The fact the guy struggled with Silva vs Ozil is shocking.
He is an Arsenal fan, what do you really expect?
Ozil was better player than Silva but not in the premier league.
Ozil was once the best midfielder in the world...Silva nowhere near
Ozil all time is clear of silva
Silva just had better pl legacy
@@raghavsrivastava2108as a player yes in the premier league no
How people not rate David Silva is crazy. This man was running city’s midfield for 10 years and was easily one of the best when he was playing. Plus he won the WC for Spain and was crucial in their EURO 2012 win 😂
Very true. In fact, it was the United fan who reacted the wildest when subbing his off for Ozilxwas suggested which says something.
It hurts right. Actually I have seen one City fan saying Gundogon being better than Silva.
he’s at least 6 but could be 3 or so
Talking absolute shite, played less than 70mins in the whole World Cup and was the 1st subbed off in basically every game of the euros. As for running the midfield you talking waffle, city wanted to get rid off him for a playing running a midfield for 10 years. Kante might not be able to do everything he does but he his head and shoulders above silva 😂
Ranking him 7th of all time PL is not rating him?
Ozil not Silva?? Mate as a Liverpool fan, David silva is one of the most best players ever. Legend for City, legend as a whole
Ya he was better, just, bit of your talking pl legacy, duh is silva, spent more time here & was more consistent
he is not underrated he is world class but i wouldnt say underrated
Career wise Ozil washes him and it ain’t fair.Prem Silva can have it
@@michaelo9426 i wouldnt say wash but he was more skilled and a better player in career wise
Özil over David silva is crazy
ain’t no way… I cant watch any further after that outrageous statement
Terrible decision
It's English guys.. Absolute 0 ball knowledge as always 😂
@@eL--RaLfr
hey even though I’m an Arsenal fan THAT IS CRAZY LIKE WATCH SOME FOOTBALL MAN OZIL WAS SOOOO GOOD MAN
Ozil over David Silva is criminally insane
fr
Ozil does better than Silva if he plays in Man city
@@anakinskywalker212not true , pep wouldn’t play him because ozil won’t do any off the ball work
oiii i actually hear it. You're right @@anakinskywalker212
@@mexicansavage1782 thats a fake notion. NPC comment tbh. You just need guys to work around him and city is capable. I never heard that notion when he was at Madrid
“Silva 11-th” - I turn off the video
David Silva had 10 seasons in the prem, in the first team and never had an off-season. Kept himself to himself, never negative press or interviews. Just pure beautiful football. 10 years without ever dropping form for me is top 5. I feel like these lists suffer from looking at the past with rose tinted glasses. Silva was world class.
Ozil was just better ability wise and everything.Prem yes Silva Career hell no.Has to be Ozil but it’s hard to judge a player based on a couple years they spent in on one league.
@@michaelo9426HAHAHA
@@michaelo9426 and this video about PL midfielder bruh 😂
@@michaelo9426career hell no ?? What did ozil won that silva didnt? Bloke won 4 pl, 1 world cup 2 euros. How ozil’s had better career than that ???
Yes Stevie never won the prem but Buffon never won the UCL either and many people would put him in an all time UCL team
Maldini never won a World Cup, but he gets into most people’s all time international XIs
@@GIBBO4182Exactly. That puts that debate to rest
Anyone using team achievements to assess individual player quality really isn’t worth debating with.
Peoples excuses for gerrard is crazy. he had his chances to move clubs but he knew he was not gonna be able to stand out in Chelsea. In Liverpool it was easier to stand out as an individual player
@@HessenUK💯 I couldn’t agree more with you!! It’s the worst possible way to evaluate how good an INDIVIDUAL is/was
The disrespect over Frank is insane, people seem to forget frank technical ability and his assists in world football, but people seem to only mention his goals.
He was phenomenal, but not as phenomenal is the three players ahead of him.
Has to be above de bruyne atm! 100%
I mean I have lampard number 1. Midfielders nowadays wouldn't be getting as high assist and goal numbers I the prem without him existing.
@@jordanbishop6793atm lampard doesn't play football so de bruyne would destroy lampard but thumis is all time
To be fair Lampard scores all type of goals including multiple long range free kicks, long range goals and show cases different styles of passing range, he was phenomenal.
I mean the magical Ronaldinho stopped him from winning the best player award in 2005
Ozil over Silva? I’m not sure I’ll be able to get through this video. That is such a horrendous take.😂
I bet it wasn’t crazy when Ozil wore the white of Real Madrid and Silva wore the blue of Manchester. Not saying either is right, just letting have something to think about.
@@nascimentoarantes strictly talking prem btw
@@pogboom5819I know. And yes Silva was immense for City, one of the greats of the PL definitely. Only thing is Arsenal had no ambition when Ozil was there, not enough quality to win things, can’t really knock Ozil for an institutional failure.
@@nascimentoarantes biggest "what if" for him? 15/16 was such a let down for arsenal, wenger should've been doing much more in the market.
Gerrard Started his career as a RB, played CM most of his career, played RM 1 season, played CAM in his prime days with Torres, played CDM in his twilight years. This guy can play anywhere. Complete player.
0 prem titles
Roy Keane is better than Gerrard
I have same amount of WC knockout goals as Ronaldo so me = Ronaldo ,...... @@harrisonmartin1134
KDB has played as a winger, an 8, a 10 and a false 9. If he wasn't so good he could have played fullback as well. KDB > Gerrard.
Gerrard is not top 5 LMAO
It is incredible to see how quickly people fall back on collective achievements when discussing individual qualities. Its the weakest factor in a player’s ability and yet it’s the first crutch bad pundits jump to.
Gerrard benefited playing for liverpool bc he stood out more, thats why he was scared to move to Chelsea. He wanted to be in the spotlight as an individual
@@KristianDabeskiyeah, he played for England as well but didn't really stand out
collective achievement is the most important thing, the whole point of playing football is to win trophies, that is what players only care about. If messi never won a trophy he would not even be considered as top 10 of all time. Stats are and individual ability are almost irrelevant if there is nothing to show for it.
Interesting take on it.
I personally like these pundits.
They seem to know their stats at least.
💯
Gerrard is the most complete midfielder. Great leader and carried that liverpool team ,not forgetting that he could do it all
Could do it all except win a prem
0 league titles
English biased,, Gerard had average passing and wasn’t fast or dynamic in his movement.
Roy Keane is better than Gerrard
Yaya was more complete. Could play all the way down the spine of a team.
The David Silva disrespect!! He is a sure top 5 for me! SMH
Great midfielder but not top 5. Top 5 pretty clear, Scholes, KDB, Gerrard, Lampard, Keane, Vieira all ahead
u joker top 5 🤣
Gerrard is the complete midfielder. Could play as a world class 6, 8, & 10! Could even argue about him as a 7 as well. Never winning the league will count against him for some people though
It does count against him, big time. People love throwing the players he played with under this bus in order to prop him up.
@@young_raymond47like I’ve said elsewhere. Pick an all time international XI. Most people would pick Maldini in it, even though he never won a World Cup!
If KdB played for Liverpool 20 years ago and won nothing and Gerrard was playing for this City side and winning everything, not a single person would be saying KdB was better. People are utterly blind to their biases and how much they care about team achievements.
6?!?!?!? are you ok?
@@GIBBO4182maldini won cl and the league many times, lots of legends never won the World Cup but only a couple never won the league
In my opinion KDB is already #1... He's already played 9 seasons. The longevity argument is mute in my opinion. His records speaks for itself.
KDB 249 app 65 goals (0.26) 106 assists (0.43) 4 penalties
Scholes 499 app 107 goals (0.21) 55 assists (0.11) 0 penalties
Gerrard 504 app 120 goals (0.24) 92 assists (0.18) 29 penalties
Lampard 609 app 177 goals (0.29) 102 assists (0.17) 32 penalties
I don't see how KDB is not #1 if you've watched both eras, you'd comfortably say KDB is by far the most talented out of the bunch, and his stats back that up. His goal ratio is better than Lampard's (without the penalties), and his assists ratio completely smashes the others, he's assists ratio is better than anyone in premier league history, and actually puts alot of great to shame.
