what are the most important attributes for a striker to have?
dribblin
the ability to score goals lol
probably pace
look how important it was to so many top players before they lost it
Torres, Rooney, Ronaldo etc
Positioning
Accurate shot
Powerful shot
Good heading ability
Able to track back to help defend when needed
Good technical ability to go into spaces
>>67279541
>track back and defend
No
>>67279520
Other than finishing ? ball control and positioning
I was looking for this webm thx
>>67279520

For a pure striker?
Very fucking simple.
Positioning, anticipation and finishing.
This guy is the most impressive striker I've ever seen. Others may be faster or have more dribble etc, but this guy was made for scoring goals.
>>67279591
Then he got a divorce and it was all over.
>first touch
>finishing
>off the ball movement
OP chose the perfect webm since that goal showcased all of those skills
>>67279520
god given genius
>>67279540
That's because they were overrated pace babby memes to begin with
David Villa wasn't nearly as fast as them but he was better in every way
Nowadays? Speed, height and a powerful shot.
Love
>>67279630
His wife left him because he became a junkie, lad.
;_;
>>67279520
any good striker needs a good bite
he needs to be stingy, you know
>>67279660
>David Villa was better than Ronaldo in every way
wut
>>67279700
>wut
He's literally the second best striker in history behind Suarez. Too bad he played for a meme club until he was 28.
>>67279520
to strike
>>67279735
you certainly have some interesting opinions
>>67279650
The difference between him and a lot of overrated shit is that he tries to get it on target as soon as possible. It's not just pace, he understands the angles that are going to hurt defenders and keepers.
The thing that drives me fucking nuts about modern footballers is their incessant need to do too much. It has to curl into the top far corner, it has to come off the outside of the boot and almost skim the inside of the post.
Too often they end up leaning back and hoofing it nowhere anyway. Vardy just tries to put it on target at pace, and usually does.

>>67279759
>Portugal in charge of throwing punchlines
>what are the most important attributes for a striker to have?
to play against really bad goalkeeper
>>67279767
Saying that Villa is the second best striker in history felt like a punch because I realized that I'm trying to debate with mental challenged people.
>>67279520
positioning, accurate shot and good technical ability
but especially positioning
>>67279536
Positioning and Anticipation
Playing backwards to the goal
Keeping the defenders busy with your movements
Hability to score goals with only 1 touch (tap ins, headers, ...)
Pace, shot or dribbling is for wingers and attacking midfielders.

>>67279520
composure is an important attribute for a striker
>>67279630
lmao
>>67279530
Slimani can't dribble shit and he is one of the best strikers in the world right now.
pace
first touch
finishing
>>67279520
A cool haircut
Being in the right place at the right time(positioning) and then not losing your head when you get the opportunity(composure)
>>67279520
Finishing and Positioning, everything else is a plus.
Being a good lad with legs.
Giant benis
Being a manlet
>>67279520

