A40: This is stupid. So you won't consider missed chances that were off the target, when calculating the efficiency in front of goal, of an attacker? You are even comparing a Central forward to wingers in this convo? Dayo should lock you up. ![]() 3 Likes |

Imagine praising pirlo just to undermine Jorginho and forget that pirlo had the great Chelini and bonuci behind him and vidal, and co as his partners. The same pirlo that benched in ac milan. Why? Even after conte left Pirlo didnt last in Juve before he left does that mean pirlo was a poor player? NO (conte probably tried to do the same thing with Fabregas when Matic left.. Kante cant cover the whole midfield by himself) Ac milan didnt have good defense, Thiago silva must have left by then to PSG. You cant play a regista and have horrible defenders. Even pep knows this. The only reason Jorginho would be sold is because of Lampard and not because of Jorginho's quality. It might have been the reason Jorginho didnt stay in Napoli when Anceloti joined, some managers dont like or know how to use them properly. 1 Like |

donstan18: 1) Who now helps Barcelona during corners or free kicks? Is it Messi and Alba? When he was surrounded with them Xavi, Iniesta, Alves, Alba, Neymar, Pedro, and Macherano, who were the people helping Barcelona with set pieces or crosses? 3) Busquets has a reputation for being at the right place at the right time, making vital interceptions and of course doing the dirty jobs. He did not just become a constant in Barcelona midfield only just because he can pass. Griezmann who has been on Balon d'or podium came to Barcelona and is finding it difficult to fit in. It is not a crime if a player can not fit into a system, that's why there are different systems suitable for different players. 4 Likes |

BlueAngel444: A good goalie complements a good defence. I am afraid the reverse was the case with Victor Valdez as it is now with Kepa - though the later hasn't had good defenders. When Courtoir was our goalie, his height was an advantage which he used really well - something our current keeper lacks. During Conte's title winning season, Courtoir's ability to catch corner kicks with ease aided our counter attacking football. His size made it difficult to score him during tight one on one situations. His size also meant that he could dive for balls with ease. Point is, Kepa is too small to be a goalie. |

donjazet: How many times did Chelsea fans ask Kante to fvck off for costing us matches on a reg? No player is above mistakes, but when you are known for this, and you only depend on your teammates to survive, you are sh1t. The same thing we complain on Jorginho, is the same thing sensible Barca fans complained about Busquets. Jorginho's frailties are not masked simply because he is playing in Epl. Busquets never made any Fifa XI, despite winning trophies both for Spain and Barca. Experts know the primary job of a DM - DEFENSIVE Midfielder. 2 Likes

BlueAngel444: Don't use mourinho's impatience and shortsightedness to blame salah for his time at Chelsea and pls dont generalize. Some of us never for once supported that single decision and it's the more reason why some of us don't really get along with our fellow Chelsea fans both online and offline for not not supporting a man majority sees no wrong in whatever he does. |

TheRealProphet1:Matic helped Fabregas when we won EPL, if Matic was of no help to Kante then replacing him would have been easy. Matic had aerial presence and defensive presence though he was static at times but he had his uses in midfield even Conte didnt want him to leave. There are some players it's when they leave you understand what it missing. We know Kante can't cover ever where Busquets may also shine playing with Kante, never can tell ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

airmark:All shots are not created equal. If they were guys like OPTA would not break things down further and have separate categories for actual chances missed. Your brain's OS is still on Windows 95 when everyone else is using Windows 10. No wonder you're still using Appearances instead of minutes played like every other up to date analyst. Onye nzuzu! You're still foolishly asking me why I'm comparing CF to a winger? Why does that matter? Who takes more shots at Liverpool between Salah and Firmino. You are so dense walahi 3 Likes |

homesteady:1. Set pieces and counter attacks through wings which normally leads to crossing have been Barcelona weakest point then, and still now. If we must mention players that have contributed immensely while facing set pieces, we'll be mentioning Umtiti, Pique and even Puyol because he's got a good jump and nodding accuracy. Kindly check the aforementioned players and you'll agree with me that they do score with head also during set pieces in their opponent's box 18. Busquet is very useless to Barcelona when it comes to set pieces. 2. The reputation he built in Barcelona then was as a result of paring with midfield maestros like Xavi and Inesta, and this is why.... During that era. Barcelona's midfielders got no business with interceptions, you can only intercept regularly when you are being possessed. Then, they'll posses you and do the play, while you do the marking. They cruise to create, you chase to stop, which gives you, the chaser chances of getting interceptions. Busquet is good, but defensively useless. He can only fit in, in a club like in-form Barcelona and Barcelona. He's very useless without Inesta and Xavi, because without these two, a high defensive prowess will be needed. Can Busquet give that? No!! I agree with your last line. |

swiz123:I dont know if the reverse is the case, expect you mention one good goalkeeper that had bad defenders even Leicester GK has good defenders. For Courtios, Luiz was good in the air and defending corners. Even GK with height have weaknesses in catchinh very low balls, or being quick to bend and block. Suddenly Kepa is now too small to be a goalie since when. How big was Cassilas? or Fabian Barthez. Is Kepa's poor perfomance as bad as Courtios 2015/16 or at some various points before this season. Looking at Courtios in belgium and him at Chesea that 2018 the difference was the defense. #simple I knew Chelsea shouldnt have spent 70m on a GK when they could have bought a CB for that amount and look for some cheap and good alternative |

BlueAngel444: David De gea of 2 years ago is a classic example of a good goalie with bad defenders in the name of smalling, Jones and young. Yet, he still shone. Courtois performance has never been as poor as Kepa's. Conte deliberately undermined Courtois by keeping that clown Christensen in front of him. In appreciation, Christensen thanked Conte for his troubles by playing a pass across the defence line against Barcelona to deliciously find Iniesta who cut back for Messi and Voila!! Courtois was disgraced... Atleti defeated Liverpool, not because of defensive errors but the goalkeeping errors... I still maintain that: A good goalie complements a good defence and not the other way round |
