Just how good is he?

this, midfielders in england need stamina and strength and speed, xavi would be ripped apart playing week by week in england

It baffles me that they won that with cahill and david luiz lol

I bet he can't do it playing for a poor side like Arsenal, he's a luxury player as proven by last season where City won the league anyway without him.

he's the best midfielder in that joke of a league

>look at modric, okay player in England,
Don't ge it twisted, he looked really good here that's why real even went for him. Players like Silva and bernando are dabbing in the EPL and they're weak chickens

they were actually good back then and this team in general had good players

luiz was still shit
>this team in general had good player
is that why they were flopping in the league the same season? Had they lost the final they would have not got a UCL spot next season. The strong minded players put in a shift in the UCL

He’s won 2 titles in a row and is at the heart of one of if not the best team in English football history.

Chelsea sat so deep in that years tournament so less chance of the defence being exposed. Luiz is a good defender when he doesn’t have time to think.

This match was 100% on Drogba and without him we would have won 3-0.

Pretending like Lampard actually did anything in that match besides getting played on the wall... pathetic!

because bayerns team was even worse. the core offensive consisted of müller (lol) and fucking gomez. In the defensive line you have tymoschuk and fucking contento (!!!)

Football today is of much higher quality than it was back then. Comparing them is stupid since people like Scholes and Gerrard would look Championship tier next to KDB.
It might have been more attractive and exciting but certainly not more effective football

Low IQ. Lampard played well and was phenomenal in their UCL run. Also Mata was great in the final too.

Suck my dick, Robben is a choke artist

This (me) is right

>consisted of müller (lol) and fucking gomez.
>slandering players round their peak form
????

Paul Scholes is better

?
You're forgetting prime Ribery, Robben, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Boateng & Neuer. Plus a young Kroos.

Chelsea's standouts were Drogba, Lampard, Mata, Cole in that order.

Gary Cahill is like a god in a deep block. Throws himself at absolutely anything

Gomez scored 40 goals that season lmao

I don’t think football is better now. How many absolute top class players are there at the moment barring the obvious two?

Lampard just happens to be the greatest goalscoring midfielder of all time

Defending in football has fallen off a cliff

The Belgian Rob Lee

Football peaked in 2013

I think if you put some great team from 2005 against Man City now the 2005 team will get battered like Watford.
Football hasn't gotten better to watch or not even individual play gotten much better but teams got a lot smarter. Risk taking is being reduced, ball loss prevented, etc

05 chelsea would absolutely destroy man city.

Yes just as i suspected, a british with tiny micropenis. Go enjoy your BLACKED porn fucking stupid

not really, this city team got exposed by norwich
He's right as well

based

>but never shone as brightly
Lampard outscored the striker most seasons

>rating eplel players
reminder that erikesen racked up 26 g/a last season, and reached the cl final, and top clubs still didn't think he was good eoungh. this cross spaming robot will be forgotten in no time.

De Bruyne is the best attacking midfielder the premier league has ever seen. He reads the game, has pace and can pick out a pass in a split second and deliver the ball into a scoring position with pinpoint accuracy before the other team can react.

I've been watching the premiership since Cantona era around 1992. Cantona was a forward btw. Nobody comes close to De Bruynes all round game and consistency. He's world class. I'm more a fan of Cantona though. My childhood hero. Christiano Ronaldo was obviously devastatingly good at singlehandedly destroying a defence and scoring goals. Compared to Lampard or Gerard, De Bruyne is on another level. They were good midfielders. He's elite world class.

He is better than Riquelme, his only defect is being injury prone

Didn't Ronaldo play the majority of his career with United in midfield? What was his goal per game ratio? Blows Lamtard out of the water son.

7 Germans vs 2 English (1 nigger)

Gary Cahill is only a quarter nigger through his Irish gran

No they wouldnt

Maybe this is why Bayern lost... germans are really bad at playing the football...

We should sign some english players like Dortmund did with Sancho. That would promise success.

Also post yfw face when a black english kid is best player in the german farmers league
>tfw racist btfo

Nah, ramires was better tbqph

still not as good as ozil when you consider what ozil has had to deal with

you must be a fucking zoomer who started watching footy like 3 years ago...

>bosingwa
That unobrow gobliono

good but hes no JLingz

>midfielders just look better in la liga because they get more time
Objectively wrong

meanwhile atletico bought trippier just for him to spam crosses lol

The only reason City bought him is because he destroyed the Bundesliga playing for Wolfsburg, you fucking zoomer.
>arsenal is a poor side
Their attacking players are top tier, KDB would be just fine at Arsenal.

They did shit in the league because they were playing like shit on purpose to get a new manager.

>le deflected goal from edge of the box man
Ok
