Nope, think I’d rather have Grealish 

LOL A lad with 5 goals in nearly 50 games this season! 

And Ryan Giggs got 3 goals in the 1999 Treble winning season, stats aren't everything. 

Grealish outstanding against Real, as he has been all season. I explained on here two months ago why he is now a regular on this City team and what he brings to the team. He's made that position his own. 

Is Kyle Walker still brutal?

Since you like posting twitter links, here is one in relation to Kyle Walker.


Kyle Walker is only in the team due to Ake being injured, Pep already said he couldn’t play in the teams current system.

Walker has been a regular starter in the team for 99% of his time at City since signing, seeing off supposedly better right backs such as Joao Cancelo during that period. 
He was on the bench for a few games a few months ago when Guardiola tried something different and had Stones at right back and also as an inverted midfielder, which worked very well. Pep then said that Walker cannot do what Stones does in that role, which is common knowledge to anyone who's seen both play. 
Does that make him a poor right back? Absolutely not, he's world class. 

Just ask Mbappe, Vinicius, Hazard or Neymar - the last two actually named him as their toughest ever opponent. What would they all know though. What would Pep Guardiola know?

He was always starting those games against Real, considering their most dangerous player plays on the left wing and that Walker has been pocketing world class wingers for years in this competition. 
Did you see what Vinicius did to City last year when they'd no right back in the team and Walker was suspended?

Anyone who can't admit that Walker is world class is living in cloud cuckoo land, or else has a problem admitting that English players are good at football. Don't let the fact that they may be arrogant or cocky lead to a ridiculously blinkered opinion. We've seen it on here with you over the years with Grealish and Sterling who were awful footballers too over the years. 

Oh, here's another link from Twitter for people to view.
It isn't from data on a spreadsheet though, just football on a pitch at the highest level:

Wrong thread yes, but is having a football debate on a football forum really ruining things?

If he moves for less than £90 million, West Ham will have been ripped off.

Yea fair play to Mourinho if he does win it!

I watch the game last night and they were absolutely grim to watch, played for a 0-0 and their best attacking player by a distance Dybala didn’t even get off the bench.

Roma fans seem to love Mourinho but I was delighted when he left United as the football was brutal. 

Loved watching Belotti at Torino but that probably was not a good move for him? Will he move on again? Thought he would end his career with Torino.

Seems like he’d be the type of striker Mourinho would love too.

Good to see Belotti scoring again last night. Got both in Roma's 2-2 draw with Salernitana. 'Old man' Candreva can still deliver. He got both for the visitors.

They are reporting that Pogba is after 'testing positive for testosterone', which I'm assuming is elevated levels of it. The fella will do anything to avoid a game
