The difference between most of the top 10 midfielders and Jude is that they've let their presence known internationally on the biggest stage, in the UCL or WC. Jude did have a good WC, but he mostly stood out because he is a young talent and because he's english. You could even argue that Musiala and Pedri are currently better than him based on how they contributed to their team's succes and their achievements. Jude's biggest achievement is his move to Real Madrid, but that doesn't make him a top 10 player yet.

If you watch Bellingham on a consistent basis, you can tell he’s not a finished package yet. A lot of the times he’s caught in two minds (partially because at Dortmund he has to cover a lot of roles). He has amazing games, but like Dortmund themselves really struggles in moments that he should excel in. It might be down to age and the pressure that comes at Dortmund when it comes to their reputation as bottlers.

[@michaelfvt]

Because Tom got flustered when they asked what Jude can’t do, here is what he can’t do: - he doesn’t understand how to operate in small spaces when under pressure, he often gets into tough situations because his touch lets him down when he is pressed and gets bailed out because he is good in duels. Tom is right here, he isn’t good at picking the ball up from deep. - he can’t dictate tempo in the way Pedri, Gundo, VERRATTI, Kroos are able to. I remember he had

Overrating Odegard is so weird to the level where Bruno comparisons don't stand. Bruno Fernandes had record breaking goalscoring seasons, last season competed with Kdb on every metric of chance creation, topping some, scored one more than Kdb in the PL. He didn't have the striker to back it with assists. If Theo(who's probably only seen arsenal and England play) goes by Odergaard scoring most goals as a 10, then he should be above Kdb too.

[@tahmid3999]

@@jackwebb987 I don't think so, he obviously drops down whenever needed to and progress the ball, but so does Bruno. They're respectively both teams primary creators and best progressor, Ode is a much better carrier, Bruno is a much better passer. Both receive high alot too, there was a comparison graph between Kdb and these three by a good acc and they're incredibly similar, more so Ode and Bruno cause they drop more for United and arsenal, but Bruno is a much better chance creator while Odergaard a shooter. Bruno also outright played as a pivot player/6 behind Sabitzer when Casemiro was injured last season. I think Bruno's last season was insane creatively(backed up by underlying stats) but general consensus didn't see that cause he didn't have a finisher to convert his chances to goals. But Odergaard was close too, him Bruno Kdb top 3 attacking mids in the league. My issue was Theo dismissing Bruno so easily when it's so far from the truth.

well he somehow managed to make a list that's worse than theo's so idk

[@bigmanpods8562]

The fact that Theo can see this with a straight face is crazy, brings down Arsenal fans in general…No Verrati is horrendous by the way easily the most under appreciated Midfielder of our generation.

[@finerz9742]

When this was released toms top 10 was pretty accurate

[@cameronsmith7328]

It wasnt he had verrati in his team who has been bang average for psg for years

[@finerz9742]

@@cameronsmith7328and u don’t watch psg do u, he was class and Bellingham wasn’t doing what he is now for Madrid back at dortmund, he was part of a team that bottled the league and cried all game about it

[@cameronsmith7328]

@@finerz9742 bellingham is the top goal scorer in la liga and has won the kopa trophy while carrying madrid without a striker. Where is verratti? Got kicked out if psg for his laziness, poor fitness and a decent manager has realise hes bad now

Release the full podcast in this please !!!

[@alanmwenda2141]

how many are here after bellingham's stellar perfomances in real madrid

[@abdim123]

Bellingham being top 10 is insane. The guy plays in the budesliga and is also about to have a knee sugery at 19. He is also so overrated.

[@Akan123]

There's absolutely no reason for Modric to be that high anymore, I'd have Barella in my Top 10 & the 4 City Midfielders(KDB, Gundogan, B. Silva & Rodri) as my set in stone 5 then fill in the remaining positions

[@urbanflow9383]

How does Lewis ever get an opinion???😂😂

[@CriticallyAcclaimed]

@Pitch Side I don't understand why you don't edit your teams up on the screen as you list them, in post.

