Impossible question. They offered different things. Kev for cavalry charges downfield and exquisite, perfectly weighted, medium and long distance passes and stunning goals. Dave for incredible control in tight situations, enabling him to play right up on top of parked opposition buses, eye of the needle passes, never giving the ball away and incredible consistency. Dave will be my favourite ever City player until the day I die, but there’s no science to that preference. You’d could make just as good a case for Kev.
Our privilege to have watched the 4 greatest midfield players (in terms of filling their own unique roles) in PL history. Kev, Dave, Ya Ya, Ferna. Salute them all!
