Week 38 - Premier League FINAL DAY / Play Offs / Copa Del Rey Final

At Galatasary Ribery was left isolated on the left wing ready for counter attacks like Pedro and often run beyond Hakan Sukur as an auxiliary striker.

[Pro]

their teams play different systems

 

but both are still considered wide men

Really? Didn't watch Gala enough during that period so won't comment too much.

Even so, just because he was made to play that way, doesn't mean his skillset is suited to that role & goes back to my point, two players with two different skillsets for two different roles shouldn't be compared. The fact he didn't score any goals for Gala & just about got double figures for Marseille indicates he never really was a forward & maybe the Gala coach got it wrong trying to play him there.

[O Fenomeno]

Why do you bother with this guy

Pedro >Ribery

Club level

International level

[O Fenomeno]

You make a good point and back in 2005 the 433 formation was non existant and playing a wide front three wasn't really accepted at the highest level.

He's thrived more in the 443 era than the 442 because he has more cover from midfield which allows him to go forward more often in a slow build up rather than a counter threat.

Same could be said for Messi which makes your point logically invalid.

[Pro]

france is unfair, whole team has been shit for a while

 

06 ribery was sick at the wc

[Michel Kane]

He was good, not sick.

Never had a game as good as Pedro vs. Germany in the 2010 WC or even Pedro vs. Portugal in Euro 2012.

[mark_INIESTA_davies]

Ribery has never had an untouchable midfield behind him who could pass around the opposition all day, even Torres, Arbelloa, Navas, Negredo looked like world beaters and we all know they are far from that.

Just goes to show you what having a good midfield can do, Bayern have arguable the best ever in German football and its no surprise that Ribery has shone this year

[Michel Kane]

Valid point.

You could say that to be able to even play with that calibre of midfield speaks volumes of your ability.

/

C'mon fella, you & I both know the likes of Torres, Arbeloa & Negredo have never looked like world-beaters playing with Spain, haha.

[mark_INIESTA_davies]

Lol just had to throw that in there to add some weight to my argument but your right ha

[Pro]

one was getting supplied by xavi, iniesta and xabi

 

and the other had to rely on diarra, gourcuff & co

 

again unfair comparison

[Michel Kane]

Supplied? Lol, like say Pedro/Ribery are Pippo Inzaghi.

/

Don't chat 'bout the nigga Gourcuff, I beg.

:-(

I am worried a bit remember when Sunderland beat Newcastle and it was said the players never saw that as a big game. they see big games as newcastle vs Arsenal, vs Man united, vs chelsea so they may step up their game today

[LS]

Something is seriously dodgy going on

 

I think Alan Sugar has told his boy (The guys that got Ashley the club) to have a word about the Newcastle game.

 

 

Ashley is offering 1 mil in bonuses if Newcastle beat Arsenal today

 

Saying that, Newcastle are hopeless and will lose 4-1

Pedro has has one good season

Torres has never looked top class for Spain? Errrm WC 2006? Euro 2008?

 

The others have never been in that category though

[The Infamous]

Yawn darkman

Carraghers last game today ima be sad as fuck

[O Fenomeno]

:/

Darkman I need to dead this Torres hype once for all

He was good against Ukraine y Tunisa

Ghost against France

Subbed against Russia

Never saw the pitch against Sweden

Was ghost against Italy e Russia

Scored the winner against Germany and nothing else

That's top class?

SMH

Yeah all backroom staff. I don't think it has to do with conspiracies, to boost morale after Pardew came out with the "it doesn't matter if we lose" comment.

[LS]

 

f*cking hell, i forgot about this goal. 

 

I just remember the 3rd one when he threw the ball towards his goal

 

100 % Corruption

 

No GK playing in the highest tier of English football would have done this
