggling and I expect a lot of disagreement but here goes

Almunia
Sagna
Silvestre
Gallas
Clichy
Walcott
Fabregas
Diaby
Rosicky
Nasri
Adebayor

Probably in more of a 4-5-1. As I said it is not easy, and I am not happy with this either. Any views

----------------------ALMUNIA

SAGNA------GALLAS------SILVESTRE-------CLICHY

NASRI--------CESC--------DENILSON------ROSICKY

-------------VAN PERSIE---ADEBAYOR


I went for Gallas/Silvestre because Silvestre has experience, and quite simply, after 2 years of Toure/Gallas, I think they're far from an ideal partnership. I doubt Silvestre/Gallas will be either... but what other choice do we have? :roll:

I also went with Denilson because we still know very little about Song and Diaby as centre midfielders.

almunia
sagna djourou gallas clichy
song
fabregas nasri
walcott van persie
adebayor

and any rotation on anyone above song, the back four is pretty much the best we have and song himself is the lesser of a few evils..

I would have given Toure a chance in midfield but seeing as Wenger doesnt seem to fancy that i havent added it

Sorry to be the party pooper and I am well aware that we will have to run with what we've got. Indeed the whole point of the thread is looking at what we've got BUT, can you imagine any of those line up's on a CL night when it is bloody cold in Kiev :oops: :roll: :(

Might as well stick Song in the middle and see how he does now, he has to Jan to make a mark :wink:
