NinjaMetahuman:
The team is full of tacklers and short pass marchants.

Zero creative player.

Pass pass pass -run to the corner and cross inshalla

I remember that game at Metropolitano that year, it was Hazard's show. Pulisic's poor form is not helping matter.

raumdeuter:
[s]Why not best European forward? He say best Swedish forward Abeg who be the 2nd? You need a career in comedy

Its like saying Mikitaryan is the best Armenian midfielder since 2010[/s]

Mkhitaryan never had Ibra's records and individual honours.

Meanwhile, let blueraydick complete his internship with you.

raumdeuter:
Scoreboard shows the defence with Thiago Silva using basket to gather goals while without him they looked better

So you only watch scoreboard and not matches. Apari himself.

raumdeuter:
Consistent performance where? In which competition?

In all competitions.

What will you call a player that scored 10 goals in 8 Ucl matches in a season?

What will you call a player with most assists in Ucl in a season?

Go online and check his individual records and honours in Italy, France and for his Country.

From 2007 till date, the best Swedish forwarder.

raumdeuter:
You have an exceptional ability to reason in an absurd manner sha

So scoring in 1st 2nd and 120th min is what makes a player great

Has your brain lost connection to your eyes or you just deliberately wanted to be blind to my earlier post?

airmark:
Consistent individual brilliance when he was at his peak as shown by his records and individual honours by world soccer governing body.

rationalmind:
I'm looking at the records, the one he shares with Ronaldo and number 9 on the list. What exactly does that mean?

In his career, he had scored in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd...........................90th minute in different matches.

Capaldi:
Why should Zlatan be considered a great player in the first place?

Consistent individual brilliance when he was at his peak as shown by his records and individual honours by world soccer governing body.

I hope you won't say they are wrong when children of Ifa worshippers start putting cowries on their heads to the school and wearing amulets.

Blueraydick right now

He has shifted the post continuously, now he has reached the perimeter fence.

Almajirihunter:
I’ll love to know the top 5 defenders of past 20 years sha

Help me beg him o.

Unconsciously he has thrown many great defenders under the bus with his criteria of rating great defenders.

BlueRayDick:
The moment u couldn't answer a simple yes or no question without shalaye was the moment I decided I won't be answering further questions from you. I no get strength for that back and forth argument that will last for days with u turning and wining jare

Oga, list your 5 great defenders of last 20yrs and the trophies they won as the best players of the tournaments.

BlueRayDick:
I knew u were going to say this but everybody knows Thiago Silva wasn't Brazil's best player in that copa America, I deliberately didn't address it because a fellow Brazilian who is a defender as well was awarded the best player in that Copa america while the "great" Thiago Silva was overlooked.

Since you have decided to be shifting the goal post with each reply, oya list your top 5 great defenders of last 20yrs, and the major titles they won and awarded best players of the tournaments.

From must win major title for club or country, to must be among the top 5 defenders in the last 20yrs, to he must be awarded the best player in the major tournament he won. Are you working as a gardener in a stadium? You shift posts like you do it for a living.

raumdeuter:
A picture >>> A thousand words

World cup winner, CL winner, starter in all finals

Was he among FIFA World cup best XI?

Ibunkun1:

Yes now.

He claimed that Silva never won a major trophy for club and country, i mentioned Copa America he started doing several 'leg overs' like Quaresma.


Meanwhile,

Ferdinand : Back in 2014, when asked on Twitter who the best centre-back in the world was, the Manchester United legend said: “Thiago Silva by a long way.”

Gattuso : “I see Thiago’s strength every day in training. It is not a blasphemy to compare Thiago Silva to Franco Baresi.”

Inzaghi: “I think that Thiago Silva is the best defender in the world. It is incredible how good he really is. Thiago Silva is part of a new generation of phenomenal players who are perhaps born every 100 years.”

Ronaldo: “Thiago Silva is without a doubt the best central defender in the world. He has incredible qualities. He is a symbol of elegance like Franz Beckenbauer. He is following in his footsteps.”

Ancelotti: “When Thiago gets onto the pitch, he controls the defence with his great personality and character. He is the boss of the defence,” Ancelotti wrote in his 2015 book My Coaching Secrets.

“Thiago is a leader, technically capable of doing extraordinary things in the two phases of the game. With him, things at the back are simple and efficient.

“His speed, his great ability to recover the ball, the way he reads the game, all combined with an extraordinary leap in aerial duels makes him one of the best defenders in the world.”

Laurent Blanc: “I confirm everything that is said or written about Thiago Silva, everything people think of him: he is at the top level in the world!”

Capello: “If I needed a defender I’d sign Thiago Silva. In the next two years, he could easily play in Italy with a cigarette in his mouth.”


But here on nairaland, he is not great because he hasn't won a UCL or World cup.

BlueRayDick:
The same confederations cup David Luiz was also in the team of the tournament . Okay I agree Thiago Silva is a great Brazilian CB.

So you didn't see Copa America, but saw Confederations cup. Just say Copa America is not a major title and let's rest.

You need to complete your internship under Dayo before you can master his Amala turning techniques.

youngpresidooo:
if anyone needs 3rd eye to see greatness then it is not greatnesss
greatness is always glaring for all to see

Icons are brilliant. Kudos

BlueRayDick:
1. Well, airmark asked what I think makes a defender great and here's my response : " Well, for me I believe that aside from a CB being very good at reading the ball, very good in the air, being a good leader at the backline , making timely interceptions etc....such player must enjoy successful years with his team(either at the national level or club level by winning a major title ) and such success must be directly attributable to his footballing prowess. It is only then I consider such player as ''great"

2. Airmark carefully highlighted the part I talked about winning titles but didn’t see where I talked about such player being a major contributor to his team’ success within those periods .

