But as a CB I think he's always been fair enough. He's decent at what he does. If you get him a really good CB partner he's a good option. CBs probably one of the most important positions in football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpache 672 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Just now, Dr. Gonzo said: CBs probably one of the most important positions in football But it doesn't always rely on both CB's though. You can have a good CB next to an elite player and you'll still do well. Now the following I don't know if it's true or not, but rather my observation. I found that Van Dijk transformed that Liverpool team when he first joined, without the other CB being elite. That's kind of what I'm getting at. Reid isn't elite but he's good enough to hold his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey 1,192 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 It's probably worth noting whether this thread is to establish the best XI in the world or the best XI from players from each continent. Players from the South American leagues or any other continent would not get in ahead of those from Europe. The difference in quality between Europe and the rest of the world is colossal.

Reid isn't elite but he's good enough to hold his own. We’re trying to make the best XI under weird constraints. If we want to have an Oceana player in this... then I’ll add a couple of other constraints: 1 Oceana player 3 African players the rest can be from wherever as long as it’s not Europe, Africa, or South America - but I think it’s just one player then.

Brilliant how 8 hours later at half 3 there is a debate still going on about whether Tapia deserved to be in a World XI. Fucking excellent !

Looking at this, a very dynamic team that kills you on the wings and has good finishing from Suarez, and a very pragmatic midfield. Reid to be a sort of sweeper and Koulibaly to be a ball playing defender. If it was 5 years ago, my team would have been this. Navas Alves - Bonucci - Reid - Marcelo Pirlo Toure - Guardado Messi --------------------Ronaldo Cahill African football was definitely a lot more diverse back then, with the amount of options I had in mind. Had to go with Toure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 5,103 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Fabinho is shit Goretzka isn't a defensive mid Verratti is shitter Kante is pretty good still If those are the best examples of dms across world football maybe Tapia is the best DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been too sold on M'bappe, especially watching games like this, there was one game (United maybe?) he fucking five or six chances so badly and jsut couldn't do anything properly. Also hasn't Alexander-Arnold been kind out of it this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
