DEBATE: Our ALL TIME Premier League XI

Mickey mount

@@renerowe14715 i can’t believe he said roy keane an Lampard were better

Shearer... for Newcastle, most of his time there they were a mid table unit. How can you leave him out!!!!! Most Prem goals ever! If he had played for united he would of scored well over 300... I'm sorry but Shearer is the best No9 in premiership era.

De gea!!!

Just started the video and ain’t no fucking way he said that 😭 I’ll be back…

​@@Conker66 Mate he also said KDB definitely doesn't get in the team because he's not technical like Gerrard or Lamps 😂😂, and Rooney was better than Thierry Henry.

Ade loves the misfits boxing pantomime 😂

Haven’t watched the vid yet but I mean if you’re not talking prem only it’s a debate. Don’t forget Pogba was intrumental to Frances wc and won like 4 scudetto and got to cl final w Juve. Ability wise Pogba is up there w the best

@@mattiasedlund5395it’s not a debate. scudetto and CL finals doesn’t make you KDB level

As a man United fan have to agree with you😂 best midfielder in premier league history and I grew up in the scholes lampard gerrard era.

recency bias at its finest take him out of the most expensive team to have ever been assembled and replace him with gerrard scholes or lamps and they embarrass not only his numbers but importance on the pitch

@@Max-kx9wydid u not see when he was at Wolfsburg

@@Max-kx9wy 1. Factually it’s just not the most expensive team ever assembled with Chelsea and Man Utd outspending city in the last 7 years since pep came. Also inflation of not just transfer fees but revenue so u can’t truly tell if older teams were more expensive. 2 kinda proves my point more that in these Pep super teams Aguero, Silvia, Yaya, Rodri, Haaland and KDB has been the best player… Shows how Unreal he actually is. 3. The 4 are All completely different and offer different qualities. Scholes could control a game, slow it down speed it up. Passing was unbelievable and scored more than a couple important goals to win Man Utd trophies. Lampard was very good player id argue out of the 3 you mention the best…goals, assists and turned up to win his team silverware (also I’m basing this off my opinion and eye test of who I prefer). Gerrard was an unbelievable player but…let’s not act like he didn’t play with unbelievable players cause this is a fake narrative. Kuyt, Xavi Alonso, Torres, Suarez, at the time Sturridge, coutinho, Sterling, 2009 and 2013 could ans probably should have won the league. Gerrard was a great player, but name me apart from tackling one attribute Gerard was better than KDB at and I’ll concede…but u can’t 👑

His level of competition is so low. Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes, Viera etc all competed against each other. De bruyne is competing against Jordan Henderson and granit Xhaka 😂 Only real competition he has was Kante who was injured a lot and he lost to him and got taken off in the game that mattered most and Kante came out on top

na zola or hazard mate, de bruyne would be 3rd if anything

Yes 100%

They give too much respect to the english guys ,because they're english.KDB is the best midfielder of the current ERA.They literally said the English national team we're the best players ,but not really they were overrated af.

@@MrFirFI KDB is in the conversation with Xavi Iniesta Zidane Mordric as being the GOAT midfielder yet he worse than all the names mentioned. Plus PAUL POGBA the most overrated player in history.

I'm a United fan, KDB is the Greatest midfielder in PL history, it's not even close. What I find crazy is they've got 0 Man City players in their PL XI, Man City have won 7 titles in 11 years 😂😂. No Walker, KDB and barely a mention about David Silva, Yaya and Aguero is crazy

Nah. Most of City fans have been watching football since 2011 so there’s a recency bias. There have been many midfielders better than KDB. Good player but needs to have more years at the top to make the list but then he is 30 already

Saying somebody is an elite player and in the conversation for best pl players ever isn’t disrespecting them.

