Mikel Merino (now playing for Arsenal)


Recommended Posts

Our midfield first game against Southampton consisted of Obertan, Wijnaldum, Sissoko, Anita and Colback.

 

Obertan actually got a class assist that game

Fucking hell :lol: Has to be up there with the worst midfield 5 ever in the PL?

We've had some shockers in recent years. We lost 0-4 to Spurs at SJP and our team was:

 

Krul

Debuchy

Williamson

S.Taylor

Santon

Anita

Sissoko

Gouffran

Sa.Ameobi

Cisse

Luuk De Jong

 

Which looks really awful. Obviously Hatem was on the bench

Fun game this. What do you think it's the worst NUFC XI to ever get a win in the PL?

 

I would put Barça's but you would tell me to GTFO.

In my lifetime, probably when we beat Spurs 2-3 at White Hart Lane in 2006/07.

 

Given

Ramage

Taylor

Huntington

Pattison

Solano

Butt

Milner

Dyer

Martins

Sibierski

 

EDIT: Or any team in 2014/15.

First one that springs to mind is the 3-2 Vs Spurs away.

 

Given

 

Ramage

Taylor

Huntington

Pattison

 

Solano

Butt

Milner

Dyer

 

Martins

Sibierski

 

Given was still great, but Solano and Dyer were past their best and Milner was just a kid. Martins was quality around then and scored the epitome of a thunderbastard, but the rest were really poor players who pulled a performance out of nowhere. Sibierski was a bit of a cult hero while he was here as well.

In comparison to the best defence discussion in the Ciaran Clark thread, that's got to be our worst defensive lineup ever.

Almost certainly. Huntington was seen as a bit of a prospect at the time iirc and the jury was still out with Taylor, but aye, its horrific on paper.

Eh? The line up's out of order, aye. Nee idea what that question's supposed to mean though.

 

Wasn't meant as anything, I was just reminiscing about how Huntington scored from the left-back position, and sharing the memory.
