Still being in a good position top4-wise after United, Liverpool, Everton would give a massive confidence boost going into the 'easier' run of games.

Another brace today. 29 goals, 7 assists in 2100 or so minutes. A few months back he was a teenager still. I saw his goal today and it was typical Bundesliga non existing defending. Such an overrated league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Chelsea, I don't think so haha. We just don't create enough chances.This is a horrible club for strikers apart fron the time we had prime Hazard and prime Cesc. Haaland is more or less a norwegian version of Drogba. So he is solid everywhere, but prime Drogba was obviously more complete. Especially in hold up play and aerial threat.

Thiago was in my opinion the best midfielder after KDB last season. If people said to me that Thiago was better than KDB, I could see their point. I have watched Thiago since he was 19 years old here and there and just like KdB, he was destined for greatness. Injuriries stopped him and the two best midfielders I have seen with my own eyes in my life Xavi and Iniesta were just better than him. Nothing to be ashamed of. Also, I do not see the point comparing Thiago with Haaland. Fully fit Thiago can do things that Haaland can dream of like perfect first touch, playing fabrepasses for fun and controlling the game, while Haaland can play CF in a classical sense,which thiago can not play.

In my opinion, this Bayern currently can be beaten easily. Thiago is the best Bundesliga midfielder I have seen out of my head. Xabi Alonso and Schweinsteiger were also great, but I prefer thiago overall. And you don't believe that BVB's system and players benefit Haaland currently? He has Sancho and Reus for instance next to him. I am very certain that at Chelsea Haaland would struggle big time because we do not have players that can create chances. At Man City, he would easily score 25+ goals because everything is working and they have the most creative players in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are too much of a mess atm. We only have a 50/50 shot at even qualifying for the CL. Today was a real kick in the teeth. Håland can play it almost any way possible. He and Mbappe are the new CR7 and Messi. Bookmark this and see if I was right. I like my odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, these league's are not that impressive. I mean even Andre Silva is destroying Bundesliga currently. Jovic for instance 1 sub appearance and scored 2 goals instantly,but played garbage at Madrid and I knew Jovic would be a horrible signing. I live in Frankfurt and I have seen him play couple of times. Nothing made me think that he is Real Madrid quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are wilfully leaving out their ages and especially Mbappe's record on a global platform. Messi and CR7 were NEVER doing these things at the same age.

Messi and CR7 were NEVER doing these things at the same age. What do you mean with global platform? French national team? If yes, I mean, france has an insane squad in every area. Giroud won the World cup without having one shot at target. The football abilities shown in WC in general is horrific. I prefer watching PL than WC. Like I said before, for me scoring 150 goals in case of Mbappe in the french league is a nice statistic, but there are much harder leagues and CR7 and Messi were playing in those two leagues. I don't care about age. Obviously, if they stay in their leagues they will have outscored Messi and Ronaldo in 4 or 5 years. But my eyes show me the differences in skills between all those guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