By your logic, Alvarez for City is one of the greatest ever players because he was won everything. The reason he's not even close to the 11 in the video is not what his teams have done, but him individually. Gerrard individually was immense, his team however was shit (except in 2005). And I'm saying that as a Liverpool fan

he's probably better in attack then walker ngl walker can be useless least neville could put a good cross in

Nah Neville wasn’t that good and was slightly overrated. No top club wanted him back in the time and he wasn’t good going forward. For a decade (2000-2010) there was a void of good right backs in league. He can belittle himself or do whatever but even back then I never thought he was anything special.

​@@ANG-dw9zqI agree

@@ANG-dw9zqexcuses excuses excuses

@@Deathmare235 never flopped anywhere, this bs argument people perpetuated cause he was a 90m pound player, when we have routinely seen that no one apart from Mbappe that has had a massive price tag has ever lived up to it. Issues at United and never building the team around Pogba was the reason his time at United didn't turn out the way it could and should have with his talent. As for France, give me a break. Dude was top 3 most crucial players for France, and did everything that was required of him and more. While you can argue he didn't meet expectations at United (and how could he given how delusional they were), you can't doubt his quality any time he was with France!

KDB definitely, and whilst I’d personally go Salah, I wouldn’t disagree with someone choosing Beckham instead

​​@@dannymccrea9642yep. becks are better. heck I would have Mahrez before Salah to service cr7. I hope after salah retires people will realize that mane not Salah is the Man that won lfc their pl and cl

@@asruluveiraSalah is easily the best winger in prem history

The disrespect Salah gets is unreal. Unbelievable player.

No he wasn't. He wasn't as good as Rio or prime VVD, especially prime VVD was a whole different animal. I think Maldini said he was the most complete defender he's ever seen, Michael Owen said the same too

Many would disagree with you but that's not the point. When you are one of the very few centre backs to have ever been made PFA player of the year in modern history, when Roy Keane says you are one of the best players he ever played with along with Ince and Scholes, when millions of irishmen put you ahead of Roy Keane - well the point I'm making is you deserve a mention.

Michael Owen robbed

Gets a mention but isn’t top 3 mate

Henry, Rooney, Aguero, Shearer were better than Kane. Not worth mentioning when talking about all time prem strikers tbh.

@@billycole7419 Bro, you can think Rooney is a better player than Kane, fair enough. But theres no statistical evidence proving your claim Rooney is a better striker. Rooney has never won a single golden boot in his entire career in the prem, meanwhile Kane has 3. Kane also has 213 goals in 320 games for tottenham; Rooney has 208 goals in 491 games for a team that essentially dominated Britain for several years. There's no proof in saying Rooney is a better striker than Kane. Also, idk why you're so willing to write off Kane compared to Shearer and Aguero. He has the same goal to game ratio as Aguero whilst playing for a significantly inferior team, whilst also having only won 1 golden boot compared to Kane's 3. And Kane also has a 0.10 better goal to game ratio than Shearer. I dont know what you're looking at to hypothesise that Kane is not worth talking about in the all time best convo. Thierry Henry is the only one you mentioned who is defo above Kane as a striker. The rest though have no backing statistically in proving your claims.

@@donegal7 biggest yapper on the internet mate🥱Kane played in a team where he was the main target man whereas in that United side Rooney was along side many top players capable of slotting goals away. your argument is statistics… there’s something called the eye test and if you genuinely think Kane is a better striker than Rooney then you’ve clearly suffered a knock to the head

@@Achysx So essentially, goal scoring just doesn't matter then? So Kane scoring significantly more goals than Rooney throughout his whole career means what then? So your test for being a better striker is literally 1.) if you play for a very good team 2.) you score a considerable amount of goals, then you are automatically a better striker than someone? Just so you know buddy, a striker's job is to do none other than score goals. Thats why I highlighted that people have every right to say Rooney is a better player, cos he compensated Ronaldo's lack of tracking back, for example; and he was instrumental in that regard. But just cos he had a team of superstars around him that doesn't make him an undisputed better striker than Kane. Stats are important for a striker, and are if anything the only position that show some consistency with watching them play. Even when Rooney played purely as a striker he only scored 0.46 goals per game, which is actually pretty tragic compared to Kane's and Aguero's and Shearer's etc. Now you can spin it all you like that Rooney was a 'tArGeT mAn'. But I want a goalscorer as my STRIKER; a guy who scorers a lot of goals. The statistics, which are very very valuable in this regard, do not lie. So before calling me a 'yapper' why don't you analyse your argument more, rather than just saying 'kane was the main man'; completely disregarding players like Son during his tenure at Tottenham.

