USAfall2024:Where is Jude's podium finish? Kane's nko? Take note: I never called Foden the best player in the world or anything like that. I am strictly discussing his talent quantity. |

Leyqute:First, I'm not comparing it to Messi. I am showing you those numbers were not otherworldly or fantastic. So no, it was not numbers that prompted Pep to build around Messi. It was talent quantity. Messi was just too talented to be used as only a winger. I compared Foden's numbers to Jude's. Somehow one is not consistent even though his best games have come as a 10 while the other is best player in the world even though his numbers are from playing in a more advanced position- and in a significantly weaker league. |

USAfall2024:I assume you were going to make a point at the end of this but you must have forgotten to. I can point out your folly if you need me to, game? Messi was FIFA best last year 2023. Did you agree with it? |

USAfall2024:That Ajax game maybe embarrassing to you but your players called City game their worst. It was a complete humiliation. Some even say that first half is the best piece of football ever played in history. Come on. I am not saying the same would happen now. I actually respect RM. I even said City being home in the 2nd leg without away goals is my slight hope for beating you guys. |

Leyqute:16 goals and 13 assists does not justify being placed over Ronaldinho and Etoo the latter who scored more than Messi in less games. It was Pep who knew that Messi could score and assist a lot more if used rightly. He built the team around him and made sure he got the ball at moments he could do the most damage and then Messi became a 50-goal a season player. Foden has 28 G+A this season already. Same number as Jude Bellingham by the way but one of them has played as a striker for most of the season. |

forgiveness:If I tell you talent volume you start asking why Foden has not won EPL player of the season award. What is EPL player of the year if not an individual accomplishment? Again I ask, do you even understand what is being discussed? |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Android17: 11:38pm On Mar 26 |
Leyqute:Aha! Only problem is this is not true in any way. This was Messi's numbers in 2007/08 before Pep.

Bacteria8:2 things. 1. City were better than you both home and away when you won. So what will bring the PTSD? Have you not lost games to teams you were better than? 2. City did not eke out a win against RM. You were absolutely walloped. PTSD is coming from the fact that it literally looked like Men vs Boys. It was not 2-1 or 6-5. You were disgraced 5-1. Don't forget. |

Leyqute:Are we giving Messi credit for 2006 UCL? Please look at Messi's numbers in 2006 and 2007 before Pep and see if you can reconcile that with his numbers in 2008. 1 Like |

airmark:You are trying to compare ENGLAND player of the year with WORLD player (at under 17 level). Do you know how silly you sound? You're comparing how a player compares to others from his Nationality to how a player compares (not only to those from his country) but to others from other countries who were adjudged to be the best from their country. I cannot continue having conversations with such an uneducated mind. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Android17: 11:22pm On Mar 26 |
Leyqute:Messi did not show any consistency when Pep had announced that the team will be built around him. Zidane has never been consistent in his life. A manager just has to believe in a player and deploy how to maximize him by signing players that complement him and using the formation that helps said player express himself. Zlatan vs Pep issue comes to mind here. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Android17: 6:38pm On Mar 26 |
forgiveness: The discussion is talent level. Foden still has ways to go to meet Rooney's accomplishments. Let me break it down for you. By 2005 Ronaldinho was convinced that he was not the most talented player at Barca - Messi was yet Rijkaard could not see it right? Did Messi have 2 WPOTY awards or Ballon dors @ the time? No. Yet Ronaldinho knew that Messi's talent superceded his. Talent does not always correlate with accomplishments. Neymar is more talented than any version of Mbappe. But Mbappe has a world cup and looks like he will accomplish more. 1 Like |

forgiveness:What if 3 of those 5 goals came via a spot kick? Did your data show you that? How does your data account for playing that position adequately? Goals? You mean like Julian Alvarez having almost double digit assists this season playing mostly from midfield meaning he does it adequately? Critical thinking should be a major degree on its own. |

forgiveness:I hope you understand what you are responding to. Every player in the world is better than City players. Every manager is better than Pep. But a fraud manager and his overrated players keep winning all and by the end of the season again I'll be reading "how can anyone compete?". E no dey hard una. Shameless people. 2 Likes |

airmark:LOL. An award won by Kalvin Phillips and Raheem Sterling? That award? The one you can get with no recognized competition within a year - just friendlies with ninnies? But winning a world cup at U-17 for your country as the best player of the whole tournament is everything to sneeze at? LOL |

forgiveness:He cannot is what I am saying. He has to be VG (very good) enough to add it in his repertoire. Messi has scored headed goals - as has Haaland but nobody will pen it down as a "skill" they have because of its ineffectuality. Otherwise I can claim that Alvarez is also a midfielder because Pep has played him there few times. He is not because even though he may have scored a goal or 2 playing from there- he does not play it very well enough to add it to his positions. Read. Slowly. |

