[Jean toomer]

All that no end product talk was bullshyt from the get got. I watched the dude play and he could cross fine, pass fine etc. Just lazy talking points which was parroted because people can barely think for themselves

Couldn’t agree more.

Neil Warnock doesn’t rate Cesar Azpilicueta.

Neil Warnock doesn’t rate Cesar Azpilicueta.

This goal essentially condemned Warnock's Cardiff to relegation.


He's still tight 3 years later.

piers

he forgot that in addition to crossing and free kicks beckham had

0. defensively sound.
i. passing - ok short passing, 10/10 long passing. could play DLP.
ii. stamina - ran up and down the wing and could track back all day long
iii. injuries - rarely injured
iv. reliability - 6/10+ almost every game
v. mentality - never say die
vi. shooting - very good from distance
vii. positioming - understood the game. rarely caught out of position.

+ 10/10 crossing and freekicks along with reasonably good dribbling.

beckham (and scholes) on another level long passing compared with even people like xavi, pogba.

Idiot got stomped out and removed from a game for having a Mein Kampf tramp stamp

PSG really let go of Diaby, Nkunku, Weah and Guedes between 2018 and 2020. All of them are balling right now (Weah less so but the potential is there). Just seems like a poorly run club.

Overrated by who? As what? I've never heard anyone say he was the best player in the world. But is your take that he wasnt a great player?

I don’t really get the Beckham hate. Fairly rated player. No one puts him in any top 10 lists or anything.
Very very good player.. not everyone from that era is going to be Ronaldinho or Henry level.

Nah he was a great player, I'm not saying he was shyt... His delivery too good for that. But there was a disparity between his ability and the acclaim he received

When I was in school he was def overrated by ppl around me not to mention the British media

The media made noise about his personal life more than his football. He was more famous for non football reasons which in turn makes people say he's not even that good when he was always a great consistent player. I'm not sure I would pay much attention to the judgement of school kids.
