Best NUFC XI in the Post-Relegation Era

Recommended Posts

This is our sixth season since returning to the premier league, and it definitely feels like a different era to pre-09/10. We've had some pretty exciting players and some pretty crap players since 2010, but who would be your best XI?

 

For me:

 

Krul

 

Janmaat

Colo

Mbemba (after 2 games he already deserves this)

Santon (tough one but I liked him)

 

Cabaye

Sissoko

Barton (He was awesome 10/11 and need some twats in the team)

 

HBA

Ba/Carroll

Remy

Krul

 

Debuchey

Colo

Janmaat at CB cos he was there for about 2 games and looked better than Williamson and Saylor. Mbemba still haven't seen enough of

Enrique

 

Tiote when he was good in his first few seasons

Cabaye obviously

Sissoko

 

Ben Arfa

Ba

Remy

Krul

Debuchy - Mbemba - Coloccini - Enrique

Cabaye - Tiote - Wijnaldum

Ben Arfa - Ba - Cisse

 

Pretty ridiclous that I have to have two player who have played 2 games for us in here

 

This is also presuming all players are in form (ie, when Tiote was good, when Cisse was scoring)

This with 5th season Steven Taylor. As much of a twat he is, he was very good that year. Perhaps Wij for Sissoko but it's too early to say.

Debuchy  Mbemba  Colo  Enrique

  Ben Arfa                    Perez (Remy)

Don't care if we haven't seen Mitro yet, temper aside he's going to be a powerhouse.

                Alnwick

Simpson willo. Sol  R.Taylor

          Guthrie Gosling

Obertan.    Alan Smith        Gouff

Replace Sol with Khizanishvili and we're there.

Honestly tough to pick between janmaat and debuchy, both have flaws, latter certainly too rash, way too many pens given away, but equally he added so much drive to that side, always trying to drag team up the pitch

Was one of the great shames that Carroll and Ben Arfa didn't play much together.

 

Picking the front three is tricky, we've had some quality there in the last few years.

Can we include Stephen Ireland ?

Janmaat over Debuchy. Debuchy left his leg in all the time, and always backed off allowing crosses to come in. Yes Janmaat has made a few rash challenges, but he's a better defender than Debuchy was.

Santon never impressed me that much, Enrique has to be picked ahead of him.

Up front it's tough to call because most of our forwards were pretty prolific during their spells, even Best had a good goals to game ratio.

 

Krul

Janmaat

Colo

Mbemba (is there anyone else to pick?)

Enrique

Ben Arfa

Cabaye

Wijnaldum

Sissoko

Ba

Remy

 

 

Ba and Remy win their places ahead of Carrol and Cisse because their good spells generally lasted longer, and I don't think Cisse would work well with Remy.