Trust me, i knew what i was doing when i added the highlighted part below in my reply. So, find another thing to type about Airmark's reply.

airmark:
My brother, Thiago Silva won Copa America and Confederation's cup with Brazil and also was in the team of the tournament in both competitions. So i don't know what you are talking about.

Your own yardstick is what i used as stick to strike out your invalid opinion about the GREAT Brazilian defender.

timbros:
Please which of the two bolded defines a great CB? The qualities you mentioned or "top 5 defenders discussed in the future"?

You both learnt it from Raumdeuter.

Unlimited22:
Salomon Kalou - 1 UCL.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 0 UCL.


Kalou >>>>>>>> Zlatan.


Djibril Cisse - 1 UCL

Alan Shearer, Michael Owen and Harry Kane - 0 UCL Combined.

Cisse >>>>>>>>> Owen + Shearer + Kane

Look at Nedved with golden foot, but some people will say he wasn't a great player because he didn't win a major title for club and country.

donforeign:
Apollo na trash n average sleepy album.
Chike album is d best album..
Fire boy first album was better than apollo... nonsense

Mention just one song from that Chike's album that beats Fireboy's Champion in quality.

Chike's album that is not even better than Adekunle Gold's album.

I won't be surprised if Hellites start dragging Alex for trying to mock Kidd's ex.

BlueRayDick:
The main question is "If top 5 defenders that played across top leagues in Europe during this era are being discussed in the future, will Thiago be in the conversation?"

I'm not a fan of Boateng and his comical defending na.

Based on your yardstick for tagging a CB, great, Silva is a great CB. That's the reason for this convo anyway, any other subsequent scope you are introducing is by the side and not relevant for now.

Thiago silva is a great CB.

Amoto94:
Thiago Silva: "I made a bad mistake in my first game at Chelsea, something you normally don't expect from me. After that day, I started analysing our opponents' forwards, how they press and how I can be faster than them."

{Champions League Magazine}

I hope our CBs are learning from this top professional defender.

BlueRayDick:
Well, for me[b] I believe that aside from a CB being very good at reading the ball, very good in the air, being a good leader at the backline , making timely interceptions etc....such player must enjoy successful years with his team(either at the national level or club level by winning a major title ) and such success must be directly attributable to his footballing prowess.[/b] It is only then I consider such player as ''great"

I will gladly agree he is a good player for PSG particularly in the era in which they've dominated their domestic league with the arrival of their Qatari owners in 2011, but he isn't great defender you call him to be. That guy was always in the defense line when they get dumped out of Champions league year-in year-out.

Like I said earlier, when great defenders of this era will be mentioned, Thiago's named will likely be missing.

My brother, Thiago Silva won Copa America and Confederation's cup with Brazil and also was in the team of the tournament in both competitions. So i don't know what you are talking about.

Oh, left to you, Nedved, Weah, Ibrahimovic were not great players because they didn't win UCL for their clubs and World cup for their countries, right?.

You rate a player based on his individual brilliance, not only by winning UCL and World cup. Silva was in Fifa world best 11 thrice, Uefa team of the year thrice. He was not there consistently because he came from Brazil but for his top class performances which he was consistent with.

If you like win World cup 7 times, if you are not exceptional in the competitions FIFA will only hand you gold medals, ask you to go home like Boathand while they honour those that are exceptional individually.

Yellow by Brymo deserved the alternate album of the year, Apollo is a no no for album of the year and how d fvck did Bob daddy win d rap single of the year. The award just get as e b. Mtcheeew


Sighs............ Drops pen

Which album was actually better than Apollo in content?

BlueRayDick:
You see ehn, when I asked "what makes Thiago Silva a great ", I was really curious to know those great feats he's achieved over the years Manning the defensive lines of various clubs and countries. I mean those arguments that can be made for him in the next 3 to 4 years when he's fully retired and people start talking about the great defenders that played in first 20 years of the 2000's . Yes Thiago Silva is better than them David Luiz and co...... but that greatness u talked about I’m yet to see it.

Maybe u should’ve called Thiago Silva a good defender at best , but the way u used the word “Great “ loosely there ehn , e get as e be.

He won’t make the top 5 defenders of this first 20 years of the 2000’s that I watched and can recall how good the players who played in it were , so once again I am interested in what makes Thiago Silva aside from the fact that he’s like Chelsea’s beat defender since dem John Terry retired .

What are the great feats a CB must achieve for him to be referred to as a great CB in your books?

JohnnyPalmer:
Stop lying

There was no noise nor did they cheer shyte

She was rather aired

Very drab presentation with mayorkun doing most of the talks

Dumberica just went to display her dumbness and fake smile

You can't even compare her to vee

Vee exudes confidence the kind Dumberica can never

Here is the link to Dumberica presentation

Still searching for the noise and cheers

Someone that was aired

Chai, these hellites are werey sha. The place was so silent such that you could hear the sound of a dropped pin.

Even a club legend is tired of the VVD excuses.

Just as Raumdeuter accepted yesterday, Carragher might be extending the dragnet to the ineffectiveness of attack spearheaded by the African giant dwarf and the recent poor performances of your Alisson in goal.
