Not started yet but presumbaly Lewis' list is:
10.Lewis Hall
9. Joe Willock
8. Jonjo Shelvey
7. Lee Bowyer
6. Ant
5. Dec
4. The rest of Biker Grove
3. Paul Gascgoine
2. Angel of the North
1. Sean Longstaff.
True Georgie absolutely robbed imo
@@mattyguest3761dildo basher
Im not having Ant ahead of Willock.
Angel of the north Hahahah
Willne plays golf
I swear Lewis was hired as he's the only person alive that can make Theo look relatively unbiased in comparison
@_K-I-N-G_can’t spell it without w either
Or clever
he was hired to increase the views on this channel which is working tbf
@@GayleemLouis, can have the same pronunciation
I respect how much slack and banter Theo takes. It's crazy... man takes it on the chin.
No he doesn’t he gets proper pissed off 😂
He is being sarcastic mate 😂
Wouldn’t need to if he didn’t have negative ball knowledge. What a stinker 😂😂
He does has Down syndrome tbf
Theo lost his head that day 😂😂 proper sulking
That "HEATED" is an instant selling point
Tom can be insufferable. Even when he has a point, he is sometimes outed as being hypocritical in his way of building lists, and then his arguments are reduced to extremely immature rhetoric.
It's a shame, because he is often the one with the most unbiased and insightful opinions. The side of him that says "Yeah, you're right" sarcastically instead of answering and indulging in discussion needs a smack across the head. The unbiased, understanding and debating side needs a handshake and a raise.
Is Tom the guy with the Beard and Cap ? If so I was looking for a comment, first time watching and never seen a more unlikeable person in one video..
@@LordSeth-hf8ew found lewis's burner account
Because he has to deal with Theo 😂 you try arguing with a brick wall like Theo
This still isnt his worst longstaff take. Remember when he put him in team of the season so far? Ahead of rodri who is almost 40 games unbeaten for city 😭😭😭
Fast forward to the review against Arsenal he said Sean Longstaff is dreadful
It’s a terrible take tho, Longstaff is nowhere near as good of a footballer as JWP
Think people forget how good Jacob Ramsey is. Injuries this season are holding him back at the moment.
I agree
I’ve seen the light Theo is hilarious when you don’t take him seriously
He's always been funny the Garrat Goblins just hate on him
Gallagher is a top 5 English cm this season. He’s been nothing short of class
They’re on the same points as Brentford…
@benmapstone3818 so does that make Ansu Fati better than Sterling? Fantastic logic there Ben
Imo Connor is top 3 at the moment. He has shown consistent brilliant performances all season
@@theodorbolwiglillieborg1187 so he's better than either Madison or rice who are the probably the most important players on their team rn?
@@bubbastrick5377he has better stats this season than rice can't argue with facts
Trent is a midfielder for England. He plays in midfield for England. I disagree with the stones shout as he starts cb and moves into midfield. Trent literally starts CM for England. Hate to say it but this is a Tom L and Theo dub for once
I agree, if Tom is using the argument for Phillips saying he starts for England there, then it's the same for Trent who starts in the 8 for England
Does he? He's started one game in midfield. May as well put Leon Osman in there.
@@toffeefinbar 2 actually. And since then started 1 at right back because of a lack of fit fullbacks. He’s also listed as a midfielder
@@LordSeth-hf8ew and Phillips has barely played football at all for the last 3 years. So the point is valid
@@toffeefinbar Bro in the last year he has gotten motm every game he's played for England in midfield
Trent has more technical ability in his pinky toe than Gallagher ill ever have
trent is cross merchant
but technial abitly isn't everything, Gallagher is a better midfielder then Trent, better box to box, better defending, trent has better vision and pasing no doubt about it. but if you have wathed Gallagher this season he has been everywhere on the pitch. Trent is unfortunate to be the 3rd best full back england has that's why Southgate are moving him to midfield
@@mazdak500 Literally just named a technical ability you clown hahaha
Trent just plays beautiful football man
I'd take gallagher in my team and im an arsenal fan. SO theres no bias here. Trent is a bum for a top team unless you literally build around him. So no one will take him as they wont want to build around a RB. He's perfect for liverpool just leave him there. He would not thrive outside of that enviroment.
