How is this andarsene better than rice?

Do you knownthe amount of work Rice put in midfield?
If you remove rice and pair andarsene with some one else, he may be exposed.
This is your Jollof Rice cheesy grin

You are la city fan, so I am not interested in your take. But then, we shall see how he fares at City.

Rice I know. He has proven himself both at westham and arsenal as a tank. He defends, he attacks, he assists and scores. He is also a set piece specialist. So who is anderson? Abi na because he was selected to play in the worldcup?

This was how philips paired with Rice in Euros. Rice effect made him look solid. City rushed to buy him, only for the guy to flop and then thrown away.
Anderson at 24 is better than Rice was at the same age, More versatile and complete. Rice is currently the more proven player. Take a look at his stats below. Possession won, Duels won, Line breaking passes, successful passes etc. He's not just a runner like Caicedo and Rice.

Anderson is AMG.

Rice is also good but to have a player with these stats(recovery, interceptions, tackles and duels) at such a young age is ridiculous.

City have seen the data. Useless United scouts haven’t clocked it yet.

No mind them jare. England doesnt have much good players in that department, hence he was selected to pair rice..now we no go hear word.

Rmemeber how philips paired rice in Euros. How did it end after City signed him.

Rodri is miles ahead of this guy
Is Anderson a good player ? Yes he is ,but make dem cool down with the hype of being better than rice

Rodri Dey on his own league ,Dat one no be anybody mate

Not that far fetched. The one that shocked me is a Nigerian-Argentine playing for River Plate.

If we are talking about generational TALENT:

Xavi definitely not. I watched him fairly well as a youth player. Somewhere down the line his game developed and evolved into the GOAT midfielder that he became.

Zidane most likely not but I didn’t see much of him as a youth player but I believe his game evolved too.

Dinho is the one that has the best claim to being a generational talent cos everything he became from a technical point of view was already on display from the earliest sighting of him.

I am saying this as someone whose favourite 2 midfielders this century are Zidane and Xavi.
afrodoc:
In my opinion, late bloomer already cancels out generational talent.

Anybody who is not already showing signs that he will be an all time great as a teenager can’t be a generational talent. Generational talent is not about achievement but what you came into the senior game with. Whether you go on to be a legend of the game is a different story that depends on luck, discipline, hard work, sacrifice, etc.

Generational talents do not get loaned from place to place at age 18-20 like Harry Kane was.

A generational talent can end up being an underachiever while an average talent can end up being an all time great. Many other factors influence the end result.
100%


You were spot on with those two posts and speaking my mind then you went and disappointed me by mentioning Mbappe and Haaland as generational talents. Those two are on course to become generational players, but I wouldn't call either of them generational talents. Mbappe is a world class effective speed merchant with good finishing and an ok technical ability. There's nothing to his game that's generational when compared to someone Like Lamine yamal an actual generational talent.


Ronaldinho, Delima, Messi, Maradonna, Neymar, Cruyff, Iniesta, Okocha, Yamal are generational talents.

Ronaldo, Mbappe, De bruyne, Lewandowski, Zidane, Haaland, Modric, Xavi are
generational players.

As it stands

Finish 1st play one of the 3rd place team then Switzerland and Argentina.

Finish 2nd play Ghana or Croatia then Spain.

He's right footed and always played in the RCB position at Wolfburg. At Palace who play 3 at the back, he plays in the middle as the CCB with Chris Richards as the RCB and Guehi as the LCB.

His signing doesn't affect Colwil at all. Nah them Jehovah boy, Tosin and Fofafa go collect.

Yeah, Van Hecke is the better defender though...
Good clarity, thanks

This collabo different small because both his mum and dad are black. A Ghanaian-Ecuadorian black-on-black collabo should be one of a kind

I know personally a Yemeni-Ugandan-Hungarian collabo. I don't think anyone is matching that collabo anytime soon

England don’t have good players in that department?

Adam Wharton isn’t a good player?
Cole Palmer isn’t a good player?
Phil Foden isn’t a good player?
Curtis Jones isn’t a good player?
Morgan Gibbs-White isn’t a good player?
James Garner isn’t a good player?
Connor Gallagher isn’t a good player?

Anderson was chosen ahead of these brilliant players but you people continue to lie to yourself that England isn’t loaded in that department?

You are in denial. cheesy grin

Funny thing is they could’ve held on for a draw vs France. They played a very good compact first half but decided to be expansive in the second half. If they’d dig their heels in, worst would be a 1-0 loss instead of the 3 they conceded.

Against Norway, Koulibaly decided to show his true colors. The coach realized too late and the damage was already done by the time he subbed CSO off.

They messed up badly in these earlier games. Right that they get punished.

We could actually see two teams trying to lose a World Cup match… 🤯

Thanks to FIFA’s new head-to-head tiebreaker, Austria vs Algeria has created a bizarre scenario where 2nd gets Spain, while 3rd likely gets Switzerland.

For the first time ever, losing could be the smarter result.

There was nothing Ronaldinho could do on the ball that Okocha couldn't. Okocha underachieved with the talent he had for
multiple of reasons while Ronaldinho went on to become an all time great player. It doesn't change the fact that Okocha was a generational talent. There was once a player at Barca academy that was regarded on the same level as Messi in terms of talent but he couldn't handle the pressure.

Kanu as a teenager won an U17 tournament
Okocha never won it anything in underage

Beyond teenager years, Kanu won Nigeria the biggest trophy in our countrys history
Okocha was a carry along who did nothing

Kanu club career at his peak played for tier 1 clubs Ajax, Inter Milan, Arsenal at his peak
Okocha club career at his peak played for tier 2-3 clubs like Frankfurt, Fenerbahce, PSG, Bolton

If anyone would even be called generational talents between the two, it would be Kanu who did stuffs at U17, as a teen won Nigerian league, won the Dutch league, won the CL for Ajax
Beyond teenage won Nigeria the biggest title, at club level EPL titles. Tell us about Okocha again

I like Van Hecke but he’s slow(er) and Alonso wants to play 343 IMO
