Kos was the man for a few years. Athletic, tough, goal threat, leader.
Ozil had crazy numbers at times for assists & chances created. World Cup-winner.
Neither of them was particularly clutch though.

Always think Kyle Walker constantly gets overlooked in anyone’s team of the decade for the 10s.
He started the decade out and one of the best RBs in the PL and finishes it off as such. He has won everything domestically, PFA team of the year three times, PFA YPOTY too.
Yes, of course - this argument is based more on his consistency, longevity and trophies he has won as a team than maybe his individual quality (not that I don’t rate him, but he’s a ‘good’ RB and not a ‘great’ one). However exactly the same principle is essentially used for Gary Neville being seen by most as the best RB in PL history.

De Bruyne really played for long enough to be in over Toure?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They both have had similar years played this decade, right?

He has about 90 appearances on him

Ah wow. I didn’t at all realise Toure was there for so long. Just seen too he only left two years ago in 2018 (feels a lot longer than that lol).
I guess 8 years and three titles this decade with City is pretty significant.
I would say though and I am a massive fan of Yaya but his most famous season the 13/14 one was like his highlight. It’s really the only season I remember him performing at player of the season contender level. What a season it was but for KDB it seems he’s performing at that level each season.
