In 2008 he literally shut down Barca and limited them to 2 shots on goal. In one of those matches, he had 5 Interceptions, 2 tackles and 4 challenges, all successful and did not lose a single pass.

United’s treble was better, the teams they had to face in that season in both the CL & FA Cup… not to mention a very powerful Arsenal team in the league… and remember this, the Premier League was probably the 3rd best/strongest league in Europe at the time… Man United were not favourites to win the thing by any stretch of the imagination… City play in the strongest league in Europe with a budget that can only be matched by other English teams and maybe PSG… them winning the treble is a remarkable feat, but it’s not a surprise tbh… so for me, United in 99 was the better feat 😊

@JamesFoxx Only the most anti-ManUtd fans would say otherwise. Debates are supposed to be for when you can find strong & weak points for both sides but this there's no debate because there's no category in ManCity's treble that was as impressive as ManUtd's.

United barely won the CL final and they barely won their league as well. They weren’t really favorite to win the CL that year.

They also won the league with 3-4 games left.

@@JamesFoxx city’s place financially and economically? They didn’t spend as much the season they won the treble. There were plenty of other teams that outspent them. During United’s treble, they too have spent and signed players. Stam and Yorke came in as the club record transfer fees. So we can’t really say that they were weaker financially. While they struggled to win the treble, city had smooth sailing and were favorites in every single match they played. Yes United’s treble came as a surprise and maybe that was “better” as they weren’t as good as the other teams so it was exciting to watch. City’s treble was somewhat predictable so it isn’t really something to shout about. But if you’re comparing the teams, or which team was better, it is definitely this city side.

Unfortunately England were very slow to adapt tactically. We played 4-4-2 for far too long. A midfield 3 may have worked with Gerrard and Scholes playing a double pivot with Lampard pushed a bit higher. The only issue there is that we lacked pace out wide. Downing wasn’t good enough, nor was Lennon later on or wright-Phillips before him. Beckham was the obvious choice wide right but he wasn’t quick either. Thinking about it, England from 04-09 had a really good team on paper but they were never going to be competitive with the types of players they had.

Scholes is one of the most unique midfielders of all time. His passing range and brain was only matched by Pirlo and Kroos. You can easily find plenty of players layers like Gerrard and Lampard. I agree with Scholesy on his choices

@sla7898 8 ай бұрын

Gerarrd had the passing range and IQ. He had to be all action though because of the teams he played in. He had to set the temp, score the goals, create the goals, cover full backs and defenders all in 1 game. Lmapard was more a striker

Everything he said was for me logical. Except Gerard one. However I would say prime Ronaldinho was better than prime Zidane. But Zidane influence as bigger and longer. Also Yaya was more skilled than Viera but Viera was a better leader. Hazard was really something else. Hazard was for me the closest thing to Messi. I think Scholes stays true to himself. any answer he gave was understandable even the one with gerard where he stayed humble. I don't think gerard will do the same though

Steven is a complete midfielder like Ballack or Veron. Lamps is a creative midfielder with offensive flaire like Seedorf, Modric, Iniesta and Nedved. All central midfielders but different.

Kdb could pass and score with his bothe feet eyes closed. Kdb's defensive work is way better than Lampard. Kdb can score from freekicks and can create chances which are actual chances not Bruno assists or Trent assists. Kdb's passing is unmatched. Kdb won wolfsburg titles against Bayern. So Lampard over kdb is only for ego or nostalgia people. People with brain would always pick KDB
