DEBATE: Who Is The GOAT Midfielder? (Ft Zidane, Iniesta, Gerrard etc) | GOAT Bracket 

We need Micah Richards on SDS would be hilarious to watch and will attract more eyes to the show

The energy on this vid was so good 🤣🤣 Just wish Ilyas was there, him and Liban is an unbeaten combo

Previously commented this on an older video but was told to comment it again in case they did not see. Idea for a video: Since there are now 9 players on the bench in the prem, plus the 11 starters, that's a total of 20. The goal would be to build a lineup by taking one player from each team. Ideally, you have a backup goalie and at least 2 defenders, 2 mids and 2 forwards on the bench to make it realistic. You can wait until after the transfer window but I think it would be an interesting video!

Faisal knows ball. Yaya was better than Fabregas. Prime Yaya is one of the most complete footballers ever. People forget a few players for Barca got injured before the 2009 CL final and Yaya started CB and marked Rooney out the game.

This was defo a sick idea I think you should do it with centre half’s or even like another concept of the game like a big game player tournament

Pirlo was talked about well here, but I still think he deserved more in this tourney

one of my favorite SDS videos i’ve ever seen keep it up sharky, this was class

I can’t believe that they went with Lampard over Pirlo. Pirlo is clear, the prem bias is insane

they are saying Vieira won the World Cup in 1998 but he started one game and it was the last game in the group stage and didn't play again until the final as a substitute after the game was decided

I agreed with all of Faysals selections tbh, his Yaya > Cesc points was spot on

Faysal knows ball, Kdb is top 3 in the prem.

Gerrard's undying loyalty was his downfall. If he agreed to go to Manchester, Chelsea or Madrid he'd be held in much higher regard. Single handedly made Liverpool a consistent top 4 team challenging for the title, winning domestic trophies and reaching UCL finals with players like Sinama Pongolle and Djimi Traore in the team. Outside of England, Gerrard is considered the best talent the country has ever produced. If you don't believe me, google what the greats have said about his ability. Alarmingly underrated in the UK.

Fabregas 09/10 in only 27 games got 15 goals and 15 assists for a team that still finished 11 points off top he’s up there with the very best. All comps that year 39 goals and assists in 37 games if he hadn’t got injured he could’ve actually won Arsenal the league that year and still hold the record for most PL goal involvements in a season that’s how good he was. And that Messi year of 90+ goals how many assists were down to Cesc? A lot.

Faysal easily has the most ball knowledge

Sharky you gotta try to get an ex pro on for a video like Rio, Evra, Carra or Neville. Im sure SDS has the pull to get one of them on.

The disrespect on David silva I know xavi is better but he was so cold , imo most underrated player in pl history

Not gonna lie, the Pirlo vs Lampard one and the Kante vs Viera got me tough😭 I'm out here punching the air you didn't choose Kante and Pirlo

The best one to do next I think it’s best teams, like 2015 Barcelona vs 2019 Liverpool, 6 trophies Barcelona(2009) vs 3 UCL in a row Madrid, etc

Sharky’s Arsenal bias is so outrageous in these videos

3:13 Nah, wrong. The absolute disrespect on Wazza. Rooney has 200+ goals and 100+ assists in the Premier League. I'm surprised Sharky forgot about the player that's scored the most goals against Arsenal in Premier League history.

In a team full of superstars like RM and France, Zidane would son all those players. If Iniesta and Zidane played in the same team, all plays would be going thru Zizou lets be honest. Iniesta looks up to him!

No way Iniesta ahead of Zidane. I’ve never seen a midfield control the game like Zidane, was as clutch as Zidane and play two beautifully. To me it’s not even a debate, I would pick Zizou all day long.

This Gerrard disrespect in disgusting lol. Get every single name on this list & compare the teams they played in & compare the workload they had, no player in history had to carry his team more than Gerrard, the most complete midfielder of all time. Busquets, Iniesta & Xavi all played together and I think that needs to be taken into account more, not to mention they literally had Messi scoring 91 goals in a year…makes winning a lot easier.

😂😂😂😂love todays podcast 😂 “get that brother out of here “

the fact that the midfielder with the most assist than xavi, iniesta, zidan , all of the others is not even on that list is disrespect.... Mesut Ozil!!!!!!!

Yaya in his prime was untouchable!! He can do it in both ends score goals and help team defend

Busquets over Gerrard is genuinely one of the worst footballing opinions I have ever seen, that is criminal.

The series should be called “GET THAT BRUDDA OUTTA HERE”

SUGA SHAUN IS NEEDED FOR NEXT EPISODE TO TALK BOUT THAT LEEDS MASTERCLASS!!!