Really struggle to see what Sean Longstaff does that any midfielder in the prem doesn't do, he's a workhorse that's about it guys not got a clue
He's the clue he's the micheal Carrick don't notice it till he's not there players that make you tick BTW not at all saying top 5
Curtis jones has been immense since the end of last season, our midfield is way better when he plays
Edit: Gallagher has also been very good this season, he has improved a ton
Trent’s definitely top 5 English midfielders he’s played there 3-4 times for England and got MOTM every single time his passing ability is better than the whole team put together
In 10 years time he would gone down midfield player
It's just blatant Liverpool hate tbh. The only players they rate from Liverpool are the ones who are impossible not to as they are so far ahead of the rest (that being Alisson and Salah). Even when Van Dijk for a season went below being the best defender in the world (btw still top 3 defenders itl last season) people started calling him washed
@@petermarckmann9046it’s not tho . How many times us Trent played CM ?
@@Kronthedon2333best player this game and almost every other recent game. Technically speaking playing out of position. I’m stretching it there but still
@@ardakz4867 he weren’t the best player last night . He’s got loads of talent but he’s never really done it at CM. RB defo .
If Trent is a midfielder he is definitely a top 5 midfielder for England
So why the fuck then klopp doesn't play him their ?
because no one in liverpool can play a good rb@@malshithavimukthi6025
@@malshithavimukthi6025 because a) we don’t have right backs and b) our midfield has Szobo and Mac Allister who would be top 5 in england team as well haha
@@theodosiepaul8117 I agree, I think Liverpool should buy new rb and create new position for Trent, purely a creative position where he has freedom and can do whatever
@@theodosiepaul8117can't shift Szbonge bob and Mac Allister but is top 5 apparently
Theo’s shouts ain’t even bad Trent and John stones can easily play in midfield better than a lot of current midfielders because of how good they are
Curtis Jones has been criminally underrated in this list. He’s probably been one of Liverpool’s most important players this season. Constantly goes under the radar because he’s not as exciting as an Eze or someone of a similar ilk.
Definitely has not been our most important player this season
He’s not been top 5 most important players he’s missed half the games. Great player, makes it into the top 5 for me but lets relax
@@tord2354he’s been extremely important wtf are you on, our midfield sorely misses him, he’s so good at keeping the ball and making progressive passes
@@briton3851 and look at our points total in the games he’s played compared to the games he hasn’t played. I prefer not to speak 🙈
So Curtis Jones is more important than Mo Salah??
Honourable mention of RLC, shame he didn’t work at Chelsea with his injuries. Him under Sarri was a proper midfielder
Agreed
Gallagher is top 4 at current state
that's not the point of the list though, i agree however
@@filly8105 I don’t get what they are judging it off then, surely form is the key factor
He's not better the eze,jwp,bellingham,rice or madison so how can he be top 4
@@itshurtt395 he’s currently better than Eze and bar set pieces in having Gallagher over Jwp every day of the week
@@jackparrish5380 he's doing good in Chelsea but that doesn't mean he's currently better then eze you could say "hes currently in better form". If eze was playing his position he be just as class if not better.
Secondly the fact that you think jwp is only better at set pieces shows that you just have never watched him in West ham rn.
Theo‘s list is actually the best one.
Trent is easily a top 5 England midfielder and there is a reason why he is getting utilized that way for the national team now and John Stones honestly is as well. In possession he anyways already plays in midfield for City and bar 2-3 players from this list nobody could that play that role better than him.
theyre both not midfielders. were kane or messi midfielders when they were leading the line but dropping to their dm to pick up the ball? exactly. same logic for trent and stones
First of all, Trent and Stones have already played in midfield multiple times. Messi and Kane haven't, not to mention that they simply don't have the workmate to do so either.
I'm also not saying that Trent and Stones would be world class midfielders, but they definitely deserve to be around that Number 5 range for Englands, especially considering how weak those lists were from spots 5-10. @@adambassuni6084
@@adambassuni6084 except stones starts in midfield and Trent does for england
@@mikaelious7464so what’s the logic behind it? For one player you use the argument of starting for his club but for the other you say he starts for his country. It’s one or the other, and at the end of the day, neither of them are midfielders
Tom might just be the most jarring human being I've ever seen with the way he acts.
We really need Reevs dog to make a list, it has to be better than the crap the guys comes up with.
At this point I think Lewis is just doing it on purpose to wind Tom up
Curtis Jones is way better than Philips
For once I think Theo might be right. Stones is easily top 5 cause he plays cdm now and Trent is top 10 cause he can play in midfield and he is better in midfield then most the players at the bottom of the others list. Rare Theo W
He doesn’t play DM though?
