People need to learn to separate the TALENT and the PRODUCT. TALENT wise Neymar is up there with the best of em, prime Messi, Mbappe, prime Ronaldo etc. PRODUCT wise he doesn't lace their boots. Matter of fact like the guy on the left said, he doesn't get into City's team. Yeah he's more naturally talented than Sterling, Grealish Bernardo etc, but when its a battle at Anfield do you want Neymar in your team? Is he going to pull up his socks and do the dirty work? Or just moan at the ref? He doesn't get into Liverpool's team either for the same reason. A lot of what makes Pool good is the press, Neymar isnt pressing anyone on the pitch. Klopp would want to rip his head off. I'd happily take Mane, Salah or Jota over him ANY day. I believe Neymar is one of if not the most naturally talented footballers born in the last 30 years. BUT he's never done enough of note to get put in with the likes of Messi, Benzema, Lewa, CR7. All the talent in the world and the wrong attitude has hampered his career.

As for injuries, just in the league alone he has only 83 played out 179 league games since he joined PSG. That's far less than 50%. He has been injury prone ever since he joined them.

@@V1CALMIGH7Y no he didn't. He gave up on the halfway line and passed the buck. That's the definition of not sacrificing and putting your body on the line for the team. Again it's there on video. When Modric makes the final pass, neither him or Messi are in the picture. Both are probably still walking right now. You said he has been injured a lot these last 2 seasons. In actual fact he has been injured a lot in all 5 seasons. He hasn't played in 96 games, that's an average of 20 league games per season since he joined PSG. That's an awful record and just because of that, makes his transfer one of the worst I have seen.

[@pfft5795]

Rarely agree with Cundy, but I do this time. Neymar has always been overrated because of his raw technical ability. He is not a team player and he does not walk into any team in the world apart from PSG because it's a team built around image hense why they struggle. Neymar would rather shoot than pass and would rather dive than run. O'Hara comparing him to Grealish is a bit silly because Grealish constantly gets benched. Pep never plays the same team twice in a row and even with Neymar there, that would not change. In fact, Neymar might have the same role as Grealish does at the moment. As for Liverpool, Neymar would not be able to replace even Jota, not because Jota is a better footballer than Neymar, but because Jota fits much better in their system. Neymar is a high rated real life FIFA card that has red links all around it but you still use it because of the stats.

I'm not saying Mbappe isn't good, he is. But he's far too overrated IMO. Just like Neymar was! I remember the first two years after he left Santos. He was incredible! But for how long? Definitely not two decades! Maybe when Mbappe reaches 25-27, he'll be much more mature and develop his game with the right attitude and go to a Prem team and be the star man. Rn, Mbappe isn't ready for a Liverpool or City etc. But if he has the right attitude he could be in the future. Football fans are like little excited children. Overhype players until they don't reach the expectations then they forget about them and wagon on the next rising star!

@@fe567 first off you don’t accomplish what Mbappe has done at 23 without having “the right attitude”. Saying what Messi/Ronaldo did on the pitch “is something we’ve never seen before” is peak ignorance and a great disrespect to the likes of Maradona, Ronaldinho and R9 who were much more talented than cr7, this even close.Yes they stayed consistent for longer periods btw with far better technology than legends in the past and scored more goals but in a given day Ronaldo hasn’t done anything we’ve never seen before; Maradona didn’t turn up in the World Cup to be this disrespected. As for Messi he’s scored goals only a few players will ever do but not something “we’ll never see”. Mbappe at 23 is a better forward than Ronaldo; not saying he will be better but if he keeps improving which he has been adding many different aspects to his game, he will surpass Ronaldo. Ronaldo is just goal records which can be broken with dedication, for example someone like Haaland. Messi on the other hand is a bit different with his ability and completeness and most likely won’t be surpassed for a very long time.

[@Franciscus12]

@@fe567 isn’t ready for Liverpool where forwards with no technical ability like Jota do nothing offensively for most of the game and scores a lucky goal, lmao. Mahrez is the only one close to Mbappe’s level in city’s attack, they heavily depend on the midfield to deliver which is why Gundogan was their top scorer

[@ND9HighlightsComps]

Horrible take! Mbappe is otw to Real and will cement his legacy with a UCL win at some point. He's carrying a team with Neymar and Messi at age 23. Has Neymar done that? He also won the World Cup at 19. If anything Mbappé will be considered better than Pele

[@Guilherme-wh7mc]

I agree with Jason, never seen the hype about him

he is better then Ronaldinho

[@sanjd6882]

You can absolutely blame Neymar (and Messi and Mbappe) for how bad PSG's defending is. You can't defend with 7 players at elite level and consistently hope to succeed. It's astonishing PSG haven't worked that out.