Prime kante is clear of almost anyone, viera was incredible but ngolo on his day is mental

Ozil and Kroos deserve to be in this debate. Ozil vs Kroos, Ozil vs Fabregas, Ozil vs Silva, Ozil vs Kante, Kroos Vs Gerrard, Kroos Vs Kante, Kroos Vs Viera and Kroos Vs Lampard would've all made for a good debate. Thomas Muller and Xabi Alonso also deserve a shout out.

Wonderful! *DO THIS AGAIN!!!!*

Lamps’ assist to Drogba is still arguably top 3 assists in prem history imo, 20-30m outside of the boot curl perfectly to the feet. Pure filth

Love the concept, do all the match ups first though and show the graphics, then discuss

this list once again proves how underrated muller actually is

SDS posting on a Sunday?? loving's it

This was the funniest episode please keep them coming great content. Matter fact do wingers next but dont include messi or ronaldo

It was one of the best episode so far Until you pick iniesta over zidan Never iniesta over zidan never Zaidn was the only good player in most teams he played with He never played with teams with 10 other best players like iniesta imagine zidan insted of iniesta in that barca team 🤔🤔 ya ty Get iniesta out of her 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

Faysal knows ball

never iniesta was capable of doing what zidane was doing. technique, tactic, physique, offense, defense... he was better in everything

This video was fuckin elite omd, yall are fuckin hilarious and have amazing debates. Best pod in the world still, not even close!!!

25:47 the way Leban reacted to Sharky’s claim was perfect haha

Faysal carried this show. KDB is easily top3 ever

Drinkwater didn’t take the league with him, Leicester won it in 15/16, Kante won it with Chelsea 16/17, and Drinkwater joined in 17/18. Kante is ahead of Viera, 2 league titles (invincibles is cool but to win the league with a relegation side is unheard of), a world cup, and a UCL puts him ahead of Viera.

Great Debate lads! Pls do this again with other positions

One of the funniest episodes ngl 💀

This is the best video i have ever seen 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥 we need more of these videos for Goalkeepers, defenders and forwards.

Xabi Alonso was consistently in the Spanish starting XI during their period of dominance, whilst Fabregas was either a back-up, or played out of position, yet Fabregas gets in ahead of Alonso? Alonso was part of R.Sociedad's team that got their highest ever points tally in their history (whilst he was their captain at 20), was part of R.Madrid's greatest ever points tally, and part of Liverpool's greatest points tally until it was broken in 2019. How on earth is Fabregas ahead of Alonso? Alonso should even be ahead of Silva.

this is the best SDS vid of all time 100%...please do more of this

Crazy how players like seedorf and Ozil weren’t in this but fabregas and David silva were (no disrespect to them)

Leeban looks like Marty from Madagascar when he drinks water lol

Faysal remontada season, carry season

Fabregas vs toure - toure Kaka vs scholes - kaka Kdb vs iniesta - iniesta Vieira vs kante - vieira Pirlo vs lampard - pirlo Gerrard vs busquets - busquets Xavi vs david silva - xavi Modric vs zidane - zidane Toure vs kaka - kaka Iniesa vs vieira - iniesta Pirlo vs busquets - pirlo Xavi vs zidane - zidane Kaka vs iniesta - iniesta Pirlo vs zidane - zidane Iniesra vs zidane Zidane🏆

I'm a Chelsea fan. When I saw Viera vs Kante I instantly got nostalgia bias and said Viera despite my love for N'golo as a blue. But the more the conversation continued it became more and more clear that Kante is the better, and in hindsight, it's not even close

Sad to see my boy Kev get knocked so early... loved the vid tho😂🙌

I think you should include having “2 star boys” so out of all the people who got out from round 16 get voted back in and they are known as the “2 star boys”

I really liked this format to a series. Strikers will be even better

What a disgrace to yuh guys Zidan was more than a midfielder. This guys was the right definition of what midfielder is.

bro no way im halfway through this vid and the matchups are mental

People's forget how good fabregas was at Arsenal. His last season for Arsenal he was on another planet and his numbers were better than yaya. Cesc also was an elite false 9 for spain and also got into the world xi along with Pirlo and Xavi at 20 yrs age

You should do a two vs two face off. The concept is that each pair has a different league. You pick go from position to position, but before any team can pick their player the opposing team eliminates once choice. You should also have a rule in place such as maximum of two players from the same club etc and see who builds the best team. By ‘eliminating’ I mean, for example of sharky and stars have premier league and the position is cb, Faisal and leeban can eliminate van dijk so you can’t pick him.

Great video idea, hope to see more of this series Agree with iniesta winning the whole thing

This video had so much energy, loved it. GET THAT BRUDDA OUTTA HEREEEEE

Busquets prime example of a player who was so underrated for so long he’s now overrated, unanimously brushing Lampard aside for him is a horror show

aye this episode was super creative!!!

I love Iniesta but let’s put it like this when we talk about the overall GOAT, Zidane’s name pops up into the convo along with Messi, Maradona, CR7, R9, etc. He’s a 3x Fifa player of the year and also has a ballon D’Or to his name, things that Iniesta will never have.

