I'm going with a 25-man squad. The squad won't contain players who peaked before we moved to the Emirates, which excludes the likes of Henry, Gilberto, Ljungberg, Sol Campbell and Lehmann.

Cech

Sagna Koscielny Mertesacker Clichy

Flamini Cesc

Nasri Ozil Alexis

van Persie


Substitutes: Szczesny, Vermaelen, Monreal, Song, Cazorla, Hleb, Adebayor.

Reserves: Mustafi, Bellerin, Coquelin, Rosicky, Arshavin, Eduardo, Giroud.

Pleased to see Merts in so many teams. Him and Kos have easily been our best pairing in this era.

Conversely, it might be interesting to plot the worst Emirates era team. A few players immediately spring to my mind.

We haven't really had any great players since leaving Highbury.

They all left before moved.

Kos is maybe arsenals most overrated player of the emirates era. He's clumsy and rubbish at defending headers, he's always out of position because he wants to be a hero all the time.

I must disagree. We've had a few exceptional players since moving to the Emirates. The problem has often been the supporting cast not being anywhere near as formidable as the star players. Wengerball requires a high level of skill from all players on the pitch, and most players haven't lived up to that standard.

If youre going for the worst one then that's a shocking effort

At least 4 possibly 5 are nowhere near the worst
