>le get fucked by messi every time man
>>66334804
so did boateng and probably ever other world class CB that's ever played messi in an important game (for barca)
>>66334808
that's true I was just memeing, Godin's great but still Messi has like 22 goals against Atletico iirc
>>66334826
such is life for patetico in la liga, forever second (or third) fiddle
can't imagine they're going to get by MSN this year
>>66334841
>forever second (or third) fiddle
they won the league less than 2 years ago
haven't Atletico still only conceded like 14 league goals all season?
incredible record.
im not too sure how you can only concede 14 goals in 30-odd games, but still manage to be 9 points off the league leaders. they mus have a terrible amount of bad luck
Still no vidic back in his day tho
>>66334855
and got cucked in the CL final in their year of triumph by the other madrid team after having the game in the bag
>>66334863
If that makes you feel any better, Diego Costa didn't win that year too.
>>66334856
because Barca have cheated by signing Suarez and Neymar
>>66334856
>they mus have a terrible amount of bad luck
Being stuck in one league with this Barcelona is pretty bad luck
>>66334861
Vidic wasn't even the best defender on his team.
Smalling is better la
Phil Jones is world class too
best CB partnership of the past decade
>>66334788
Moreno is better than this sudaca
>>66335064
CHI
>ywf so many replies
>no John Stones yet
>>66335064
(you)
>>66335070
He's been sit lately, stop memeing
>>66334788
can't prove you wrong lad
Yeah he's great, the best thing is he looks like an accountant or government worker instead of a footballer
People on /sp/ were saying the exact same things about Otamendi because he looked good in a defensive system playing against part-time impoverished paella farmers
Otamendi in the PL has been dreadful, he seemingly doesn't know how to hold a line and is constantly jumping into missed tackles after making a poor decision - he's literally been worse than Demichelis this season
It's what you get when you buy the meme player of the moment instead of doing proper scouting.
>>66334788
ricardo carvalho 2.0, solid as fuck but with no charisma, i hate when top defenders are overshadowed by marketing shits that are better regarded thanks to fifa/pes like terry or ramos
>>66335182
>People on /sp/ were saying the exact same things about Otamendi
Come on now Brian you know that's not true
You're also forgetting how Godin owned the fuck out of your idiot pacebabbys in the World Cup
>>66335182
If every single CB they try at City under Pellegrini looks awful (even one that looked good under Mancini like Kompany), then maybe the problem isn't with the CBs
>>66335201
>Godin
>no charisma
wat? you seem to be confusing popularity and marketability with on pitch charisma
>>66335182
tbf no serious person rates otamendi the same, I thought Valencia must be laughing all the way to the bank with that transfer
>>66334808
Boateng was great in the WC final. In the CL semis he played decently until his embarassing mistake.
Nesta famously shut out Messi in the Barca-Milan encounters.
>>66335182
Except he's been the best defender in La Liga for 3 years now
And made it to the UCL final
And won La Liga
>>66335240
>Nesta famously shut out Messi in the Barca-Milan encounters.
m8... AC Milan is Messi's 2nd favourite CL victim, he has like 9 goals against them

Name the 10 best CB's right now.
>>66334788
anybody know why he wasn't called for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers?
>>66335231
yep, i meant charisma as in popularity
>>66335331
I thought he was injured, he won't be playing against Barcelona
>>66335331
Injuried, as Gimenez and Savic,
>>66335323
Boateng, Bonucci, Barzagli, Pique, Godin, Alderweireld, Thiago Silva, Hummels, Murillo, Smalling
The only ones I'm unsure of are Silva and Hummels since I didn't watch enough PSG/BVB this season but they were very impressive when I did and are getting very good reviews this season.
And no, I'm not a United fan but Smalling has been mighty impressive this season
>>66335403
Is Alderweireld doing that well this year? I don't pay attention to spurs games
>>66335432
Yes, he was already very good last season and this year he has been the best defender on the best defence in the Premier League
>>66335403
Miranda is doing better than Murillo tbf
don't mind me just single-handedly saving Norwich from relegation
>>66335323
Godin, Boateng, Chiellini, Thiago Silva, Barzagli, Bonucci, Gimenez, Pique, Morgan, Huth
Genuinely not even memeing with the last two.
>>66335461
They're close, I chose Murillo because he's younger and has a lot of potential.
The only thing I noticed Miranda being much better at is heading.
>>66335506
Miranda is head and shoulders the better player than Murillo
>>66335403
>Murillo
not even the best CB at Inter
Reminder that the best centre back in the PL is Ashley Williams
besides Godin
are there any other CBs that actually give a fuck?
>>66335892
yeah plenty
what the fuck kind of question is that
>>66335711
>Ireland bandwagoning a Welsh team
gross
Does /sp/ rate Glik?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6f9siUlFTA
>People unironically still don't rate Pique last season.
>>66335403
Replace Chilleni with Bonucci and this is spot on
>>66336086
Ummm he already has Bonucci who Barcelona should buy because he's a good distributor of the ball and I'm sick of the Jeremy Mathieu leads the comeback for the opposition episodes
