On that Suazo goal, it was a compromised pass from Nesta but what was with Ambrosini being such a pussy? At least try for it.

You see that is the problem when people really favour a player. Not that I want to support lrd, but that was 100% nesta's fault in the first place, and then he made a half-arsed challenge when the guy when past him, so 2 mistakes from him led to the goal, and somehow ambrosini should take the blame or part of it?
Nesta is great, but overrated as well. He plays consistently at a high level, but there is not a gap between him and the rest like people like to make out. He'd have the same problems against someone like drogba that other top defenders have, or torres, for example.

Re: The world's best Central defender?
King has been faultless everytime I've ever seen him play. Great composure, positioning and technique. Best in the world? Doubtful, purely because this award must go to someone who plays regularly at international and CL level too.
Currently, Chiellini has impressed me, even though Juve struggling this season.
I'd say:
1) Nesta
2) Lucio (Brazil's defence is rock, and Lucio is the reason)
3) Ferdinand

No wonder how that came about. His one year in Real Madrid smashed his rep and it would take him some time before he even recovered his form for Inter.bluenine wrote:Black Magic wrote:Mongrel Hawk needs to sort you guys out - Lucio? Maybe 4 years ago, these days Juan is the man.

You mean "his rep" in europe.... his form for Inter has been excellent since his first season here... its been as good as it was at Roma.

Re: The world's best Central defender?
I think people look at the fact he doesn't even make his international team, and the fact he flopped/was exposed at Real Madrid.
I don't recall Samuel ever doing well in the CL. He's never peformed great at a world cup.
Top 3 defender not for 95% of the footballing public and with good reason.

He doesn't get called because Argentina's manager is a crazy drug addict. He's clearly Argentina's best defender.
You don't watch Samuel in the CL lrd, unless he is playing against an English side (but he was injured against Liverpool and Man Utd).
He only played in the WC 2002, where he was very good and Argentina didn't concede a goal from open play.

I think Samuel is one of the few Inter players who have done well in the CL... you can use that logic with the likes of Ibra or Stankovic, but surely not agianst the likes of Samuel or Cesar.

Re: The world's best Central defender?
I'm sorry to bump such an old thread but it's a amazing how underrated Samuel is or at least was on here,Samuel with 0 votes,Terry with 4 and Ferdinand with 7
Look at Ferdinand without his pace now,he's not half the player.

Re: The world's best Central defender?
As opposed to trying to make people look stupid for posts they made two years ago, who is the best central defender in the world at the moment.
The consensus does appear to be Thiago Silva. Who I haven't really seen enough of, but always seems to go about his job with minimum fuss. So does Mexes for Milan to be fair.
In the Premiership, I think Kompany is the best defender. Amazingly, I have been impressed with Jonny Evans this season. That isn't to say he is anywhere near the best in the world, mre a pat on the head. And Koscielny deserves some credit too.

Probaly Thaigo Silva at the moment,I prefer Vidic to Kompany in the DPL.Kompany didn't look great in the CL.

To the best of my knowledge, Vidic is currently in a coma or dead. Not sure how he can be the best central defender in the league.

Re: The world's best Central defender?
Well in that case I guess you where wrong when you said Thiago Silva was probably the best CB in the world since I doubt he is near anywhere as good with a pulled hamstring.

Desperate. Thiago Silva is at the peak of his career, and is out for a few weeks. He'll clearly return to his best.
Vidic is 30, and has missed pretty much the whole season.

So you've looked through 2 years of my posting and this is the best you have to show for it?
Even then you can't actually dispute anything I have said. Instead of a picture of star trek how about you explain where I am wrong.
