manpe 10,861 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Just now, Pizy said: Not often you see Toni struggle physically but he got manhandled by Rondon today. Not really his fault  because Rondon probably outweighs him massively. Hard to watch, though. Now imagine somebody like AC or Ampadu instead of Rüdi. They'd get destroyed. Perfect example why a respectable EPL team needs to have at least one tank of a CB. Pizy, Fernando and OneMoSalah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in a bad moment and it had nothing to do with you, I tend to impulsively become a douchebag when my head's not on right. I do respect your contribution here. Nice list there also, I agree with it  Manpe bro, it's water under the bridge. I have been known to lose my head easily too. Appreciate the apology. manpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz would be in the next 5 or 10. Purely for offensive/passing skill. CB is by far the deepest postion in global football atm. CMF is next. Then winger.

No CB out there can do what he does on the ball consistently. He is close to the top 30, but age scuppers him, as well as a history of crazy bad mistakes. And you must not watch many other leagues to claim no other CB doesnt what he does on the ball. That all said, no issues with him at all atm, he is a huge positive for us. We need to keep him for a year or maybe 2 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues defender was the last of many players including Eden Hazard, David Luiz, Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso to go to apologise to the travelling support on Sunday. Stewards at the Etihad Stadium stepped in to pull away from the supporter, who was shouting at the Chelsea centre back, as he handed his shirt over. snip Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