andrewbaba44:If you are referring to me I said Rooney isn't and has never been a FAR FAR superior talent to Foden. I have always put them on equal footing. Nobody will ignore KDB or Haaland to build around Rooney based on a seriatim. No manager that wins as much as Pep will do that. SAF built around CR7 vs Rooney. Even though Rooney showed more promise at a younger age. A wise manager builds around who can more than likely guarantee winning. Benzema vs CR7 etc. What did Dortmund win with Haaland out and the team built around Jude? Not directed at you. I'm just laughing for future sake. |

forgiveness:There is a reason I am selective about people I engage. Do you know transfermrkt is also indicating different positions for Foden than I had even mentioned like LM and RM? Does that not mean Foden plays 7 positions now or I can ignore that one for Foden since it does not help your illogic? |

Jodera:They are real core players in teams that win less than City and whose core players are not as good as City's core man? Will any team build around Jude over KDB and not be treated like a useless team? Bear in mind, Mou was going to build Barca around Ronaldinho and leave Messi as a winger. How would Messi's career have turned out if that was the case? For context, look for Messi's performances when he was not the core man - like PSG. What did the French Press think about Almighty Messi? |

airmark:Not that one won a world cup at the age the other was struggling at Leyton Orient? Not that any individual award Kane had, Foden has doubled it? You tried to squeeze in World Cup in 2018 when Kane was 25 years? When will you ever learn to be shameless? |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Android17: 3:31am On Mar 26 |
Jodera:The same reason France was built around Zidane not Henry when both were playing. KDB is in conversations for being the greatest ever player in EPL history so Foden has to adjust for him. Same way Fabregas was not deployed in midfield when better midfielders like Xavi, Iniesta and Alonso where in the national team. Same reason Saliba cannot get a shirt for France. Or will Odegaard play 10 for City with KdB? Or will Arteta build his team around Saka vs KDB? |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Android17: 1:16am On Mar 26 |
Leyqute:Fair enough. Time will tell. Remember England have won nothing thus far. I also want them to test run Jude so that when the team fails, the matter will now depend on another coach who can use Foden better. This will be another Oscar vs KdB issue. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Android17: 12:17am On Mar 26 |
Leyqute:Bellingham was never playing the 10 role until this season. And even at RM most of his goals have come from him being in the false 9 position not even as a 10. Their numbers (G+A) are the same this season You're right that Foden is not consistent but that is because even at City he is not used in his best role consistently. After his MoM performance against Brentford the other week as a 10, Pep shoved him to the RW the very next game. CR7 was not consistent until the team was built around him in 2006/7. Maybe you've forgotten when that was the criticism he used to get from 2003-2005. I think SAF even placed a bet with him on scoring 10 goals in a season. Rooney never had great numbers until CR7 left and the team was built around him. He quickly showed he was a 30goal a season player. Prior, Rooney used to do 15 goals 15 assists etc and people accused him of being inconsistent too. |

Leyqute:Nah I am not. Half the people here just can't read. Foden is not second best to Jude as a 10. He might be second best to other players like Saka or Rashford in the RW or LW positions but he is the best 10 at England's disposal. But that will depend on if the team builds around him. England can decide if building around Foden is worth it versus building around say Kane or Jude. Until that he will huff and puff like Scholes did for England. Imagine if Argentina was built around Lautaro instead of Messi or if SAF built around Rooney instead of CR7 when both played together. All that to say, no matter how good some players are, you'll never see it if the system is not built around them. Palmer is good for Chelsea but was meh at City because the team was not built around him. City just couldn't build around him because it made better sense to do it around KdB or Haaland. I'm indirectly saying, if England built around Foden they'll more likely win than if it was around Kane, Saka, Jude etc. And I stand by that. |

airmark:Stop wasting my time with your childish rigmaroles. Had Kane won more individual awards at the same age? Foden is a midfielder so he is not expected to score at the level of an elite striker but he had already shown better scoring ability than Kane from their breakout days. That is the interpretation to people who understand English. It means when given the chance earlier in their careers, Foden showed he could do it faster than Harry Kane. Therefore Foden's ability to adapt to anything is more advanced at an earlier stage than Harry ended up showing. That is credit Foden. You should consider a career in working drill bits 'cos you're a boring tool. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Android17: 10:09pm On Mar 25 |
forgiveness:This is not exactly telling right? Son and Richarlison never really played the striker role with Kane on although that is what the formation will suggest right? And Tottenham can win a penalty with Kane playing as the goal keeper. He will still take it and most likely score. The data you're presenting is not very representative. Kane plays 2 positions adequately. |
