Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Carvalho was better than both if we are talking about underrated centre-backs. Vidic is a classier John Terry, Ferdinand is/was the better centre-back for Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest je85 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I was thinking about this last week when all the journos on twitter were posting their all time FergieXI, the majority I saw had a Vidic Stam partnership. Personally I think Rio's better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Vidic is your steriotypical brick shithouse defender. He gets fucking raped outside the 18 yard box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Vidic is your steriotypical brick shithouse defender. He gets f***ing raped outside the 18 yard box. Bit like Terry. For me the best defenders in our league have been the better technical ball playing ones such as Carvalho, Woodgate, King, Colo, Ferdinand etc. Al comfortably better than your John Terry's and Jamie Charagher's who throw themselves at everything and everyone. Great for when you're under the cosh and dealing with crosses and big fuck off centre-forwards but a bit of guile, pace, movement and trickery and they often look shit. Terry is a classic example of that especially at international level. By the way, Newcastle in Colo, Woodgate and Albert have probably had the classiest centre-backs in the League.

The College Dropout Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 In his prime you wouldn't have a player torment Ferdinand the way Torres would Vidic. Just wouldn't happen. For a good 5 years, Ferdinand was an integral part of what was a very solid English defence. Whether with Campbell or Terry. In general, I see more plaudits for the Carragher/Terry type defenders than Colo/Ferdinand more athletic and ball playing type and I reckon this has an affect on the type of player we produce in England. We have international central midfielders who are not as comfortable on the ball as Carvalho, Luiz, Lucio, King, Ferdinand. Little was made of the fact that Coloccini has a better first touch, comfort on the ball, intelligence of space than Stoke's midfield pairing. It's well documented that are midfielders and attackers lack the technique of their continental counterparts but it's also true and important in defence/gk's too.

Sifu Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hard to say actually. At the moment, Vidic is definitely better than Ferdinand. Injuries (and thus loss of form) seemed to have knacked Rio's chances of being first choice really. Shame. But for the majority of Rio's Man U career, he has been solid so his contribution to Man U can't be forgotten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 imho Ferdinand looked a bit hopeless at times before Vidic arrived and Vidic is just the better defender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Vidic has been the better of the two the past 2-3 years as Ferdinand's career has taken a dive because of his injuries. But at their respective peaks, Ferdinand was much better. He had much more to this game, I don't think I could name a "type" of striker that could torment him in the way that certain mobile strikers are always going to torment Vidic.

Pace to burn, great in the air and read the game outstandingly too. Hansen and Lawrenson were also outstanding but lacked McGrath's physical presence.

Andy Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I love how the thread title specifically states the subject of the thread, yet people still make the effort to click on it and then say "who cares". Ferdinand, for me, was the better of the two at their respective peaks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