[@bbsheppo]

I'm with Cundy on this. All he does is waves his arms around on the pitch blaming his team.

[@bengreen9967]

Cundy is bang on. I can't believe I've even said that but he is. He's unbelievable talented but his ego.. attitude and work rate has held him back. He wouldn't get anywhere near a Brazilian all time 11

[@scottxtapes9743]

Brazilian footballers have never been known for their longevity, but the likes of R9, Ronaldinho and Kaka. Had still more of a impact on the game than him.

Jason is right! No way does Neymar ever get into Brazils greatest XI Front 4 would be Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Romario As a 3 it would be Pele, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho And thats still excluding Rivaldo who gets ib ahead of Neymar for me

[@stanleye9721]

Ok, as a City fan I'm still to warm up to Jack Grealish and he may not be as talented as Neymar but I can't have anyone compare his workrate to Neymar. Grealish is spotless in his tracking back and that's the reason he's started both games against Chelsea and against Liverpool at Anfield. The lad played for Aston Villa and anyone who knows anything about the championship will know that no player succeeds there unless they are hardworkers. So in terms of workrate, there's no comparison between Grealish and Neymar

[@marvellousdazza2836]

100% Jason is spot on with this, he’s been lauded as the 3rd best player of his generation behind Messi and Ronaldo but he is NOWHERE near that level, he’s definitely not the 3rd best player of his generation. He’s a very good player but he’s not at the same level as Salah, Lewandowski, Mbappe, Haaland, Benzema even the likes of Mane, Son etc all put up better numbers than him over the past few seasons and they do it in a far tougher league! Neymar has scored 4 goals this season.. Put that in perspective with the likes of Lewandowski who’s scored 42, Benzema 30, Salah 27, Mbappe 25, Haaland 23 etc.. He’s a MILLION MILES off these guys, he’s a flashy player but he’s not an effective player and he’s not reliable. He’s nowhere near consistent enough to be considered an all time elite player.

[@007Fusiion]

Who is the third best player of his generation? I’m discounting anyone born after 1994 (28 and under).

Neymar is not a team player. Messi always depressed

[@masonnealgrove7595]

I think at one time he was the 3rd best player in the world but injury’s has massively affected him and he’s had too many.

[@osr4152]

If this season has taught us anything, with the debates around Ronaldo, it is that the current elite managers need team players who press and work as part of the system. For that reason Neymar would not improve Man city, Liverpool, Chelsea etc

[@calum1987]

Neymar hasn't played more than 20 league games a season for PSG since he signed for them, so he's either too injury prone or can't be arsed!!

Among the current top 3 in prem, he’d only not start for Liverpool. He would definitely start at in the LW for Man City and Chelsea though.

[@johnmcintosh5413]

No doubt he’s a great talent let’s not kid ourselves it’s his personality and bad media that maybe questionable as to why people like him or not but yes I would say he can walk into any team in the world , but definitely not in my top Brazilian eleven but then I’m in my 60’s so I can remember more greats .

[@joehanley8322]

The only way Neymar gets in a best Brazilian team of all time is either he makes the list himself or he volunteers as ballboy.

[@danielhilsdon2043]

I agree he wouldn't get in the starting 11 for all time Brazil as you did have some world class players in the past and I can only remember from the Ronaldo days, so may be even more before my time , but the fact he's the 3rd all time scorers for them I do think he makes the bench

[@ashleywhatley8238]

O'Hara is so funny, in no way would Klopp or Guardiola want Neymar in their side. Yet he's wearing this mystified look upon his face, almost like he can't quite believe what he's hearing. Despite it being obvious that both managers preference for substance to accompanying that style

[@rtm7946]

Football is all about mindset and management. The team is a representation of the manager. PSG cant win with mediocre coaches. Luis Enrique got the best out of Messi Neymar Suarez by drilling them to press. Pep does the same at any club he goes. You’re only as good as your Teacher. Poch did get unlucky with the offside goals and lets be honest benzema did foul the keeper for the first goal. PSG was in control for 65 minutes, the coach didn’t adapt tactically. Players will do what they want unless you drill them every session, I couldn’t picture Poch shouting messi and neymar lol

[@duran9664]

Romario is the best Brazilian attacker in history. Period.

[@No_lie_eli]

Neymar wouldn’t make the all time Brazil 11. And neither Liverpool nor City would want him. Their forwards actually press from the front, work back on defense, and aren’t prima donnas. Cundy is right.
