Are they the best defence of this decade?

>>75775401
Nesta Maldini stam zambrotta etc etc, if they're not older than last decade

yes
I wonder, could you make a case for the iniesta/xavi/biscuits sideways passing routine being the best of last decade?

>>75775401
As in the 2010-2019 decade or in the last 10 years?

Because the best defence in the last 10 years was Vidic and Ferdinand.

>>75775486
2010-19

The best since Capello's Milan

Ferdinand and Vidic broke, and have set, the record for the longest consecutive clean sheets in football history. They also went to 3 CL finals in 4 years and did it while winning league titles at the same time, dominating the PL at its peak.

It's Sanchís and Hierro for me.
But I love watching these guys
in a back three. They're a wall.

>>75776712
>Dominating the pl

That's like saying that i'm the best because i scored ten goals against a team made of high schoolers.

>>75775478
Not many other midfields are purely sideways passing so I prolly have it right

>>75775486
>Because the best defence in the last 10 years was Vidic and Ferdinand.

lmao

who even is the thrid guy? bonucci, chielini and ?

>>75777015
barzagli.

he even played in germany you dumb casual.

i don't think this sport is for you

>>>/nfl/

>>75776935
Pls stop ignorant American. The PL was the best league in the world for about 4/5 years, with 3 PL teams often reaching the CL semifinals every season. In fact between 05 and 09 there was an English team in every final (two in 2008). That was the period in which Vidic and Ferdinand won 3 league titles in a row and set the clean sheet record.

i dont think so luigi

>>75777943
wrong

>>75777099
And yet... Kaka made them look like a bitch in 2007, and messi, a midget, scored a fucking header against the best defense.

And i'm ignorant?

>>75777984
>and messi, a midget, scored a fucking header

Midget AND the best forward in world, and arguably ever.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I do feel that's worth pointing out.

>>75777978
Nope. Suck it up, dumb cunt.

I took it as the past 10 years so, 2007-2017.
If you mean 2010-onwards then my answer is Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, and Luke Shaw

OP, do you mean 2007-2017 or 2010-2020?

>>75778208
who?

>>75778229
2010-2020

>>75777943
That would be the Chelsea that Man Utd regularly beat to league titles?

Remind me, how many CL titles have Atletico and Juve won in the last 10 years?

>>75777984
You are ignorant. Ferdinand and Vidic were both injured for the game that Kaka ran Man Utd ragged. The defence that he played against was:

Evra___Heinze___Brown___O'Shea

Thanks for confirming your ignorance, fatty.

We're talking about defence, not titles won, you stupid cunt.

>>75775401
>that left one's head shape

>>75784184
You can't be considered the best defence of your generation, with any credibility, if you haven't won the CL.

>>75775401
bonuchis face tells you the answer

>>75784617
Says who? Who decides these rules, you fucking ape?

>>75784617
man that's a retarded arguement and you know it

>le win nothing trio

wew

is the goalkeeper considered part of the defense?

>>75784644
You sound really mad. How can the greatest club defence of a generation not have won club football's highest honour? Besides, you never explained why Chelsea's, Atletico's and Juve's defences were better than United's 06-09 defence. The United defence won higher honours, conceded fewer goals and kept more clean sheets. The United defenders also played under a manager that put emphasis on attacking virtually every game, leaving his defenders in one-on-one situations every game.

So why were those other defenders better?

>>75784880
And you sound clueless. As Giuseppe has put rather succinctly; your argument is retarded.

>>75784748
Yes

>>75784880

Why? You not only have to defend, you also have to score. Juventus and Italy can defend all they want, if they go after Bayern, Barcelona with Matri, Quagliarella and/or City/RMA rejects, they are bound to lose. This is the first year they had the best strikers market was offering, and guess what, they have almost made it to the final again, not lucking their way in but forcing their way through.

Now, whether they choke again is another issue altogether, but it's definitely not the defense's fault. In 98 they lost 1-0 with an offside goal. Is it the defense fault or Zidane, Inzaghi and Del Pieroi for being fucking absolute utter shit?

>>75784880
>The United defenders also played under a manager that put emphasis on attacking virtually every game, leaving his defenders in one-on-one situations every game.

lmao, im not even that guy, but shut the fuck up you deluded mong

>>75784880
Sol Campbell/Senderos and Toure have the record minutes without conceding a goal in the Champions League.

it means absolutely fuck all.

>>75776935
I think you mistook the epl for mls

>>75784941
What a great argument.

>>75783309
Definitely the Juventus 3 then. I guess Atletico Madrid would be a close second.

>>75785928
Atletico for me. They've reached 2 CL finals and won a league title against the odds, relying mostly on their defence for their success. Juve have been par for the course.

>>75785773
>complains about arguments
>doesn't even address these posts with an argument >>75784938 >>75784973
lmao, what a fuking sadsack you are mate

>>75784973
Man Utd's clean sheet record lead to them winning a title. So, yeah, it does matter.

>>75784938
And if they win this years final then they'll have a great claim to being the best defence of the last 10 years. Their place at the top would probably be unquestionable considering how few goals they've conceded in this season's competition. If they concede a couple goals and lose the final though, then they've fallen short, and should be judged as so.

>3 italians are a better defense than 4 of anything else

embarrassing, world.

>>75777984
Nonce

>>75784973
Campbell and Toure were good

>>75787191
>Man Utd's clean sheet record lead to them winning a title. So, yeah, it does matter.


no.. its literally fucking irelevant you tard. chelsea conceded the same amount of goals that season. they conceded the same amount in 06-07, less in 05-06 and far, far less in 04-05.

consecutive clean sheet record is a pointless statistic

does jamie vardy have the consecutive scoring record make him the best EPL striker of the past decade? (it led to them winning a title afteral!!) no of course it doesnt you fucking mentalist,

pathetic customer.

>>75787269
if they are better why have they won 0 cls, 0 wcs, and 0 euros this century

>>75787412
did you forget the 2006 world cup or something?

>>75775401
Chiellini looks weird.

>>75775401
I'd argue T.Silva-Nesta were better than these guys

>>75775486
>Because the best defence in the last 10 years was Vidic and Ferdinand.
Maldini-Nesta-Kaladze say hi

Kind of sucks to be a defender nowadays. Refs will blow the whistle for the slightest nudge.

>>75787552
sorr, I meant to say this decade as referring to the OP

also only Barzagli won the WC

>criticising the Man Utd defence for Messi's goal
Man Utd had 4 forwards on the pitch at that time and the cross was excellent.
