Yorkie Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Gonna chuck Cabaye in as an NUFC shout. He was good and one of the better CMs in my time supporting the club but he had plenty of games where he was either anonymous or a bit of a liability. Bellamy as a controversial one for the hell of it. Just so unreliable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Some older ones: Martin Demichelis - not a clue how this bloke held down regular spots for Argentina and Bayern. Slow and error prone throughout his career. Roberto Carlos - loved watching him play and while he was great going forward, he was a woeful defender. Ironically, he'd have have thrived in a modern wing back position. Claude Makelele - a very tidy defensive midfielder, but there have been far better players in the holding role before and after his career. He's often described as a pioneer and while I can get on board with him being an excellent player, he's far too revered. Frank Ribery - excellent in spells, but far too inconsistent to be considered a great. Neymar - at one point, mentioned in the same breath as Messi and Ronaldo, but even in his prime years, his number nor his success come close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 They call him one of the best left-backs ever - but is Ashley Cole really on the same level as Maldini? Perhaps one of those ones I didn't appreciate enough during his playing career Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) I’ve often thought that there’s a certain clumsiness or something awkward about Alisson Becker which leads me to think he’s perhaps not as good as what people think. But everything I’ve heard from players and coaches is on the contrary so I must be wrong and it’s just an unorthodox style which works very well for him. Trent is certainly one though, he’s very talented but the rhetoric around him for the past 3 years is that he’s the best right back in the world bar none, which I don’t believe to be the case at all.

Was weird as well, because I remember him calling him up and it being a big deal that he hadn't picked Cole as well. Then after that Lee never really got a proper look in.

Jenas was good when here and it was pretty frustrating when he left from what I remember. He bottled some big pens for Spurs and never really hit the highest levels, but not sure anyone rated him more than what he was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Grealish the massive wet fanny. Fuck knows how he went for that price, looks gash everytime I have seen him play. More interested in poncing about like a cunt and flinging his floppy haired carcass on the deck every time someone farts next to him.
