The English defender has come out and revealed that he thinks that the quality levels of the Premier League have certainly declined over the past three to four years and that the difference between the top teams in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749
and in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 is increasing...
Manchester United and Manchester City’s knockout from the UEFA Champions League was an indication of the troubles of the Premier League when taken in a European context but these troubles were turned into confirmable facts when
United and their blue neighbours suffered embarrassing exists from the secondary European competition i.e. the Europa League as well.
Manchester City failed to come good against Sporting Lisbon at the round of 16 whereas United failed to impress against Athletic Bilbao. City gave a better account of themselves but it was Manchester United who were convincingly
defeated by Athletic Bilbao from the Spanish Primera Division. Since then questions have been asked with regard to the growing gap in quality between the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, Real Madrid and Manchester United, Manchester City along with Chelsea and Arsenal.
Another disappointing conclusion can be drawn from the current status of the Premier League in the UEFA Champions League. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 are the only English club in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League this season as all others
have been sent packing at earlier stages, most notably http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in the round of 16 at the hands of an ageing A.C Milan side.
Woodgate said, "I don’t think the standard is as good as it has been. You can tell that because teams aren’t too far behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, and that’s no disrespect to Liverpool. It hasn’t been a great league this season, but I don’t
know why. Athletic Bilbao dominated Manchester United over two games, which has never been seen."
However the former English national team defender praised Swansea City for their performance in the Premier League this season in light of their recent win against Manchester City. Woodgate added, “Maybe the quality has just gone
out of the league a bit, although Swansea have been unbelievable. I love the way they play football and how they pass the ball no matter where they are on the field. Brendan Rodgers is destined for a big http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.”
