From missing sitters, scoring injury time winners and off the court antics, the no. 9 has to be our Lord, Lord Bendtner

OP what about handsome XI? With Giroud as captain and Pablo Mario as vice?
Auba when he first joined and subsequently carried the team
Giroud because he’s so god damn handsome. Tbf he was one of the best strikers to do one-twos with, has the height and header threat with set pieces and other long ball plays, and can score screamers. But he’s a bit slow. Still my favourite striker and I’m happy to see him do well elsewhere
But like with many of you, I can’t deny RVP is the best out of the bunch. He had one of the best weak foot for any left footed footballers, not just strikers. Shooting technique he’s off the charts
My heart says Giroud but I think it should be RVP
It’s hard as hell. But talking of prime and ceiling I think ozil and cesc, however much I love santi. Those two can create chances like no other
Santi is hella fun to watch tho, and he’ll cover all corner kicks and free kicks haha
The only true contenders should be ozil, cesc, santi and ramsey. Ozil for his magic, santi because he’s fun as hell to watch and you’ll only need one corner kicker and have all free kicks covered. Cesc for his pinpoint passing and ramsey for his engine and goal threat
But if we only get to choose two it’s probably ozil and cesc. That’s saying a lot because Santi is absolutely amazing. But prime ozil just has that x factor and cesc’s passing is just too good.
If we talk about ceilings, ozil is just on another dimension when he’s peak
Has to be Kos and saliba for both CB positions, even though Gabriel is very close to Kos and given time could be even better
Saliba probably the least controversial pick out of the xi
Kos I remember thinking he’s the best CB in the world for a moment. Gabriel has some likeless. He’s kinda speedy, very good in the air and always a goal threat for our corners
It’s great seeing so many people fond of Leno. Apart from his stopsaving abilities I just feel like he’s a very likeable lad
Always got a soft spot for Leno and Szczesny
But assuming we’re playing the current system I would choose rams or raya.
Martinelli because he’s rarely a 9 or 10 but he is consistently a 7 or 8. Rarely has a bad or quiet game
Defensively and in terms of tracking back he’s second to none as a winger
If there’s an overlapping wingback on his side he could be even more flexible in his attacks
Still lots of room for improvements (decision making, shooting), but he’s hella fun to watch
Tbh these are the toughest competitions in Europe so I’ll be realistic
Two big wins and the rest just normal sized wins ✌️
One of, if not the most iconic scenes from the whole documentary for me
There were some moments this game that made me smile, like Saka giving his captain’s speech during the pre match huddle, Eddie’s third goal, and Saka handing a ball to Eddie during his hat trick celebration
But none made me smile more than seeing the bench getting so genuinely happy after Tomi scored. So much love 🥲
That’s the best Brazilian no. 9!
Nah, no way
City, Arsenal, Liverpool challenging. In that order
Pretty sure these teams will get top 4 as well. The final spot is harder to say
