Cesc Fabregas agrees to join Barcelona in Summer (goal.com)

[lee-mcfc]

Judging of the best 11 of both sides I think we beat them man for man.

Hart v Fabianski= 1-0
Zabaleta v Sagna=2-0
Kompany v Koscienly=3-0
K.Toure v Vermaelan=3-1 (Judging off last seasons,very Close though)Kolarov v Clichy=3-2 (On performaces to date,Kolarov is a better player overall)De Jong v Song=4-2
Silva v Fabregas=5-2 (Silva gets involved in all elements of the game)Y.Toure v Nasri=6-4 (Nasri has been awesome this year but Toure has performed at the highest level for years and won many top honours)
Tevez v Bendtnar=7-4
Balotelli v Arshavin=8-4
Dzeko v Racist Van Pervert=9-4

Bear in mind neither of the games this year have been a real show of the two teams. What with Boyata's sending off and Silva and Balotelli's injuries.

zab is not better than sagna. toure is not better than nasri. and de jong is definitely not better than alex billong

gooney talking out of his arse shocker..

zab is not better than sagna. toure is not better than nasri. and de jong is definitely not better than alex billong

Just of of interest, and this is a genuine question, do you think any of our starting XI are better than yours? If not, can you explain why we're ahead of you in the league?

You are ahead of us because our game against Stoke was cancelled

 

[Ric]

OK, assuming you win that game you will be one point ahead.

But again do you think any of our starting XI are better than yours?

yaya is also few years older. Song is more complete footballer than de jong....he was man of the match against you last season and dominated the midfield

More complete! De Jong is the best in his position in the Premier League. I will stand by that all day long. Dominated the midfield like De Jong did twice at home against Chelsea, the best side in the league last year and at the begining of the season (I know they've gone shit now). The only reason De Jong doesn't score is because he doesn't need to get forward with the players we've got. And if you don't think he can score you only need to watch this

He is a major part of why we have one of the best defensive records in the league

Arsenal would win the league with four of our players:

Hart
Kompany
De Jong
Tevez

Which is funnily enough the spine of our team, maybe that's what they've been lacking in recent years?

Silva would run riot in their team as well of course.

Exactly the type of players who can dig in deep, and aren't scared of putting in a defensive performance if necessary. The one thing which Arsene Wenger is too stubborn to do. It's like what Kolo says, attackers will win matches but defenders win titles.

Alex song better than the best DM in europe(maybe world), goon get to bed.

Are you Alex song by any chance?

I would say:

Hart v Fabianski= 1-0
Zabaleta v Sagna= 1-1
Kompany v Koscienly= 2-1
K.Toure v Vermaelan= 2-2
Kolarov v Clichy= 2-3
De Jong v Song= 3-3
Silva v Fabregas= 3-4
Y.Toure v Wilshere = 4-4
Tevez v Walcott= 5-4
Balotelli v Nasri= 5-5 (Balotelli can become better)
Dzeko v van Persie= 5-6 (Dzeko hasn't played yet)

Hard to compare when the players don't have the same style.

I completely agree with that. End of the day the table tell us there's not much between the teams. I just dont understand why some City fans are downplaying how good of a team we are
