for me its clear it is city. As a rival fan there is no desputing kevin de bruyne, david silva, yaya toure, fernandinho, gundogan, rodri, bernardo silva,
Fun fact, KDB's 5 aside team (from couple of years ago): KDB, Neymar, Messi, Bernardo and Kanté. Obv Ney&Messi are irrelevant for the conversation. However found it interesting (but not that surprising) that the one other City player he picked was Bernardo. As KDB explained himself: Incredible in tight spaces, technically gifted and also defensively extremely strong/tenacious. Complete player who's pretty good at everything. ....he also said that Bernardo is a massive wind up which would be a plus LOL. That said...Bernardo isn't exactly a midfielder either. Has spent maybe 1 season in total out of 6 seasons as an attacking midfielder. 2 as defensive midfielder next to Rodri and 3 on the right wing. As Pep always says: "Bernardo's position is 'football player'. He understands the game." And as some of City's players jokingly say: "Bernardo is the teacher's pet." As well as: "He's our attacking defender. Doesn't really attack when he plays winger. Doesn't really defend when he's playing DM...no one really knows what he even does to be honest." - Mahrez. edit: at monaco he was also playing more of a winger position. was the the far right player in a 4-4-2
I never thought about that point about Wenger being ahead of his era with the Tekky small type of midfielder profile he had circa 2010 give or take. He was a visionary and influential for sure. Of course Pep and City are the standard now and rightfully so.
With United, we’ve never been by stacked in the midfield collection. It’s basically only Scholes/Keane/Carrick. United have never had a successful continental midfielders. Veron flopped, Pogba flopped, Kleberson flopped.
Fuad wins with that 5. There’s a shout for Scholes in there IMO. Modric prime at Spurs, short stint I get that. Giggs, Stevie G, not tech enough for fives. Cazorla was madness. Essien?? Regardless, great debate and I pray the glory days of midfield skill and dominance return to football.
Man City and it’s not close. Chelsea/Arsenal/United all have a great case for second, but City is clear by a mile. Player for player, concurrent midfield three, GOAT midfielder in Prem (KDB). When Fernandinho, Silva or Toure, and Bernardo/Gundogan aren’t making your team’s all time midfield three, you’ve clearly had the best midfielders ever.
Top 5 vs Top 5 Lampard vs KDB for me Frank edges it Kante vs Yaya Yaya edges it Makelele vs Fernandinho Makelele comfortably Fabregas vs D Silva I can’t split them Mata vs Gundo imma go Gundo for longevity but Mata wins on peak.
I’m sorry but Lampard is not ahead of KDB. And really it’s not close. He was asked to be a goalscorer for those Chelsea teams which explains his incredible goal tally. Skill for skill he doesn’t even touch KDB. Passing, defending, ball carrying, positioning. It’s KDB all day. And if you think Juan fucking Mata was at ANY point better than Gundo you need your brain checked. Rodri right now is better than Makelele ever was. You clowns think because someone played 20 years ago that they’re somehow better. Rodri is the best DM in the world and has been for quite some time.
@@LeominsterFC you’re definitely a teenager. Lampard wasn’t just a goal scorer 😂😂 he was the complete 8. His defensive ability was far superior to KDB. That’s like when you kids say Ronaldo was just a goal scorer cause you never saw him when he was younger. Makelele is the best DM the sport has seen he was so good the position got named after him. Rodri isn’t even involved yet he’s been here less than 4 years & he struggled in his first season. Mata in 2012/13 was one of the best 10s the league has ever seen.
Chelsea floor me bc there core midfielder could work under different systems and longevity. Just the name of the midfielder that Chelsea have is clear of city head to head except kdb. Lampard, ballack, essien, Kante makalele,cese farebgas, matic and mikel Obi. All as a collective is better than City’s midfielder
@Edraxx R Fabregas became elite at Arsenal. Spent the majority of his career with usmbHe was at the end of his career when he joined Chelsea. Yes he won the title with you but he became HIM at Arsenal and was at his prime at Arsenal.

City most talented/technical, beautiful,
Chelsea were most physical monsters/dominance: Makelele, Essien, Ballack, Kante, Ramires, physical beasts

Sick ep! Top 6 five aside draft!
Great knowledge getting served
Elite vid 👏🏽
Love this content
Do best wingers combo like robben ribery as a combination
Great show
I just know Fabregas was always in the winning team on Rondos. That Barca training would make a different level in a 5-a-side
Winger draft or you can do an all Forwards draft (winger/insider fwd/strikers etc)

05 chelsea team was arguably the best prem team with 08 United up there in status prime José and ferguesons ronaldo was different nearly 2 decades ago

Clearly Chelsea
Manchester City midfielder
My 5 a side team defo winning that match 🤣

Yea whatever u say man.
Top 5 vs Top 5
Lampard vs KDB for me Frank edges it
Kante vs Yaya Yaya edges it
Makelele vs Fernandinho Makelele comfortably
Fabregas vs D Silva I can’t split them
Mata vs Gundo imma go Gundo for longevity but Mata wins on peak.

Makelele is the best DM the sport has seen he was so good the position got named after him.
Rodri isn’t even involved yet he’s been here less than 4 years & he struggled in his first season.
Mata in 2012/13 was one of the best 10s the league has ever seen.
Shoutout for mentioning arsenal. Our defence ruined us in the late 00s and early 10s

Manchester City by a mile elite midfielders over the years
Arsenal was synonymous with midfielders for like a decade
For an Arsenal 5 aside you have to have Jack wilshere
Doing what?😂
You forgot Kante
City's midifield is clear man
Mancity easily ✅
Cams team edges this one, last minute dagger from kdb😂
Arsenal have the best collection of midfielders, this is sooo disrespectful: Viera, Petit, Gilberto Silva, Fabregas, Ozil, Cazorla.
