I consider world-class personally as any player I would strongly consider if I was making a world 22 man squad.
Alisson and Mane are definites for me. Trent, Robertson and Bruno very likely as well.
On the fence with Son, De Gea, Sterling and Pogba.
The rest would be no.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty much this, minus pogba who’s far too inconsistent to be anywhere near wc. Talent wise he is though. Ddg was, not sure he is now.

Yeah maybe if it were done on current form none of the Liverpool defenders would get in.

Yeah it's crazy how, just off the back of winning the PL, CL and world club championship (whilst having nearly half the PL career assists of Paul Scholes in just a couple of seasons) means people say he is world class 😅😅😅
I've been telling him and that Kevin bloke at City assists are poor mens goals and theyll never achieve anything in the game.

So basically, because it's the worst defence in PL based off 1 freak 7-2 defeat that means the defenders aren't world class no more?
None of Barca's players are world class then because they shipped 8 to Bayern last season. None of their defenders/goalkeepers are.
I think people are saying Liverpool's players are world class and the others aren't - because it's true! It's not biased, ask yourselves what any of the others have done to brand themselves "world class" and for how long for.
A handful of good games where they really look the real deal is not enough to warrant this. The Liverpool players mentioned have been consistently at the top of the footballing ladder for the past 2/3 years now.
TAA and Robertson are probably the 2 best full backs in world football at the moment, can't think of many others I'd rather have in them positions, how could you not brand them as world class?

Tbh if u look across all the big leagues few big teams are firing on all cylinders. Even Munich have taken a beating and most on here believe they are a team with 11 jesus Christ's in the first 11 😅

Sadio Mane NO
Alisson NO
Trent Alexander-Arnold NO
dunno first name Robertson NO
Rooney YES
Raheem Sterling NO
Bernardo Silva NO
Aymeric Laporte NO
Rooney YES
Ederson NO
Timo Werner NO
Christian Pulisic NO

Cesar Azpilicueta NO
Thomas Partey NO
Marcus Rashford YES
Anthony Martial YES
Paul Pogba YES

Not really fella. World class is bandied around far to easily these days. No way are the whole of the Liverpool back four and goalie world class with or without the 7-2. Ridiculous to say they are.

TAA is nowhere near world class.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably the best right back in the world at the moment, especially offensively.
What else would define world class?n

Carvajal is the best RB in the world
Id say Mane, Bruno Fernandes and DDG

A Liverpool fan calling Sterling world class is anything but biased.
Bernardo Silva for me definitely is. Fernandes I'm having second thoughts about to be fair but seems like he's got that tag to most people, Laporte for me is despite City's defensive issues.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Silva has been in hiding for over a year now. Fantastic in his first season at City but unfortunately that’s it
I really don't get the hype over Alison.
What does he do that is world class? Is it shot stopping, distribution, aerial ability, 1 on 1's ?

With Ederson it depends what you want with a goalkeeper, but he’s not made as many mistakes as you’ve made out.

Agree with this, it's his distribution and 1 on 1 ability that's maybe the best in the world, his aerial ability and shot stopping aren't bad but not as good as a few others like Oblak
And how often is he getting caught 1 on 1?
Pretty regularly with this high line
