GWT: PL Matchweek Catch-Up into (mostly) MW18 & MW19

[The Abusement Park]

How many world class midfielders are there in the EPL then???

Current world class mids in the prem are:
KDB
Bruno
Thiago

Im omitting Kante, but he absolutely has the ability to get back to that level.

 

[gary69]

That's pretty bad.

It's some bad definition of World Class, I like better e.g Kicker's opinion that in some year there was only one WC player (Neuer) in the whole Bundesliga.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I think world class and elite are pretty vague terms, but I think that top 5 in your position would get you there.

That is too high of a bar. There are almost no world class players then.

 

[Evilo]

Depends on how you define ”world class”. The definition has always been vague.

True. I usually use roughly the top 10 players at their position. Only exception is fullback because depth (particularly RB) is beyond awful.

I just use players that I think wouldn’t look out of place in the best teams in the world. The players I mentioned fit that description.

IF you're Fulham, you have to run at Dier with pace right now

Partey or Rice don't step a foot on any of the top teams' starting XI.

 

[bluesfan94]

I hate that yellow card. You shouldn't be penalized for stopping a player from taking a quick free kick. If you want the ten yards, fine, ask for it.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Well yeah. World class is a super super high bar. The definition is "among the best in the world". Which would mean the top 5/10 of that position would be world class.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Such a beautiful player

 

[AB13]

Partey or Rice don't step a foot on any of the top teams' starting XI.

They absolutely do. Rice is maybe the best holding midfielder in the league.

 

[Havre]

Cross of the year.

 

[Gecklund]

They absolutely do. Rice is maybe the best holding midfielder in the league.

He is not.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Cross of the year.

He can't finish to save a drowning infant, but he can cross.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

1 goal behind Bobby Smith for 2nd all time at Spurs.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Bah! Send him to the U23's.

 

[Havre]

Football is easy. Just give the ball to Ndombele.

Spurs should have had 2.

 

[AB13]

Reguilon is the third best left back in the league when used correctly. Would only take Tierney and Robertson over him.

 

[Havre]

Definitely been better today.

 

[hatterson]

Only been watching the second half, but Fulham have been doing well, although clearly lack the final third quality.

 

[Savant]

 

[Havre]

So predictable.

Bafling how Spurs game after game will just give away points. Completely stop playing. That is on Mourinho.

 

[Havre]

Pathetic second half by Spurs.

Credit to Fulham. They actually play football unlike Spurs.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I see the Mou honeymoon phase is already over?
