Nope. Not even close. And I doubt you'd find any city fans who'd want to.

i know one, not just a fan either, but was also a shareholder prior to the oil overlords taking over

I'd agree with that. He's a more complete and consistent player I reckon. The times I've seen him play, I can't think of him having a bad game. The way he reads everything is incredible, and I don't think I've seen a better passer of the ball since Pirlo.

I mean, Salah's a great player. I'd swap him for Grealish or Mahrez, sure. And Sterling or Jesus now departed. So it's not an anti Salah thing.

But DeBruyne is on another level entirely, and beyond his individual talent, drives the whole team in a way I've never seen Salah do.

another player from the golden group of belgian players....that has helped belgium win absolutley nothing. The same that was said about the golden age of england players with beckham, gerrard, lampard, scholes, rooney etc etc etc

and was part of the belgium team knocked out of the euro's by wales in 2016......

A top premier league player, but doesnt cut it on the international stage

I think Salah's sensational, just offering some balance

I have been watching the women euro cup and came to this conclusion:
- they are very skillful and play to a high standard.
- they don't role in agony when they fall on the floor.
- they don't constantly argue with every referee's decision.
- they don't get paid millions but just love their sport.
So, I think men players could learn a lot from them and they deserve more public support.
I look forward to the France - England game in the final as they are both excellent teams.

Pretty similar take to my own.

The goalkeepers are pretty hopeless with a few notable exceptions.

I agree its a lot more watchable than the men's games.

The goal keepers aren't 6"5' so have a lot more work to do to cover the goal....