@@charlienewman5536he literally tucks in and plays cm/cdm. Maybe watch the games before commenting
On what basis is Trent top 10 when he’s played about 2 games in midfield, one being against Malta
@@jackcollins1because our other options are dreadful so it’s very easy for him to top 10.
@@jackcollins1who tf is better than him, gibbs white? He offers better passing than James ward prowse
Longstaff above Gallagher is a joke, if Gallagher joined Newcastle longstaff wouldn’t get a game ahead of him
Jones was literally in england u21s best 2 players when they won the euros in the summer.
Theo having Elliott in his top 10 but not Jones is laughable to people who actually watch us. Elliott isn't even a starter, while Jones has been one of our better players in 2023.
Jacob Ramsey was arguably England U21's best player above Jones and Elliott until his injury but he only made 1 out of the 4 lists
@@Ben-gd4db he's barely been a starter for the U21 team? Don't think there was ever a time he was regarded as their best player. Gibbs-White and Gomes have been better than him.
@@kriissyy09ifyElliott is average tbh
@@Ben-gd4dbare you basing that on reading the names of the squad? In the actual tournament, from those who played, palmer and jones were comfortably the best across all games
Garret L, Connor gallagah that low is crazy
He’s crap. Hendo 2.0. running merchant
Gallagher is so overrated, I don’t get the hype. Mctominay runs around a lot as well btw but don’t people saying he’s a good player.
@@Maple_T29You really dont watch football, do you? Dear me
Rare L
@@ryanyates4124 tell me what he does besides running around a lot😂 let’s not pretend he’s now world class bcos he had a decent game against Man City. Havertz got an assist against Man City so by your standards he’s the best German midfielder now then?😂 better than kimmich, Goretzka, muller, musiala
this idea that stones plays cdm is mental to me. He doesnt, he plays cb and steps into midfield during possesion to help progress the play. Hes a centre back, not a cdm. Trent is slightly less egregious, but hes still not a midfielder, hes a rb by trade.
Well no Trent isn’t technically a rb by trade he’s just forced to play there because he can impact the game in a diff way to midfielders from that wider position and because Liverpool don’t have someone half as good as him to play rb. Not to mention in the academy Trent was a cm and he was captain the only reason he became an rb is bc Klopp thought he wasn’t built for a cm like physicality wise since he was skinny and not as strong he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to hold up in that position and figured he’d have a better time breaking into the team because they needed a rb more then a cm. But obviously now he’s grown physically and his technique is insane he’s started to play at cm more like last season he did so for 10-15 games. This year he’s just been slotting into the cm role when they have possession or they are loosing a game. But I expect he’ll play cm a lot more later this year and that will probs be his position in a few years.
@@dyl3291 the reason he played midfield last season was because of a complete lack of top level midfielders for liverpool last year. Trent has spent the vast majority of his top flight player playing rb, that makes him a rb by trade.
i love how passionately he argue about TTA being a CM
JJ Ramsey being in Reev’s list is maybe the best feature of ball knowledge ever on this podcast. Undoubtedly the best young English midfielder after Jude Bellingham
How on earth would Trent not be a top 10🤣
everytime he plays for england he gets potm england fans are so embarrassing
Gallagher has more ball recoverys, more tackles won, more chances created, more interceptions than rice this season put respect on his name he is top 5 for sure
Conor Gallagher has won possession in the attacking third more times (20) than any other player in Europe's top seven leagues so far this season (he's also created twice as many chances as golden boy Declan Rice)
Funny how Tom can rate kalvin in the English team as a CM but Theo can’t rate Trent as a CM in the English team
gallagher outside the top 5 is crazy
For an average player who was dogshit last season
dogshit? delusional bud@@unclebensrice4702
@@unclebensrice4702 good thing this is for this season then isnt it you subhuman
no it isn't. chelsea are struggling and gallagher is part of that struggle, he lacks offensive creativity and doesn't add much defensively. his passing is average and he can't break up lines with long passes. he is pretty basic really.
Is it only me who thinks other than the omission of JWP Theo’s is by far the best list
How have they forgotten Foden and not being slated for it, easy top 5 and Trent is by far the most naturally gifted player of the lot and for England plays midfield and an inverted full back/ midfielder for Liverpool. Won multiple motms, best player on the list with Bellingham the only exception!
