MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I've seen way way worse than this and multiple times at that.Brazil has a few problems building a top team right now because they lack top players in certain key positions, like the freaking striker. Although the defenders are good they are both ball playing which is also not good. Cm is the real problem as Fernandinho and Gustavo are average.Back to Oscar though you are wrong and time will prove you wrong. Doesn't matter how many times you and others come here and rant, because he will start and play and then start againg next season. He will become a better #8 as he matures. Right now he's lampard lite but hopefully in future he can become his own player.Lampard at 23 was a better player than whatever Oscar has shown now. Besides, they are nothing alike; different players, different qualities, different positions, so the point its moot. Apart from a few wonder goals here and there, Oscar has shown nothing special. The whole Brazilian NT team is average by their standards and so is the talent, like I've not seen before. Definitely not in the 90's and Brazil had great teams and great players in the 80's, arguably even more so than the 90's, and the list of greats in the 70's, is endless. So I don't know what time period you're talking about there when you say you've seen "way worse".Saying their defenders are good is ridiculous especially after they got annihilated 7-1 at the World Cup. Miranda, Danilo and Luis are all good defenders for their clubs, but it remains to be seen how they play in the NT. BESIDES, that wasn't my main point. I was pointing out the lack of decent talent Brazil have been struggling to produce for a while now, something you didn't bother responding to in any meaningful fashion. I cited examples from their youth teams, you did not. I don't even know why I respond to stuff like this, but whatever. nyikolajevics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take away Lamps goals and he would have nothing left to his game - even mourinho mentioned it not long ago.I am Brazilian and 43 so I think I know a bit more about the Brazilian side history than you do. This team is/was average but at least the players are young. I've seen average and old.If you, like Didier, think Brazil made that fiasco because of the defenders then I have nothing else to discuss with you. It'd would be the same as blaming Terry and Cahill for every goal we concede... now that'd be a ridiculous thing, right? Stingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Take goals away from Ronaldo and he's not that good anymore.All his ridicoulus athletic atributes : pace, agility, stenght, jumping would make him very good player. Add to that close controll and dribbling and he'd still be elite player. Lampard never got technique of Ronaldo nor his atheticism.Besides Ronaldo is a striker not a midfielder. You'd make list of tens forwards who without goals would be way way worse. Can't say that about too many midfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripen 110 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Still take away the goals and lamps is just not that a special player any more.Stupid argument IMO. Yeah, maybe if you take away he's goals then he is not a special but just a good/decent player but he actually did scored that goals. He's timing, he's scoring ability etc. was terrific. That 211 goals was not a accident and he is very special player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampard is one of the best Chelsea players ever and one of the best midfielders ever (in the league, maybe even the world).No such a thing is being done.Lampard was a top player because of his ability to score goals as a midfielder! Goals change games and win matches so obviously he was a special player.And yes Ronaldo would turn into a quaresma without the goals as skill wise he's nowhere near messi.

Goals change games and win matches so obviously he was a special player.And yes Ronaldo would turn into a quaresma without the goals as skill wise he's nowhere near messi.If you take away Lampard's goals he would still have a crazy amount of assists, more than Xavi's and Iniesta combined btw and not any worse in quality. OUtside of the boot, defence splitters, 60 yarders, those intricate short range passers that lay it on a plate perfectly for the striker, lobs, backheel assists. He once even did an interception and a wonder assist for anelka with a single touch. Also his dribbling ability is criminally underrated. Despite lacking pace he used to go on a mazy run once in a while to create space for teammates, like famously nutmegging balotelli, XAbi Alonso e.g. Also his crossing was excellent. When he stil had a bit of pace he also had pretty awesome tackling. His reading of the game stands for itself, too. Also he was an incredible big match player who could impose himself on big game even if that did not suit him. More than because of his goals Lampard was special because he was one of the most all-round world class players ever. Oscar will never be that good.

Simple but extremely effective.No such a thing is being done.Lampard was a top player because of his ability to score goals as a midfielder! Goals change games and win matches so obviously he was a special player.And yes Ronaldo would turn into a quaresma without the goals as skill wise he's nowhere near messi.That's the issue right there. Many have become so blinded by Lampard's goals that they can't even see his other qualities. He's really a much more complete midfielder than people give him credit for. commilin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because his style of play turned to predator, he's seen as a poacher with freak physique. It's not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
