I honestly don't see what point your making mate. What am I supposed to Google?

You say that football is more technical nowadays I claim it is the opposite.

Just being technical doesnt get you by anymore

Gone are the Riquelmes, Rivaldos etc

Modric, a very technical guy no doubt (albeit not flashy) was the Guy who ran the most in the last WC

But as I said speed or moreso the ability to do many full on sprints is more important nowadays

but Holding’s hair transplant was painless
Could chambers be a good alternative to Lucas as a dm? He is bigger and stronger and can pass decent and played most of last season there

Torreria is just a lot better though as is Luiz. Chambers has shown that he can play DM to a Premier League level though.

Really hope he is back in the team for Saturday. I fancy him in a back three when defending then pushing into midfield while attacking.

Think we'll have to agree to disagree mate. Plus, you've completely missed my point.

Would have made so much more sense if the conversation had stopped with below...


Because to me that is spot on.

Having pointed that out though I'd like to add that top teams are certainly searching for players who give that 'bonus'

Totally agree buddy!

How have I missed the point? Elaborate

And how can you disagree with facts?

Especially with CBs both the technical and physical requirements have been raised

Overall physique matters more nowadays imo, the game is faster, more intense and technical differences has evened out more. You used to get by by just having superior technical skills

To stand out physical attributes and a willingness to train hard are of the utmost importance.

Players were less technical before though.

As usual, you're trying to present your opinion as fact. It's not a fact just because you say it is.

I fundamentally disagree with what you're saying here (I'm glad your finally admitting it's just your opinion now by the way).

Physical attributes are important, of course they are. But there isn't a substantial difference between the fitness levels and physicality of most Premier League teams, where as there is a substantial difference in quality.

Arguably the lesser teams have to be fitter because they see less of ball.

The level of fitness is has gone up a level, the actual physical attributes of a player has seen a trend towards smaller more technical players, and I don't think many people would disagree with me there.

If you think football today is less technical than it was in the 90s and even early 2000's then I honestly don't know what to say to you. I might as well go talk to a brick wall.

I think the best teams now all 10 outfield players have to put a shift in. Even forwards and all mid including attacking mids have to track back and defend. Not saying am are expected to fly into tackles but they have to fill gaps and track players. Imo you need a good balance of technical players ( have to put work in and defend) and powerhouses ( still need ability not
Just a goon)

I think Luiz could be really helpful for Chambers' development.

Chambers has good technique for a CB like Luiz, and both of them can play DM.

Also, Luiz has made some embarrassing mistakes, and knows how to bounce back and fix them. Luiz is probably the right type of CB for Chambers to learn from as he develops at this level.

It is a fact that players sprint more

I think there is a huuge fitness level between top and bottom PL clubs.
If fitness is the wrong Word athleticism certainly is the correctly one.

Bigger teams afford more better athletic players.

Short doesnt need to be a disadvantage (lower centre of gravity) but height in itself is generally favoured.


And last 10-15 years has seen the emergence of big athletic guys who are really frekkin technical

The Pogbas, the Zlatans...

Football was more technical before, or at least more flair. Today it's more about physicallity then before, and I think it's way to clear to see that

and I agree with whoever said Luiz can be a great mentor to Chambers

Is it possible that due to the speed of the game increasing in intensity from fitter and faster players that there's now less opportunity for players to be technical or pull off a flair type trick?
