@Orange_47_RMA @MattyFC__ @PMMacNamara Cool. I don’t see it. I would be very surprised if you asked every manager in the world who they’d want in their team if they picked Neymar over Rooney

Wayne Rooney was a better player than Neymar. By a country mile. There isn’t one aspect of football where Neymar outshines Rooney. Vision, output, effectiveness, mentality…it’s all Rooney. Some things in football are to be debated, others are straight up fact, this is the latter
English
@1895cg @mattspiro I think the strength of the league we play harder games more regularly. Which is a good thing, but also has an impact on our fitness. My point was more bar City, the other teams knocked out are having poor seasons. Do you think Mallorca would beat Man United?
English
Only the English (and yes, I am one of them) would dare to claim that the reason for one of the worst Champions League weeks ever for Premier League clubs is because… the Premier League is too strong 🤔

@PedTalksSports Not really, never get chance to rest anyone as the league is so competitive. The teams knocked out this week are currently 2nd, 6th, 9th and 16th.
How many of the other teams are outside of the top 2/3?

If your league is that hard then it should be a cakewalk in the UCL
Your team struggle because your players and teams are nowhere near as good as you hype them up

@GoNuelx Failed ex players???
You know Neville and Keane together have more trophies than Man City as a club
English
The Overlap is just a circus of “failed” ex-players and ex-managers patting each other on the back while tearing others down for clicks. They’ve failed at playing, failed at managing, failed at staying relevant and now they scream negativity to stay alive. Meanwhile, CBS Sports runs real analysis without the fake ego, the staged outrage, or the desperate attempts to be “hot takes.”
Let’s be honest: The Overlap isn’t a show, it’s a graveyard of careers trying to borrow attention I have always said this.
English
@herculezg @GeecheeKid No chance. He had more talent, yes. He would have played even less if he was in the PL than he did in France. I’d have Rooney and Suarez, over him all day. Not as skillful, but you know what you are going to get, along with brilliance
English
😕 Neymar Jr would arguably be the greatest player in their history if he were British.
In the era of Messi and Cristiano, only one player came close, that was Neymar.

Players in Premier League history who are better than Neymar: End of List
English
@Kennedinho1011 @themaskedw1nger @StatisticalTips Not at all. You’d realise Neymar was infinitely more skillful. If Neymar had Rooney’s mentality he would be close to Messi level. Sadly he didn’t. He is a better Hazard for me. Really good, exciting, but fell short of the absolute greats.
English
@themaskedw1nger @StatisticalTips The only way people say Rooney is better is if they've never really watched Neymar or just hate him.
Any person with common sense and an unbiased opinion knows that Neymar is clearly better and does much more off the ball than people realize
English
@AKochiBoy @VibeCFC @themaskedw1nger So he should be!! If you move to France at 25, you are going to be judged on the CL. He could have not played and PSG would have won exactly the same.
English
English
@SelecaoTalk @GeecheeKid Isn’t the question who in the PL is better than Neymar? Hence the bubble being the PL. Neymar was great to watch but France is a weaker league and his prime was wasted. Henry, Rooney, Kane, Ronaldo, Suarez are all better than Neymar. Not more skillful, but better
English
It’s genuinely scary how even while having access to watch any team, league, player in the world, English pundits are still stuck in their very own deluded bubble.

English
@VibeCFC @themaskedw1nger @AKochiBoy If he’d done that in a top league then I’d agree. He was brilliant at Barcelona, the move to PSG, was a shocker at the time, and worse now. He wasn’t as interested and it reflected in his availability. His stats in France yeah they are great. So we’re Cavani or Ben Yedder
English
@TelOdell @themaskedw1nger @AKochiBoy He has more goals, more assists, more MOTM awards, higher Balon D'or finish, more Intl goals... Basically better in every single stat but because he suffered a couple of injuries in France it means fvck all? Come on.
English
@_TomScholes @GeecheeKid I’d say there is much more of an opportunity to rest players in other leagues because how far the top 1-2 are away from the rest. Hard to do that in PL.
Let’s not forget the teams that were knocked out are 2nd, 6th, 9th and 16th in PL.
English
When Bayern/PSG went out, it was because Bundesliga or Ligue 1 was too weak. When four PL teams get knocked out, it’s because the league is too strong. Nonsense.
And no, Burnley are not better than 11 teams in Serie A…

@TurkTalksFC Well you think it’s Bruno. 😂
The whole season has been spent putting down Arsenal for set pieces. It’s phenomenal, it is a difference maker and Bruno has done well
English
Finding it quite amusing how ‘open play’ is suddenly this huge thing when it comes to assists now - as if a great cross from a corner/free-kick isn’t as impressive as a short pass in open play…
Wonder why
English
@VibeCFC @themaskedw1nger @AKochiBoy This has got to be banter. Guy struggled to get to 20 league games after 25. In France. Superb skill, very gifted. It’s ok to say his career flattered to deceive. He made the wrong decision to early in his career and ended up fizzling out too early.
English
@themaskedw1nger @AKochiBoy There's not a single thing Henry does better than Neymar gang come on
English
@SebOnFootball @GeecheeKid Henry, Rooney, Ronaldo is fairly obvious. Kane and Suarez.
Salah and Mane but different as they aren’t in the same league skill wise, but more reliable.
Hazard not for me, closer skill wise but not the output.
English
Insane takes. Literally insane, these are the top pundits in the country ffs. Mane 🤣

@theonlysimeon_1 @ReeceDSport @ZeStark0 @theorienteer_ @SebOnFootball In fairness I do agree Neymar is better than Hazard, however Neymar only played more than 20 league games in a season after the age of like 25 and that was in France.
English
@ReeceDSport @ZeStark0 @theorienteer_ @SebOnFootball Neymar is better, period.
WTF are you saying
Hazard was washed at 28
TF are you on?
English
@talkSPORT @jackwhitehall Pretty much most Arsenal fans.
What we then get is Jim White or someone will say Arsenal could do the quadruple.
Then if we don’t, everyone will be on our case saying ‘remember when Arsenal fans were saying they were going to do the quadruple’

👀 "I'm certainly not talking about the quadruple!"
🔴 "Let's all just calm down!"

@bambam1975 @IsYoursGold04 @nevellan @ffwtbollew @KelechiAFC Yes that was a bit loose of us. It was more like he had the tip in, and then lobbed the rest in with gusto

@IsYoursGold04 @TelOdell @nevellan @ffwtbollew @KelechiAFC How can shimmy back on the pitch if he’s wasn’t off the pitch

@E65152Zamani @talkSPORT He was good pretty much all last season, and most of this. His first season he looked out of his depth, think that’s a Brighton player type thing in general
English
@TelOdell @talkSPORT 18 months is a stretch his first 6 months at Chelsea it was bad picked from January till May and ran through it the whole last season.. this season he has patchy . Good 7 games bad 5 games. So I don’t think that’s a world class player
English
@E65152Zamani @talkSPORT He’s had a good 18 months at Chelsea to now as well.
Hey it doesn’t matter to me, just think he is top player
English
@TelOdell @talkSPORT 1 good season at Brighton. He had 1 good season at Brighton Terry 1 and that was when Arsenal wanted him.
