I'm sorry but Lewis is actually right. you can't just miss half the games every season and still be called top 3 imo. If I'm making an 11 for a full season I'm not picking Reece. You just know you'll have to play your back up for 20 games or so. The same can be said for Stones. He genuinely hasn't been fit for a season in 7 years. To Theo's point: If at the end of the 2002 season you would exclude R9 from the top 3 strikers in the world, you would not be wrong. He had played 18 league games in 3 years. This isn't a top 3 talent/potential list.

Follow a lot of Italian football, no Dimarco at left back but having Udogie is crazy, when Dimarco starts over him for the NAT

The injury argument means that Thiago should be in the midfield if it’s just talent and availability is not an issue

Araujo is definitely better than Kounde. Just admit you don't watch Barca, Tom. It's okay buddy.

Theo comes out with the most outrageous takes 😂 so as far as ball knowledge goes, his is in the bin lool

The disrespect on Grimaldo and Di Lorenzo to not get mentioned when they both have a shout for 1

You lot love a darwizzy thumbnail eyy! The goat brings clicks

How is Ruben Dias getting disrespected this much. 100% top 3 and I would have him number 1. Since he's arrived at city they have never lost the league and been to 2 ucl finals. Unreal CB and leader

I think people are writing him off a bit because of his performance against Chelsea but his girlfriend was attacked the day before the game. Understandable why his mind would be preoccupied with something else

City players are never rated for some reason😂 and then at the end of the season Everyone says it was predictable that they won the league because they’re the best in the world🤣🤣🤣 so people contradict themselves

​@@Prime1Wunna I Find that hilarious, for the past 3 years city have had the best defense in the league conceding the least goals in the prem and yet Dias gets no credit, poty in his first year and has been the best cb since his arrival in England and all rival fans do is say shit like ederson is overated because of the defense, the defense is overated as they have rodri, rodri is overated because they have that defense, kdb is overated because haaland, haaland is overated because of kdb, its stupid 😂😂😂

It was pretty agreed upon that Ledley King would have been the best CB in the league if not for his injuries, whenever he played he was clearly a level above. But when Reece James plays 16 games a season he's the best in the world

They’re talking heads who don’t know much but when they hear a bad take from Lewis they go crazy.

Pitch Side really do love Ranking

Thank you Tom saying that about Saka, arsenal fans talk about him like he puts the same numbers as Salah when he never gets near his numbers.

Pretty sure Messi still wipes the floor against those mentioned in the lists

He's chosen to play in a weaker league than the big four in Europe, so his performance becomes rather hard to compare.

Kvaratskhelia makes top 3 LW imo

Genius marketing move by Theo to make everyone miss the regular hosts 👍

@@steffanthomas707 seeing at my moms a pool fan and I’m a baggies fan. When I watch the premier league it’s mainly pool. He’s ABSOLUTELY nowhere near top 3 in the world. He’d be lucky to be top 10.

Tripper and Walker Not in top 3 is criminal

Lewis putting Alisson first is so funny when he put pope above him last season 😭😭 had a howler

Leaving VVD out of the top 3 cbs list is exactly why nobody listens to anything Lewis says

Reece James and Luke Shaw? Nah wtaf

Valverde has actually played in midfield this season, instead of RW which he did often last season. He’s now playing in his natural position (box-to-box MF) and has been Madrid's unsung hero so far.

You should do a pitch side react to best moments from the season!!

It's starting to annoy me how quick they jump down Lewis' throat man. He didn't say anything that outrageous in this video...

Reece James chat is woeful, he’s the best in the world on his day, but that is absolutely useless when you can only play 1 game in 5 and when you do can only last 75 minutes

Trent is easily the best RB in the world btw... he has better defensive stats then James and nobody is better than him going forward

It’s crazy to put James as no.1 RB in the world with the amount of minutes he plays. It’s nowhere near 5 full games

Have to agree with the Newcastle fan there is no way you can be the best in a position when you spend the most of time injured. Availability is always the best ability.

Argue this list with your cat cos this is spot on (based on FOOTBALLING ABILITY) GK: Alisson Courtois Ter Stegen RB: James Walker Hakimi CB: VVD Araujo Stones LB: Theo Shaw Balde CDM/CM: Rodri Kimmich Rice CAM: De Bruyne Bellingham Valverde RW: Salah Saka Rodrygo LW: Mbappe Vinicius Leao/ Kvara ST: Kane Haaland Lewandowski

Kane Haaland Griezman Salah Saka Sane Mbappe Vini Leao Kev de bruyne Bellingham Szobs Rodri Rice Kimmich Robo Grimaldo Theo Vvd Stones Saliba Aroujo Walker Trent Frimpong Alison Courteous Martinez

Personally I would say that the best player in a position, especially the defence is one who is regularly available.
