If you think Lampard will take PK at Mancity ahead of Aguero.....you must be joking ooo


KDB all day

biomustry:
He plays alright for Madrid. You should watch him, better than Belgium sef

Courtois played well for Athletico Madrid not Real Madrid....go and watch again, ..dis time with a relaxed mind.

Galactico4ever:
Fact still remains he has been in FIFA and UEFA team of the year more times than any defender from your team,plus he's been carrying the Spanish national Team those 8yrs.

Go and check how many times, he made it into those FIFA and UEFA teams before Ronaldo joined Real madrid.....then compare it, to when Ronaldo joined.


Ramos is always present in UEFA best 11,...
Ronaldo left just last season, Ramos didn't make the UEFA team

Godx:
Their is nothing Don about Sergio Ramos when it comes to his defensive ability. One of the most overrated player I have ever seen who has whitewashed his reputation because of couple goals he scored in champions league finals. The Sergio Ramos i watch week in week out is a wack defender and a clown.

We talking about marking out strikers.....he is mentioning Ballotelli.

If I train for 2 days, ..i will Mark out Ballotelli

Am sure most people dropping their account details are Nairalanders.....

See how Chelsea and Liverpool fans are claiming Bayern munich fan.




This one get MSc for begging

going for 1998/1999 team......

Yorke and Cole understanding is above Tevez and Ronaldo....... Scholes and Keane midfield is something else

Herbiedeen:
[s]LMAO!!! YEAH YOU'RE RIGHT
He caused the penalty (1st goal)
He told de gea to position himself like Akpeyi when a shot is coming (that caused the 2nd goal)
He was the one that commited a foul which led to the 3rd goal
His team conceded 2 more goals in the tournament in which he has no fault

And mind you, those are the only 5 goals DE GEA conceded from 5 shots faced.

Goals Conceded - 5
Shots Faced - 5
Saves - 0
Cleansheet - 0

Those are Ramos faults abi[/s]

ok

MRTA7:
Its looking likely that if the rest of the matches can't be restarted in England by end of June latest. This season will be cancelled. French league and Dutch league already cancelled.

That's my prayer..... Cancel it

odizeey:
I for give you one example but I no won pull down my legend.

Give me example, ..i have many self....even Welbeck wan kill am 2012/2013 UCL.

The same people saying Terry and Ferdinand are not good defenders, ... Are calling Ramos, a great defender.....na wa o

Wetin we forget about Ramos??

How he dislocated Salah's shoulder baa??

patrickmuf:
He learned the act from the very person he is arguing with, Dayo.

Godx:
Sergio Ramos is a very poor defender and a clown.

I dnt expect ephraim and izzou to understand... They watch only EPL

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I just dey look am

I remember that day, how he roasted De Gea. Today, it's Ramos that is responsible for his failure[/color]

Its still the same thing,.... Degea doesnt play well for spain, but plays well for his club

Courtois doesnt play well for Real madrid compared to Belguim.

raumdeuter:
So Valdes started at the world cup and Euros he won?

I didnt say so....

Mine is that, he won those trophies also

eph12:
You're still the same person that blamed the goals conceded in 2013 on De gea just to push your agenda. In your words, De gea cannot keep clean sheet. I weak

I dnt understand you again o

raumdeuter:
Ramos 1 world cup, 2 Euros, 4 CL titles

beat that

Victor Valdes should have similar titles.

Its not by that one.

Swissh:
I very much preferred the Puyol and Ramos dragging. Spillo1 come and drop more about them using Phil Jones, eph12 greatest player as reference

Instead of Ramos to defend and make Courtois keep clean sheet..........he will be dragging PK with Hazard and Benzema....

His useless defendiing @ the last world cup is affecting De gea career uptil now

popizaino:
Matic in the same sentwwith dm greats like Busquet and carrick?

Is Matic not better than wat of have @ chelsea now??

The 3 of them lack pace, dnt jump to tackle up and down,... they all use their positioning as their key strength, other resemblance

larride:
Both of them play together in EPL from 06 - 14. They both were in their prime. It’s not about any agend, for those years they played together, Vidic was better than him and his 2 times Premier league player of the year attest to the fact.

Since 94/95 that Premier league started awarding Player of the season, Vidic was the first defender to win it and as at today, he’s the only defender to win it twice.

Not all heroes wear capes.....

