Combined Liverpool + Arsenal Team (squad).

[beejay]

I don't look at "form", because I think that's a load of old bollocks personally and besides form will come and go unexpectedly......the last 12 months provide all I need to know so based on that;

Alisson > Raya
Mama > Kepa
Frimpong = Timber
Bradley < White
Ibou < Saliba
Virg > Gabriel
Gomez < Mosquera
Leoni < Hincapie
Kerkez > Calafiori
Robbo = Lewis Skelly
Grav > Zubimendi
Mac = Rice
Wirtz > Odegaard
Endo < Norgaard
Jones < Merino
Szobo > Nwaneri
Salah > Saka
Isak > Gyokeres
Gakpo = Martinelli
Chiesa < Trossard
Ekitike > Havertz
Rio < Madueke
Danns < Jesus

A few are unfair simply because we don't have a big enough squad to go toe to toe and I'm not accounting for talent or future potential in these.

It's all about opinions and I agree with most of yours except for me, Frimpong > Timber, Jones > Merino, Gakpo > Martinelli Gomez > Mosquera.

As a starting 11, it's tough but:

Allison

Frimpong
VVD
Saliba
Kerkez

Gravenberch
Rice
Szoboslai

Madueke
Izak
Salah

 Subs

Mama, Calafiori, Gabriel, McAllister, Odegaard, Saka, Ekitike

Very attacking but that's what makes champions and with an amazing bench

I mean that's literally in the second sentence !

I don't think many outside the Liverpool / Argentina fanbase would think Macca was better than Rice.

Yeah but that pretty much means "all the thick cunts think rice is better"

 

[Woland]

Include me in the thick cunts (if you already hadn't)

 

[tomasjj]

Allison

Timber
VVD
Saliba
Calafiori

Gravenberch
Rice
McAllister

Saka
Isak
Salah

Yeah that's why I had it 9-7 in Rice's favour. Macca of last season though would be a very close run thing and TBF UK fans see a lot more of Rice because of his place in the England team and he's highly rated by influential UK media sources. They rarely see anything of Macca unless they watch our games.

If you go to Argentina I'm sure that opinions would be reversed because their knowledge of Rice negligible. LFC fans are in the best position to judge TBH - and even then opinion split !

Aside from anything else, none of the Arsenal lads can score from open play so you need Rice to take the corners and free-kicks. Otherwise you should pick 11 Liverpool players.

Given how good their defence is, is there an argument for simply picking their backline + Alisson or are we attributing their defensive stats to team overall and Arteta's tactics?

Depends who the manager of this team is. If it's slot, a fair mix would be better. If it's arteta, then pick their back line as he's gonna play 4cbs

Arteta would pick Timber, Bradley, Frimpong, White, van Dijk, Saliba, Konate, Gabriel, Califiori and Robbo as his outfield combined XI.

 

[keniget]

Van Dijk as as a Maguire style forward on corners and long throw ins would be utopia for Arteta.

I think VvD would improve any team so for me him and Ali with Arsenal players filling the other 3 positions.

OK my wife's just delivered a home-made white fungi and red date soup to me - tastes delicious so I'll have to take a break to devour this.

Madueke is injured and out for two months, so there's clearly something wrong at arsenal's training ground

Anyways

I was just talking about this with my father yesterday. Slot and his ex-Feyenoord medical team clearly have something going on, JuJu, VooDoo whatever you want to call it they are doing an amazing job.