[@romn007]

Theo rating Odegaurd and Declan over Casemiro and Kimmich is criminal

[@Eclipse-pn1sq]

I feel like Tom rates Kimmicg so highly as well as rice and verratti over Bellingham is because he prefers a more defensive minded midfielder compared to players like Bellingham who pick up the ball and charge at players, also Bellingham’s underrated for his intensity when pressing to win back the ball.

[@De3dSh0t]

For me: 1) KDB 2) Rodri 3) Pedri 4) Modric 5) Gundo 6) Musiala 7) Kroos (how the fuck was he not mentioned btw??) 8) Kimmich 9) De Jong 10) Valverde 10th was close could've been Ødegaard, Casemiro and Camavinga as well

[@pranaycr7]

Luka Modric played the most games out of anyone in Europe's top 5 leagues. So that's why he was tired at the end of the season. He is still in the top 3 midfielders in the world.

[@zainshmed9928]

Great shout for Bruno, toms list is probably the best if he had Pedri in. Gundogan should be a bit higher than 8th, probably 5th

[@laila5061]

no bernardo silva and no pedri IS INSANE

[@genozide1996]

At the start it says full podcast on KZbin now? Anyone know where to find it?

[@rhysdavies8092]

Tom is the only one that has quite a far bit of ball knowledge which is what makes this podcast so entertaining. It’s so fun to listen to Theo Reev and this lewis fella’ outrageous takes

[@FrostSw1rl]

For me its: 1. KDB 2. Modric 3. Rodri 4. Bellingham 5. Valverde 6. Casemiro 7. Bernardo Silva 8. Odegaard 9. Gundogan 10. De Jong

[@abhinavkumar4086]

What baffles me is how is pedri not as high as Bellingham then ,cause he is more important player for a far better team in a better league

[@shesho6162]

Saying Jude Bellingham is a better midfielder than Kimmich has to be one of the worst takes ever on the show

[@biblical1694]

All this made me realise is how bad midfielders are now outside the top 2-3.

[@carlosh2050]

Tom took a big L in this one. Saying Bellingham won’t win a Balón dor but said before that John Stones could get one in the future. Classic English bias towards epl

[@timoteovalles724]

Crazy how twitter said Bellingham is better however KZbin is all against this

[@skoppe_8094]

No kroos is crazy, Pedri as well deserves a shout. Jude is easily becoming the most hyped up player in ages man

[@ianwathuku1870]

Theo is just dumb at this point. Arguing that Odegaard was better than Kimmich and Casemiro and he didn't win a cup is stupid. Also saying Bellingham is better than Casemiro is horrendous.

[@MrAxeluberlux]

Bellingham will be fantastic, isn't a top ten CM right now, but will be in the future! Also putting Bruno G there on the basis of Newcastle not being as good as the other teams when Paqueta and Fred start ahead of him for Brazil is bananas

[@andrewscott864]

No Musiala mention is crazy

[@michaelboiteau9890]

Tom is normally pretty decent but this was a shocker for him. He hasn't watch verrati in an age but it thinking it's still 3 years ago

[@davidplumstead2104]

The sarcasm with the Tom comments 🤣 Google’s top ten lists easily

[@metricer999]

should make a managers XI (not including pro footballers that have managed for like a year or 2 (like ole, or viera)

[@notanotter3505]

Camavinga, Musiala, Pedri and Enzo are all better than Jude

[@Celticgoingtowinthechampions]

To true hate the English

[@jamescooper3739]

This could be an all timer clip to return to if jude does win a balon dor 😂

[@sheep3322]

Where was Barella in ur lists?!?!

[@rupensabharwal9242]

Bellingham is top 10, verrati has faded Pedri is close to bellingham and they’re forgetting Jamaal muslia

[@abhinavkumar4086]

Unpopular opinion, modric shouldn't be that high, Kross was better last season and modric had many average and pood performances ( he did have two or three great ones like Chelsea and all) also where is Bernardo in everyone else's team

[@fritos6064]

Cant wait for everyone to watch el clasicco next season and see how many miles clear pedri is of bellingham
