Stopping is as important as scoring - what can he do for that? Sometimes we just need to grind out 1-0 to the Arsenal.
Stopping is not as important as scoring. It’s easier to stop than score hence the best attacker in the world will always be more valued than the best defender.Stopping is as important as scoring - what can he do for that? Sometimes we just need to grind out 1-0 to the Arsenal.
You can't win a match if you don't score.Stopping is not as important as scoring. It’s easier to stop than score hence the best attacker in the world will always be more valued than the best defender.
When we've been successful it's been built on great defence. You should go tell Campbell, Adams, Seaman and co they contributed nothing...Stopping is not as important as scoring. It’s easier to stop than score hence the best attacker in the world will always be more valued than the best defender.
Was any of them as important to the team as Henry? Elite attacker is always more important than elite defender. This is the case every timeWhen we've been successful it's been built on great defence. You should go tell Campbell, Adams, Seaman and co they contributed nothing...
We're on course to win the title this season in large part because we've conceded jackshit. You're of course welcome to go back and look at league tables for the last ten years or so and work out whether the winner conceded lots and scored lots...
I don't disagree with your ideas. A 10/10 striker will always cost more than a 10/10 defender.Was any of them as important to the team as Henry? Elite attacker is always more important than elite defender. This is the case every time
Hence Henry is far more valued than Adams and Campbell in premier league history
Psg lack balance and have 3 attackers who is not helping one bit in defence. Their defence and midfield is very good. Who knows what would happen if they scored that huge chance in the first half.I don't disagree with your ideas. A 10/10 striker will always cost more than a 10/10 defender.
But in my opinion, the defence needs to work as a unit. Not individual brilliance. You could have prime Adams alongside Mustafi and Adams would probably look above average.
However a prime attacker can always score and make things happen himself. Henry literally picked balls up 40 yards out and scored relying on nobody. Obviously you need some service but that service doesn't have to be excellent to score. The defence, however needs to work as one not to concede.
And obviously scoring goals is more eye catching than defending. Strikers are also more marketable so they will fetch more.
A good example for you though to show importance is PSG. Elite front line. Suspect defence as we have seen over the years in the CL. There is literally no point being able to score 4 or 5 against Barcelona, if your defence and defensive midfielders concede 6.
No!!!!A DM is just as important as a striker
No!!!!
Nowhere near as simple as that though is it?Weird isn't it, we've had legit WC strikers in Auba, RVP etc but haven't been great since we had a WC DM in Gilberto.
Nowhere near as simple as that though is it?
If we had our back 4 but a Maupay-Gray-Wissa front line would we be great?
Fullbacks are less important? I take it you didn't see Liverpools pair when they won the league. They were vital.A DM most important as others lool. Only fullback is less important
I give you two options.
A: The greatest DM ever an a solid striker
B: The greatest striker ever and a solid DM
Which option do you take for a season?
Framing the question like that, i.e. 1 individual player then it is B pretty clearly to me. But if you ask if defence more important than offence in football I would probably lean towards defence. Football is a defensive game and difficult to score as it is. I think you will collect more points over a season with a good defence and an average attack then the other way around.A DM most important as others lool. Only fullback is less important
I give you two options.
A: The greatest DM ever an a solid striker
B: The greatest striker ever and a solid DM
Which option do you take for a season?
I have. The had great fullbacks. Their fullbacks were better than their midfield hence they outshone them. I’m talking about elite every position. No one is taking the best fullback or center back over the best striker or winger if you are given the choiceFullbacks are less important? I take it you didn't see Liverpools pair when they won the league. They were vital.