Becks wouldn’t make the squad. In fact, he wouldn’t make the reserves or the third team squads. Great crosser and free kick taker but nothing more.

KDB is nowhere near Zidane. And hasn't done it at international level, like Xavi and Iniesta. Quite a way to go at European level as well.

@@beatonthedonis You're comparing Spain, who arguably had the greatest generation internationally to Belgium?

@@pfft5795 Belgium have had a tremendous generation of players. Not as good as Spain 2008-12, but good enough for a player like KDB to shine.

@@beatonthedonis and he did, if you look it up, it's Lukaku being wasteful, Hazard has also been abysmal, but he could still sneak into an all time PL 11. Reality is, KDB is up there with the greats. Both Lampard and Gerrard were part of England's golden generation and they achieved about as much as KDB did with Belgium. It's about time people put their bias aside and realise that KDB will go down as one of the greats.

@@pfft5795 I definitely think KDB is on a par with Gerard and Lampard (maybe even better).

I watched and loved Torres. I remember the day he signed He was nowhere near Suarez and Salah levela

The injury ruined Torres and he was never that good to begin with.

Lol, how did he ruin his legacy? He just chose winning Euros and World cups with Spain and played through pain to ensure it happened. 2x Euros and a World Cup + everything else he won at club level is a pretty decent legacy.

​@@stonedvillain79Tarnished is maybe a better word

Why you saying hazard like he’s no a premier league great😂

@@xpds5543 Definitely.I’m surprised Rory didn’t go with Cech James, Lebouef, Terry, Cole, lampard, Kante, Hazard, Zola, Robben, Drogba. I mean 5 players from Chelsea is clearly not enough.

​@@fodellci was going to watch the video but i said "you know what, lets see if there is any controversy" and my god i don't think I'll watch this video after all this is outrageous 😂😂

It is Premier League XI for a reason and not World XI or International XI.

Well, it is called EPL All-time 11..yet you are talking of international tournaments. And then, you are talking of EPL being weaker. Its actually weaker now more than ever. It's just City alone with no one else. Do you know what EPL was like between 1998-2008?? Wenger's Arsenal, Mourinho's Chelsea, and Fergie's United. This was the era that sold EPL to the world and the competition was like nothing ever seen. Lads be thinking EPL is competitive now, yet the competition is at the bottom and around 4th-7th. EPL is very weak over the last decade, and thats why even Leicester managed to pull a miracle. People would throw in Klopp's Liverpool, but it baffles me how that so called great team has won one EPL title since Klopp arrived in 2014. Thats a decade with only one title. Lol.

Nothing biased about that comment mate. A few mentions though, and rightly so. Walker and KDB are in my squad. Yaya, silva, aguero, konpany all have MASSIVE claims to be in there too

City is like Madrid. They dont stick with players to cement the legacy. You are used at your peak and dumped for the next hot thing. Yaya was almost getting into this 11 until Pep arrived. Walker has been rotated and benched and all sort of everything under Pep. Even the just won Treble there was a time he was being benched. Silva and Kompany are great shouts, but whoever they are rivalling in the midfield are absolute monsters PL legends that played for over a decade at top level. KDB is the only serious candidate given that he is the only iconic number 10 PL has ever seen. But again, KDB is just pure talent and not all rounded. I would love to have KDB in the team, but the problem is "over who though?" Gerrard and Lampard and Viera. Gerrard is undisputed. KDB cant play 6 like Viera. So KDB can only replace Lampard. But Lampard numbers are ridiculuous.
