I'd say it's not a lot between lower table Spanish sides and their EPL counterparts. I think it's about even, maybe even with a slight edge for the La Liga teams. EPL has the edge for places 3-6 I think, or something like that. I think Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool are better than Sevilla, Villareal, Bilbao. Spain has the edge at the top, with Barca, Real, Atletico being better than any EPL team imo.

I agree with [MENTION=15376]DonAK[/MENTION], I think lower level EPL teams are overrated because they have more money. They may have money, but the technical level of their players is not as good as in La Liga, and the tactics can be very basic and even rudimentary at times.
And scouting at lower level epl clubs is terrible, so much money wasted on players bought on back of dvd clips and agent recommendations and not actually watching the player, quality of recruitment is largely abysmal

Nope, you are not too good. Yet they are too weak because of previous tv deal, where you got half of it while other 18 teams got the other half. you didn't give the chance to improve to them. Most teams are in financial difficulty thank to you and Real.

Sevilla is a L.City, Everton level team. They did amazing in EL in the past.

We have Arsenal, Chealse, M.City, M.United, Liverpool, Tottenham also stronger midtable and lowtable teams compared to A.Madrid who in declined since 2 years, Barca(who still a Messi depended team) and Real. you call this league as competitive? Come on. You can do better.

:lol::lol::lol:

I'm sure Atletico wouldn't have many problems dispatching West Brom or Stoke.

Real is better than any EPL team now. However we must not forget that their some key players are in declining. it will be very hard to replace them. l don't think Barca is better than M.City or Chealse now. A.Madrid is not the same team they were 2 years ago. Even Tottenham are better than them, with a coach who is close in quality to Simeone.

Let's compare Sevilla, Villareal and Bilbao with Everton, Sou and L.City.

with Messi has 2-3 years in highest level, l don't think your league is worthy rival for us.

l think you will join Ligue 1 soon.

Liverpool still couldn't beat Sevilla at home now even after they lost Sampaoli and key players. Tottenham are probably a bit better than Sevilla, but I don't think Liverpool are and they look very vulnerable in the league and are more prone to poor runs of form and losing to shite teams.

This is also the most flattering season for EPL in a while. 2013-17 Atleti and Sevilla are better than most of their best teams easily and there was literally no possible comparison between EPL and La Liga. Now things are more even as la liga has gotten weaker and EPL stronger after this summer window.

:lol:

joke way to compare leagues. Liverpool dominated and created many chances and Sevilla converted almost all chances they got. Liverpool was much better team. Betis won over Real 1 week ago, they are better than Real? you can't compare teams like this.

your league is so overrated because of some teams success in Europe. they know how to defence better than our teams. that's the truth.

But your success in Europe won't last forever. Messi has 2-3 years in high level, while Real's key players are started to decline. On the other hand, our teams are gettting better every year. now you overrated your league because of european success. you won't have it after 2-3 years. you will start to support EPL teams after 2-3 years. mark my words my friends.

Liverpool had been on the rise ever since you had the likes of Dirk Kuyt and Yossi Benayoun starting for you, in your own words! So please spare us this bull shit of EPL is on the rise!

Think Messi needs to prove himself in the EPL.

Messi doesn't need to prove himself anywhere he's been playing in the top level in the game for years and is far and away the GOAT. He has also made a complete mockery of every top English club he has played against.

Think Messi needs to prove himself in the EPL.

And then what? after that, you will all say that he needs to prove himself in the World Cup and Copa America. Even if he wins Copa America and Premier League title, haters will still say he needs to win a World Cup. It never ends.

I think he needs to prove himself in Dinamo Zagreb first. Let me see him scoring on a muddy Maksimir against Croatian butchers before I can consider him best. :smug:
