Rio without Vidic

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.

But how do you guys remember all the details of these matches. I watched most of the games but I no longer have a vivid recollection of them.
Buy the season review DVD, all the goals would stick to your mind like the national anthem.

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 grin grin

Expert17 you sef join body, Make I show you wetin Ronaldo like me take pass Moratas like una two grin

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.

So proceed with your stats.

That’s the one of the stats we need to look at - not your bogus selective stat.

We will also look at the quality of opposition Rio faced alone vs the ones Vidic faced.

A game at Anfield Rio played in without Vidic is different from a game at Old Trafford Vidic played without Rio against QPR.

In the games Vidic played, how many of them featured Rio?

With Rio injured a lot, Vidic in 2010/2011, Was partnering any donkey available to win the league be it Smalling Evans or anyone.

if you go watch ball for stadium Ferguson fit call you to partner Vidic and clean sheet sure
One can say the same in 12/13.

Rio made more appearances than Vidic and even made PFA team of the season. United won the title with 6 or so games to spare.

Arsenal formed a guard of honor for United.

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.

For a ball that didn’t cross the line but the referee gave.

That’s poor officiating. Nothing to do with Terry.

Just making things up to suit your agenda.

Vidic has a significant edge over Rio. The type of edge Ronaldo has over Morata
They complement each other.

Vidic is the attack bulldog, Rio is the luxury Rolls Royce that just cleans up the mess.

This is like saying Terry has a significant edge over Carvalho - it would be an abomination.

There’s always the aggressive type and the composed type in central defending.

Blaming Terry for Nonda’s goal, the goalkeeper should have saved that. He got a hand to it. A strong arm would have pushed that ball out of play.

This is vs Atletico in the 2014 CL semi final which Chelsea lost see Terry just clueless all over the place

All in crucial CL semi finals which Chelsea lost all

This is a CL crucial match where Terry was marking his own man

The only CL that Chelsea won, Terry was sent off in the semi finals and missed the final
The 2005 CL semis, the ball didn’t cross the line.

Poor officiating cost Chelsea again.

10/11.

United mauled Chelsea home and away - I think Giggs provided all the assists in both legs.

Terry was not at fault for any of the 3 goals conceded.

Prove Terry was at fault in Stamford Bridge or at Old Trafford.

I think I’ll agree with Dayo on Neville. He’s quite an intelligent player and he’s got a good cross but that about ends it.

He’s not strong defensively and he enjoyed playing with talented players. This doesn’t mean he’s horrible, it just says he’s not as huge as he seems to be.
A huge majority of football fans said Trent was the best right back in the world based on the merits of Neville that you just listed.

So what’s the difference?

Can Trent defend? No
Can he cross? Hell Yeah

Without even the penalty miss, his atrocious defending at key moments always cost the team. Mention 3 random seasons Chelsea got eliminated from the CL and I will show you Terrys incompetence
08/09, Terry had nothing to do with the horrific officiating that gave Barcelona the win.

Terry had defended like a Lion throughout that game until Essien failed to clear a lose ball & Messi controller the ball and slipped in Iniesta with a beautiful assist. Iniesta simply destroyed Cech.


How was that Terry’s fault?

Facts only. Terry was a very useless defender and Almos every Chelseas CL exit between 2003 and 2015 falls on the incompetence of Terry. I will say as much as 70% of Chelsea exits falls on Terry

The only CL semi and Finals he missed was when they won, when he did Chelsea a favour by getting red carded
Terry’s slip didn’t give United the victory in 2008, Anelka’s miss did if we are being pedantic.

Terry’s miss tied the shootout cos Ronaldo already missed in the first 5 for United.

You said the only tournament they both played together.. That is the point you cant crash out when you dont qualify.

Can Ole lose the CL quarter finals this season?
Terry is one of the best defenders of his generation. As a human, he’s a cūnt with the whole Wayne Bridge shit.

However, as a footballer, he’s the best defender of his generation. His personal achievements speak for itself.

The reason England failed time and time again was because of the manager and his lack of balls to play what fits the team instead of bowing down to the media pressure.

Sven Goran-Eriksson played Scholes on the wing to accommodate Gerrard & Lampard(media darlings). Such idiotic decisions was why England couldn’t compete with their peers in Europe.

Scholes rejoined January 2013 and was among our players of the season.

45 years old Scholes wil still shit on our current midfielders.
That’s an indictment on the Glazers and SAF that enabled them.

The same Scholes wouldn’t get into the starting XI of Barcelona, Madrid or Bayern in 2012.

This is why we are here today. When other clubs did away with nostalgia and signed competent midfielders, Fergie saved money for the Glazers by bringing Scholes back.

United could have signed Ozil, Modric, etc back then to fill the gap. It’s no wonder everything went to shit immediately SAF left.

So Fergie signed a shitty GK to help fix our goalkeeping problem?

Back to 07/08 matter, Degea of 17/18 can't start ahead of VDS.
Because Fergie was deluded & wanted a more experienced GK instead of a youth. Fergie was offered Petr Cech but he refused citing he was too young to deal with the pressure.

Then Cech shocked him at Chelsea - this was why Fergie didn’t hesitate when De Gea(19 years) was offered to him. Fergie said he learnt a painful lesson after missing out on Cech.

Who told you that Drogba would have replaced Terry in the shootout line up?

Drogba missed his penalty in 2006 AFCON final against Egypt and Missed another one versus Zambia in 2012 Final, so what made you think he will score VDS if he had taken the penalty?
Terry replaced Drogba in the shootout.

It was well documented that Drogba had been pencilled down as the last taker in the first 5 takers.

Terry took his place cos he wanted all the glory and slipped.

Drogba took it in 11/12 in a similar circumstance and he ruined Neuer. VDS would have been sent back to Amsterdam from Moscow.

I don’t know why you are mentioning Fulham and Ajax.