Scholes in my opinion is clear 2nd, he might not be as good as Lampard and Gerrard in terms of explosiveness and headline grabbing, but he did things with the ball that neither Gerrard or Lampard can do, that makes him so good.
Gerrard is a very close 3rd, out of the 4 he's the only one that can single handedly drag his team to a win. The other 3 needed their team mates. But can Gerrard control a game like Scholes? no. Can he pass the ball like Scholes? no.
Lampard i think is undoubtedly #4 without any debate. He's not as talented as the other 3, his goals statistics were impressive, but like Gerrard so many were penalties. His goal ratio down to 0.23 without penalties, same for Gerrard 0.18 without penalties.
Both Lampard and Gerrard had better statistics than Scholes because they didn't have Giggs and Beckham contributing just as much. You would find Gerrard's and Lampard's team mates won't have anywhere near as good statistics as Scholes' team mates. Beckham 265 app 62 goals (0.23) 80 assists (0.30) which shared alot of the creativity of a team.
Anyways, sometimes statistics clearly don't represent the full story, if you watch the game and understand the game, I don't think you would say Gerrard or Lampard above KDB and even Scholes. Neither were anywhere near as talented.
Nieve is always so good on these, love hearing her reasoning
I wonder what joey barton thinks of her. Wouldn't suit his agenda
Sneaking in gerrard first like we would not notice. Get him out of the top 3 now
💯 agree. I think they have a lot of women on as a token gesture, but she is clearly knowledgeable and has some really good takes imo. Great addition to the show
@@GIBBO4182😂😂😂😂 She's got the knowledge of an EA FC kid
@@KristianDabeskibruv it's English what do you expect
I'm sure they'd put Rooney over R9
Lampard 4th is absolutely criminal
Exactly
no
KDB ahead of lampard com on
I’d have him above scholes for sure …scholes was easily inferior of the 3 when “the” debate came up
@@scyven1 👍
my immediate reaction hearing David Silva's name being swept under the rug is hilarious😂
Having Kante at tenth is criminal
That's a bs of an argument. If think that he isn't rated enough, make a argument for it. Tell us whom he should be placed above. It's easy to make that.
Kante is def 10th he’s not better than the ones above him
@@adityasmenon9could go above Yaya
If they don't take into account that he was with the last team with a shock premier league win, world cup winner, and essentially won the UCL in my mind for Chelsea.
@@davycrockett8886 don't think the world cup is used as a prem argument
Gerrard is the complete midfielder the only one I’ve ever saw.
Started at right back
Then dm
Then right wing
Then cm
Then cam
Then second striker
Could pass , shoot, tackle , head, two footed, pace and strength.
And he also had the ability drive average teams and lead them to trophies.
Fergie chased him , mourinho chased him.
He was better , he could do what I did but I couldn’t do what he did - Paul Scholes
Scholes easy number 2 btw
Lol glazing him hard right now
never won it though did he lol
At right wing, he was better, as a Cm not top 5
Absolute BS that Gerrard could do what Paul Scholes could. Ask Theirry Henry who he wanted to play with. Ask Guardiola. Gerrard can win you a game, Scholes wins you the league.
Cristiano is everything you want in a footballer. left foot, right foot, build, header, pace, agility... but Messi is better isn't he?
Not a fan of the way De Bruyne's success is undermined because 'He's playing for man city' as if this is some sort of detrament on his performances. He is the heartbeat and best player in that incredible team, which surely emphasises how incredible he is. He puts in world class after world class performance, for me he has to be number 1
Gerrard was a mentality monster.
Only guy to score a winning goal in every final he played in.
😂😂😂😂😂 It's true that's why he won 5 prems
Shame bout that slip
2012 FA cup final?
@@eL--RaL if the premier league had playoffs he probably would've!
It's a Premier league debate. Gerrard won nothing.
Great player, loyal and determined.
But as a Premier League player, underachieved.
And the tired old arguments that if he had played for a better team he would have won PL titles?
Ridiculous. He played for a very good Liverpool side. A team that won Champions Leagues...
He played with some of the all time greats. Owen. Suarez. Torres. Proven goalscorers.
Gerrard, a player that has become almost the unconventional choice out of pity.
Gerrard is an absolute legend of the game.
I'm a city fan and David Silva is the best player I've ever seen in a city shirt. A wonderful little player. Maybe you had to really watch him to appreciate him because he didn't always grab the headlines.
De bruyne is the best player we have ever had? Silva is more of a legacy player and the fact he stuck with us for 10 years and was quality on and off the pitch makes him a legend but KDB is our best of all time without a doubt
They put Gerrard on top so he can slip down the ladder
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He should not be in top 3. All excuses about he didn't play in the best team but its also a postive since u can standout more if you dont have elite around you. Lampard had world class around him everywhere which takes away alot of the credibility of his indiviual performances.
Haha how original. I'm laughing so hard right now. Well done pal
Giggs had to be on that list considering he was left mid and his numbers speak for itself even if it were the lower half, he needed to be on there and I'm not even a United fan.
As for the top 2 I have KDB ahead of Gerrard in Vision/Passing, but Gerrard beats him in every other department... Gerrard was a one man midfield defending, controlling, attacking his work rate was also double that of KDB who looks gassed most matches and as mentioned was all done while playing with a bang average squad, he really had to be everywhere in a game and didn't have the luxury of having top players behind him to allow him to focus just on attacking... Gerrard was 3 players in 1.
Gerrard is top nuff said
Roy Keane is better than Gerrard
Won as much PL titles as Stephen Hawking and Henry VIII
Scholes is better 😊
@@mrhussain9008 Poor take, stick to Cricket 😂
@@flem.mcr1no he isn't
Gerrard was essentially the perfect midfielder.
The perfect footballer. Played RB at first, then RW, then CM, then CAM, then CDM. He could do it all.
@@KasperK-su9oz kdb has sat like a cdm, has played cm, right mid, right wing, second striker, false nine(which is insanely hard to play). Lets not act like kdb hasnt done a ton of things.

@@dasurmel1424literally 🤣
The disrespect Fabregas gets is so unreal. 2nd most assists ever, multiple league titles, carried a terrible Arsenal team constantly to the top 4. Fabregas should be atleast top 5
By mentioning his achievements alone, you are explaining why he is great. To have an argument an why he is greater than others, you should be trying to tell us why he is better. I don't think that any non-Arsenal fan would argue on his behalf which says a lot. That's not the case with these 5.
He’s not in the top 5 mate. However, If he hadn’t left for Barcelona, he probably would be
The amount of disrespect gets is crazy 😮😮!!
@@Dan-tr5kw I think I can agree to this tbh.
He should get more praise though for what he did with a weak Arsenal side
I don’t think he’s disrespected, there’s just a lot of other very high level people to compare him against.
Ohhhhhh Kevin de bruyne
@Stuntpegg is the only guest who’s come on here and never had a howl of a shout
The recency bias of De Bruyne in these comments is staggering 🤦🏼♂️ Clearly a lot of kids who never saw Gerrard or Lampard play.
Nostagia bias of Gerrard and Lampard.
Nostalgia bias of Gerrard and Lampard
😂😂@@eL--RaL
Nobody can have an accurate opinion because if you ever pick an older player it’s called nostalgia bias, ever pick a newer player it’s called recency bias, and really there’s loads of club and country biases as well as personal preferences and a healthy amount of trolling for reactions.
Stop making things up. Lampard or Gerrard didn't have De Bruyne's short passing and vision, or De Bruyne's goalscoring, or assists.
