    Team from the last 10 years

    If you had to make a team from the last 10 years who would you pick.. I'll give it a start

    GK: Krul
    LB: Jose Enrique
    CB: Collo
    CB: Lascelles
    RB: Yedlin
    LM: Jonas Gutierrez
    CM: Kevin Nolan
    CM: Cabaye
    RM: Ben Arfa
    ST: Papiss Cisse
    ST: Obafemi Martin's

    I know there's quite a few more I could have put in but I'd say this based on games played etc is my best.. the last 10 years haven't seen us with many top players really.. I mean demba ba and Remy banged them in too.. I really struggled for a left winger.. Gutierrez gets it for being an absolute legend

    Good shout

    GK - Krul

    LB - Dummett*
    CB - Collo
    CB - Lascelles
    RB - Ryan Taylor**

    CM - Nolan
    CM - Cabaye
    CM - Tiote

    LW - Jonas ***
    RW - Ben Arfa ****

    ST - Demba Ba

    *I know he has his detractors but he always puts in solid effort and i think he's one of those unsung players all teams need.
    **Always liked him as a player and his free kicks were always solid
    ***As you said couldn't think of a better one, so gets it.
    ****In the right team his talent could be amazing and he gets people off his seat so he gets the nod ahead of Ritchie for me.

    Edit: In regards LM - possibly Ritchie could player

    Yeah I was thinking Ritchie for the LM position but I didn't wanna cheat it.. I debated with Tiote but I didn't want sentiment to blind me over talent.. his death and goal against arsenal would have been the only reason I picked him.. if it were a 3 man midfield for me Shelvey would have getting in over Tiote

    I was thinking of more the player we got in that first season who was wanted by Arsenal and Man Utd.

    The one who utterly destroyed people coming towards the defense.

    Shelvey whilst good isn't a defensive mid and when i have 3 like that i always want one of them to be defensive minded.

    Only last 10 years narrows it down....So:

    GK: No one else so Krul: Given left 2009

    LB:Enrique in his prime
    RB:Ryan Taylor: otherwise it was steady Danny Simpson
    CB:Collo
    CB:Laselles (just pips Steven Taylor at his best)

    CM:Nolan
    CM:Cabaye
    CM:Tiote or Sissoko when hot (Shelvey if he keeps it up)

    LW:SpiderMan (edges over Ritchie but memorable mention)
    RW:Ben Arfa (reluctant choice given the sparsity of good wingers))

    ST: Demba Ba

    I'd fit Andros Townsend in there somewhere. Couldn't quite opt for Janmaat, Debuchy or Santon but they were close. Pickings were slim TBH. For me, Danny Simpson is in. Massively under rated. Wijnaldum was good that season for us at home but doesn't make it in. Neither does Barton.
