Hazard started the season poorly but has been superb lately, probably been our best player this season on the whole.

We could do with a better 2nd choice keeper in case Mignolet takes some time to get his form back. Should have done better with 3 goals in our last 4 games, 2 of which cost us dearly
Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not saying he hasn't got a lot better but De Gea for me. Just better overall.
Major way of our play?
You got some sick beats bruv

GHG nooooooooo it's horrible. Get it out out out!
@qin. Oh I agree, he's been mint the last few months but if we're doing a team of the season got to look at it as a whole.
He was vital to Arsenals season so far. Couldn't be top without him. Boruc for president.
Best CB in the league
5 years ago 
He boots it up to Giroud, so yeah, tis' a big part of our play. Focus on it next time you watch us, you'll notice.
Don't rate De Gea (or Mignolet) in that department at all.

What winger has been better than Hazard this season in the premier league? 9 goals and lots of chances created (he was leading this in December, not sure about now).
Assaidi
Is this based on this season only? If so Vidic (edit: and Kompany) should be nowhere near, Coleman should be in for Zabaleta and probably Ramsey for Fernandinho.

Speaking of centrebacks who have gotten worse, Agger would have been world class if he didn't get injured so often after 2007. He was incredible in 06/07, and has regressed if anything
I still love him, but he does my head in. All he has to do is pay attention to the person he's marking when the opposition winger is in a crossing position, or when a set piece is being prepared, and he'll be back in the team. Its like his brain turns off for that vital second.
Tough one between Mert n Vidic.
Mert better this season. In 2013 year, tough one. Still, not a fan on Mertasacker
Fernandinho better than Ramsey defensively. Rooney has been immense.
Nothing to change
Only blind bias has Vidic over Mertesacker in your list.
Vermaelin (?) Is another who Started out pretty well.Speaking of centrebacks who have gotten worse, Agger would have been world class if he didn't get injured so often after 2007. He was incredible in 06/07, and has regressed if anything

Where's the Cortese money, John?So John Henry is flying in for talks in Liverpool and Cortese is about to resign.
More than just a Coincidence?
Never happening but he would be such be a huge upgrade on Ayre and would be the CEO we would need.
Yeah, we had Given (lol) coming in at the end of the summer window but it fell through.
That Danny Ward is meant to be decent, wouldn't mind giving him a chance instead of Jones although he did play quite well against Oldham.
Whenever he played this season he has looked really good. It's just Kosh and Mert are playing in God Mode.

He was horrible at OT away when Mert had to come of though.

Kompany's become that default #1 CB who doesn't get called out when he makes mistakes, but he really has no place in any of these halfway-TOTS lists. Lovren, Koscielny, and Jagielka have all been better.
Nah, it'll be fine. Doesn't change anything on the DS4.
Word.
Gundogan is dead. If he still has pain, then he's only postponing this inevitable surgery. He will need minimum 1 complete season between surgery + recovery, so anyone who purchase him can forget about Ilkay for the first season at least and hope he surgery is fully successful.
Quite sad, he's the best DM/CM in Germany

De Gea, Coleman, Mertesacker, Lovren, Gibbs, Ramsey, Fernandinho, Suarez, Lallana, Hazard, Aguero
Rooney has really good stats too, Negredo and Baines and Toure and Sczeszny close

Indeed, and if its really some kind of a displacement of the vertrebral column, than its pretty sure that he needs medical treatmant around the clock.
whereeeeee!? how!? which!??

Cheers
To elaborate, the team I posted is a general 'best of the league' rather than best of the season, best of 2013 or anything like that.
This season, I'd have Coleman above Zabaleta, Koscielny above Kompany, might take Baines out and would take Ozil out
Fernandinho is in it by default tbh, no DM in the PL comes close to the likes of Busquets and Martinez

Not sure about the surgery part, think he's completely fucked if it doesn't heal on it's own.
I like that the bf can't deduct shit from the texts lol

Meulensteen already in hot water. What a tit.
I...can't be the only one who likes Willa? Is she really an acquired taste?
maybe she is..
Not that many people follow her on twitter and her BF is below average.
I'll try asking her out then
I thought we were willa bros?
Been playing really well since he came back from his most recent injury. He clearly is the best CB in the league by a wide margin when he's healthy. I do agree that solely based on the half season thus far that you could make a case for others over him since he missed so much time, but if you're trying to field the best team from the league, he's absolutely in it and the Captain.
Saw this on reddit (I avoided that place for like 10 years but finally started using it recently.. it's okay) and thought it was pretty cool. This guy's kit designs for the EPL are impressive (he's done it for the MLS as well apparently): http://www.offtheballsc.com/epldesigns. In general, I like the third kits the most.. Soton's proposed 3rd kit is probably my favorite:
