Closed Man United v Chelsea

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

he's been really good every time I watch him at Madrid. He was world class last year and so far this year has been better than Eden overall I think. Although I do see Eden claiming his spot as the best player in the EPL by season's end

DiMaria is good, at Madrid he was buoyed by being on an incredible team. This year he is a standout player on a team with no identity... He is good but he's not better than any of the players I mentioned but you're entitled to your opinion

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

wait wait wait wait... Di Maria isn't better than Fabregas?

Nope. What's the problem with that?

DiMaria is the new flavour of the month... He's not better than Hazard, Aguero, Silva or even Fabregas. He's the new guy that no one ever watched play before who has surprised people with his ability.

Agree here, I know that Di Maria (and Alexis too) are good players, but it is probably because they're new guy and other small teams defender surprised and couldn't handle them at first. Their defender are not experienced facing one of the top player suddenly, unlike big teams defender do.

Wait for a year or two, they will learned about Di Maria and Alexis movement and style of play, by the time they finally understand, they could deal with it.

Rubbish. Both Di Maria / Alexis Sanchez are world class players.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

The thing about that term 'World Class' is there isn't really a criteria to go by. The term gets watered down easily for this reason

Oh joy. Another thread being turned into 'Player X' vs 'Player Y' comparison again...

[Victor Von Doom 258]

OK, Sanchez / ADM are as good as anyone in their respective positions and defenders still won't be able to handle them in a yr or two's time.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Yes they are good players and one of the best wingers at the moment. But we will see then, will they still creating assist and scoring for fun next season.

[Victor Von Doom 258]

Imo, yes.

There is a reason why Di Maria and Alexis sold by RM and Barca

That's bull. Robben, Hazard and Ribery are clearly superior to Sanchez and Di Maria is also better. As good as anyone my foot. The amusing fact is how you say it so matter of factly.

Antonio Valencia and Jonny Evans are not fit enough, I think," added the boss on MUTV.

You said Alexis Sanchez is as good as anyone in his position. That's not a factual statement. It's a laughable one. You didn't watch Alexis play for Barcelona, how frustrating a player he was there. He left on a high note with a good season state-wise only, really but that's about it.

U saying he isn't as good as other players in his position isn't any more or any less factual than me saying that he is.
