Ledley couldn't even train for his last few years. So thats the same with Kompany i'm presuming, otherwise theres no comparison. His cartridge injury was permanent, not frequently recurring. Ledley King was a phenomenal athlete who's sole training consisted of walking up and down a swimming pool. Darren Anderton would be close to the mark, mind!!

alfieconn Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Pep Guardiola has told his Manchester City bosses that improving the Etihad atmosphere must be treated as a priority. Sportsmail understands Guardiola outlined his thoughts about home matches to chief executive Ferran Soriano. City are holding workshops with staff and supporters in a bid to improve the 'matchday experience' for fans — but club sources stress those pre-date the Catalan's arrival. Guardiola has been agitated by fans who leave the stadium early and admitted this week that he is missing the 'pressure' of managing in Spain and Germany. He is increasingly troubled by fans turning their back on games before the final whistle. City have been attempting to find solutions and recent dialogue with season-ticket holders led to Guardiola agreeing to kick towards the South Stand's singing section in the second half against Hull City earlier this month. Couldn't make this up, just goes to prove that their true fan base is only about 30,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goals, scored from the midfield. He's had a much greater impact on the season than Silva. I'm not arguing whether he was wrongly left out in the past but this season Dele's inclusion was a no brainer. If want a totally ridiculous exclusion its Alderweirald. Thats just absurd.

But as you pointed out in another thread, stats don't seem to count for toffee. Otherwise Courtois or Lloris would have been in goal and the defence would have been something like Steve Cooke, Ben Mee, Ashley Williams and Michael Keane. Also, De Bruyne and Sanchez should have been in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Alli has played in Central Mid his stats drop to the same as Silva. So the question is. Would Alli play as a central midfield or attacking midfield in the PFA team?

Isn't it simply chosen of the eleven players they feel best deserved to be selected rather than picking a perfectly balanced side? Thats not really a question that can be answered within this context. However he's not at his best in a central midfield role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Alfie, he has spread around the midfield a bit but you get my point. Alli has played 27 games as attacking midfield, so a lot more in comparison to Silva. So he should get more goals but how many assists has he had? Silva has had 7. How many passes has he made? Silva has made 1,817. How many through balls etc, etc. Silva is a play maker, a magician with the ball and a provider. In my view. Silva is a better all round player than Alli but it's all subjective and we will all have our tinted's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 What do you mean he hasn't played as well this season? As well as he normally plays or as well as Delli? Silva is having a great season. You asked me a simple question which answered. My opinion is Silva is a better player than Delli. He's our most important player for the past 6 seasons. Without him we're half a team and lack nouce. He's a spanish international with over 100 caps (I think). His only 'flaw' is he doesn't score as much as he should. That's my opinion. Are you saying Delli is a better player than Silva? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dele can play anywhere along the midfield and forward line. Eriksen has had one of his best seasons at Tottenham: 11 Goals in all competitions (7 in EPL) 14 assists in all competitions (12 in EPL) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
