Best player ever in the Premier League?

[pride in battle]

I absolutely did not say he was “not good in the air and weak in the challenge”.

You did, were you pissed ?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Yes you did...

“He isn’t aerially dominant” is not the same as saying “he’s not good in the air”.

It’s saying he doesn’t dominate, like someone such as Kompany or Terry did.

He’s good at it, but he doesn’t dominate.

Saying “he rarely out strengths an opponent” is not the same as saying “he is weak in the challenge”.

Look at Van Dyke for example - uses pure brute strength several times a game. Walker doesn’t.

That doesn’t mean he is “weak in the challenge”.

Walker’s game is based primarily on his explosiveness over the first 10 metres, alongside his pace over slightly longer distances.

You very, very rarely see an opponent beat him in that area of the game.

Henry. Was playing today's football 20 years ago.

Great way of putting it

Adams captained Arsenal and England. He was a legend of a player.

Sad to see Giggs and Scholes getting slagged too.

Pains me to say it, he is obviously a cock but Giggs was a great player

You were pissed then...

Adam’s above Kompany?

Vinnie was a much better footballer.

Kom

I toiled over vinny, I thought about terry as all 3 TA, VK, JT but no one can deny what Adams did to make arsenal become relevent again, in the present era of technical player he looks a dinosaur, but blue tinted specs off his contribition was massive

Outside of City players, I’d go for Henry. When they gave us a drubbing that day at Maine Road was quite something else. Not many opposition players get clspped off but he did that day.

Followed by Zola. I remember watching him turn a few players inside out (God knows who the opposition was that day) but vividly remember my mum saying ‘go on little fella!’ Still cracks me up her saying that.

Silva by a mile

City humour at its finest that day, when we scored a late consolation; "You’re not singing anymore!"

GK Danish Red Nose
RB Walker
CB Terry
CB Stones
LB Cole
DM RODRI
CM KDB
CM Lampard
CF Henry
CF Shearer
CF Kane

Rodri will end all discussions about best player in a season or two. He can do it all, after that you will have KDB and Henry.
