True....but!

The EPL is the best league in the world no question about this but it's not an extraterrestrial league. My theory about football is that if you're a good player, you'll perform in any league. May not happen immediately but with time you'll show your level. EPL is best because they have they best players and most of these players were purchased from other leagues. Most of the best players in the EPL are all imports.

Defenders like, Milenkovic, Yoro, Timber, Califiori, Konate, Romero, Van Der Ven, Tomiyasu(pre injury), Ruben Dias, Malick Thaw etc...Dean Huijsen was not a regular at Juventus/Roma until he came to the EPL and bossesd it. Ruben Dias came directly from Portugues league and immediately won the premier league player of the season.

I agree that once you're here, you must step up physically, mentally etc in order to match the level but if you're good/focused, you'll do well eventually.

From Serie A, defenders like Lucumi, Ndicka, Plavlovic, Batsoni, Bremer, Kossono, Isak Hien may not really feel out of place in the EPL. They're physically very dominant with good pace/passing.

No disagreements here. You need to step up in one way or another when you get to the EPL, especially if your level is not on par with the league.

We’ve seen non physical players excel in the EPL- Mata, Silva, Ozil, etc. But their positioning and football intelligence was on a whole level of its own. This complemented their lack of physicality

If you’re good enough, you’re good enough. Surely. But if not, you definitely have to step up. All those upcoming talented defenders in Italy, don’t be surprised if EPL clubs buy them in the next couple of years. The money in the league is gargantuan.

Balanced take overall ....I agree 👍

Yeah, Liverpool already got one small boy like that from Italy who just suffered ACL. You're right, EPL is literally the super league. Money nah water for here.

Gucciboy:
Chelsea conceeding only 4 goals in ucl is not getting hyped enough. Maximum respect.

I don't think any team can break that record .

With this new format, it will be impossible to break the record.

Leyqute:
And so??

The second one nko?

But that’s by the way. Wetin concern your post with the fact that Serie A defense isn’t like it was?

Every time you quote me na straight up antagonization. Didnt even take a time to put things into perspective

I no Dey against your argument oga

I just Dey talk about when Man U still be better team

Leyqute:
Ignoring the physicality and speed of the EPL when almost every imported player (and even manager) have attested to it is just being ignorant.

If you are good enough, you will find a way to deal with the physicality and speed, and excel nonetheless. If not, you’ll flop. Simple.

Oga Matheus cunha found the epl more easier than other leagues he played for despite the physicality

I am sure because of that we can say those leagues are more stronger than the epl ba ,since you no wan agree with me

Kimbeast:
How? That final was actually enjoyable. Maybe not as competitive as one would have expected but it was fun watching Psg trash Inter.

Inter was total total trash in that final. At least pretend to to up a fight. Just nothing.

The match bored me to death, I no lie.

Lamps bringing Coventry back to PL?

Knelsoon:
Lamps bringing Coventry back to PL?

He should just guide the club to secure top 2 spot, definitely they will play in EPL next season

Another commanding performance from Coventry, who lead 10-man Watford 3-0 after almost an hour. The red card came after the three goals, btw.

Your xi for this afternoon

Maresca don dey get sense.
Good formation

Leyqute:
It won’t, and for good reason too.

From watching the games you know that theEPL is more physical and faster than other leagues on a whole.

To survive, incoming players often have to elevate an aspect of their game, be it physicality, technicality, or even football intelligence.

So, while players like Wirtz and Gbokeres struggle visibly (cos they think they’re enough), you see others like Xavi Simmons upping an aspect of their game while the Woltemades and Ekitike thrive. Those last 2 propbably saw the league as a challenge and were prepared to rise to the occasion from day 1.

For all the players I mentioned, the jury is still out tho.

Does every EPL player who go outside thrive?

Abi we didnt see Hazard Palhinha Coutinho also struggle abroad?

Then we can also say though they were royalty in EPL, they were not La liga Bundesliga standard

Why did Isak Cunha Maguire Mount Grealish who were bought from the same EPL used to the physicality of the same EPL still struggled? While players like Ekitike Haaland Dias Gvadiol Saliba Gabriel who were bought from outside click immediately

Same with Mateta Woltemade Isak Haaland Salah.


Salah hit the epl running getting numbers he never thought possible in Italy

Garnacho starts. Come on Maresca

I am not saying the epl isn’t the best in the world currently,but they should calm down with physical this and that

I been think say kompany Dey treat palinha badly till I decide to observe some games in Bayern ,dude was playing like a dodoyo ,now he is back in English and back to his best

Will be happy for a guiu goal today ,will always wish him well and I hope he takes over as Chelsea number one striker soon

A brace today will be fine

Failed logic. Bad example.

Cunha played in BuLi as a teenager and was barely 22 when he played for Athletico Madrid in La Liga. He was nowhere near his peak.

And it took him 3 years with Wolves to become the player we all know today.

He didn’t “find the EPL easier than other leagues”, like you said. He merely developed as a player and is now hitting new higher levels. No evidence suggests he won’t be Atletico’s main player had he stayed on— cos the grit and talent is there.

If you’re talking about players from other leagues who became an instant hit with the EPL, Fernando Torres, Zola, Henry, are better examples. And those are proper ballers with bountiful talents and aren’t easily bullied physically.

[b]looks so much like Raphina.

I will be happier if the brace happens on 25th next month.

Is Badiashiel injured?

I loved his performance in his last match for us. Very solid.

I really hope that him and achebomg grow to become solid in that defence, so that the likes of Tosin and fofana will have to look for another club

.I no see hope in Tosin cos that guy is naturally too slow.

Oya eyin omo..
Garnacho surprise abi disappoint me with goal or assist abeg

Guiu starting against Sunderland

...and I like the mins Garnacho is getting. Soon, that left wing might be for him and Gittens alone...if the later continues in this path of growth in confidence.

Which kind bad start be this
