The College Dropout Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Disagree with that entirely. KDB's fundamentally a different type of player (a 10 / wide midielder converted to an 8) but even taking that into consideration... nah. Someone said KDBs touch/control was a level above Gerrard. Disagree completely there. I mean, KDB's touch isn't even top 5 at City. IMO I think most City players output is about 10% greater than they would get at other elite clubs. As a unit they are so dominant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 22 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: Surely there's a lower bar for world-class than Messi/Ronaldo? As far as world-class number 8 type player - I think - Iniesta, Kroos, Modric, Seedorf, Scholes and Gerrard is in that group even if he's not close to being #1. Other types of midfielder like a Vieira, Kante, Pirlo. Even this week Barella & Gundogan. Henderson isn't as good a footballer as them. Top players would come in and add value for multiple top class teams. Henderson has never been that level. Even he would acknowledge that. But for that Liverpool team - he's the guy. Modric, Iniesta and Seedorf were a level above the others mentioned imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 We've the 5th best defence in the league and have been absolutely tanked on numerous occasions. Was surprised at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I’ve just been listening to radio there and they were on about Wrexham and how the owners came to be. They were mentioning that Hartlepool were on the list of clubs they were looking at, a massively missed opportunity for Hartlepool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 On 10/05/2023 at 21:14, ponsaelius said: It's quite a good comparison because both players are categorised as midfielders but probably have had the best form of their careers playing effectively as second forwards. Gerrard was at his best when he played off Torres for Liverpool IMO. De Bruyne in this city team doesn't actually get the ball a huge amount for a team of their quality - comparing him to a other Guardiola midfielder like Iniesta for example. But he's ridiculously direct and effective one he gets it. Last night was a case in point. Personally I think De Bruyne is the more effective but he's played in a completely dominant team which has made his life easier. Gerrard carried some very ordinary Liverpool sides to great things. Yeah, this is essentially it for me. It can't be overstated just how much Gerrard carried that Liverpool team around 2005, I've never seen that (maybe because we've not needed to see it) from De Bruyne.
