I thought it was a reasonable question too, but the poll as it stands suggests otherwise.Really good question.... makes you think for sure.
Ali Mac, Caicedo would be in it, not sure the hairbear ousts Pervis?
I think you’re about right. Starting midfield in the split Potter / RDZ season was better. Attacking options and bench threats better now. Defence probably similar but neither defence world beating.Which is better? This one, or the class of 2 years ago
Personally I'd say the one the first 11 (12 or 13) was better under Potter/De Zerbi, but the strength in depth all over the pitch now surpasses that squad.
How about the team that lined up and battered Man Utd 4-0 at the end of the season prior to that?The peak first XI in 2022/23. I remember a R5 MNFC where they went through every PL position, deciding Estupinan was the best LB, whilst Ferguson was unbelievable. This midfield was the finished article, as good as any in the PL except say Abu Dhabi’s at the time.

But this current squad with its depth is better imho.

As first XIs go, we won't see many better line up for the Albion than that.

Crystal tips wasn’t part of then 22-23 team. The tosser was upgraded to Pervis in August 22 and Tony Bloom made a net gain of 45m.Really good question.... makes you think for sure.

Last sentence is very debatable. The main partnership 2 seasons ago was dunk and webbo.Imho Estupinan 2022/23 was better than Cuckoo 2021/22. Inexplicably Estupinan’s defending deteriorated soon afterwards starting at the Amex Aug 23 versus West Ham. Defensively, with pace and power … Caicedo and Estupinan dovetailed magnificently. Mitoma’s far better and more consistent than Trossard was. Colwill and Dunk had it all as a combo.
