What first 11 do you think is better, the 5th season, or our current, say they're both managed by Howe, and are in their prime:

 

Krul; Simpson, Colo, Williamson, Santon; Ben Arfa, Tiote, Cabaye, Jonas; Cisse, Ba

 

Vs. 

 

Pope; Tino, Schar, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Bruno, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Gordon

 

And what would be the combined XI?

I think just play HBA on the right instead of Murphy, that’s it. 
 

Maybe Tiote in for Joelinton if you wanted a dedicated DM. 
 

Howe wouldn’t do either of those though, I don’t think.

So 4 players from our current XI and 7 from the 11/12 season, apparently :lol: I feel this is a perfect example of peak nostalgia bias having an impact...

I think the form at the time matters a lot aswell, for example Cabaye, Tiote and Cisse weren't world beaters for the rest of their carreer. This was their peak season. Meanwhile right now we are out of form, so some players appear a little bit worse. But our team might actually have been more balanced back then, atleast.

Not have Isak is a wild shout :lol:

 

So mine would be, if we're talking at their absolute peak:

 

Krul; Tino, Schar, Colo, Hall; Cabaye, Tiote, Bruno; HBA, Cisse, Isak.

PL GPM in NUFC colors:

  • Demba Ba:          1 in 151
  • Papis Cisse:         1 in 208
  • Alexander Isak:   1 in 131

If we're talking absolute peak, apparently it'd be wrong to choose Cisse over Ba... I'm as surprised as you probably are :lol:

I've not seen any better complete striker than Cisse during that 6 months post signing, if we're talking peak he absolutely get in :lol:

I feel you're kinda moving the goalposts a fair bit with every new post you make about it, to be fair :lol: My combined Xi would look very different to the one I posted if you'd said to pick the players at their absolute peak :lol:

Worst 11 ..

 

Elliot, Simpson, Williamson, Perch, Haidera, Guthrie, Marveux, Longstaff, Campbell, Miggy, Ranger.

 

only picked Longstaff because he’s the weakest from the current bunch and can’t remember anymore bad ones from the pardew period.
