Very thorough and good you gave Salah serious consideration given his numbers are STILL up there despite him missing a big chunk of the season and then missing another chunk metaphorically, got a little annoying seeing all the teams on Twitter and no one even mention him in consideration. Palmer the right choice though. The only thing I'd do differently is have a back three - lose both full backs and put Gabriel in and make room for an extra attacking player which would probably be Haaland. MAYBE pickford for marti but not that fussed on that

I wished you’d done a deeper dive into Saka’s underlying numbers, his impact has been severely understated this season. xA or gamestate changing G/As shows that looking at G/A only doesn’t do him justice.

Can't a a TOTS seriously without Saka in it. Puts in a Right back shift & still keeps pace with his rivals who are given a free role. Just check his defensive numbers, and to STILL get that attacking output- has to be in there. Every game; the first shot, the first cross- that first chance; He's the one who gets the team going. Arteta needs to give him less defensive responsibility so he can show why he's a tier above those he's compared to.

Played out of position as a 6 for the start and during some games and has done pretty good (advance metrics puts him in good company). When moved to his preferred 8 he has done even better. Scored 2 ridiculously good goals this season. His goals and assist numbers might not be up there with others but you can’t judge an 8 solely on goals and assists. That’s like saying Kroos isn’t a world class midfielder bc he never scores goals and gets tons of assists. (Ignoring the fact he does everything at a high level which is way more important than basic stats).

@@J_Tevo it’s a normal thing for new Man City players to struggle, which he has done for large parts of the season. Been the targeted side and most teams have had a lot more joy down his side and going forward had looked very clunky at times, often choosing the wrong pass and poor crossing. He has been much better recently but as usual if a defender scores goals there is talks about how they’ve been unbelievable

[@space1734]

​@TheMrAnto1 Walker and Dias have been the weak link all season

[@joehall6628]

I agree with the team but my god it’s the narrowest team ever. 4 CBs 1 DM 1 CM 3 AMs & 1 ST. No one is getting chalk on their boots in that team

[@gregoryrobinson324]

Palmer is a cam not a rw id say

[@user-zc2sz1os3j]

If only Liverpool had Isak...

[@rbstickymicky66]

As a Chelsea fan Gabriel has been far better for me then saliba, he picks up all the pieces

[@hfislwpa]

Puts Van De Ven but not Romero that's literally next to him leading the defense 😅

[@Hhat168]

VDV is clear of Romero. As saliba is clear of gabriel

[@sugargay7168]

MVDV has easily been the better defender this year, without him Spurs would’ve allowed 90 goals

[@themanmachine125]

van de ven is waaaaaaaaay better than romero the anger issues merchant lmao

[@benedictwong1327]

Nah Romero is so good​@@themanmachine125

[@Hari-ld3lc]

Interesting how ACTUAL Tottenham supporters know Romero has been better than VDV this season, and the ones who get their football from social media have gone with VDV 😂😂😂

[@Brantley_ZA]

Palmer over Saka is krazy!

[@TomQuick14]

No Gusto at right back? I expected better Mr JLA

[@bendybfest]

I haven’t finished the video yet but he’s already done the midfield so I will make my judgement off of that. But did Mac Allister seriously not even get a mention because 2 DM’s had to be shoehorned in? Rice has been unbelievable, but he hasn’t been the best in his position, so he shouldn’t make tots

[@talk844]

He's an arsenal fanboy still crying over the loss..leave him be

[@chillpanda9960]

Unpopular opinion my rb would be trent alexander arnold

[@fordy423]

Not picking Gabriel is a massive omission. Saliba has been brilliant in the last 5 games, but Gabriel has been better than him in the vast majority of games. Peole backing Saliba over Gabriel are just going off reputation, not observed performances. They are both quality btw, if it was up to me they'd both be in

[@cowboyorangesoda8408]

Fair point, tbh I think you have to have them both too, VVD is living a bit off rep these days

[@AzaroOW]

How does David raya not get goalkeeper 😭😭

[@Phelpenstein]

the silly boy forgot mainoo

[@mattytorley]

Honestly, tarkowski has been far better than Branthwaite this season and anyone who watched us should know that. It’s just Branthwaite is left footed and is still so young that he kinda gets put above tarky when he doesn’t deserve it

[@tobyhoskins2366]

Turned the video off at VVD being in

[@benparry7791]

Everton fan?

[@PLC11]

You should turn football off then you biased donut 🤡

[@howstupidcanyoube100]

VVd has been incredible.

[@exodiusow7649]

Insane that you would put foden left wing but hey anything to keep your arsenal fans happy yeah 👍

[@thomasrust2074]

Gordon over Haaland and Odegaard is a joke. Just put Foden on the left

[@gringosdarr]

No Man Utd players? Criminal

[@user-xf9gc2hl5p]

Trossard?
