Debate on Sky after the game last night and Redknapp says he is now clearly ahead of Scholes, Gerrard , Lampard, Vieira, Toure etc
Is he the best for you?
Is he the best for you?
I‘d say yes, though he does have the advantage of playing in a brilliant team.
Why not?He is in the top bracket but still don’t think will be remembered in 20 years time like folk remember viera, Keane, gerrard
, lampard and scholes
His crosses are passes.I think he’s the best I’ve seen. He can put swerve and pace on the ball that the others can’t, not even Scholes.
I'd agree with your assessment. Gerrard had it all. The ugly side too. Never see that nasty streak with de Bruyne. Gerrard had it in spades.He's a great player and is in the argument, no doubt about it.
You could argue the fact he is surrounded by world class players has an impact on his game, for the likes of Gerrard, Viera, Lampard etc. would it be fair to say they weren't surrounded by world class players? Maybe.
For me the best midfielder the EPL has ever seen is Gerrard. He was the epitome of a leader and a Captain. He single handedly dragged that team to victory so many times. Inlcuding a CL final against all the odds. Doesn't have the league titles De Bruyne has though.
100% agree. Keane, Vieira, Lampard, Scholes, De Bruyne etc. all great players but all played in sides that, for the most part, were vastly superior to the teams that Gerrard was playing in. Gerrard had it all and is the best for me.If Gerrard played in better teams I don't think there would be a debate

Hahahahaha no
Pep often takes him off or drops him in big games.
You don't drop the best midfielder of all time for tactical reasons.Which big games has he dropped him in?
Fitness is the one thing that's ever really held him back and that's why he's needed a break here or there but he's rarely if ever left out purely for tactical reasons especially in big games.
Exactly my point..You don't drop the best midfielder of all time for tactical reasons.
Except it absolutely does happen, and he takes him off often as well. Nowhere near a prime Gerrard.Exactly my point..
Im not sure. Its probably a personal thing where I used to watch a lot more football on tv 20 years ago than I do now so they are the players I enjoyed watching the most. Most times city are on tv I don't watch as I find them pretty boring to watchWhy not?

I'm not privy to a players full fitness I'm afraid.Give me an example then? A big game where a fully fit kev has been dropped for a big game?
Loads of people say this. I don’t know how anyone who enjoys football can find City boring to watch. There hasn’t been many sides as enjoyable to watch as a neutral imo.Im not sure.
