Leyqute: Henry is the best EPL striker, Rooney edges Aguero , And Drogbas EPL career wasnt very stellar For City. I pick Yaya first because he was a tank, hardly ever injured and unplayable at his peak, then Aguero because he delivered the goods, then Silva I think a lot of Kompany myth is hidden under the mysterious "Leadership". For many seasons Kompany was injured and even I don't think he outperformed the other 3 when he was fit. 4 Likes |

raumdeuter: The work of an attacker in a team is easy to be noticed than the work of a defender because they hardly score goals. That’s probably why you didn’t give Kompany his due. Being a defender doesn’t reduce his influence in the team. He was fit and available for the most important phase of the rebuilding and his presence was a major boost. He even won City their last title wirh that long range effort against Leicester City. You can say you don’t rate him and that’s okay but don’t play down his importance for City during his spell. 2 Likes |

raumdeuter: Mention 1 better City defender than Kompany. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 8:52pm On Mar 30, 2021 |
Leyqute: Kompany in the last 4 seasons did not play up to 19 league games in any season. That is half of the games in a season and Kompany didnt even play half. And that goal vs Leicester cannot be said to have won them the league as there were several 1 goal victories which gave city all 3 points, Any of those games has same weight as the one vs Leicester 4 Likes |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 8:54pm On Mar 30, 2021 |
Leyqute: Of course who are the other defence options he played with, Otamendi Demichelis, Mangala, Lescott, Stones, Micah Richards. How hard is it to be better than these options Because no Man Utd defender is better than Maguire in the current team doesn't make him a great City defenders are not great. Until this season City's strength is more in their offence which limits the number of times they get attacked 8 Likes |

raumdeuter: The most important phase of City’s ascension to the top wasn’t in his last 4 seasons. It was pre-2012, when they wrestled the title from SAF. They experimented a lot. Bought lots of talented players- only few became important to the team, Kompany among them.
Without that goal, they wouldn’t have won the title. It came at the cusp of winning their campaign. The stakes were higher at that point and things were more tense. City won the opening game of the season against wolves 3-1. How important is that win vs the 2-0 against Aston Villa that took them to the top over United? Is it not the same 3 points ? 1 Like 2 Shares |

raumdeuter: Maguire is not even better than AWB when it comes to defense but okay. Apples and oranges, Dayo. City defenders are not great; Kompany is not great; City defenders don’t get work to do, etc. But then it is when Kompany isn’t on the pitch that they become more vulnerable to counters. Of those defenders you listed , which one is Boateng better than individually? And you even mentioned Micah Richards. Lawd. NVM Dayo. |

Leyqute: If AWB is your best defender, you can sub him in, That AWB is your best defender does not make him a great or one of the top 5 Man Utd players of the past 5yrs Boateng is better than everyone of them individually. Yes Micah Richards played with Kompany too. Is there any City defender we are not remembering that can even pass for above average. Mangala Demichelis, Lescott, Otamendi, Stones |

Trevor012:Aguero scored 181 goals in just 271 apps but because someone that has appeared 491 times has more goals than him, then the latter is automatically better. Think about these things. Aguero and Harry Kane are far better goal scorers than Wayne Rooney. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Can't believe for the whole duration of the international break, England vs Poland is probably the only game that remotely seems like a fixture to look forward to. And one of the main factors that made it such is now gone (Lewy). Instead, people like Lewandowski and Kante dey collect injuries with important UCL games coming up. Make this break just get out abeg ![]() |

FergieRaww: Dayo is just aiming for a soft landing should Bayern lose. Lewy is quite important but he hasn’t been doing it alone. Bayern has other important players who have been bailing them out. Gnabry, Coman, Sane, Muller. There’s enough firepower to beat PSG. 4 Likes |

Leyqute: PSG also has firepower. With Lewandowski out the 2 best players in the tie will be Neymar and Mbappe PLUS a good supporting cast. Bayern are without arguably the best striker in the world and there is no replacement for him of a similar quality. It would be a choke job if PSG do not go through. 3 Likes |
