Best Midfield in the World
LFC fans used to sing of having the best MF in the world with Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard and Momo Sissoko.
Which team can claim this today?
IMO it has to be Madrid: Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Isco, Kovacic, Llorente, and now Ceballos .

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Yes, they have the best midfield. Barca will likely still outplay them though...I wish Ceballos had signed for Barca sha but that was always remote given his dislike for the entire Catalonia separatist movement.

Re: Best Midfield in the World
Hard to see past Real Madrid. Bayern has a really good one too....thiago, rudy, tolisso, vidal, kimmich, renato sanches. Also, while BVB's team is young, I really really like the talent there (pulisic, bender, sahin, mor, gotze, guerreiro, dahoud).
I like Napoli's midfield as well but it's thin.
This is a really tricky question txj. Hard to go past Madrid though, based on past performance. It's one thing having the individuals, it's another thing getting them to play as a unit and Real has past precedence working on their behest.

Re: Best Midfield in the World
Or perhaps due to the fact that madrid has a better team, and is absolutely more stable? Why would anyone who has the chance to sign for madrid even consider that instability that is Barca?Skylolo wrote:So they got this kid, and for 18M euros as well....wow.txj wrote:LFC fans used to sing of having the best MF in the world with Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard and Momo Sissoko.

Re: Best Midfield in the World
@Tx, granted Madrid may have the best midfield, but what of the best defence and attack, who tops these pops?

We'll probably need a separate mess hall for our midfielders.spastic wrote:Madrid. With or Without Ceballos. BTW while Liverpool used to sing they had the. best midfield in the world. They didn't!!!
It was that the pasillo was followed by a paseo - a walk in the park. That Madrid ran out 4-1 winners and lead Barcelona by 17 points, that Barcelona can no longer get second place and could only watch as Ruud van Nistelrooy and Higuaín scored with their first touches, as Mahamadou Diarra ran rings around their midfield and as the Bernabéu roared "¡olé!" That Joan Laporta listened to fans - Madrid fans - chanting: "Laporta please stay!"
