Just this post in the Pep v Maureen thread on ragcafe...
Is this clown actually trying to compare Silva and McTominay?....and "Pogba is ahead of KDB".......FUCKINGHELL.
I see it:
GK=DDG>Ederson (DDG doesn’t play out the back like Ederson but we don’t know if he even can because of our system is to punt it deep)
Defense: Pep would take Bailey and Lindelof over his current CBs (except Kompany who is awesome but rarely fit)
RB/LB are comparable and hard to argue which are better (Mendy is better than Shaw but both have had injury issues and Jose still doesn’t trust Shaw for whatever reason)
Midfield: talent and numbers show Pogba is slightly ahead of De Bruyne when on the field (Pogs missed over a month this season and is typically played outside of his strengths) to say otherwise means you just don’t like Pogba
CDMs are similar class and get the job done
David Silva is much better than Scot McT but they are obviously asked to do different things within their systems
Attack: Aguero is better than Rom but in fairness to Rom Aguero gets way more service and chances
Martial and Sane are both super talented young attackers (I think Martial may be a better talent but he needs a different system for sure to prove that. I don’t see a potential Balon Dor winner in Sane like Martial, but Sane is producing more at the moment so I am not discrediting him at all)
Alexis is better than Jesus at the moment but for how long? (Alexis also isn’t fitting into our system yet)
