The fact the guy struggled with Silva vs Ozil is shocking.

How people not rate David Silva is crazy. This man was running city’s midfield for 10 years and was easily one of the best when he was playing. Plus he won the WC for Spain and was crucial in their EURO 2012 win 😂

Ozil not Silva?? Mate as a Liverpool fan, David silva is one of the most best players ever. Legend for City, legend as a whole

“Silva 11-th” - I turn off the video

Özil over David silva is crazy

Ozil over David Silva is criminally insane

Yes Stevie never won the prem but Buffon never won the UCL either and many people would put him in an all time UCL team

David Silva had 10 seasons in the prem, in the first team and never had an off-season. Kept himself to himself, never negative press or interviews. Just pure beautiful football. 10 years without ever dropping form for me is top 5. I feel like these lists suffer from looking at the past with rose tinted glasses. Silva was world class.

Ozil over Silva? I’m not sure I’ll be able to get through this video. That is such a horrendous take.😂

The disrespect over Frank is insane, people seem to forget frank technical ability and his assists in world football, but people seem to only mention his goals.

Gerrard Started his career as a RB, played CM most of his career, played RM 1 season, played CAM in his prime days with Torres, played CDM in his twilight years. This guy can play anywhere. Complete player.

It is incredible to see how quickly people fall back on collective achievements when discussing individual qualities. Its the weakest factor in a player’s ability and yet it’s the first crutch bad pundits jump to.

my immediate reaction hearing David Silva's name being swept under the rug is hilarious😂

Gerrard is the most complete midfielder. Great leader and carried that liverpool team ,not forgetting that he could do it all

The David Silva disrespect!! He is a sure top 5 for me! SMH

Having Kante at tenth is criminal

Nieve is always so good on these, love hearing her reasoning

Gerrard is the complete midfielder. Could play as a world class 6, 8, & 10! Could even argue about him as a 7 as well. Never winning the league will count against him for some people though

In my opinion KDB is already #1... He's already played 9 seasons. The longevity argument is mute in my opinion. His records speaks for itself. KDB 249 app 65 goals (0.26) 106 assists (0.43) 4 penalties Scholes 499 app 107 goals (0.21) 55 assists (0.11) 0 penalties Gerrard 504 app 120 goals (0.24) 92 assists (0.18) 29 penalties Lampard 609 app 177 goals (0.29) 102 assists (0.17) 32 penalties I don't see how KDB is not #1 if you've watched both eras, you'd comfortably say KDB is by far the most talented out of the bunch, and his stats back that up. His goal ratio is better than Lampard's (without the penalties), and his assists ratio completely smashes the others, he's assists ratio is better than anyone in premier league history, and actually puts alot of great to shame. Scholes in my opinion is clear 2nd, he might not be as good as Lampard and Gerrard in terms of explosiveness and headline grabbing, but he did things with the ball that neither Gerrard or Lampard can do, that makes him so good. Gerrard is a very close 3rd, out of the 4 he's the only one that can single handedly drag his team to a win. The other 3 needed their team mates. But can Gerrard control a game like Scholes? no. Can he pass the ball like Scholes? no. Lampard i think is undoubtedly #4 without any debate. He's not as talented as the other 3, his goals statistics were impressive, but like Gerrard so many were penalties. His goal ratio down to 0.23 without penalties, same for Gerrard 0.18 without penalties. Both Lampard and Gerrard had better statistics than Scholes because they didn't have Giggs and Beckham contributing just as much. You would find Gerrard's and Lampard's team mates won't have anywhere near as good statistics as Scholes' team mates. Beckham 265 app 62 goals (0.23) 80 assists (0.30) which shared alot of the creativity of a team. Anyways, sometimes statistics clearly don't represent the full story, if you watch the game and understand the game, I don't think you would say Gerrard or Lampard above KDB and even Scholes. Neither were anywhere near as talented.

Gerrard is the complete midfielder the only one I’ve ever saw. Started at right back Then dm Then right wing Then cm Then cam Then second striker Could pass , shoot, tackle , head, two footed, pace and strength. And he also had the ability drive average teams and lead them to trophies. Fergie chased him , mourinho chased him. He was better , he could do what I did but I couldn’t do what he did - Paul Scholes Scholes easy number 2 btw

Gerrard was a mentality monster. Only guy to score a winning goal in every final he played in.

Lampard 4th is absolutely criminal

Not a fan of the way De Bruyne's success is undermined because 'He's playing for man city' as if this is some sort of detrament on his performances. He is the heartbeat and best player in that incredible team, which surely emphasises how incredible he is. He puts in world class after world class performance, for me he has to be number 1

Gerrard is an absolute legend of the game.