I listened to this one on the Pod in the car but would have loved to see the video of this one considering how this convo went

Real ones know Xavi should’ve won this

I love this vid favourite sds vid yet keep it up boys👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Need more episodes like this. Strikers, managers, goal keepers, fullbacks, centrebacks, the whole lot.

Elite vid again!! SDS best football podcast worldwide. Love from Amsterdam 🔥🔥🔥

Lothar mathaus is the greatest dm of all time. Rijkaard is also clear of busquets

This video is vibess great vid SDS

40:26 They violated Gerard😂😂😂😂

Love this way you got the best midfielder. Please go for this again in another video sharky

Faysal knows ball zizou >>>

This gerrard disrespect is mad. He played in significantly weak teams all throughout his career. He has single handedly won liverpool games. He had immaculate passing, best long shots , amazing pace and defending and could even dribble well. Not to forget his leadership. One of the best players I have watched and my favourite of them all

Yaya x Cesc - Yaya - the most complete footballer to ever live, in terms of being able to do absolutely everything at the very highest level he's the best. Cesc contests this because of his passing and football iq, that shit was supernatural. Kaka x Scholes - Kaka - Kaka just because its kaka, scholes is the best mid in prem history but kaka was too special. Iniesta x Kdb - Iniesta - iniesta in terms of footballing fundamentals is the greatest footballer in history and theres really no debate hes the greatest midfielder ever. Vieira x Kante - Vieira - Everything is just so similar, vieira goalscoring probably edges this for him. Pirlo x Lampard - Pirlo - not really a convo, lampard stylistically was like bruno but just way better in every way and more consistent, however pirlo is just a different class of midfielder. 3 serie a POTY's in a row, euro 2012 2nd best player, was all brain with no physical advantage needed. Gerrard x Busquets - Busquets - obviously, although gerrard carrying that shit liverpool team deserves heavy praise. Xavi x David Silva - Xavi - footballing ability wise this is tight, but xavi wins it cause of barcelonas success and him being way more consistent. Modric x Zidane - Zidane - zidane for now, modric is the smartest and least mistake prone player to ever play. Another amazing WC campaign or another deep ucl run with him playing a critical role and he wins this. They're both just a different level to any other midfielder bar iniesta. Yaya x Kaka - Kaka Iniesta x Vieira - Iniesta Pirlo x Busquets - Pirlo Xavi x Zidane - Zidane Kaka x Iniesta - Iniesta Pirlo x Zidane - Zidane Pirlo x Kaka - Pirlo Iniesta x Zidane - Iniesta slight nitpick, could've put ronaldinho in here since kaka was also in here. But I think he would've won this too easily so fair enough.

Very good idea. Very good video. 10/10

KAKA - Of course, Lampard was pretty amazing, Scholes the classic. But I'll have GERRARD.”

this was a very good idea but at the end we know who is going to be the winner so it would be better if it was a certain concept instead of positions so we have more equal match ups.

My bias wants to say KDB but it’s iniesta imo

You guys should do this again but with another set of 16 players tbh

Putting Gerrard next to iniesta and zidane on the title is crazy 😂

This is a wavy video idea. Great innovation Sharky👊🏾

Ain’t really trippin bout Shaun not coming back…he got his own show now and so he can blossom on his own..makes sense for him too

Faysal man! As a Barcelona fan, Fabregas have been a consistent player for us, even though we have played him out of his position. Cesc Fabregas at Barcelona was very underrated! We sold him because the balance with him, Iniesta and Busquets was not right, so we needed Ivan Rakitic as his replacement. But that doesn't mean Fabregas was never a good player for us.

Day 6 of saying BRING SUGA SHAUN BACK!

Amazing vid,keep it up and do more of these pls

Real Madrid supporter here since 1996 & I’ve followed both players careers & I think no shame to name Don Andrés Iniesta as the midfielders G.O.A.T. he matches Zizou in so many departments plus Iniesta achieved more (trophy wise) won way more league titles & multiple CL also won three major international trophies unique achievement Zizou did cost his nation a WC tho.

Love u lot started watching your videos right before the euros

Where was seedorf? Better than david silva and other players on that list?? And if people say he was too early however they put zidane who started his career earlier?

Please do this for strikers. That would be a class list and great match ups

Pirlo is so underrated it’s mad

Class vid DO STRIKERS next

What is even funnier about the Zizou v Modric is who Modric's coach was during his best years

Best sds vid of all time

Iniesta literally bodied Zizou(and the rest of the midfield) in his First El Clasico. Silngle-handedly

Wolves have agreed personal terms with VfB Stuttgart's Austrian striker Sasa Kalajdzic but negotiations between the two clubs remain ongoing for the 25-year-old as the Bundesliga side want a higher transfer fee
