[darkman]

Beckham for me

 

Never been a big fan of Pirlo, lost count the amount of times I sat down to watch him and he's been poor. 

 

 

 

Pirlo is the conductor of the team, When he is in full swing then he alone controls and dictates the game

Not really comparable as Beckham is just a very technical winger

Beckham is a centre-midfielder still.

 

In his prime?

Pirlo all day long mate.

 

He was a centre-midfielder that happened to be on the right flank same way Ronaldo is a centre-forward playing on the left flank.

 

One of the worst posts in the history of VIP2

how did this get to 2 pages bruh....

[Benicio del Toney]

nah they are typical wingers switching wings to drift inside goals

 

Which typical wingers can do that?

 

 

he wouldnt of had that freedom to get in them positions as a CM because he would be expect to be the deep lying play maker spraying balls about.

 

So you admit Beckham has the attributes to play a Pirlo type role.

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Not just about sitting back and spraying balls as Song found out

 

If you can't read the game and make interceptions/man mark and all the other attributes players like Pirlo, Alonso and Busquets have then you would just get eaten on the counter

 

If he had grew up and been trained to enhance those parts of his game you could argue for it, but he was trained to be a wide midfielder who whipped the ball in the box, not pass and move in the middle

 

So who would you have dropped

 

Scholes

 

 

Keane

 

[Benicio del Toney]

If Beckham had the protection Pirlo gets he coulda played that role.

 

Plus would be more dangerous coming forward.

 

 

If we didn't just use him on the right maybe we woulda did better in Europe over the years aswell?

Just because there are BETTER centre-midfielders, doesn't take anything away from him having the skill-set of a one.

Is what Im thinking

[darkman]

beckham at his prime played center mid but was in a shit side, for club and was wasted on the wing for country

 

When would you say Beckhams prime was?

[Fresh]

Every man in here would wing Beckham if they put him in a dream team snm

[Tom]

Pirlo is still in his prime

[darkman]

2001-06 IMO

 

Never. Man U is when he was at his best

 

Although I prefer Becks he couldnt do Pirlo's role

Some great goals from open play in there. If he was a CAM in a 3 man midfield with the other 2 mids doing the dirty work he could've easily bagged 20+ goals a season on a regular basis.

Just remembered this performance

Beckham bossed the game as a CM in a 3-5-2 formation

[Benicio del Toney]

KMT Beckham >>>>>>>>>>>

 

You can't be THAT good technically and can't play CM lol

 

CM more often than not the most gifted players.

 

 

Becks on the ball technically the best England ever had.

Guy is too closed minded for Europe.
