midds Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Neuer as keeper, Dani Alves and Marcelo as full backs. Centre halves are really difficult as a lot of really good centre halves are made to look better or worse because of the other centre half with them or the way the team is set up See this is what I mean. I'm talking about the best back 4 plus keeper you could assemble, all things considered. I'd love to go for Ramos at CB but mainly for his goals at corners, bringing the ball out of defence I'd perhaps go for Luiz but they've both got fundamental flaws as CBs. It's difficult.

Tooj Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I'd say Bonucci is better than Luiz at bringing the ball out from the back but he's had a nightmare this season. A couple of years ago I'd have put Boateng in there but injuries have knacked him a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 What happened to the 6 second rule for goalkeepers with the ball? Is it even a rule anymore? Adrian just collected it and had hold of it for 16 seconds and it felt like a pretty normal (now) length of time he had it, even though he's clearly time wasting already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 It's abused way too much. Most keepers take the absolute piss when their team is in the lead, but then why not, given that it's never really enforced. There should be some leeway, sure, for keepers when they are crowded. But you often see keepers hold on for 15-20 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. http://theifab.com/laws/fouls-and-misconduct/chapters/indirect-free-kick No idea where I heard that from, I thought it was said on here when I asked the same question a while ago.

joeyt Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I thought it got changed too so it was down to referee interpretation and not the 6 second rule anymore. Maybe it was just a rumour that never got implemented Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just hit me that it would be interesting to watch a game where you're allowed to punch the ball. Obviously part of the game would be very different, but it would remove all the contentious penalty decisions. Anyone else interested in seeing a game like that or believe it could possibly be better than the game we've got now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