Why are people so scared to say KDB is No.1
Not only 19 assists, Özil's total of 146 chances created in 2015-16 is still the most recorded by a player in a single Premier League season since Opta began collection of this metric in 1996. And that in a team with strikers like Giroud, Welbeck, Sanogo, Walcott, Campbell and Iwobi
Unreal
Gerard at 1 is crazy
Gerrard the most complete midfielder in football's history. None of those players mentioned would achieve the same Gerrard did in the Liverpool's poor era. Absolute legend! Greatest Premier league midfielder off all time!
Roy Keane is better than Gerrard
KDB is objectively better tho. more assists, more G/A in less games, 5 premier league trophies, a treble, 2 player of the season, most team of the year appearnces for any midfielder ever. Gerrard has never won a single premier league trophy, not even one.
Gerrard was an athlete. Textbook footballer. He was great at a lot of things, but there wasn't one thing that he was the best in the world at. As a midfielder, KDB, Scholes, Fabregas, Silva were better.
@@naumaanhamidput down the glue
It's hard to know this for sure, because he didn't have the luxury of being able to just do one thing like your other mentioned names, he basically had to be 3 players in 1 and was constantly moving covering defending, controlling, then attacking he was the most complete all round midfielder. KDB's vision/passing is exceptional but he is lucky to have a fantastic back line to allow him to coast and catch his breath when not attacking as he gets gassed if he exerts himself too much.... Gerrard didn't have that luxury he was end to end, then still having to be creative while running on fumes.
Gerrard>>>>>>>>>>> Kdb>>>Scholes>>>>Silva>> Lampard then the rest.@@naumaanhamid
Without Carzola, ozil wouldnt of been able to do what he did best. the drop off in performance levels from Ozil when Carzola got injured was mad.
Bro fabregas should definitely be higher.. he's second most assist in premier League history for god's sake
I knew he would be dismissed. I think it’s his lack of goals or shinning moments
Gerrard, KDB , Scholes and Lampard are top 4 midfielders in Prem and you can argue against the wall 🙂
Vieira belongs in that elite group
and so does Silva. Also an argument for Keane. Fabregas, Kante, and Toure a small level below.
@beehivecluster7496 viera 5 but i would say all others apart
Stevie G is so overrated whether you hate Liverpool or love Liverpool he’s so overrated
The other guy doesn't know football one bit. Any sensible football person won't put Ozil over David Silva. Maybe cos he's an Arsenal fan
You can't be the greatest midfielder of all time without winning the premier league. Don't bring he played for a weaker team. Ngolo Kante won the premier league with Leicester and he had only Mahrez and Vardy with him. Whereas Steven Gerrard had prime Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso and still failed to win it.
I think Fernandinho needs more love.. did more for city than kante did for chelsea
Absolutely not.. Fernandinho isn’t even on the same stratosphere as kante
@@danielpollock6893 why? Purely premier league, more longevity, unbelievably consistent and an incredible leader who many coming up at city have said they learned so much of, if Fernandinho wasn’t at city Rodri wouldn’t be what he is today.
@@danielpollock6893stop bro
@@niallrichardsonmancityfan3758 fernandinho is very talented but like carrick before him and rodri after, prem fans aren't going to rate them as highly as the others(and rightly so) as their main job in theses possession based sides is to enable the elite talents around them. The reason kante gets mentioned above them is kante had the unique ability of being everywhere and a monster in winning the ball, something that stands out. Personally i wouldnt have kante in my top 10 though
@@WizzyImz Kante just was a bit to injury prone towards the end of his career.. Fernandinho joined city at 27 and never left the team till he was 36!! Kante is awesome but just didn’t have the aura of Fernandinho.. ferna is just also my favourite type of player that can just effortlessly switch between 25 yard screamers, 30 yard switches and then towards the end of a game geniously break up play with clever interceptions tackles and my favourite part, awesome professional fouls. Probably biased as he’s my favourite player of all time but that’s the fun part of footballing opinions haha
I waited until the end to see a normal decision, but these De Bruyne-fearing analysts happily put him in 2nd place․And when Silva was considered weaker than Kante and Ozil, it was possible not to continue watching..
