Perfect XI ?

[blueduck]

I can't believe the times we live in. A world of football where Terry is considered a top defender is absurd; makes me want to cry. He's not even the best defender in his team: Alex and Carvalho are miles ahead.

:confused01: He's Chelsea and England Captain because he is quality.

A good leader on and off the pitch, he puts his body on the line to block shots and crosses. He is a great header at set peices and is an all round good defender.

There are not many better at defending than John Terry imo

I can`t believe what I am hearing....
Terry not class..? Alex and Carvalho are better...?
Come on....
Given ahead of Casillas, Cesar or Buffon....Ok you admitted you are a bit biased. Anyway he proved himself against United..
------------------Casillas--------------------

Alves--------Terry-------Ferdinand-----Evra

-------------------------Essien----------------------

------------Gerrard-------------Iniesta---------------

Messi--------------------------------------Rooney

----------------------------Torres------------------------

This could work. But still there are lots of options. Vidic and Pique as CB-s(ok I am too a bit biased now with Pique option..)
Maicon as RB, Cole as LB.

Rooney, Messi and Torres looks amazing.
But there are just to many options for midfield. (Xavi, Lampard, Fabregas, Anderson....)

Who ever said John Terry isn't even Chelsea's best defender knows his football. How people can put him into their World XI beats me. He ain't that good.

 

[Metaphysical]

these teams are so poor.

however...

buffon
alves, rio, vidic, evra
xavi, diarra, iniesta
messi, drogba, ronaldo

...would be the best team in the world. coached by guardiola, of course!

it has everything you need in a team!

pace, power, skill, bottle, gigantic black men, a gigantic white man, genius midgets, a brazilian, an italian, a preening narcissist metrosexual and patrice evra!

WTF.... I was gonna use that exact team bar one.
I'd put Maicon in at RB instead of Lahm and the rest is perfect. That would be some team.

Why do some people rate Lahm better than Alves?

Alves is far far far better going forward and about the same defence wise.

Lahm haven`t played on a RB position for a while. 4 years or something like that...

 

[VaVaVoom]

Alves gets cought out of position alot, he also fouls too much. Maicon is much better and even keeps Alves out of the Brasil XI.

 

[MUFC-Ireland]

Alves is a poor defender. Lahm is a decent defender.

 

[Zqa-]

You don't watch La Liga, not at all.

 

[United]

Casillas

Ramos Vidic Ferdinand Evra

Ronaldo Xavi Essien Messi

Torres Rooney

 

[MUFC-Ireland]

Yeah I only watch Barca though because I love their football but You have to admit Alves is a poor defender. Too rash and he can't slow his game down. He does everything at 100 km/hr and that bings him silly yellow cards because of rash challenges. He is also a massive diver

 

[Metaphysical]

Casillas

Ramos Vidic Ferdinand Evra

Ronaldo Xavi Essien Messi

Torres Rooney

messi is not a winger.

seriously.

otherwise that's a surprisingly good team and actually quite balanced.

still wouldn't beat mine, though.

 

[blueduck]

Alves is a poor defender. Lahm is a decent defender.

He's looked ok in the games I've watched. I'll take your word for it
