speed of Ferdinand
nodding ability of Vidic
positional sense of Terry.

Positional sense of who? Terry? LMAO

Abi you don forget say Terry na just carry along who dey form activity by pointing

Vidic is thrice the defender VVD is. He might have a point comparing him to Rio though

raumdeuter:

And what are some of CR7 attributes that Hazard has

LMFAO!

chic2pimp:


LMFAO!

Abi you no see me see trouble, dem look Hazard say na CR7 he play like. Dem no see Zaha Snograss not even Siggudson

CR7

lordfalcao:


According to your logic.

Rudiger for 34m is maga, but van dijk and koulibaly for 60 million is a good deal.

Lordfalcao i hope you can see clearly now as he is now compared with legendary defenders.

Meanwhile, how about the Rudiger's toros lalaboy talked about?

chic2pimp:


Van D#$j ko Van p#$y ni. We dey talk about quality defenders you dey name Van Dijk. Abeg if na joke stop am.

Chic2pimp chai, your own worse pass lordfalcao's.

Merry Christmas everyone

In my defence, Boateng was the better defender of the two(with a greater resume)at that time.

Hahahahaha

There is literally no similarities between Ronaldo and Hazard other than the fact they both played in the Premier League.

Boathand was at his peak of his uselessness that time bro. That was when club president wanted to use juju chase him out of munich.

God bless you. I just got to read the report fully now. This is the reason i asked lordfalcao,a40 not to stupidly follow this irresponsible apari of a mentor.

Below is what Redknapp said;

“Think of the best defenders in Premier League history — John Terry, Rio Ferdinandand Nemanja Vidic. Van Dijk is all three players rolled into one.

“He reads the game like Terry and is a lovely passer, getting the ball out of his feet and spraying 30-yard balls. Van Dijk is blessed with the pace of Rio, too. Rarely do you see him caught out in a one-v-one situation.

“While he is not as aggressive as Vidic, he has that same warrior spirit and will to win. He is calm, cool, composed in the air and is a brilliant leader.”

“Never mind player of the season — if he carries on playing at this level, he has all the attributes to be the Premier League's greatest ever defender. I am just surprised that it has taken until now for him to be starring in a team competing for Premier League titles.

“To become the greatest, Van Dijk has to win trophies. He reached the Champions League final last season and now has a great chance of winning the Premier League.

“If Liverpool are to be crowned champions this season, Van Dijk is the one player they can least afford to lose to injury.”

Baba thanks for pasting the full gist here. Honestly I didn’t even need to see nor read his full speech before I made that comment because I know very well redknap is not mad to say Van is better than the three. Common sense.

There was a reason why Virgil was still at the Saints at that time. No club was willing to pay the insane amount of money the saints had as His get out Fee. And rightly so as He was merely just a Very good defender then not the Great one we know now.

patrickmuf:
You forget to add one of his sterling qualities, moments of brainfart.
Forget the burst of pace, he isn't a better defender than Trippier.

I did suspect you might bring this up. I don't even think he makes that many errors to begin with. He might be impetuous and get overexcited when attacking and his decision making can be funny at times but his defensive mistakes are few and far between.

Oh, Walker is definitely better when it comes to defending. Trippier sometimes gets so carried away with attacking that he forgets his defensive duties.. There has been instances this season when his defense has been called into question.

Take for example, in their home game against Barca, 3 of the goals Spurs conceded came from crosses from his own side of the pitch. Everyone blamed Lloris for the Coutinho goal and rightly so but there was also that comical attempt by Trippier to head away a long pass from midfield by Messi, which he missed and allowed Alba to get in behind. Lloris panicked and rushed out trying to close down Alba. The rest is history.

You might also remember Tottenham's 3-2 win at Wolves, a couple of weeks after that. Their Argentine youngster Juan Foyth infamously gave away 2 penalties in that game but I still remember Trippier losing the ball while trying to nutmeg an opponent in front of his box, leading to the first penalty and then losing his man in the buildup to the second pk.

Interestingly, I managed to dig up Pochettino's comments after that game. Here's what he had to say about Trippier:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/en.onefootball.com/pochettino-chides-kieran-trippier-for-defensive-lapses-mauricio-tottenham-wolves/amp/

A fantastic fullback no doubt, but he needs to focus more on the defensive side of his game.

Those who know me very well will be surprised at how critical i am of Trippier considering he is one of my favorite players but the truth must be told: which is that Walker is the better defender.

How many Saints' matches did you watch? It's normal for some quality players to be overlooked cos of the yeye teams they are playing for. But Klopp was more sensible like i opined to see beyond the average team he starred for and coughed out the amount.

Take your time and watch him in Southampton and Dutch colours before he joined Liverpool, he was Saints player of the year, 2015/2016. So its not like Boathand that was chased away to Bayern. He had been knocking on the door since and only Klopp was wise enough to open it.

That's what prompted me to check the report. Raumdeuter is irresponsible.

A few of His matches actually. Both at Celtic and the Saints. He looked good in both jerseys but I wouldn't say He stood out to the extent I thought He'd be a world beater someday a la Sandro Nesta at Lazio. He has improved year on year and is currently doing extremely well(the best Central Defender in the League). Credit to whom it's due.

Was He chased away or did He ask to be traded due to Him played everywhere but His prefered starting position? Apart from Kompany, City is yet to acquire a Central Defender as good as Him since His departure.

I actually took note of VVD at Celtic.

airmark:


Yes, just as Shevy was one of the best strikers in the world, before he came to Chelsea, Krychowiak was the best before he joined PSG. Also Belotti was better than your spineless Morata, before he got his ligament damaged.

Now can you tell your mentor he was stupid for rating Klose above Ibra? Can you tell us if tallness is a talent?

I don't deal in the past. Belotti is not the only player who has had a ligament tear. Yet they are doing good..


Should we go and ask Owen what happened to him when he injured his ligament??

TBH I was surprised he ended up at Southampton. He was more error prone and rash then because he was younger, and yet he was still good enough for a top 6 side.

as responsible as you are, you don't even know when a man took "akpuru achia" before entering the studio.


That statement is false. Van dijk is Ferdinand, vidic, Terry, puyol, maldini rolled into one..

Unlimited22:

No one says he's not good. He's a very good defender, IMO the best in the EPL currently. However, for you to be compared to such legends, you need to be consistently good for a number of seasons and pick up a few trophies along the way.

stay on course don't be distracted. Those na normal thing. Humans tend to have that now feeling. They forget the past and ignore what the future holds. Na normal thing. No be today. Just like for me. No footballer currently plays as good as delima. But we get flawed by what we are seeing now.
VVD is good. Those ones na devil wen won set am up.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Wenger (Arsenal) passed on the opportunity to sign him when he was at Celtic because he was "too nonchalant".
The club instead paid 16m pounds for Chambers. Southampton then bought VVD for 13m. They couldn't believe their luck.

Just one of the many fuckkkc ups that's associated with Wenger's later years at Arsenal.
