Rafalove Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 45 minutes ago, Chicken Dancer said: Since it's been debated a fair bit on social media since the weekend, are we buying into the assessment from Carragher that VVD is the best CB in Premier League history? Definitely not for me. Had a fantastic few years and I know stats don't always tell the full story, but there's at least a few I'd have ahead of him. Van Dijk at his peak was better than the others but that seems to have been short lived. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 It's the higher peak vs lower peak for longer debate isn't it? In our case Pope vs Given, or even Bruno vs Rob Lee for some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Longevity has to be a factor when naming someone as the best ever in a competition. Bruno Fernandes would be our greatest ever player if it was only based on 12-18 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather would have stuck with him than bring in the likes of Butt and Geremie. At his Championship scoring rate, you’d think he’d get 4-6 a season in the Prem.

Yorkie Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Looks like he got subbed on for about 15 minutes here (before being withdrawn), but certainly didn't provide an assist or anything. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6491071.stm () Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 You can use transfermarkt to see very quickly a player's potted history (the red and green arrows on the right hand side are subbed on and off): https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/darren-ambrose/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/4086/plus/1?saison=&verein=358&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id= That Wigan game posted by Yorkie is the only occasion in Ambrose's Charlton career (in fact it's the only occasion in his entire career) that he was subbed on and then withdrawn. He might have been brought on to take a free kick, impossible to know, but the rest is just bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Random question Was talking to someone yesterday about the time when we had two players on the pitch with the same shirt number (due to a blood injury). Can anybody remember the game or the player involved, its been annoying me for a while now I seem to recall it being an away game and perhaps Lascelles wore number 2?
