You're insane. It's not always about pace or stepovers, it's about being a killer, and he's the best there is at finding space and exploiting the weaknesses of his opponent.

Germanys best attacking player imo. The guy is just so efficient.

The top 10 was as expected, the one I missed was Neymar! Lahm and Muller were in it

maybe i am. i just think muller will only ever be as good as the team he's in, he wouldn't stand out if he played for schalke for example, he just does a really good job for the team. i wouldn't even consider him our best player if he were to join spurs.

Ha, now I know you've been on the Xmas sherry.

Seriously, it's a bit like Iniesta at Barca, you could say at a poorer team, he doesn't score much or assist much. Would he have an effect without brilliant players around him? He's that good we'll never get to see him slumming it though....

i don't think he's as talented as eriksen, no. i find the thought of muller being rated alongside or higher than the likes of bale, neymar, suarez, aguero etc about as laughable as you probably find my opinion, it's utterly ludicrous to me.

I'll put my spurs hat on and say that there is the usual spurs bias in that list. I think Eriksen has had a pretty good year all in all and is easily the equal of many of those in the 50-100 bracket. Plus, Lloris should be waaaay higher, and if he was wearing a Utd shirt, he would be.

Muller is like the absolute opposite of Dembele - his single greatest asset that makes up for his technical and athletic deficiencies is the squidgy thing between his ears.

I'm sorry but Eriksen is nowhere near Muller's level yet. He'll be better though in the future.
