The Title Race - 2023/24

[cheekybids]

If you look at that 2012 City team Kompany, Silva and Aguero walk into last season's Arsenal side. Yaya Toure is marginal, the rest of that City team get nowhere near last year's Arsenal 1st XI.

Whereas if you compare Arsenal and City last season, Saka walks into the City team, there are several players that you could argue are on par on either side (particularly at the back, maybe Saliba is a smidge above what City had at CB last season but still marginal) but apart from the aforementioned Saka I don't think another Arsenal player is a shoo in for the City team of last season and some of the City side (eg Haaland, Edersen, Bernardo Silva, Rhodri, KDB) are absolutely clear above their Arsenal counterparts (Silva I put in even though he plays in Saka's position and I said Saka walks into a combined Arsenal/City team I just think Silva is so good (controversial opinion but I actually think he may be your best player) that a spot has to be found for him somewhere.

Actually if you offered me 1 current City player we could take to Arsenal it wouldn't be the 'obvious' choice Haaland - I'd take Silva ahead of him.

Stopped reading at Yaya was marginal, he was phenomenal & Mancini ranted at the team you are nothing without Yaya.

Sorry, but the 2011/2012 City side would wipe the floor with last seasons Arsenal. Even the title winning sides of Chelsea I’m struggling to see being inferior to Arsenal. Id take prime Hazard over Saka / Martineli any day.

Big time. The 2011-12 City team had balls. Arsenal, do not.

Agreed, the same YaYa that is the greatest African player to play in the Premier League. At his peak he was simply unplayable and 2013/14 season I’d say he was the best player on the planet. He is ridiculously underrated even by City fans due to the off-field issues but we should always remember he was simply the best.

you lost that argument by saying yaya toure is marginal, yaya is streets ahead of any midfielder that arsenal has currently, pablo zabelata isnt ahead of ben white? dont make me laugh, gareth barry and ndj both walk into your midfield and dzeko is a miles better striker than anything you currently have so try again

hes not a wum , hes just your common or garden arsenal moron who overstates his own players importance while saying everybody else is crap, but then is entirely confused when arsenal dont win, there is not a current arsenal player that walks into the city team not a single one.

I mean to even mention saliba and dias in the same sentence is quite frankly an insult.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

I mean, this Arsenal team has won a Community Shield, we should really be taking them a bit more serious

 

[WickyWain]

Yaya marginal. Oh how I laughed!

And Zaba gets nowhere near Ben White apparently!

thats the one that pissed me off more than yaya and the disrespect to ndj , barry and dzeko, ndj is twice the midfielder that partey is.