YAYA IS THE BEST . Can do it at both ends off the pitch .Score ,defend ,Assist, and control the game tempo . It's Just a shame he didn't do it as long as these guys who have been suggested ..

This is all debatable and matter of opinion, I dont see the point in some people in the comments arguing about it, they were all great at the end of the day. Just depends on who you prefer. Given that neither of the people deciding the list in the video are Liverpool fans and put Gerrard at number one speaks volumes for Gerrard though.
Kante won UCL being man of match in important games, WC too, won PL with Leicester 💀 this dude is criminally underrated. Kante is one of the best ever players in his position. Winning the premier league with Leicester City is an unbelievable flex.
I would put Santi Cazorla above Ozil not because I think he is a better player but because he performed far better than Ozil at Arsenal and I'm sure he is remembered much more fondly by Arsenal fans
Agreed 💯
The increase in performance when Ozil left says it all 😂
Scholes did the 10 role earlier in his career, then dropped deep and controlled the game, not many midfielders can do that as Gerrard proven himself.

@@zxcvj984 Anyone with any football sense would have Gerrard as number 1.
The way you should run this is by picking a play, both sides say where they have them, and then you make a decision where to put them
The way to look at it is which player at their peak would be first on the team sheet of an ultimate XI. For me it’s De Bruyne followed by Vieira/Gerrard/Scholes about equal.
Probably the best list I've seen all decade 😂 mad to even think about Silva not getting in though 🤔
KDB is clear at #1.
All you ever hear about Gerrard is IFs. IF he was in this team, IF he had those players, IF IF IF. No one ponders that IF KDB was in that Liverpool he would have won them a PL and more trophies. It's always the other way round and based on NOTHING.

Anyone who disagrees is just expressing a wish rather than a prediction. KDB's got all it takes to end this argument and progress to the next, being the best player in the EPL ever. The argument is closed for many but I personally would never. If a players does enough to earn the title, they shall have it.
He is already and it’s not that close
Nah, tarnished legacy cause city cheated their way to succes.
You man cheaty fans are so plastic@@Mcbikey24
Nah, Gerrard did everything defend ,control ,attack and was like having 3 players on the pitch especially with how average his squads were, KDB has him beat in vision/passing no doubt but that's where it ends, he is also lucky to have such an amazing squad that he can coast when he needs to as he more often than not gassed when he has to exert himself too much.
I have KDB quite a bit off of Gerrard and that isn't hating on KDB cause I think he is absolutely incredible.
absolutely no chance Roy Keane makes this list. Sure he was an amazing captain, possibly the best in PL, but as a player over the likes of Vieira, Yaya Toure, Kante? no chance
Kante 😂😂😂😂
Kante is easily top 5 midfielders in the prem. Look at how every manager has spoken of him. Literally 2 players in one.
Most people have no idea how great Ozil was. What he did at Madrid and then at Arsenal was crazy

This question is flawed. How can you possibly compare Ngolo Kante to De Bruyne? And say one is better than the other? They play completely different positions! It’s like asking who is the best defender in PL history and comparing Ashley Cole to Rio Ferdinand! You can’t compare a CM to a CAM to a CDM.
Ozil 😂😂😂😂 top 10 in the prem
Özil assists was unique
reached 10+ assists in a season only once, for comparison KDB has reached 18+ assists more times than that
As a chelsea fan, ive witnessed Gerrard era. He was unbelievable in every play style. He can attack, assist and defend. I think theres one time again Ac Milan where Gerrard had to play as a defender. Strong leadership too. His duo time with Torres was every team's nightmare i guess🤣its rare to see a player like him. The closes one maybe Bellingham
"Yes!!! Yes, Neve yes!!!" I love it ❤
Scholes is unbelievably underrated so many great former players including Pele ronaldihino iniesta henry zidane etc have all praised him as one of their hardest opponents and as one of the best midfielders of all time
Pele named El Hadji Diouf as one of the best 100 players of all time. Shouldn't always trust great players to determine how good other players are/were.
