Meanwhile, Torres played 4,000 more PL minutes than Yakubu, started more games than Yakubu, got subbed on more than Yakubu and played in more quality teams than Yakubu.
raumdeuter: People usually attack the weak spot. And Pep noticed Rio instantly and instructed Messi attack Rio, Few minutes later it bore
So what was a weak spot for Torres is a difficult spot for Messi?
I hope you realize it was the same season Torres & Gerrard sunk United at Old Trafford was the same one Barca faced United in the final.
I am sure if it was Vidic interviewing Pep too, he would have said the same for humor. Messi was a false 9 on the night, he had no such instruction to attack Rio at the far post.
Had Rio not played, who would Pep have told Messi to attack? If Messi was facing prime Nesta or Baresi, who would Pep have told Messi to attack? The referee?
How does this indicate Rio was weak or strong? Your striker must attack someone on the pitch, it’s inevitable. Whether the striker is facing Titus Bramble or Sergio Ramos, he’s under the instruction to attack them and score.
I said your stats is one of the comparisons to look at. I also said the level of the opponents is key. I even went further to compare a game at Anfield to the one against QPR at Old Trafford.
Focusing on your stat ONLY and ignoring the level of difficulty of the opponents makes your comparison redundant. You have completely refused to address the fact that Rio singlehandedly faced top opposition 7 times out of 12 to Vidic’s 1 out of 12.
CapitalCee: Are you saying Rio was the reason all those plenty goals were conceded in those matches?
He’s just blaming the goals on Rio because he’s on the pitch and he should be responsible for any goals scored whether he’s got something to do about it or not.
The quality of opposition is irrelevant to Raumdeuter, the build up to the goal is also irrelevant. Rio is supposedly superhuman and if he’s conceding goals against top teams then he’s shit.
Vidic was injured from Matchday 5-16 1 vs Liverpool 3 vs Spurs 2 vs Stoke 2 vs Chelsea 1 vs Arsenal 2 vs Villa 1 vs Norwich 1 vs QPR 3 vs Reading 2 vs Citeh Matchday 19 3 vs Newcastle Matchday 32 2 goals vs City Matchday 35 1 vs Arsenal
Note I did not credit Rio for the goals conceded in the 5-5 vs Brom because he came in as a sub Note: The teams in bold where Rio conceded 4 goals without Vidic ended up relegating
Summary Rio without Vidic conceded 24 goals in 27 games Vidic without Rio conceded 5 goals in 19 games
Do you want me to continue twisting the dagger?
So Vidic missed games against.....
Liverpool Spurs Chelsea Arsenal x 2 City x 2
There’s a reason Rio’s fellow professional footballers handed him the PFA slot & no one remembered Vidic.
raumdeuter: Vidic without Rio conceded Matchday 1 vs Everton 1 goal Matchday 2 vs Fulham 2 goals Matchday 18 vs Swansea 1 goal Matchday 36 vs Chelsea 1 goal
Total Vidic without Rio conceded 5 goals the entire season
Kindly verify and confirm before we move ahead sir at this points its too late to run away
Expert17 you sef join body, Make I show you wetin Ronaldo like me take pass Moratas like una two
My source transfermarkt
I don’t know what you would conclude when you realize Vidic was absent in 7 games out of 12 against the top 7.
The fact that Vidic even conceded goals against Everton, Fulham & Swansea tells me he’s nothing without Rio.
That was a back pass to the goalkeeper - why didn’t he catch it?
If De Gea or any other goalie fumbled that, the defender wouldn’t be blamed. If the goalie’s hand touched the ball then it ought to have been saved.
Ambrosio’s hand was too weak and I cannot remember anyone blaming Terry for that goal. Ambrosio got all the blame as he wasn’t even Chelsea’s first choice GK.
This is vs Luis Garcia in the 2005 CL semi finals which Chelsea lost. See Terry in Jersey 26 jumping like an epileptic patient [img]http:///media/11-17-2016/hlH3L-.gif[/img]
This is vs Atletico in the 2014 CL semi final which Chelsea lost see Terry just clueless all over the place [img]http:///media/11-17-2016/meFEjN.gif[/img] All in crucial CL semi finals which Chelsea lost all
