@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson a playmaker but not KDB because he does all that. It’s fine to say KDB is an SS and not a midfielder because he’s elite as what he does best. At Belgium that’s blatant too, how Hazard was alwasy responsible for aviliating pressure and involving the teammates rather than KDB

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson Well a midfielder’s and playmaker’s job isn’t to receive the ball deep. There’s got to be horizontality and involvement of teammates, to play 1-2s and to allow your teammates to play in their comfort zones. At City that’s always been D. Silva and Bernardo. I consider Benzema as

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson Not really. Most of the time he’s able to freely play around the box is a direct result of him and Verratti pinning down the opposition. That never happens when PSG are struggling ie City 21. It’s just him enjoying the results of his elite carrying and playmaking

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson Yes, KDB operates as a final-third player for an extremely dominant side without having to play multiple roles at the same time. Let’s not, he’s an SS and not a 10, I’d really like to know whichever midfield duties he does and how he even facilitates play

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson Exactly my point when saying he was never going to be a midfielder/SS (his preferred role by far) at Barcelona because Messi was already there. It’s blatantly his best role and it’s not even close so you can see why he would leave Barcelona

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson Neymar’s midfielder, been one for a little over half a decade now, blatantly visible in all his UCL games for PSG. Him being injured takes nothing out of his ability, and it’s not his fault he got injured, all were impact-based because how childish and bad L1 defenders are

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson been bad because he didn’t play

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson His track record in the game’s he’s played is still really good. I don’t mind making an observation to say it’s a pity he didn’t play more and that he could’ve shown a much higher level instead of glimpses scattered throughout seasons, but you’re flat out assuming he’s

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson Yes Neymar was already really washed after 2021 and I recognize that, last time he was ever at a great level was during 2021 Copa America

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson I don’t think Neymar was good either, I’d rate his first leg a 7/10 and his second leg a 6/10

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson No he didn’t 🤣 and let’s take into consideration how severely outclassed PSG had been by City, how KDB’s job was as easy as waiting for the ball without having to run the match and be a technical reference on the pitch, and how alone Neymar was in the game

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson KDB was dogshit against PSG in 20/21, let’s not use result bias lmfao

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson And I’m not saying billion pound squad for its valuation, you look at City’s squad and you go wow, they still do well with or without KDB. Now you take Neymar out of PSG and look how horribly they’ve done in 17/18 and 18/19, no matter how expensive or famous the players were

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson Like how can you say he didn’t play at a high level for PSG when this was his average performance in the UCL?? https://t.co/WBJ7lY7W5Q

[Henry @henrysX98]

@kaiiesque @JeremyEriksson Yeah and his time as Wolfsburg is nowhere as good as Neymar’s time at any of his three clubs

[Henry @henrysX98]

@Z9Priv_ @iidk35477 Because as far as I can tell Neymar still managed to out-do KDB’s performance average with dysfunctional PSG sides while City’s supported by a billion pound squad with a bench made out of 50 mil players and managed by the best manager in the world

[Henry @henrysX98]

@Z9Priv_ @iidk35477 Reached that conclusion after having watched less than 10 Neymar games during his time at PSG?
