International break boredom.
We have started the season disastrously to say the least. Despite our post-City form, I still feel like there are more dark days to come and it will be a real struggle to get back into the top 4/5.
Looking at things more optimistically, who do we have in our current squad that can be considered world class? Yes certain players have lost form and fitness, but we still have some fantastic players when they're at it.
Taking form and injury out of the picture, I think:
Bruno
Casemiro
Shaw
Antony
Varane
Hojlund
Lisandro
Maguire
Rashford
Are all what I would call world class.
None are necessarily elite level but, when used properly, all of the players above are in the top 3-4 in their position in the world I would say. Big shout out to Maguire also for getting back to his 2020/21 form. He's really quite flawless in a deep backline
Form Aside, Who Is World Class At MUFC?

I don't get the joke Not one name on that list is world class even if you don't take form and injury out of the picture.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In my opinion they are all world class. Some need certain systems, tactics and positioning to achieve it. But they are.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I defended you on theof the year yesterday...as you aren't...but you are a strange little fantasist
This is a perfect example
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I filtered Boris the troll so consider myself excluded from that wretched tournament now anyway.
How am I deluded in my assessment of a world class player?
You're a Chelsea fan aren't you...
Was Lampard world class? Yes.
Was he only world class in a certain system? Breaking into goal scoring positions from midfield??? Yes!
Would he have been world class if he was a deep lying midfielder? Therefore rarely scoring goals or making the same runs? No!
But he was a world class player. He just needed the right system and tactics to show it.
Hope you get what I mean now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So...what you've done is use a world class player to prove your point....
I see...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am right though. Lampard was world class due to system and tactics.

Bruno wouldn't even get into City's squad. Pep would see him as most people see him. A decent player on his day but a very weak, feeble, melt job character that constantly whines, moans, crys and falls down. Never a leader or Captain material for any Club that wants success. He doesn't inspire with his football or his character. Blames everyone bar himself all the time.
Yeah Pep would want that in his dressing room🤣🤣

Pep would have him because he is an upgrade on KDB and the stats show it

Yes he is world class. Pathetic comments too about him apparently hitting a women when
1) There's no proof
2) He's never even been arrested.
You lot worship Salah, but people forget he was looking awful when he first came to England.
Antony's level now is already above Salah's level when he first arrived at Chelsea so I am very happy and excited.
Keep your pathetic comments to yourself and be careful because what you said is libellous.