I'm a city fan and David Silva is the best player I've ever seen in a city shirt. A wonderful little player. Maybe you had to really watch him to appreciate him because he didn't always grab the headlines.

Stevie G is so overrated whether you hate Liverpool or love Liverpool he’s so overrated

Roy Keane’s technical ability was very underrated!

Giggs had to be on that list considering he was left mid and his numbers speak for itself even if it were the lower half, he needed to be on there and I'm not even a United fan. As for the top 2 I have KDB ahead of Gerrard in Vision/Passing, but Gerrard beats him in every other department... Gerrard was a one man midfield defending, controlling, attacking his work rate was also double that of KDB who looks gassed most matches and as mentioned was all done while playing with a bang average squad, he really had to be everywhere in a game and didn't have the luxury of having top players behind him to allow him to focus just on attacking... Gerrard was 3 players in 1.

Gerrard was essentially the perfect midfielder.

The disrespect Fabregas gets is so unreal. 2nd most assists ever, multiple league titles, carried a terrible Arsenal team constantly to the top 4. Fabregas should be atleast top 5

Gerrard is top nuff said

They put Gerrard on top so he can slip down the ladder

@Stuntpegg is the only guest who’s come on here and never had a howl of a shout

Ohhhhhh Kevin de bruyne

Gerrard is the most complete player..

YAYA IS THE BEST . Can do it at both ends off the pitch .Score ,defend ,Assist, and control the game tempo . It's Just a shame he didn't do it as long as these guys who have been suggested .. & IM AM AN ARSENAL FAN

Bro fabregas should definitely be higher.. he's second most assist in premier League history for god's sake

I think Fernandinho needs more love.. did more for city than kante did for chelsea

Gerrard, KDB , Scholes and Lampard are top 4 midfielders in Prem and you can argue against the wall 🙂

Why are people so scared to say KDB is No.1

Gerrard the most complete midfielder in football's history. None of those players mentioned would achieve the same Gerrard did in the Liverpool's poor era. Absolute legend! Greatest Premier league midfielder off all time!

Scholes did the 10 role earlier in his career, then dropped deep and controlled the game, not many midfielders can do that as Gerrard proven himself.

This question is flawed. How can you possibly compare Ngolo Kante to De Bruyne? And say one is better than the other? They play completely different positions! It’s like asking who is the best defender in PL history and comparing Ashley Cole to Rio Ferdinand! You can’t compare a CM to a CAM to a CDM.

Think essien deserves a shout. Absolute monster

Gerard at 1 is crazy

Crazy guy for putting Ozil over Silva🤪 David Silva is at Xavi, Iniesta and KDB level

Cesc Fabregas is criminally underrated. He is better than Silva, Scholes and Yaya. The guy gave his prime to Barca and yet have more assist than all of them above him in the list. He has also had 6 seasons with 10+ assists, showing how consistent he really were.

Without Carzola, ozil wouldnt of been able to do what he did best. the drop off in performance levels from Ozil when Carzola got injured was mad.

I waited until the end to see a normal decision, but these De Bruyne-fearing analysts happily put him in 2nd place․And when Silva was considered weaker than Kante and Ozil, it was possible not to continue watching..

Gerrard will be always N1.Always

As a chelsea fan, ive witnessed Gerrard era. He was unbelievable in every play style. He can attack, assist and defend. I think theres one time again Ac Milan where Gerrard had to play as a defender. Strong leadership too. His duo time with Torres was every team's nightmare i guess🤣its rare to see a player like him. The closes one maybe Bellingham

Kante is easily top 5 midfielders in the prem. Look at how every manager has spoken of him. Literally 2 players in one.

Probably not the best individually but as a duo Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer has to the best midfield partnership ever

Ozil 😂😂😂😂 top 10 in the prem

Not only 19 assists, Özil's total of 146 chances created in 2015-16 is still the most recorded by a player in a single Premier League season since Opta began collection of this metric in 1996. And that in a team with strikers like Giroud, Welbeck, Sanogo, Walcott, Campbell and Iwobi Unreal

Kante won UCL being man of match in important games, WC too, won PL with Leicester 💀 this dude is criminally underrated. Kante is one of the best ever players in his position. Winning the premier league with Leicester City is an unbelievable flex.

Absolutely no knowledge

I would put Santi Cazorla above Ozil not because I think he is a better player but because he performed far better than Ozil at Arsenal and I'm sure he is remembered much more fondly by Arsenal fans

You can't be the greatest midfielder of all time without winning the premier league. Don't bring he played for a weaker team. Ngolo Kante won the premier league with Leicester and he had only Mahrez and Vardy with him. Whereas Steven Gerrard had prime Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso and still failed to win it.

