when he got the red card people were saying, oh man finally, now we can play

 

[Akerman]

AIK (swedish team) - Niklas Carlsson
Swedish National Team - Mellberg (plays in Aston Villa)

Both of them are dangerous in the air on corner kicks.

Defenders defend. Attackers score. End of.

 

[italian_stylez]

We score more goals than anyone else in the Serie A, a concede the least, the attackers are obviously doing their job aswell as the defence, who cares who scores, as long as we do.

Yeah! Cannavaro scores goals. But he's a defender. His job is defend, not scoring

i think you need to look at the aerial ability,and not necessarily at their ability to score goals.for eg,if we came up against someone like peter crouch,i dont see anyone of our defenders posing him a realistic challange in the air.true,canna is one heck of a defender,but his aerial ability is not brilliant which is obviously bcoz of his height.
we lack height in the back 4,where we need tall and strong defenders that that challenge big forwards effectivley.the lack of height/not great aerial ability in our defence could be exposed against players tall forwards..

thats the real kick in the teeth

I consider defenders that score as a bonus of their skills, becos their job is to defend most of the time. Mainly it is the attackers' job to score and by right he should score, not the defenders who do that. However it will be good if we have a defender who has aerial ability.

1st of all Cannavaro, a defender of height 1.75m who can jump amazingly high considered for a short defender and head balls in. He likes to score and track back when it becomes a goal kick. Despite these facts, I don't think he's really that good in terms of aerial ability juz becos he can score. I would prefer him to defend well.

2nd of the lot, I know I would be laughed at, but I wish Tudor will be back with us. His aerial ability is good and he can defend well. Never mind about his injury, he is actually a bonus to the team. Not only can he defend well, he can also score with his head in ugrent circumstances. He also knows how to volley. This is a plus point about him, even though I still prefer him to play in Juventus as a defender.

yeah
Mihajlovic was good free kicks taker and score many goals....
But his ability to defence wasn`t so good.
if we got CB like him, it will be a real problem

 

[HelterSkelter]

with kovac's physique,you expect him to be great in the air.

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

remember Cesar Sampaio (or something)

brazilian player, 5 feet dude, scored headers all the time

 

[Theodore]

For now,
i think John Terry was the best scoring defender

 

[rokkstar]

terry hasn't been banging them in like last season tho'

canna's time will come when he will score in important matches for us.


anyone seen chivu's freekicks?

Now we´re getting there.
It is not the scoring ability that is the most important question, it´s the threat in attack that opens up possibilitys for others as well.

I wish Moggi will try to buy him.But IMO he won't:frown:

Tudor should solve ur problems

 

[giovanotti]

There are different ways of scoring for the defenders:

-Fullbacks in the attack picnic
-Good free kick takers
-Headers after the breaks

I think of Rio Ferdinand when I read this thread. He was touted as an 'aerial threat' when he scored for England some 3 years ago, yet Mr "I'm Worth 120k per Week" has never found the net for Man Utd.
