50/50 there is a keeper. 80/20 no keeper? Lol.

The problem is you believing Kerkez cannot mark Gusto but Mcallister could have stopped Caicedo.

But continue.
he is shooting from a distance 50/50 .

Gusto is closer and has a higher ratio of scoring ..

VVD should have stepped out to engage Caicedo while Kerkez will cover Gusto, McCallister was out of the picture with when the pass was played to Caicedo

It is easier to destroy than to build. That's why nobody would rate Dejong over Sergio Busquet.
The best midfielders are builders. They are the fulcrum. Not every game will be chaotic or swashbuckling. What does your CM do then?
He must become the tempo setter.
He must become a playmaker.
He must become a ball-carrier.
He must become a line-breaker.

I speak for the truly enlightened. The Dimly witted should understand why they'll never see the light.

Had Caicedo missed, it would've been praised as VVDs brilliance. They argued same for the Tottenham chance with Sissoko or so.

VVD can't have it both ways. That's the truth. He hedged on Caicedo shooting wide, high or the GK making a save. This time he miscalculated. Simple.

Manuel Akanji: "Obviously, I play for the Swiss national team, but I’m still really proud of being Nigerian... It’s been a long time since I’ve been back to Nigeria."

"My tattoo? It's the eagle from the Nigerian national team, It’s something I carry with me." (Inter TV)

Manuel Akanji’s heart says Nigeria, but his passport says Switzerland.

Gary Neville have played, sleep and eat football all his life. No one needs to play a particular position to have an opinion on it.

Mr. Know It All, were you a professional defender to know who is better between Hakimi and James?

No be only electricity Ghana dey enjoy pass Nigeria,they enjoy relative peace as well.

I just boarded their own version of molue now to go meet someone in Accra and despite the fact that the bus is filled with mostly men,i still feel secured and even typing on my phone.

16 passengers,2 ladies and 14men including myself. If na my country i no go even think of removing my phone as i will be overly paranoid hoping any of the passengers doesn't try any stupid move.
There is a "Sharpness" and desperation in Nigerians that most Africans do not have. Most Africans are laid back, easy going and content. They are like Northerners in that regards of "I cant kill myself"

The sharpness of Nigerians can be a positive and also negative

You are the least person i would expect to say this.

In what world was VVD supposed to leave there and charge Caicedo?

In an ideal football world, where is it expected that a CB charge forward and mark a DM?

If Caicedo had missed no one would be singing the praises of VVD.

If you expect VVD to stop Caicedo from there then you expect VVD to also stop Sanchez kicking the ball forward.

The whole Internet is filled with the agenda.

Only a few want to do proper analysis again.

How can everyone swallow it hook line and sinker that VVD did the wrong move there.

In what world should he have charged Caicedo from there?

Does it cost people to say things the way they are?
In the world where defenders actually defend and not run away from attackers

Giving Caicedo that much space to shoot is criminal from VVD

A defender marks whoever is in front of him or about to do damage whether its a right back a goal keeper or the other center back

this makes you the third person against oga timbros ..

If VVD charges at caicedo, that would be termed a rookie move in the world of professionals..
See how Boateng charged at the attacker as he was about to shoot instead of waiting for the DM or someone else to do it. Boateng could have retreated forme activity claiming he was tracking the run of another player but he took charge of the situation That is how defenders take charge and take responsibilities not pointing at others.

Football is football. A footballer is a footballer.
Very Airmarkian. Comparing a former DEFENDER turned pundit, to one of the GOATs of midfielders when MIDFIELDERS are being discussed.

Imagine pitting a commentator's hot take vs a credentialed assessment of an expert in their specific field. Meanwhile, I'm the one leaning on the expert...
Gary Neville have played, sleep and eat football all his life. No one needs to play a particular position to have an opinion on it.
Again, like your nemesis, you run behind making "passionate" defenses for your arguments but when scrutinized they appear imprecise & gaping in logic.

In one breath, look at Neville and his CV, in another breath, no one needs to have a CV to have an opinion.

This is a laughable use of selective credentialism. Imagine extolling Gary who romanticizes the defensive contributions of players, while dismissing the positional expertise of Paul that actually enriches analysis & insight. You're bold, but I don't envy you.

Mr. Know It All, were you a professional defender to know who is better between Hakimi and James?
The irony and utter hypocrisy. If positions are irrelevant, why specify "professional defender" in the challenge? It contradicts the "universal footballer" ethos. But you wouldn't know because you're looking for gotchas when you should have been looking for logic.

Like Raumdeuter said, at that moment Caicedo was to be seen as CR7 or KdB or any great player with a long range shot. That's the assumption. Even a small stone hurled at the speed of sound will make the impact of a bullet. VVD hedged and in this situation, he chose the wrong approach. The end.

This is in vacuum and will never happen in real life, zero chance lol. As a striker, midfielder, defender, as long as you're on the pitch, if you're the closest to stop the opposition from scoring at the moment, you try to do it. That's me digressing a bit.

Now Let's look at run run vvd. He's known for doing this and it's now like a signature move. When it works, he gets all the praise, when it doesn't, he deserves all the flag lol. He should've charged at Caicedo because Kerkez had his eyes on Gusto but he mistook Emperor Caicedo for Sisiacko and other mediocres.

People are surprised that Konate is playing poorly but that bro is tired. He's tired of playing multiple positions and covering for run away soldier. He really needs some rest because his lungs, kidney, back, brain, knees needs a great reset in Madrid. Against Bournemouth, Konate was busy covering for two positions while vvd ran away leading to a goal. Ibou is tired grin grin

This is Milner yelling at VVD for not engaging Sancho. Lol.

He will not get the praises if Caicedo had missed. Either the keeper saves it or scrutinise Caicedo for shooting wide.

Now watch the video i posted above and tell me how VVD was supposed to leave that position and charge at Caicedo and not the midfielders just close to him.

Did you notice how many kudos he got for Sissoko shooting over the bar
