Where's Yaya Toure? Probably the best in the league at it
^ ^ ^
That big bear.
Brilliantly effective beast but not a Natural.
Ozils always relaxed on the ball. a bit too relaxed at times
Eden Hazard is top of that list...way he shields and maneuvers with the ball, near enough impossible to get the ball off him(without fouling).
Superb at getting his body between ball and marker retaining posession. Adept.
Glides past players when he feels like it.
This thread is going to be yet another club biased debate.
So i will say David Silva is by far the most natural in the league, effortless in everything he does.
I don't particularly think Cesc is good at shielding the ball, certainly not top 5.
We have/had players in Makelele, Mikel and Matic who are better shielding(as you would expect).
Latter especially can turn with back and leave the marker for dead with his long strides(Toure on the receiving end of this, in the away match last season).
Another one, but not quite as good as against City:
