velo army Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Modric doesn't appear to be especially strong or wonderfully useful defensively. He's the player I find most comparable to BG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing.McCrosby Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 The guys on posting about football on a football thread. Why not take this to the General nonsense thread? Or just give it a miss altogether as its clearly just bullying. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the same time he's had that opportunity to develop over time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 It was interesting seeing Camavinga come on and play LB for France in the World Cup final and completely ball. We have Hamish Husband’s argue that Gilmour is only good when played in the right position, in the right role, surrounded by good players, with a top manager, and if a bigger players doesn’t push him around. Levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Pity that Supeppras distracted everyone from physical traits in footballers; I was wondering if we'd get on to phrenology with regard to natural leadership abilities and tactical nous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satoshi Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) 11 hours ago, BingMcCrosby said: Ok quite simply, if you have 2 teams of equal abilities. One is taller and stronger and one is smaller and weaker. Who do you think would win?? The smaller and weaker team would almost certainly be more agile and have more acceleration. So a team of 6 foot 9 players versus those of 5 foot 9 would almost certainly lose even if their technical ability was equal. They would lumber around the pitch having the ball passed around them. There's a reason football players don't look like basketball players (and we are much better for it). I honestly can't believe you don't realise this. There's a reason very tall outfield players are quite rare. You do have previous for absolutely wild calls though. Still think 11 Jordan Henderson's beat 11 Messis? If not, name the 11 x players who would. 11 hours ago, HalfCutNinja said: You mean Brighton and Chelsea who didn't give him a game yeah? I didn't address any of your 'points' cause they're drivel and life's too short. Brighton signed him in a multi million pound deal and the Chelsea owner personally asked to stay, intimating the manager was about to get sacked. Gilmour isn't the finished article, he has plenty to work on, the idea that his size will prevent him reaching the top is ludicrous given there are plenty of top level current and former players with his body type. The evidence suggests that being shorter is even an advantage for the role he players, not many great 6 foot+ central playmakers, most are shorter than that and some significantly so. Life isn't too short to correct people who are clearly wrong. Usually, if you can't respond to the points made in a post because you don't have any response, you would leave the thread, not keep posting but ignoring the counters to the nonsense you have been spouting. Gilmour won't make it because he is too weak - here's an easy question for the fantasist ex pro - how long do you think it takes to add 3-4kg of muscle mass? 10 hours ago, BingMcCrosby said: Im finding it quite funny you being called out for saying gilmour would improve if he gains some muscle mass. It must be the most obvious thing that literally anybody could pinpoint as an area for him to improve. Yet apparently its not If gilmour wasn't on a program to do so at Chelsea and Brighton I'd be absolutely staggered. It's completely banal, like a fan suggesting strikers should work on shooting in training. Are people really that stupid? If Gilmour needs to work on his strength he will be, the sports scientists will understand his ideal muscle mass and so will he. It's very easy to put muscle on, if that is the direction he will do it and quickly. It's much easier to make a technical footballer stronger than a strong footballer more technical. The idea he won't make it because he is too weak is directly contradicted by a whole mass of evidence - not least the current best players in the world. But we all know you won't bother responding to any of this, actual points and information snooker you guys - you would simply rather talk about anything else. 10 hours ago, HalfCutNinja said: Of course he is. That's normal. He will have been since he was about 18. If you look at the two players in front of him at Brighton that's the first and most obvious difference between him and them. They're absolute powerhouses, he's powderpuff. You'd be delighted to be in direct opposition to him. Probably the easiest midfielder in the premiership to play against right now. That's why his managers don't play him in the premiership. Probably the easiest midfielder to play in the premiership He has played 100% of his league games in the premiership, it's the only league he knows. If he was so dreadful he would not have had his Chelsea contract extended, his owner ask him to stay, then sign for Brighton in a multi million long contract. You simply could not have got it more wrong. Edited December 21, 2022 by Satoshi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
