Well no balance in that midfield at all. And Arshavin and RvP upfront would not be too effective. Rooney and RvP
Arsenal > Chelsea
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
Um, what? Fabregas left wing? Fletcher and Song? The foul count would be barbaric.
Ubbish effort Jop.

Giggs at 36 is not better than Nasri, he just isn't. Ridiculous bias there.
Song over Fletcher.
On second thoughts, if you really believe Giggs is good enough, shunt him into the middle, and play Nasri and Nani wide, whilst dropping Rooney to the bench, and you have a more balanced side.
Giggs would be nowhere near that side, let's be serious here for a second.

What's age got to do with it?
Giggs on form is the best left winger in the country.
Dropping one of the best players in the world? Yes, of course...
Oh for god's sake, even on a United forum, you must be taking the piss. Ryan Giggs was a smashing player, and he still is a good one, but he would not get into a combined side between United and Arsenal now. He just wouldn't.Don't be silly I've laid the midfield out as names, not specific roles ....you know what I mean
I happen to think Arshavin's best role is deep off the striker up top - in the hole
Van Persie over Rooney is just laughable.
He would if I was in charge.
If Wenger was in charge, he would have been sold 10 years ago.
I dont know if it's ubbish or not and there are so many mouthwatering options
but the Giggs of now would not be anywhere near this side,
......don't be tupid
I'm pretty sure Wenger would have made an exception for Giggs.
Actually that's quite a big point that but maybe for another thread
It depends - on current form, RVP has to get in. If you did a look over the last few years, it might be a different story. RVP has played very little this season, but Rooney has been monumentally terrible for about six months now, so those are the criteria upon which I made the decision.
If your going for a 4-4-2 system then Giggs is probably a better left wing option than Nasri, in a 4-5-1 system however Nasri is far better suited to the role and being naturally right footed aids his ability to provide a greater goal threat from that side.
What current form? Van Persie has hardly played a match all season and Rooneys missed the last 6 weeks so what basis does he get in on current form? Rooney had a shit start to the season and has had a well documented poor 6 months, that dosnt change the fact hes clearly a superior striker to Van Persie not to mention much more reliable in the fitness stakes.
Again maybe for another thread but I really believe, through his appalling injuries we've actually never ever really seen the true capabilities of Robin van Persie.
Hopefully we will
As for Rooney there's no getting away from the fact he's actually one of the best players in the world and on good form almost an unstoppable force although in all my years of watching football I've never seen a player of such high quality drop to the levels he has shown in the last six months
Although it goes against Arsenal I really hope to see Rooney back to his best if only for England's benefit
no place for Rooney?
I'd say Rooney and Van Persie up front.
Nani in on the right and Song out for midfield.
Otherwise Ok.
Both have been injured all season!
Yeh, RVP has played about an hour this season, and it was better than anything Rooney produced, but I accept it's hardly conclusive.
On current form, you'd have to choose between Chamakh/Hernandez/Berbatov, simply because they've actually played some football.
Just remember Rooney up to when he got injured against Bayern....and I do wish..now that we did not make him come back so soon. England would have had a better tournament. Since then he was all about the contract. I'm sure United and England will see the best of him soon. no worries.
Dont get me wrong i think Van Persie is a very good player one that which injury's continue to ruin what could be a great career, there's no arguing his talent hes a very gifted player that much is obvious, however hes no Wayne Rooney lets be fair about this, if he could prove he could stay fit for at least half a season and put some sort of consistent run together then people may see the best of him and those views may change, trouble is you cant in any way shape or form make a case for Van Persie being a superior player to Rooney on any grounds right now, his fitness is just ridiculously bad every season.
Until he has a season whereby he leads your front line to success or a form of success and scores in the region of 30 goals any comparisons to Rooney are fantasy in my opinion, hes not proven anything due to various reasons some not his fault granted.
Why the feck is Evra right and Sagna left in some of your line-ups?
cos we're fking spastics
No, really.. Why? I'm assuming it's not a mistake, then why not swap those two so they can play in their respective natural position?cos we're fking spastics
People are just confusing their rights with their lefts.
Based on who is available right now:

Fletcher Fabregas

Remove Walcott. Put Nani right and put Nasri left. Walcott is rubbish. And if we're going on current form and players available I think I would rather have Chamakh than RvP.
This is the best combined Arse-Man Utd team, I reckon.
This is what I believe the strongest would be:
VDS
Sagna Rio Vidic Evra
Nani Fletcher Fabregas Nasri
Rooney Rvp

I know the debate's been had, but anyone sticking Rafael over Sagna at this point in time is just deluded.
Also far too many Fletcher over Song for me.
It's difficult to do one, simply because over the last couple of years, United's back-line has been clearly superior to Arsenal's, but this season Arsenal have conceded fewer goals with an arguably tougher start to the season than United, yet many people wouldn't take one Arsenal defender.

Some of them don't know their arse from their elbow.
You've conceeded slightly fewer goals because we've acted like spastics for most of the ones we've conceeded. Even with our defensive injury troubles last season, and there were a lot of them, we still finished with the best defence in the league, which says a lot.
Unfortunately this season no-one has nailed our right back spot, Ferdinand has been in and out, Evans and Evra have been surprisingly poor. All these things will start clicking into place sooner rather than later and people will see why we possess the best defence in England and arguably the world.
Arshavin
I haven't seen him play at Arsenal anything like he did for his former club and country.
Lightweight, lazy and overrated.