W list. Stevie is the GOAT, can do EVERYTHING the rest combined can, on his own

In the end of Kdb career he will finish as top

The recency bias of De Bruyne in these comments is staggering 🤦🏼‍♂️ Clearly a lot of kids who never saw Gerrard or Lampard play.

Roy keane whose only skill was kicking people above the magician that David Silva was is absolutely criminal

This myth that Roy Keane was technically inferior is hilarious 🤣🤣

I heard Ozil top 10 and Vieira at number 7. Had to switch off

1 Gerrard 2 De Bruyne 3 Lampard 4 Scholes 5 Vieira 6 Keane 7 Fabregas 8 David Silva 9 Yaya 10 Kanté

I am an Arsenal fan but having Ozil over Silva is one of the dumbest takes I have ever heard. Ozil's peak is better than Silva's peak talent-wise but in the Premier League Silva's legacy is WAY more solidified than Ozil's.

Probably the best list I've seen all decade 😂 mad to even think about Silva not getting in though 🤔

Scholes is unbelievably underrated so many great former players including Pele ronaldihino iniesta henry zidane etc have all praised him as one of their hardest opponents and as one of the best midfielders of all time

credit to both neve and the other fella for this list, great ball knowledge

"Yes!!! Yes, Neve yes!!!" I love it ❤

KDB is clear at #1. All you ever hear about Gerrard is IFs. IF he was in this team, IF he had those players, IF IF IF. No one ponders that IF KDB was in that Liverpool he would have won them a PL and more trophies. It's always the other way round and based on NOTHING. No one can talk about his ability compared to De Bruyne.

Steven Gerrard ❤👑

This is all debatable and matter of opinion, I dont see the point in some people in the comments arguing about it, they were all great at the end of the day. Just depends on who you prefer. Given that neither of the people deciding the list in the video are Liverpool fans and put Gerrard at number one speaks volumes for Gerrard though.

Nieve is great like always, you can agree with her or not but there is always thinking behind her logic. But where do you find guys like this one today, either they are fanboys of their club, have no knowledge of football or both

roy keane

Fabragas at 16 17 18 was probably the best at that age

The way you should run this is by picking a play, both sides say where they have them, and then you make a decision where to put them

Remember football started 1866 not 1992

Yep, Stevie G. Last game I watched at Anfield fortuitously for me happened to be his debut. 😎

Most people have no idea how great Ozil was. What he did at Madrid and then at Arsenal was crazy

Have stuntpegg on more she's class

Stevie G. He had to carry the whole team.

Özil assists was unique

City wasnt dominating the league when silva was there its because of players like him city are where they are

de bryune over scholes viera roy keane lampard is crazy

De bruyne has to be first

absolutely no chance Roy Keane makes this list. Sure he was an amazing captain, possibly the best in PL, but as a player over the likes of Vieira, Yaya Toure, Kante? no chance

The other guy doesn't know football one bit. Any sensible football person won't put Ozil over David Silva. Maybe cos he's an Arsenal fan

People are shocked that the guy pick Ozil over Silva, but what they omit is Silva played in a much better team than Ozil in PL.

KDB #1 without question

David Silva is BETTER than Lampard, Stevie whatever and any English Midfielder 😂

What on earth is that list 1st Scholes what a fantastic player he was, an interviewer once asked Zidane "What does it feel like to be the best player in the world?," The response: "I don’t know, ask Paul Scholes. 2nd - 3rd De Bruyne Premier league stats: Appearances: 244, Goals: 65, Assists: 103 just simply an unreal player. 2nd - 4th Lampard went to play in MLS that takes a bit away from him potentially being higher on the list 3rd - 4th Gerrard ended his career in the MLS instead of continuing at higher level and for that reason he's not higher on the list 5th - 6th Roy Keane difficult to decide between him and Vieira both Fantastic players, Keane played for longer in England than Vieira and that Potentially gives him the place ahead but they even. 5th - 6th Vieira same difficult to decide between him and Keane, Fantastic Captain and Leader of Arsenal for long time and part of Arsenal Invincibles. the rest are somewhat correct not quite sure about Fabergas but then i-again not sure who should be instead of him so he gets to be there.

Stevie G thoroughly deserved. Unreal mentality and refusal to lose even a single match. Absolute freak of nature.

This once again shows why Michael Carrick is my pick for the most underrated Premier league footballer of all time. Did not even get a mention.

Again people underrating Keane's ability on the ball!

There are more successful midfielders than Gerrard, but pound for pound he is the best PL midfielder.

its unfair because kdb is still playing. when he retires he will undoubtably be the best midfielder in premier league history. so i dont really understand why gerrard is top when he hasnt won a prem title. if it was based off ability then kdc is definitely top.

So the greatest PL midfielder has never won the PL 🤣
