Are the premiership players getting worse

    Just thinking about who is great in the premiership at the moment and there are not many, those that would be considered superb players like Nani, Rooney, Aguerro and the likes still look little more than okay.
    Is this because of better defenders, different ball or lowering standards, mainly when it comes to scoring..

    Thinking back to Ginola, Zola, Gazza, Juninho, Yeboah, Weir, Henry, Bergkamp, quality showmen all put the current crop in the shade.

    They all played  beautifull football, they all seemed to enjoy it and unlike C.Ronlado, I never hated them as they did it either.
    Maybe its just me but I find it rare to see a wonder goal these days whereas when I used to watch MOTD there seemed to be 5 or 6 a night..

    The closest to quality I can think of is anoyingly Rooney but even his best goal wasn't as good as Sinclairs imo

    I think Tevez, Aguero, Silva, Yaya, Modric, Rooney, Mata, Suarez are all superb players. I think you might just be getting older and jaded IHRS?

    Of the current prem players the ones with real class are: Aguero, Silva, Nasri, Yaya Toure, Joe Hart, Rooney, Baines, A Cole, Nani, Vidic (possibly), Reina, Gerrard, Tevez, Modric. There are others just below this but there are too many very average players in the league.

    Of course the league has got better. If the league had got worse we would probably still be the 5th best team in the country and we may of finished in the top 4 again.

    I was thinking more the shots and goals rather than the general play, used to be a list of 10 cracking goals of the month, now most just seem fairly standard, there are always a few exceptions Modric hit a cracker for example, just seems like it used to happen a lot more often.

    Tell me you meant Weah, not the skinny centre half we had for years?

    Yeah I did, George Weah was class... Mind you our little skinny centre half did a decent job for us.
