Premier League 18/19

How does Xhaka compare to Fred and Fellaini?

Fred looks like a Elneny level player.

Fred is a good player , but he literally had no options ahead of him so had to pass back so many times. United looked so one paced . If anyone said in 2002 both Arsenal and United's football would degrade into what we are seeing now I would have laughed.

Mendy is an unbelievable crosser of the ball.

Trust Jose to cheer me up.

Yeah I don't buy the idea that Mendy is shit.

Same here.
Great pick-me-up after the chav result.

Whoever said Mendy was shit? I'm pretty sure before his injury last season he was widely considered the best full back in the league already.

Well, Guardiola sort of: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/manchester-city-news-benjamin-mendy-pep-guardiola-style-new-dimension-want-to-kill-a8489211.html

But I agree, he's an awesome fullback. And in a team like City he can pretty much do what he wants.

goon

He’s a good attacking full back, average to poor at the back but for a team like City that doesn’t really matter much. I rarely invest a lot on fullbacks in FPL but I knew he’d be racking up points.

Clrnc

At Monaco he was already excellent in attacking. Even back at Marseille he was racking up incredible attacking stats.

Doesn't really matter if he is average in defence to be honest when he is that good.

Huddersfield were as bad as I've seen any team in the Premier League.

I will happily give City credit when it's due--they are a club that means nothing to me; not important enough to detest--but, yesterday was all about Huddersfield.

Aguero's chipped 1st goal is one of the worst goals conceded in the history of this League! 😆

It’s amazing how many of Liverpool counters lead up to Salah literally one v one against the goal keeper.

QuincyAbeyie

Liverpool didn't particularly impress me today.

VvD was incredible though. Resolute. Unbeatable on aerial duels. He’s a fantastic buy

Pogba has started talking like Mourinho. Poor kid.

Because his movement is world class.

His post match interview took a leaf out of Theo’s playbook.

We've missed out on quite a few excellent CBs that have moved up from the lesser sides inside the PL over the last 5 years.

This game(and Liverpool's defending over the last few years) serves as a good example of the difference that a commanding CB like van Dijk makes over clowns like Sakho.
