Hanshithispantz Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 We have a better first XI by far in honesty, the bench would pretty much be all Sunderland though. FTM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 From a neutrals perspective the best combined X1 is: ----------------------------Krul------------------------------- O'Shea------------Brown-------------Coloccini------------Santon ----------------------------Tiote--------------------------------- --------------------Cabaye--------Larsson----------------------- --Sessegnon-------------------------------------------Ben Arfa-- ----------------------------Ba------------------------------------- Saylor's performances this last year have been far beyond anything Brown has put in for over half a decade. It's personal preference mate. I think the only real debatable ones (from a neutral) is Taylor getting in over Brown or O'Shea, and also i can see an argument for fitting McClean in there somewhere as he's looked very impressive. Other then that though i'd say that's about right. It's pretty fair, though again I can't really say that O'Shea is a better RB than Simpson, Simpson for all the criticism on here isn't that bad, and if we had O'Shea in that position there would be hell on. McClean has been impressive, probably the best natural winger either of us have got tbh, but that's on the back of 2 or 3 performances, lets see what he's like in a 30 games time.

Darth Crooks Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 They proper overrate Larsson big time. He's canny but fucking hell. Pissed all over Obertan this season though, which is surely the point. Most Mackems on there are comparing him to Jonas though. By the by considering that they are completely different types of player but I don't think he is head and shoulders or a better by a country mile or whatever soundbite they want to use. He looked dangerous on sunday playing a more short passing game and running at players; something I don't think Larsson is particularly adept at. Although yeah, Obertan is consistent in his uncanny knack of being dogshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Krul Santon Taylor Colo Richardson Ben Arfa Cabaye Tiote Jonas Ba Sessegnon (possibly an O'Shea-Taylor-Colo-Santon back 4) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'd have McClean in ahead of Jonas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I agree he looks good, but he's only played 6 times for them so it's too early (I know the same argument can be made for Santon, but both teams are weak at full back). Jonas - on form - is a very valuable tool to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Tbf to Brown he's bean there, done that. He offers so much variety in his play. Him and Heinz were quality back in the day. He's a baked bean for fuck sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I wouldn't have O'Shea over Simpson. I know we slag off Danny but the Mackems were calling him O'Shit until about a fortnight ago when MO'N managed to coax a decent performance out of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
