People really underestimating Chelsea. Can beat both Madrid and City. Already did beat the latter

They can beat City but that cup game was heavily rotated City side as well and Chelsea have shown their hand to Pep now of how will most likely play again.

Yeah it's true, City really defending greatly now. Love to see Walker, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko, Fernardinho defending like warriors! And celebrating like they scored after blocking!
Their star players running like crazy, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden...
Overall a team well drilled, always worrying about if they are in the right square meter of the pitch at any time, constantly finding the right angles with the ball and playing the obvious pass most of the time.

Forget the league table, Chelsea are the 2nd best team in England right now. They are capable of beating Real and City.

Yeah, he saw some flaws which he demanded him improving, constantly praising him in the press though. We are seeing his potential now more and more.
I see a lot of flaws in Pedris game, but Koeman doesn't seem to have anything to say about them...

I wonder if these posters saying Foden is obviously better than Pedri said the same just three months ago, when I got so criticized for pointing some of his mistakes out?
I think they are of roughly the same potential.

I definitely would. Maybe i'm biased because I'm English but I don't see anything from Pedri or any other youngster at Barca that shows signs of being as talented as Foden, they are talented yes. But this guy is on another level.

At 17 he was obviously more raw, but he was still immense and influential in winning the u17 world cup too for England.

Foden is a superior player to likes of Pedri and Puig on all levels. Even without the input from Pep, he is superior to them, especially athletically. He is more direct, faster, stronger, good with the ball and can shoot. Kid can do it all.

Yup, completely agree. I know it's nice to have these talented youngsters coming through at Barca but yeah Foden is top, top class.

You aren't biased, and this is coming from someone who isn't that big on English players with how hard they get hyped at times :lol:.

Since they are imo stylistically somewhat similar you really can see the things Pedri lacks when seeing Foden play. Obviously things can change fast in football but Foden is the much better player now.
