reina v cech

 

[jd2010]

Cech by the length of the Flemington straight.

Comparing one of the best in recent history and a good solid keeper there

Fernando Torres 2013/14 Vs Radamel Falcao 2014/15

Tough one.

Impossible to split for me.

 

[Super Hans]

Ronaldo/Benzema/Bale vs Ronaldo/Rooney/Tevez

 

[Freight Train]

As a pure winger, Figo.

Best winger of the last 15 years IMO.

See, this is where things get very interesting and I think the argument is valid. Figo was a Balon d'Or winner in an era with about 10-15 quality superstars in contention. I think if you had Figo in this era, he'd be up with Ronaldo and Messi- the only reason Figo never broke goal scoring records was because at club level he had Ronaldo/Raul in front of him at Real, Zlatan in front of him at Inter and Pauleta in front of him internationally. Also arguably a better leader than Cristiano.

Figo wasn't a goal scoring winger in the same sense Ronaldo is. He was a pure winger who would play on the right side majority of the time, and right footed. A rarity these days with all these inside forwards.

Just about the best crosser I've seen. Both feet, could dribble, wasn't slow, plenty of technique too.

Don't think he'd ever break goal scoring records. The most goals he scored in a season was 10.

If you want to compare two different types of players be my guest. Don't need my permission, but I presume I'm allowed to point out the obvious to you?

I think you picking Sterling and ADL9798 picking Coutinho is 1-4 each. So it's all good.

 

[Benno_900]

Koscielny vs Sakho

No Liverpool or Arsenal supporters please.

Ha ha, I think the heady heights of a 1 game winning streak is getting to you jod.

I haven't picked Sterling or Coutinho fwiw, like all the other comparisons in the thread I'll leave that for those that like that sort of thing. I'm happy with Sterling at the club so why should I care about another clubs player?

All a bit of fun mate. Couldnt believe the result myself. You'll still win the league quite comfortably IMO.

Lucky for Skrtel's volley too otherwise all the "for one" jokes wouldnt work with "three one"

 

[Indie_]

Koscielny vs Sakho

No Liverpool or Arsenal supporters please.

It's definitely Koscielny. Has played elite football for much longer and much more consistently than Sakho. Sakho on his best day might be a little better than Koscielny's, but Koscielny's consistency definitely gives him the edge.

 

[WowWeee]

Kos

 

[moomba]

I'm sure you could come up with some decent ones.

The sick swan game at Old Trafford remains the best though.

 

[Cruyff14]

Henry vs Suarez.

Ridiculously tough to split. I'd take Henry but only cos he is my favourite player of all time.

 

[Benno_900]

And you still severely underrate him.
