    Every defender has real trouble marking these days. Those nippy ****ers in one on ones are gona beat you some of the time, no defener can win a one on one every time against a decent attack. The key is to stop those situations happening. When Ferdinand plays, those situations don't happen :)

    Anton Ferdinand is good alright, but in a defence with George McCartney and Lucas Neil, anyone can look good. Still, they've conceded 13 goals in 4 games, he's hardly the best defender in the world?

    Shane Long was not too happy being taken off, flung his top at Steve Coppell.

    and is still living off his stellar World Cup campaign.

    Yeah his whole career before the world cup was muck too.How can anyone expect 1 defender to play well for a team that doesn't defend in any sense of the word ?

    :rolleyes:

    I didn't say that, you did....quote my whole post please:)

    No way am I doubting his standing in the game and he'll go down as a great defender, but my only point was he has been crap for the last 2 seasons (I've seen pretty much every game he's played for Madrid), for whatever reason. You yourself don't disagree with that, so what's the problem:confused:

    Madrid bought one of the finest defenders we have seen and you slate him for performances in a team who have as much defensive know how as San Marino.Buying class defenders into a system that pretty much doesn't defend is nonsense.What did you think he would actually offer Madrid ? They are a Newcastle who win trophies imo.Saying he has been crap in a defence that is crap holds no substance.Madrid don't know how to defend, did you honestly think buying a class defender would solve that ?

    :D

    You drunk?

    He has been average for Madrid. Not because of other players, HIS actual defending has been average at times.

    Ramos has been far better

    city are playing crap, i think they aint scored a goal since benjani at United. typical city really. looks like they got a bit carried away with that result. will spurs keep this advantage though? they are playing well, but past results this season means that their fans will have a nervous second half, no matter what the lead by.