Ferdinard was the foundation of our defence............Vidic did the finishing touches

raumdeuter:
We are comparing when both played under similar circumstance same club same country same city not when one was in Serbia and one in England

Before Vidic joined Ferdinard had played 10 years in the toughest league in the world, defending against top strikers....

Vidic was chilling in serbia and russia league...

You dnt expect Ferdinard to be as agile and strong as Vidic......

larride:
From 06/07 - 13/14 that they both play together in the EPL, check this out:

Vidic had:
More interceptions
More blocks
More tackles
More tackles won
More clearances
More aerial duel wons
More last man tackles
More headed clearances
More goals
More assists
More yellow cards
More red cards

Pray tell Expert, who was organizing who?

Larride,

We are comparing 2 players....their career.

You are bringing part of it.

Agenda must agend

raumdeuter:
Abe which kain yeye question be this?

mention one top defender VVD ever benched in his career

Its yeye question,....because i can mention 7+ club legends he displaced both @ club and country level...

Vidic just met better platform to express himself.

raumdeuter:
John stones also broke transfer fees he also debuted at age 20

WHich good platform was at Man utd when he joined?

You sabi avoid question...

you must answer this one.

Mention 2 top defenders Vidic ever benched in his career??

Ibeme:
Sorry to tell you, the only weak player there is Silvester and Carroll who are backups anyway.

All the rest are easily capable of winning leagues. It is their leader that is the problem. We saw this weak leadership in QPR later as he led them to relegation while they drank goals like kunu. We can expect old age to play a part in one-on-ones but their defense had the most shambolic disorganisation cos their leader has little defensive sense. He needed Vidic to lead him to be honest.

Ferdinard didnt play upto 15 games at QPR, he was injured and i think he lost his wife that same year......so QPR is out of it.

Those defenders/goalkeepers are just average at best,.. Ferguson knew why he bought Vandersar, Vidic and Evra within 2-3 transfer windows

raumdeuter:
Pre 2003 what was he doing in football? He was just like another John Stones who could pass and was hyped as a result

When you watch John Stones like Rio you will always see his reluctance to engage attackers but Peps defence doesnt cover him well so he gets exposed regularly

All those tactic of waiting to get support can only work when you outnumber the attacker, where its 3 attackers vs 4 defenders or 3 vs 3 how else do you handle it without engaging?

Before 2003, he broke Defender transfer fee twice....

He became the youngest defender to debut for England(1997).

Mention 2 top CB Vidic ever benched in his career?? ...... he met a good platform to perform at United.
Ferdinard benched lot of stars at club and country

Ibeme:
Xavi played from like 1998 to 2016, yet we only use 2008 to 2012 to judge him.

He played 1996-2015, yet achieved next to nothing except the 6 years when Vidic stabilised him.

Before that, we have already given him the tag of John Stones, hyped in smaller clubs but becoming a laughing stock when he reached the club where reliability matters.

How will ferninard play well with this team

Caroll/Howard
G.Neville Ferdinard. Brown/Oshea/Silvestre P.neville/Heinze

(thou, he was in team of the year 2004/2005)
Vidic will struggle with this players

Someone played in EPL from 1996 - 2015.................you are using 2003-2006 to judge him

Even Maldini/Cannaravo/ Nesta will suffer with the defenders and goalkeepers in Man Utd during 2003-2006.

raumdeuter:
That Matic na average he is like the Serbian Olofinjana. He is just big. That was why he got bundled out of Chelsea when Kante joined. Same reason he has been getting benched at Man Utd

When last did you watch Man utd match

He was bundled out, when jorginho joined...... What has Kante and the Jorginho played since then

raumdeuter:
Remove Matic first, Busquets intercepts a lot of balls. And he doesn't run away from attackers like VVD

They are similar, ....the 3 of them.

I should remove Matic and put Pashunate Jorginho??

raumdeuter:
He can only do that because there are people who are going to do the dirty work for him
Defending is a dirty job, its not for people who are scared of confrontation

How does Busquet, Carrick and Matic excel so much in defensive midfield role without strength and robust tackling

Godx:
I
He does that in a smart way, cutting off the angles and basically forcing the attacker into a bad choice. He is incredible in 1 vs 1 situations. Committing to the tackle is for guys who aren't confident of their ability to force a striker into a bad position. i can smell your hatred for him all through your post. You have sworn never to admit anything about him so let's just end it. I don't like people that can never be objective.

They like seeing defenders sliding up and down.....

They don't like technical players
