Yes absolutely. I don’t get why there’s an argument, as though his bad games suddenly make 5+ seasons of 20+ goals seem irrelevant. A Prem already ended any sort of argument, but he’d be a legend even if he didn’t.

Musiala. As much as I respect Bellingham, he just won’t have the same opportunities as Musiala. Bellingham is the star of Real right now but if Mbappe comes in, Bellingham’s no.2. No-one can join Bayern and displace Musiala, he helps run the team when he plays. There’s no disrespect to either, they’ll probably both win Ballon D’Ors or Footballer of the Year awards but I just think Musiala will progress quicker to what he can do whereas with Bellingham, he’s kind of a blank canvas.

Roberto Carlos, Hulk, Ronny, Adriano and Koeman. I think I’d die if any of them properly connected. And 4/5 of them could hit me square in the arse from like 40 yards ago.

I don’t think so because for 50+ years, the best players in the world idolised teams like Madrid and joined there to be amongst their idols. Right now, there is some 8 year old kid watching Bellingham breaking all these records and he will make it and you know where he wants to go? Real Madrid because he wants to do what Jude did. You had that with De Stefano, Gento, R9, Figo, Butragueno, Sanchez, and more recently, you had that factor with CR7, Ramos, Modric, Benzema and now Vini and Jude. I don’t think any other club in the world has that ability to find a new superstar and be able to consistently build off the back of them until they can find another superstar and do that again.

Doku. That’s so unfair on Yamal, he’s not even played for a year and you comparing him to one of the best wingers in the world currently. Didn’t we learn from Fati, not to do this?

No I don’t think so. He’s a great player but him being the main is a blessing and a curse because yes, he gets 95% of chances created but at times, he can get man marked out of the game and not be able to make his own chances. E.g. vs Wolves when Craig Dawson pulled out one of the best performances of his career by limiting Haaland to 1 shot over the entire match. Messi got 92 chances not only because he also was the guy Barcelona wanted on the ball but in times when he couldn’t get on the last pass, like Haaland, he could drop deep, pick the ball up himself, create some magic by weaving in and out of players and getting a goal from nothing. Biggest problem is KDB being out because whilst Haaland can’t create magic out of nothing, KDB specialises in it and could find Haaland with his eyes closed. Losing someone like that, it’s impossible to score 92 goals.

No, they are not. You have one bad season, you don’t suddenly become a bad team, you’re just going through a bad spell. And with what’s been happening, it’s understandable. If this is happening next year with the team fully integrated and all issues from now being solved, then it will be an issue.

Dyche and Mourinho are licking their lips at this.

It’s hard to say now because a lot can change in a year. The only clubs that work don’t have the money and those with money he doesn’t work for. Many teams will remove their starters for Kylian but we don’t know who yet.

1. Get the unused players either out the door or on-loan.
2. Look for some new forwards and fullbacks.
3. Switch to playing long ball.
4. Look at getting rid of Antony, Martial, Sancho and Lindelof. I’d personally like to replace them with Malen, Kvaratshkelia, Goncalves and Simakan but as long as it’s workable, doesn’t matter who exactly.
5. Utilise the youth players more. Pellistri started against Bayern and actually played well against Davies and Bayern. I didn’t see him play anymore first team games despite this. The issues could be helped by using these players more, maybe just to relieve players who are constantly starting.

He’s not overrated, he’s just never available to play consistently to show how good he is. Before all of these injuries, saying he was going to be one of Englands best players was a given. Now, it’s a question if he ever makes the side.

Japan. Their improvement year apon year to where at one point they had one star, now they have 5 or 6 stars. I’d be surprised if they never win.

Alan Shearer. He scored all of those goals whilst getting kicked, grabbed and held back. Imagine how many he could score in the modern Newcastle side. Plus with him in the team, the owners could just buy any player to accompany him e.g. De Bruyne.

My own personal favourite - Di Maria vs Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey semi-final. He was all over Barcelona’s defence that day and he made Puyol do the splits. The only thing that ruined it for him was he missed 2 great chances that Ronaldo followed up on, because Di Maria would’ve had the hattrick. That came made me a fan of his, made me get a PSG shirt with his name on it and til this day, he is one of my most favourite players.

I haven’t seen Nedved. I shouldn’t have said his Ballon D’Or in retrospect but it’s between that and when Sneijder didn’t win it.

Pavel Nedved. Not really undeserved because he was very good, but they’re were players better than him who had achieved more e.g. Thierry Henry.

Morata.

Salah. Consistency -> talent
