I'd go with that but prime Özil at with Cesc and Vieira behind him maybe.

Though I'd probably do a 3 man midfield of Cesc , Viera and Gilberto. I'd also probably go peak Sanchez over Freddie .

No Adams????

No Adams????

Didn't watch football in the 1990s unfortunately, so missed his peak...tried to get in maybe not the best players, but the best performers from my time as a fan...it was difficult though.

You lot are really running out of thread ideas.

Imagine saying you're an Arsenal fan and rating Koscielny over Tony Adams

As soon as I put Kos in there, I knew you would be calling me out

Adams is obviously better than Kos, but I prefer to judge what I have seen rather than what I haven't.

Don't worry about it, Kos was marking far better players than Adams ever did. We would probably concede 12 goals vs prime Barcelona if we've had Adams instead of Kos there.

I appreciate you backing me up here, but lets not have shots at our greatest ever defender in the process, I am not worth that!

Adams played against some of the absolute best attackers ever in the 1990s, and we didn't do to badly as a club in that decade with him leading us...watch the 1994 Cup Winners Cup final if it's still up on YouTube, Adams was excellent against a Parma side that had one of the best attacks back then, in what is our last ever European trophy victory.

Cheers. Can’t believe I missed that.

Added Gilberto and moved Santi to attacking mid.
