For me, Franz Beckenbauer is in a class of his own. No one comes close. From the rest of the defenders in history, Nesta is my favorite. Has some unbelievable moments of brilliance, especially in the CL. True, but he sometimes played as a sweeper.
Great to see the site back up. But not as good as seeing that team performance yesterday. Drogba was a beast. Mata and Sturridge were great on the wings (though the latter needs to learn to f*cking pass the ball!). Luiz had his best performance in a blue shirt imo, and big Pete was class.
I'm not sure how wise that decision is. What if one of our center backs got injured and we needed Alex to cover? Or maybe Luiz is suspended for the city game and we can't play Iva in the center because playing Bos vs Silva is suicide?! I wonder if something other than simple transfer requests is going on behind the scenes...
