[Serie A] Best defensive pair (4 Viewers)

[Dominic]

Zapata-Felipe?

Zapata - Felipe, hands down.

EDIT: Tibike, you got it.

Udinese play a back three, so they don't count.

Boh, they'd be just as effective as two centre-backs.

Maybe, or maybe not.

Oh you pretenders. Udinese play with 4 at the back now, but Felipe and Zapata haven't played a game yet.

Cordoba - Samuel is.

True that.

Zapata-Felipe?

Udinese play with 3 centerbacks.

Then I choose Mexes-Juan.

Ferrara - Montero

Especially from 2003/04 season...

 

[Bozi]

biased as hell but out of those 3 it is obviously legro and giorgio
big props must go to legro for turning it all around, lets be honest whop here would have thought he would be a linchpin in our defense 2 years ago?

 

[Cronios]

Zapata-Felipe?

yep that would be my choice when i saw the title...

 

[Dostoevsky]

It's more than just Mexes-Juan, but seriously... the only teams who have given up more goals than Roma right now are Torino, Reggina, and Cagliari -- bastions of Serie A defensive units.

They've played 2 games with Loria-Panucci as their CBs and you can't get any worse than that.


IMO,Mexes-Juan

even though Mexes made 2 big mistakes in defense so far I think he's a great defender and Juan is just underrated.

 

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

You think Mellberg is better than Legro?

He may be as an individual player, but I think Legro is a better partner for Chiellini.

i agree, he needs more time to get used to chiellini or legro ...

Samuel-Cordoba are the best defensive pair by far. Or Samuel-Chivu, no contest here...

 

[JCK]

Cordoba I love it how he clears the ball :rofl2:

Genoa do not own 50% of Criscito. They have 50% of Palladino, but not Criscito.

Samuel-Cordoba are the best defensive pair by far. Or Samuel-Chivu, no contest here...

Samuel is injured all the time. I really can't remember when was the last time i saw him play for Inter.
Yes, on paper Samuel-Chivu beats everything, but the last time these two played together was last October/November when we played 1:1 against Inter in Torino.

Nesta-Maldini was brilliant partnership few years ago. But Nesta is out for so long while Maldini plays 1 good match in 10 so we can exclude this partnership also.

From those who currently play, Chiellini-Legro is the best one.

Btw, after 5 rounds Juve has the best defense in the league. We conceded only 2 goals so far (we didn't concede even in CL). The credit goes to our defense but also to the Sissoko/Poulsen/Marchisio partnership in the middle.
Unfortunately, we suffer offensively due to our defensive orientation.

Cordoba I love it how he clears the ball :rofl2:

He was great last season IMO.

Genoa do not own 50% of Criscito. They have 50% of Palladino, but not Criscito.

Palladino has done nothing for them so far. Very disappointing and he is also finding it very hard to find a place there.

 

[JCK]

He was great last season IMO.

Do you know that the goal we scored against Inter when we played in Torino came just after a Cordoba clearance?

He may be a good defender but he makes mistakes that cost his team a lot.

Oh you pretenders. Udinese play with 4 at the back now, but Felipe and Zapata haven't played a game yet.

 

[Fred]

the thing is those three centerback pairings in the poll are all shit.

 

[Enron]

Regular garbage.

 

[Enron]

I nominate Toure-Gallas or Terry-Essien

 

[delpierofan82]

Burdisso is a clown

 

[Enron]

Hush! He is the red card champion!
