You seem a really nice guy but I really am floored when I see mental opinions like this. In multiple facets.

Tremendous post in general, though obviously Zidane done a lot more in his career outside moments than Bierhoff did (not saying Bierhoff wasn't a good striker). Zidane just has magic that is transcendent. In his case, consistency, goals and assists don't really apply. Like Ronaldinho...

True. I rate them extremely highly but I was reading reddit a few months ago (I know, mostly teenage Americans new to football, sorry, soccer) and they were disrespecting Hagi a lot. Even Neymar himself didn't know who he was. And lots of legends are forgotten like that. Their legacies are more...

Think I was too hard on him in other threads. He was brilliant and I am being anal going on about his poor performances in the CL. I still don't think he's a top ten player ever, or the third best player of the 21st century, or silly stuff like that. But that speaks more to the geniuses he is...

One thing is certain - he is likely now the most hated man in Anfield. Knowing what their fans are like. I wouldn't be surprised if they boo him next time he plays.

Yeah, he's good but think he might struggle there (relatively speaking). He's another ego.

Like Luke Shaw, he's another talented player who's up and down with injuries.

Yeah I thought that when I was writing it. Mount seemed to only become injury prone when he went to United. He played loads in London. A lot of players do that at United. Their medical staff seem to leave a lot to be desired, but that doesn't account for Luke Shaw being injured constantly...

True, you're right. But imagine if Stoitchkov was Catalan like Pep and others, he'd have come through the academy. But the more pertinent point I was making is that if Hagi was Brazilian and not Romanian (for instance) He'd be rated a lot higher in the year 2025. Cos he was a genius. Ditto...

Many of those guys (not all) are frauds and grifters who don't know anything. They talk basic stuff about tactics to make money and gain followers. They know calling him that will get them clicks and likes (former because it's controversial, latter from Trent's fans). I don't think someone...

'Best fullback of all time' is fucking insane, and I rate him more than some. Who's saying that Monte? Is it anyone legit and serious or some Scouse loons? I wish RAWK wasn't locked down. I bet the meltdown over this is epic on there.

Bring back club football for fuck sake. Nations League is so pointless. I don't know why but it just does not arouse me.

Fair enough, mate. I'd agree, with the caveat that I might have the aforementioned nostalgia goggles on for Zidane. I am a massive fan of Xavi, Iniesta and Modric too though. By the way, I too can't choose between the two Argentine wizards.

Did you watch he and prime R9 in the 90s too mate? I know you, me and most of the other guys here are old enough to have watched them in their prime. There was something special about Zizou. It's a shame people always argue about he and Iniesta, because Iniesta is very stylistically close to...

Good discussion, both making nice points.

Gave you a like because while I agree with some stuff and disagree with others, it's an intelligent and well-though out opinion. Bold is true, or Stojkovic, Hagi, Stoitchkov even. Plus if these guys were from big countries they wouldn't have had to 'adapt' by moving to big leagues. I always...

Normally I agree with most of you guys on everything, but I watched peak Zidane and he was sensational. I do believe he is one of the greatest players ever/ It could be nostalgia goggles as I watched with awe the night in summer 1998 as an impressionable just turned 16-year-old, as he scored two...

Hhaahaha yeah mate. I easily weigh more than that and I am SIGNIFICANTLY shorter than you. Though I am a mix of fat, stocky and wide frame.

It's a big change. Their players used to hardly go abroad at the height of the PL boom in the 90s and 2000s. It does them good to experience other cultures and football. Makes it less homogeneous.

Dier's a defender now isn't he. Has he played in defensive midfield for Bayern? I know he played there when younger but figured he was a full-time centre-half now. Though maybe you're just doing what you can to fit players in, hypothetically. Because you have Kyle LB too.
