Jeez I had a similar conversation with your freidn van persie earliar regarding how consistent nesta really is. To say he isnt is such a biased view and understandable if its coming from the EPL. Canavaro, yes he was slow isnt the same, but if you look at what his achieved is understandably the worlds best. at the moment he may not be the best but even on his bad day he puts a notably decent performance. Against Arsenal, yes he wasnt at his best but he was arguably our best defender out there and at times if you notice back in the 60th minute he even covered a very poor zebine who was outpaced by henry. Yet if you look carefully that was a certain instance where yes, canavaro, actually suprised henry with his pace. On another day its understandable that henry is faster but as I said whats brilliant about canavaro his he compliments his defence whenever needed and yes he is consistent prior to the arsenal game. We have some very fast pacy players in serie A too notably shevchenko, mancini being a few.
First off, I'm not bradd's "freidn," I don't know him and he isn't even an Arsenal fan FFS.
Secondly, It feels like I'm speaking to a wall. WHERE DID I SAY NESTA ISN'T CONSISTENT? I just said, Toure has been consistently better than Nesta THIS YEAR and that Nesta had a horrible period in January even though he was playing with World Class defenders while Toure had NO BAD PERIOD THIS YEAR when playing next to LB's like Flamini\Cygan, CB's who are very much error prone like Campbell (he's been shit this year) and Senderos (who's been doing much better recently but was very much error prone earlier this season). He's been playing in a makeshift defence who's average age is like 22 BUT NO he's no good, he isn't consistent enough. Blah, blah, blah. You keep on rambling on without even reading my posts. Nesta = World Class. Cannavaro = World Class. Terry = World Class. And guess what?! TOURE = WORLD FUCKING CLASS. Say you disagree with that comment - fine. But how the fuck can you disagree with the fact that on current form, throughout this whole season, Toure who's kept Arsenal's defence together even during our shit form, with a makeshift, unexperienced (average age of 22) defence surrounding him. With players waaaaaaay out of form like Gilberto and Campbell surrounding him, yet he STILL PLAYED AT A WORLD CLASS LEVEL. If you say that Toure, based on current form, this season has not been World Class you're one of 4 cases:
1. Retarded.
2. Blind.
3. A fickle Juve fan who thinks because he slates an Arsenal player that player will become shit.
4. Have no understanding of the game of football.
Of course it can be none of those cases and can be the fact that you don't watch Arsenal games (to which you admitted before). Ooooohhhh, you watch MOTD, wow, you watch 10 minutes of highlights from the Arsenal game and based on that you can tell whether Toure has been world class this year.
Oh, you're unbiased because you can admit that Henry is world class? Is that what you say to prove you aren't biased? Saying that doesn't prove anything since any person with a pair of eyes can tell that Thierry Henry is the best striker in the world (yes, I know some of you guys will say no he isn't and if he isn't he's definitely in the top 3, but he is the best striker in the world).
Yes they outclassed us, is that all? :faq1: We have had better matches in europe look at our group stage that should tell something, and the same to last year prior to the liverpool match we were not too bad.
Arsenal had a great game vs. Juve in 2001 (I think) at Highbury. Ummm... relevance? Please explain to me wtf your group stage games have to do with Wednesday's game? Umm, don't because you'll just make yourself look like a fool with a half-assed explanation that somehow connects the two. You played shit vs. Bayern in one game (without Vieira, with Giannicheda) and you played well vs. Bayern in one game (with Vieira, without Giannicheda). The other games were against shit teams so are even less relevant. Let's say for a sec the Bayern games are relevant. Going by them, you were supposed to win with Vieira and lose without him but you lost without him and going by the Bayern game, you'll lose when playing with Giannicheda. Also, please don't say some bullshit about home advantage because we both know that the Delle Alpi is shit, there's no atmosphere there and therefore also, no home advantage other than the fact that Juve is more used to the shitty pitch.
I dont think zambro was actually as poor as it may seem he did well and was arguably one of our few players who actually made some of your defenders shed a sweat. Whilst the rest?, real can lose against a team like albacete for god's sake that doesnt mean anything. Real were poor not only on the day but also the games before the CL second round. They showed some of the worst football by a spanish side and were lucky to even get to the second round. As for us, yes we played a very poor match, no excuses. Well done. :sick:
Zambrotta was your best player vs. us and yet Eboue still managed to keep him quiet bar one or two crosses. When a player plays amazingly well three games in a row you can say he might be a flop or he might be a developing talent or he might be overrated. After playing 5-10 games vs. the likes of Real Madrid (who were in great form before playing us vs. Zidane and Robinho), Liverpool (Kewell and Gerrard) and Juve (Mutu and Zambrotta). Yes, he has some aspects of the game he needs to work at such as his finishing but you can't say that every player in every team he's played was in bad form as that's just plain idiotic and you again, trying to make an Arsenal player look bad to make yourself feel better about the tie. Eboue will be the best RB in the world in a few years (Cafu is old and there really isn't one that stands out at the moment).