Theo admits he’s had a howler but then continues to argue that he’s got his list right wtf 😂😂
David james played upfront for city in a game, got a pen then took out two players with a volley
The thing is right, Theo’s points can actually be backed up and proven right but his neurones just aren’t firing quick enough to make Trent look better than Eze or Gallagher or Ward Prowse
Why is Havertz and gvardiol in the thumbnail 😂
Theo’s list is by far the best lmao
How can reev class stones as a midfielder because he starts at centre back then moves into midfield but doesn’t class trent as a midfielder even tho he starts at right back for Liverpool then moves into midfield as well as actually starting cm for ENGLAND
If Stones and Trent are midfielders in Theo's mind does that make Zinchenko, Udogie, Porro and Cancelo all centre mids because they all move into midfield from their original position??
Zinchenko is a horrible example to use for your point given he also plays in midfield for his country the same as Trent
Stones and Trent actually play in midfield not hard is it
Are you mental? All Stones, Trent and Zinchenko have clearly played as midfielders… not even a comparison can be made
6 mins and i only just noticed the dog, best part of the video easily
Phillips and jones over Gallagher rn is crazy
A fit Jacob Ramsey is comfortably in this list !
I’d love to see where they would rank Kobbie in the next few months
Lewis was chatting pure garbage about Longstaff being better than Odegaard.
Odegaard stats this season: 14 appearances: 5 goals, 1 assist. Less minutes as well.
Longstaff stats this season: 17 appearances 3 goals, 1 assist.
Kalvin Phillips "starts for England" played a combined what 40 minutes at the World Cup, whereas Jordan Henderson started against Senegal, scored against Senegal and started against France.
Tom Garratt yet again thinking speaking over everyone and in a very patronising way makes him right, West Brom bastard
Fax, if Tom is using the argument for Phillips saying he starts for England there, then it's the same for Trent who starts in the 8 for England
Jacob Ramsey is unreal
Theo's logic doesn't make sense. John Stones doesn't play CM/CDM for England. And Trent doesn't play CM for Liverpool. Choose one or the other.
Trent doesn’t play cm for Liverpool because they have enough midfielders and they don’t have a RB rn
Theo’s argument:
Stones best holding midfielder for City. But never plays there for England.
TAA ‘best number 8 for England’, but doesn’t play for Liverpool. Which is it.
Ramsey is so underrated
Longstaff over ward prowse , Lewis is the gift that keeps on giving 😂😂😂😂
Jacob Ramsey is so slept on
Harvey Elliot is clear of longstaff😂😂😂😂
He definitely is
Trent played cm against Moldova or something once. John stones starts at cb and is a defender in the England call uo
Saying Longstaff is a better midfielder than James Ward-Prowse, is so mental that Lewis MUST be in a home before the coming weekend...
Why are Havertz and Gvardiol in the thumbnail haha
Tom doesn’t let anybody talk 😂😂
This one had me cracking up
Gallagher is better than 9th, thats shocking having curtis jones and kalvin phillips over him 😂
You haven't watched Jones in 2023 if you think that's shocking.
@@kriissyy09ify RLC is having a better season than Jones
@@vPzWalkerx a lot of PL rejects play well in Serie A.
Theo has a point 👍🏽
Can use the same argument for Trent. Theo said stones is better than Phillips because he starts ahead of him but then you can say jones and Elliot are better than Trent because they start in midfield instead of him. Same thing
Honestly longstaff gets so overrated by us Newcastle fans he such a bang average midfielder if he won’t a local boy people wouldn’t be raving about him
Wtf no, stop smoking. He gets balls and pulls the attack, he defends good and scores bangers. Very UNDERRATES
@@captainfish6056 sure buddy
@@captainfish6056 lad he shit you don't watch every game like I do
People putting Gallahgher not in top 5 is insane, he is quality just the other day he played incredible against city.
usually all for theo slander but if he had JWP his list would be spot on, midfield is a wide range of different positions and skillsets and Stones and Trent deserve to be included ahead of the likes of Willock, Elliot, Jones, Eze etc - different levels and calibre of players
Theo for the first time has the best list
Hahahahhahhaahh Theo can’t take anyone disagreeing with him, absolutely brilliant
does it bug anyone else that reev looks at theos list before hes finished it or is it just me
Nostalgia merchant here:
Doing this list from 2009
1. Gerrard
2. Lampard
3. Scholes
4. Carrick
5. Barry
6. Jenas
7. Parker
8. Huddleston
9. Hargreaves
10. Nolan
The disrespect on Connor Gallagher is truly outrageous😔
Ramsdale, Trippier, Tomori, Stones, White, Reece, Rice, Jude, Foden, Kane, Saka
how Theo and lewis are on a football podcast baffles me
Theo literally says Gallagher is a better CM right now than Eze due to his season, but then puts Trent 5th even though he played like 1 friendly for England in CM.. just contradicts himself once again 🤣
How's that contradictory
@@unclebensrice4702 well if one is better purely based off this season, than how can someone who’s only played 1 game this season in CM be better than both?
