Than Arsenal?

And even if you are better man for man, it doesn't mean EVERY player is better.

We're better man for man than Southampton but I reckon Lambert/Osvaldo/Rodriguez, maybe Lovren and maybe Schneiderlin would get a game for us.

My views are my own. Everton man for man >> Arsenal.

Thats thanks to Roberto.
 
Would any of you really swap are back 5 for any that arsenal put out pretty sure that there the same players that have been called for being crap over the last few years and first game this year
 
Why would any one put koscielny or vermalen in over jags is beyond me both can be good players on there day but there nothing like leaders which jagielka is and any one worried about Baines leaving think more when jags decides to finish hardest position to replace i think just ask arsenal
 
Szchesney
Coleman Jagielka Mertersaker Baines
McCarthy Ramsey
Mirallas Ozil Cazorla
Lukaku
Howard, Koschelny, Sagna, Wilshere, Pienaar, Giroud, Podolski
 
Interesting that nobody has gone for Barkley..I'd have him over Wilshere/Mirallas/Arteta any day of the week...and twice on Sunday(please);)

Depends which Barkley turns up. He was great against Liverpool but can try too hard and frustrate.

We will have more of an idea after the game as to how much we have evolved as Arsenal have the best midfield unit in the league. But we are by no means inferior and can match them if we play to our potential.
 
Barkley plays in same position as Ozil thou, so only 1 outcome there maybe in 2-3 seasons

His improvement this season has been incredible...I think by next season he'll be our most important player. The fact that Martinez rests him for the big games now speaks volumes

Yea defiantly, I think Barkley can be as good as anyone just needs to keep doing what he is doing and play football on a regular basis. None of the **** moyes has been doing with him for past seasons
 
Howard < Scezney

Oviedo = Gibbs
Distin = Koscielney
Jagielka > Mertesacker
Coleman > Jenkinson

McCarthy < Flamini
Barry < Arteta
Barkley < Wilshere
Mirallas < Cazorla
Pienaar < Ozil

Lukaku = Giroud

Gibbs is still very young. Oviedo has more experience in European football and internationally but we haven't seen enough of him to really be able to judge it.

We've got the stronger defence but there is more ability, composure and inventiveness in the Arsenal midfield. Flamini could be injured, so Wenger might play Arteta and Wilshere deep and give Walcott a start ahead of Napoli on Wednesday.

Lukaku will be better than Giroud but the Gunners striker has more footballing intelligence as it stands.

Wouldnt put Vermaelen ahead of Jagielka. But kosicleny is clearly better. he's a smarter version of Distin imo. jagielka is more of a Mertesacker type who's a leader and depends on positioning. Before people say Arsenal were after Jagielka, its true and that was before we bought Mertesacker and that summer it was clear we were looking for a CB and a certain type of CB. So its no coincidence that these two were looked at as we needed a leader at the back

Don't agree with any of those ratings
