The_Rev Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Shout out for Riyad Mahrez. I know he won PFA player of the year in 2016, but I was slightly concerned he'd get lost in the shuffle at Man City. He's been outstanding this season though, City haven't missed De Bruyne at all and Mahrez has been key to that. He's probably undroppable at the moment and I dare say he'd be starting for France now had he elected to represent the country where he was born and raised as opposed to the one where is dad is from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 It is time David Silva got seriously discussed or even selected when it comes to those shitty PL All Time XI debates Sky occasionally do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Jordan Pickford having excellent season, will probably cause fuss but I think he's top 5 in premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Collymore doesnt rate him Easily one of best players in history of the league, even English football. Shearer, Keane, Henry, Lampard, Scholes, Terry, Giggs etc. Fits in that company with ease 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could make a strong argument he's Manchester City's greatest ever player though. I know Aguero gets a lot of goals and lot of headlines, but Silva has always struck me as being the key to their success. I suspect he will retire when his current contract expires at the end of next season, I think all that business with his son this year might have convinced him to enjoy his family life back in Spain.

I dont think any argument. He is greatest player City have had ever. Aguero is great too but Silva is 8/10 most weeks, maybe his stats arent brilliant but he dominates games with ease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Colin Bell is the obvious rival for that honour. Never saw him play but he was key to City's other golden era and was good for 15 goals a season from midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Have to admit I don't watch much of Huddersfield but Mooy always impresses me, That Billing has the potential to be a quality player also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 MItrovic has dominated the Wolves 3 man back line on his own today. an absolute beast and he reminds me of Benteke at times at Villa especially if they are to stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually praising Villan4life for mentioning him at Oxford. It did take him a good 6 months to settle at Leeds, think he struggled to score early on for them but no issue now.
