GWT: PL Matchweek 7

[YNWA14]

I would say no, a combined XI from Arsenal/United wouldn't win most of the time against Liverpool/City. I would only take an on-form Pogba in midfield (for Liverpool, I don't think he'd crack City's midfield), none of the front 3 and none of the backline. I might be tempted to take de Gea over Ederson but that could be a stretch. I would take AWB over Walker but not Cancelo.

Yikes, that was a pathetic game of two sides built on nothing except past aura.

- We allowed a team with no striker score a goal on us, that is brutal, nonetheless on our own corner.

- United decides to gift-wrap a goal for our troubles in travelling to a rainy Stoke night out on the Manchester border.

- Every time I watch Xhaka hoping he gets a yellow and gets suspended, every game he gets a yellow and every next game he's in the starting XI. Do something about this FA?

- I will fully admit that Emery's limitations are obviously becoming illuminated as we get deeper into the season.

It was kind of a wonder strike though. So not going to put the team down for conceding that.

I think if you're looking at strictly talent a combined Man U/Arsenal starting 11 could beat Liverpool or Man City. Keep in mind I'm talking about talent only.

I was talking about talent also; I think they 'could' beat them in the sense that even in their current state they 'could' beat them, but talent wise neither of them have a collection of players that would make it into either of Liverpool or City's teams, if any.

United is in close to relegation form dating back to the beginning of spring. Not good enough.

Naturally, that rather depends on one's perspective.

 

[VEGASKING]

Liverpool has more points than Arsenal and United combined 7 rounds in.

 

[AB13]

Liverpool has more points than Arsenal and United combined 7 rounds in.

No they don't. They have more than Chelsea/Sp*rs and United combined though.

 

[hatterson]

They're tied with Arsenal/United combined and 1 ahead of Chelsea/Spurs and United combined.

Doesn't really change the point all that much.

They're tied with Arsenal/United combined and 1 ahead of Chelsea/Spurs and United combined.

Doesn't really change the point all that much.

They're also tied with Arsenal/United combined in CL points right now.
