Leicester is nowhere near how good Napoli were with Maradona. You get Serie A fans tell you that napoli actually had other great players too. Leicester are full of players from championship or outcasts. Mahrez is doing something special with them. Winning matches after matches. What he is doing with Leicester is a lot more credible and should be applauded more than Maradona's season with Napoli

Another win for Leicester away to Watford who have rarely lost at home and all because of Mahrez.

Should be POTY and should be credited as high as Maradona was in that season.

I am NOT saying he is better than Maradona at all. But his season with Leicester is better than maradona's with Napoli

Agreed.

without a shadow of doubt

Maradonapoli is probably the biggest myth in football history.

Completely agree, for starters he's doing in the best league in the world and not some 2nd rate garbage and at least Napoli had some international level players.

Who does Leicester have? Danny Simpson and Wes Morgan ?

Should go down in history as one of the biggest one man shows of all time.

I have to admit, its a damn lot harder. Maradonna might have had better opponents, but he better players to work with. Put Maradonna in Mahrez's place and lets see if he feeds the likes of Vardy and Albrighton week in, week out. Let alone win the league.

Yes because Leicester don't have the top scorer of PL and best performing DM in PL right? Its only Mahrez that is carrying them

Spoiler:

Not hard to be best performing DM when you have a winger who can carry the ball for long periods at a time to relieve pressure.

Also everyone knows than Vardy is a non league level scrub having the best year of his career being fed by the best one man show of all time.

Like the Higuain/Maradona "debate", unless Leceister win the EPL, this would be a rather amusing statement. For the very least, could have waited till they actually win.

That being said, Leceister would leapfrog Super Depor in my own rank which I found to be a bigger accomplishment than Maradona's Napoli winning Serie A back then. So that should say something...

Sooner people start thinking about it the more they will agree with it when they do win it

Difference is the Premier League is absolutely garbage. Competition is Louis van Gaal's red army, Wenger's bottle boys and Tottenham (who are so irrelevant I can't even bother to give them a nickname). Napoli were competing against Sacchi's Milan, Platini's Juventus etc. Milan won back-to-back Champions Leagues in that era and Juventus also won the Champions League in 85. English clubs in this era can't even get past the round of 16.

It's a huge achievement if they do it but the league is lacking so much quality it almost spoils the whole thing. Premier League is what Bundesliga was a few years ago before Bayern became elite and random teams like Stuttgart went from 9th place to title winners or Hertha from 4th place to relegation. Unless they also stay competitive next seasons it's just a statistical outliner like Chelsea's current shit season.

Oh, and of course Mahrez is producing nowhere near Maradona's football.

Oh ffs can't you be hyped by anything,Anything?

At least we put the " Ozil is more deserving of POTY " talk to rest .

Till we win the league anyways (:

I know someone has got to fill the void since Gil's disappearing act but pls, let's take it slow. RG just went balls deep without warning. GL can't handle this. Let's be a bit more gentle first.

Harmonica can you please debunk this?

I think my Gif debunks it tbh, even the worse PL sides today wouldn't allow what the great Milan allowed to happen

The past

That was the most telegraphed offside " trap " i've seen .

For sure. Aston Villa's defending today was amazing. EPL best league in the world. Anyone who debates that is stupid. Leicester will win CL next year 100% with City, Tott and Arsenal in the semis.

Ridiculous thread.

Not the first ridiculous thread to be created by RG lately either.

Edit: Not sure whether ridiculously stupid, or ridiculously clever though, what with 'credible' being the opposite of incredible.
Probably just a random mistake though.

On topic I'm fully with futbol here.

Mahrez tops my this season's Overrated Top 3, with Pochettini in 2nd place and the 3rd is... err... I can't remember the 3rd.

Oops.

De Gea

EDIT: don't thnx

The mad

As awful as Villa are there is no chance they allow the most dangerous man on the pitch that much space. Fact is with each generation teams and managers learn and adapt, even Guardiola's Barca team wouldn't be as successful today.

Just funny how much people gush over the past when there's just as many faults from a tactical and technical point of view as there is today.