He has to be fearless
>>67279682

Off-the-ball positioning. See: Rossi, Paolo
Yea yea, this flag, this topic.
>>67279520
meme
magic
this is now suarez general
>>67279520
Kick the ball gud
People mentioned positioning and anticipation already, but to be more specific the ability to beat an offside trap. So many of Barcelona's goals are just Suarez or messi peeling away at just the right time they make it look easy
>>67280862
It's pretty amazing watching Messi and how well he anticpates when a through ball is going to be played. Watch any game when he's forward and you'll see he spends half the time offside over the blind shoulder of a defender and cuts onside just in time before the ball is played, confusing the defender as to where he is.
I never played CB but I can't see anyway to counter it. Mark him goalside and you end up with a deep line and out of postion, keep your distance and he ends up being able to turn into space and dribble on goal.
what happened to urubro
knowing when to dive and when to go for goal
>>67281097
This is one of my favorite goals IMO.
>>67281097
>there are ""people"" who unironically believe that Suarez wasn't world class before 2014
>>67281166
forgot webm
When will people accept the rat king as the greatest pure striker in history?
>>67281097
>Kuyt
Every fucking time, GOAT steal
>>67281195
Greatest? No way. But he's top 5 imo with the likes of Ronaldo, van Basten and Henry
I keep telling them m8
>>67281211
>Henry
>Ronaldo
>Van Basten
>Better than Suarez
He's the best in history, it's that simple. How many times did Henry score 31 goals in one Premier League season ?
How many times did Henry score 34 goals in one La Liga season ?
Yeah that's what I thought.
>>67281274
henry didn't play against shitty meme defenders
>>67281211
>even taking van Shitsten into consideration
>>67281044
Spatial awareness coupled with anticipation and experience allow good CBs to be competitive well into their thirties. Last season Stranzl topped the Bundesliga's tackling statistic for CBs, despite being 34 years old.
>>67281290
>La Liga 2008-2010
>Not shitty meme defenders
Henry was great but far, FAR from being the GOAT. He was barely better than Totti, Shevchenko, Crespo, Drogba...
Suarez is literally better than prime Ronaldo
>>67279520
Finishing, the rest is subjective.
>>67281314
>ranking defenders by how many tackles they make
what the fuck
Godin isn't even top 50 in tackles per game in La Liga
>>67279520
Being Spanish or playing for a Spanish club.
>>67281384
I just took the first stat that came to my head. The point I was trying to make is that experience and anticipation can make defenders competitive at a relatively old age.
>>67281314
Even then the way Messi, Ratking and Nerman time their runs you're certain to be wrongfooted half the time.
Same shit with trying to mark prime og Ronaldo. Once he gets the ball in space you're done.
>>67279782
Welcome to 4chan
>>67281404
you mean like Batistuta, Trezeguet, Inzaghi and Sheva?
>>67279755
Nice analysis. I feel similarly about Suarez. He just smacks it on target when given the chance. Not that he can't get fancy but he doesn't do it if he doesn't have to.
Too many players try to be Neymar and CR7 with 3 cutbacks and a looping curl of a finish instead of taking advantage of the fact that if you kick the ball hard and on target, reflexes often can't keep up.
Vardy uses angles and pace to create a lot of one on one chances that are essentially penalty attempts where the keeper has to guess right to avoid a goal. He takes so much power out of a keepers hands by shooting so much and so quickly. Too many players want to make the untouchable goal instead of simply beating the keeper.

Stop embarrassing yourself France, it's making me cringe.

He is a suarezfag, he can't just change his nature
positioning and anticipation
>>67281748

Wow must feel good stat padding against the likes of Troyes and Getafe
>>67281764
>>67281811
tbf to Henry though he did only really play as a striker for Arsenal. Before and after that he played LW.

He has more goals than fucking lewandoski, he ALWAYS shows up in big games. and he DOES NOT pat his stats with Penaltys like jonas.
no1 can deny slim is one of the best right now.
He needs to score goals
Top 5 strikers in the world right now
1. Suarez
2. Aubameyang
3. Higuain
4. Lewandowski
5. Zlatan
not counting Missi or Penaldo because they never were pure strikers.
Most overrated: Aguero
>>67282804
>no Benzema
he's been incredible this season
>>67282804
>obama has the most goals of anyone in a single bundesliga season since 1981
wew

Opinion: delusional
>>67282804
>Aguero overrated
>28 goals in 40 games despite injury troubles and his team being shit
Put Aguero in Real, Barca or Bayern and he'd easily score 50+ a season
>>67282804
>Higuain
MY SIDES
>>67282804
never put higuain on a list of top strikers lad, he's the biggest bottler ever
Positioning, First Touch, Finishing (ie composure, technical skill and power). you can be a world class striker with just these 3 things, sure everything else helps but as a pure striker these are the 3 big things
>>67280334
Hahahahahahha

It's obviously something Arsenal hasn't figured out since Henry left.
