Arteta Vs Cahill

Interested to see if it's as close as I think it will be.

I may get shot down for this, but I always thought Arteta was overrated.

Arteta was the better player in his pomp. Both as a right mid where he took the piss out of fullbacks all day and then as a playmaker, where he ran the show. We've never replaced him.

Cahill is the better bloke, he was more of a talisman, he got Everton more and he scored some boss goals, but Mikel was more talented by a good margin. I do miss seeing the pair of them in their primes.

Arteta had six months of pure boss-ness before he did his knee. Rest of the time he was probably little more than bang average.

Arteta by far the better technical player.

Cahill though...everyone knew he was the target on set pieces and crosses, and they still couldn't stop it.

Cahill for me.

Different styles of play, but answer this, who would you rather have played AGAINST.
Mikel was hardly a squeaky clean player as he was snidey with some of his tackles. But he was far too inconsistent and only played well for a while before his injury (2008 I think it was), and never got it back right up to the point on transfer deadline day.
But Tim, Jeez, he was like an angry wasp. Forever in your face. A true Blue.
Tim for me. Every time.

2006-2008 Arteta was one of the best midfielders in the league

Cahill was a level below but he got Everton more and was a much technical player than people credit him

Went to Arsenal, became a bellend and has remained one ever since.

Cahill, by a mile.

Cahill was the man for the big occasion but Arteta was boss, around 2006-2008 he was unbelieveable, possibly looked even better due to being surrounded by the likes of Neville and Osman but who knows

As a skilled footballer - Arteta
As a gutsy talisman - Cahill
Both loved scoring against 'them' - so that'll do for me

 

[davek]

Tough one, but I'd go with Cahill.

Arteta was a classy player, but Cahill was crucial for us.