@@m74bg64the same reason you can say Stones is the best CB back even though he’s been mainly injured this season
1 is world class, 2 and 3 are very very good, 4-10 are all average so you could change them around on a game by game basis.
rank top 10 english left backs. if someone includes leif davis they have the best ball knowledge
How can Gallagher under Curtis jones. He has played over 25 games for 4 seasons in prem for west brom, palace and chelsea. This season he has been chelseas best player. Elite numbers and consistently performing.
How can James be above Trent when James plays 50% of available games for Chelsea and has less appearances then Trent each season??
HEATED means
toms annoyed
Toms right Phillips is best English cdm on his day was quality in euros
Lewis was asked to say why Longstaff is a better footballer than JWP without mentioning opinion and the first thing he says is you all underrate him. Lewis makes Theo look like he knows ball and he had a RB and CB in his top 5 😂😂
Bro the dog just spawned on carrot top’s lap
Lowkey theo W
Mad no shout for Ruben loftus-cheek
Curtis jones is one of Liverpools most underrated players
Theo uses the argument that trent is picked as a midfielder then instantly puts stones ahead despite him being picked as a cb. Going against himself instantly😂🤯
John stone is a centre back, who goes forward when we’re on the attack. He ain’t a midfielder dropping back.
With Theo's logic. Kane is England's best forward, midfielder and probably top 5 defenders
Cole palmer definitely a shout
He is a winger / Centre Forward tho
Theo is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
How can they argue with Tom about Phillips he’d start for most teams in the prem
1) Bellingham
2) Maddison
3) Rice
4) Foden
5) Ward-Prowse
6) Gibbs-White
7) Eze
8) Ramsey
9) Willock
10) Gallagher
Why is James Maddison up there as a Cam and not Bruno Fernandes
10. Ramsey, 9. Kalvin Phillips, 8. Ruben Loftus Cheek, 7. Long staff, 6. JWP, 5. Conor Gallagher, 4. Eze, 3. Madison, 2. Rice, 1. Jude
Honourable mentions: Smith Rowe
Actually really rate the Ruben shout. He’s been playing pretty well for Milan
No Jones??
so foden ain't even an honourable mention but smith rowe is l. Nice list
the thing is, this lewis
broski is actually serious
Trent is listed as a midfielder by their national manager, goes back to video about overrated players, where they said mings is overrated because he is picked by national manager it’s the same difference
i think theo has the best list
1. Jude… Obviously
2. Rice… Could move Maddison up, still comfortably top 3 tho
3. Madison… Could be 2nd, still top 3
4. Trent… A more proactive coach would start Trent in Englands mid… Liverpool play so differently that RB works for Trent… World Class talent
5. JWP… Good at everything… Good, not great… World Class free kicks
6. Stones… If he’s eligible he’s in the top 10
7. Jones… Very underrated, improving all the time
8. Eze… Potential wise could be much higher but unproven at the highest level, I have high hopes for him
9. Gallagher… Very good player, I just can’t imagine a world where he’s starting for England if everyone is fit and don’t see him getting much better
10. Elliot… If he was to move to a side like a Brighton or Villa and play every week Harvey would be much higher rated, recognition wise it hurts him that he is rotated and used as an impact sub… but he’s a kid… loads of time to improve
Longstaff is running hot… average player at best.
Also ahead of Longstaff;
Mount… He’s fallen off a cliff but is still looking down at Longstaff who’s mulling around base camp
Phillips… I’ve never seen anything incredible from KP, but he’s safe and boring… not an insult, that’s his job
Henderson… Even now he’s playing for crowds of twenty he’s still better than Longstaff
Wilock… An above average player
Foden… Obviously a guarantee in with the forwards but could do bits in midfield
Gallagher always 1st pick start my bro