@@cgopie1 100? cmon mate
roy keane
W list.
Stevie is the GOAT, can do EVERYTHING the rest combined can, on his own
There are more successful midfielders than Gerrard, but pound for pound he is the best PL midfielder.
Yep, Stevie G. Last game I watched at Anfield fortuitously for me happened to be his debut. 😎
So the greatest PL midfielder has never won the PL 🤣
Shows how good Gerrard was. You do realise that strengthens the argument 😂
@@sib1930needs trophies
Very stupid,never win can be top😅😅😅😅😅,,
And the greatest premier league striker never one the premier league? Bow down HK.
It's just disrespectful to even suggest such. What is the point of the competition if not to show who is the best? You can be the heartbeat of the best team in the land for 2 decades, but be seen as lower than a player in a team that never won it.
Obviously there is leeway for exceptional players, but this is way too far. Kante carried Leicester to a title in his first season (a team that nearly got relegated the previous season), but I'm supposed to believe Gerrard was some tortured soul who simply couldn't win with paupers like Alonso, Reina, Carragher, Torres, Mascherano etc.
Unpopular opinion: Gerrard's mystique and leadership have overrated him, he never reached the level of Lampard and much less the one Scholes had. And when De Bruyne retires (after having won 2 UCLs, equaling Schooles trophies) will be unanimously not only the best player in City's history, but also the best midfielder of the Premier era
1. Kdb
2. Scholes
3. Lampard
4. Silva
5. Gerrard
6. Fabregas
7. Yaya Toure
8. Vieira
9. Kean
10. Alonso
11. Makelele
How the greatest midfielder of PL in ur eyes, has NEVER won a premier league and someone like scholes who won 11 pl is 3rd🤣🤣😂😂😂 this agenda against United is crazy!!!
KDB #1 without question
well it's not without question. he's top 2 without question for sure, but him vs Gerrard is very debatable. I still have Gerrard ahead because he was so complete
Steven Gerrard ❤👑
I am an Arsenal fan but having Ozil over Silva is one of the dumbest takes I have ever heard. Ozil's peak is better than Silva's peak talent-wise but in the Premier League Silva's legacy is WAY more solidified than Ozil's.
Cesc Fabregas is criminally underrated. He is better than Silva, Scholes and Yaya. The guy gave his prime to Barca and yet have more assist than all of them above him in the list. He has also had 6 seasons with 10+ assists, showing how consistent he really were.
It's Gerrard - can do anything that anyone else can do - pass like Kevin, score like lampard, run a game like scholes and defend like Keane and Viera
It's Gerrard as no.1 and I don't even see it as a debate personally 😂
GERRARD COULD HAVE PLAYED ANY POSITION IN A TEAM
finally someone here with good knowledge!
Roy keane whose only skill was kicking people above the magician that David Silva was is absolutely criminal
Nieve is great like always, you can agree with her or not but there is always thinking behind her logic. But where do you find guys like this one today, either they are fanboys of their club, have no knowledge of football or both
Stevie G. He had to carry the whole team.
Can't carry team for epl for many years 😮
Carry to where? Lmao
To Demba Ba @@madeupstory9510
Carry to what in the league 2nd once
@@jord27s great ball knowledge! he came 2nd three times
these two guys have real ball knowledge steve g should be at the top, he was a complete defender, kdb can't defend he is only good on the attack but steve g was god, a complete out and out midfielder
KDB is actually quite good defensively as well, and attacking wise he is miles better than Gerrard
Crazy how people comment before finishing the video
Remember football started 1866 not 1992
This lot don’t seem to think it existed in the 90s let alone football league history.
Top 10 in PREMIER LEAGUE history. aka in the history of a league which was founded in 1992...
@@muhdnabil3256may be some people thought EPL started in the 19th century 😂😂
Look at the age of that guy and girl. At most that guy is 36 and the girl is less than 30. So none of them watched or could understand football until maybe 97-98. For the girl maybe from 2006-7
David Silva is BETTER than Lampard, Stevie whatever and any English Midfielder 😂
