Not even close

Don't get me wrong there have been some periods in games where I've seen City score some unreal team goals, but I could also show a similar amount this season from Arsenal. I don't think of this team as something special and 5+ years from now people won't look back and say 'remember that 2017-18 City team?'

They're the best of an average bunch this season. Can't believe I was hyping up the GOAT league and expecting us to have 3 teams in the CL semis ffs (dont deport me)

Based on that logic there's been about 5 good teams in the history of the PL tbh.

let billy bob watch his nascar

did I say they weren't good? if I did that's certainly an exaggeration on my part. They've definitely been good..I just seem them placed on a pedestal as a special team..I'm repeating myself, but yeah, I don't see them as that.

Do you think we'll look back 5 years from now and remember this City team? srs question. You yourself have said that this United squad should be far closer to City and would under a better manager.

Chelsea and Arsenal have looked atrocious this season. far under their usual level. Spurs are just perennial bottlers. Loserpool look good thanks to Egyptian Messi but were inconsistent first half of the season. We have a coward managing us.

the usual suspects just haven't been there to apply pressure this season, that's on them not City but maybe if City walked the league while other teams looked good I'd rate them higher though I guess, coupled with the fact they haven't looked great in Europe.

Only a couple of teams have played against City like they weren't already defeated before the start of the game IMO.

Liverpool and Wigan and both beat them

Eh? they've been great in Europe before Liverpool lol.

The competition in the PL has been shite for like a decade and as i said if you are basing your argument around will you remember this team in 5 years? there's been about 5 teams in the history of the PL that's any good based on that spectrum.

Basically you are being overly negative, they can still hit 100+ points i don't particularly care about all this but no team who can realistically hit that in April is a little better than the picture you're painting tbh.

Dele Alli contributing to more goals/min than De Bruyne, Eriksen, Silva

but I thought he was shit and overrated

he is, he's a glorified striker and a shite one at that IMO

others have way more to their games and importance to their teams

@nish just making sure unique knows his place tbh

Alli isn't a striker, He's more of a completely forward Lampard type player. Once in a generation specific skills kinda lad but he needs a system to succeed with his style of play and Spurs offer that.

He really needs to cut out the scummy part if he underperforms though.

curious as to what Firmino's G/A to minute stats are :hmm

That's disrespect to Lampard imo( i don't think you intended that though) he was a complete midfielder who could control a game.

Nah, Lampard could play anywhere in the midfield competently, great passer/crosser/longballs etc

Alli is a tap-in merchant, he's like a shit Firmino IMO except dirtier..he doesn't have nearly enough to his game IMO to compare him to a Lampard type

Firenze wrote:he is, he's a glorified striker and a shite one at that IMO

Ah yeah I mean I agree all those others are much better and have a lot more to their games. All of them have at least 3-5 years on him though.

Dele's production as an AM/SS is fantastic, I can agree that he's still developing an overall game, but all of the stats show that Dele is a special player. As many goals+assists as Hazard in first 100 games. Contributing more goals/min than KDB, Eriksen, Silva this season aint no joke either. Don't want to hear people talking about him like he's some jabroni

Kid is special, he's immature and still growing as a footballer, but he's a special player. Even with his regression this year goalscoring wise, he's taken it upon himself to become more of a creator, and he's done really well, currently 3rd in the assist column in the league. People have talked about his form this year, his lack of goalscoring, but I think he's improved as a footballer this year, even if his performances have been frustrating at times, because he's adding more to his game.

don't need CB coming at me, so I'm not gonna say Alli is complete crap..but I think Spurs could replace him with numerous decent players out there and be just fine..take the other players RG mentioned out of their teams and it's a diff story

Spurs should sign Fekir this summer.

Alli does tend to step up in the big games though, can't fault him for that. Ruined Madrid and Chelsea this season.

FirmiGOD doesnt need y'all.

Firmino has a Goal/Assist ratio in 108 mins acc to FPL. Its fake because I think firmino has much more assists than what FPL credits him with.

Ramsey has played 900 mins lesser than Firmino.

Disagree tbh @ Firenze

Can't come at you atm though cuz I got too much work to do, so anyone on GL could say anything or @ me, I'm probably pretty unresponsive for the time being

ruined Liverpool too. Monster performance against Pool at home

Just meant he offers something Lampard only offered in the box but maybe better because Alli is younger. Lampard is a legend and Alli is nowhere close to his complete game but in terms of scoring, He's the closest brexit match I can find.

Deeney could be a poor mans Alli imo

I'm def being harsh on Alli because I disagree with how he's hyped here as some elite player (here as in England not GL) and you know on GL you're either elite or shite. He's good. Not great.
