le choke in finals man

That's not raheem "50mil" sterling. Henry had the goals to show for it, sterling literally has no end product.

Henry had the intelligence your average pacebabb negro doesn't

>most golden boots in PL history
>holds record for most assists in a single PL season

>>74942870
he was quite more than a pace babby though

>>74942941
nobody ever rated him in the first place, though, so I can't see how he could have been overrated

oh boy, i bet OP thinks Griezmann is France's GOAT

>>74943081
He was Linekar with pace and trickery.

>>74942870
wow this opinion is now a thing

you realise people will be shitting on all current players in 15 years time

>>74943216
CR7 and Messi played in the easiest era.

>>74942906
You know, he also won a World cup, Euros, and a CL.

>it's a: brit can't spell his own country's last names let alone foreign ones episode

>>74942870
Your opinion is wrong, and you should feel bad

>>74943238
I beg to differ. The "easy" eras are gone due to how physically demanding the present is.

Henry literally invented the "open up your body and side foot curl into the bottom corner" finish, of course he wasn't a pacebabby

>>74943702
>Running forever with the help of PEDS is more demanding

>>74943216
>easiest era
you mean hardest

>>74942870
Never go full retard

>>74943764
it's called trivela

Wasn't this actually a common opinion when he 1st moved to Arsenal from Monaco, where he was used as a winger?

Goes to show all a player needs sometimes is opportunity and a change of scenery

>>74943764
are you fucking retarded

I beg to differ. The defending standard has decreased immensley.

>hummels and ramos are considered the two best CBs
>a decade and a half ago it was Nesta and Maldini

>>74948929
>hummels and ramos are considered the two best CBs
lmao by who?

>>74948937
By the media, idiots, FIFA players, and league associations. Sadly they are the majority.

>>74948929
neither Ramos or Hummels are even the best defenders in their respective teams

>>74948982
I never said they were just that they are 'considered'.

But really, what two modern defenders can compare to Maldini and Nesta?

They were also superior to that manlet Cannavaro.

>>74948989
> But really, what two modern defenders can compare to Maldini and Nesta?
None, because of how fucking consistent they where.

>>74948989
well Juve's defense is one of the best of all time but that has mostly to do with how well they work together. not to be biased Pepe is the fucking goat in 1 on 1

but this debate is kinda retarded, you could say Maldini and Nesta looked better cuz they were playing against weaker players, but then there's how you prove that, and so on and on

you cannot rate players outside their own era

>>74949077
>playing against weaker players
Are you having a giggle m8? How old are you?

>Batistuta
>Crespo
>Inzagi
>Vieri
>Salas
>Baggio

I could go on, but these are just from the top of my head.

>>74949077
Pepe is fantastic but for a long time he was very unreliable because he was a walking red card.

I'd say the opposite, Juve's defence players against weaker opposition, but as you said it's a pointless debate with too many hypotheticals and variables.

>not getting the point

then I could say "oh but those players were playing against weaker defenders" and then you'd bring up good defenders, the point is the only way to rate players is based around how they played with players of their time

you could say the game's defense got worst and that's why Messi has the stats he has or you could say the game's defense is at the same level and Messi is just the goat

>>74949103
Rui Costa
Cassano
Vialli
del Piero
Totti
RONALDO
Mancini
Ganz
Zola
Shevchenko

Serie A was literally GOAT during the 90s and early 00s.

>>74946546
A trivela is with the outside of your foot

>>74949107
>>74949145
yeah nvm about Juventus, Seria A getting much worst is quantifiable so yeah guess you're right in that case

guess my argument works better for debates like Messi vs Ronaldo vs Maradona

>>74949140
No, I got the point. I just proved you wrong by showing how good Maldini and Nesta where because of who they faced EVERY FUCKING WEEK, not just big teams, like it is now in every other league. And I was careful enough just to quote player that played vs them.
Italy in the 90's and early 00's was simply the most competitive league in the world.

So, to sum it up: You can't, in no way, say they played vs weaker players. It's simply false.
