The Player Comparison Thread

[uA - 1905]

Riera for me. Babel is a good attacker, but Riera is a more complete left midfielder. His end product is better than Babel's so that balances Babel's advantage in speed and skills.

Tevez or Berbatov?

Tevez or Berbatov?

thats a tough one... theyre both amazing to watch...tevez and his work rate and agression, and berbatov with his pure class and style...

berbatov wins it for me... hes better in the air...not sure about whos stronger though

Id rather have berbatov in my team than tevez, even though tevez is a quality player

Tevez or Berbatov?

Tevez.

Berbs is peaking right now, possibly has done, where Carlos Tevez is only going to improve. I love his battle and work-rate too. Berbs seems far too lethargic at times for me and as though he's only good when he wants to be.

For example, I couldn't see him doing at West Ham what Tevez did.

Tevez or Berbatov?

Tevez for me.

I like watching him play, he's a unique player, always running, throwing himself into tackles. The best is still to come from him as well.

I thought I'd bring this thread up!

James Milner Vs Walcott(as a right midfielder where he's being played most of the time, recently)

Fuck off man. Tell me you're taking the piss? :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Jonny2J]

Well you have legends like Wright, Schmeichel, Neeskens, and Vialli who aren't household names anymore except for the clubs which they played for and then you have legends like Pele, Maradona, and Zidane that even people that don't like football know about as in the case of Jaap Stam and Sol Campbell.

You're an absolute halfwit.

 

[Bish]

Gomes or Paul Robinson?

:fplm:

Instead of every person just making a list, how about only comment if you have an explanation for why you picked a certain player over another. Anyways, I'm just getting into the sport, so what do you experts think about these:

Ricardo Quaresma vs. Nani
Kun Agüero vs. Alexander Pato
Karim Benzema vs. Mauro Zarate
Samir Nasri vs. Frank Ribery
Carlitos Tevez vs. Adriano
Lionel Messi vs. Kaka (different positions but who would you rather have?)
Iker Casillas vs. Gianluigi Buffon
Giovani Dos Santos vs. Carlos Vela
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar vs. David Villa
Ryan Babel vs. Theo Walcott
Iniesta, Xavi, or Cesc Fábregas?
Giuseppe Rossi vs. Niklas Bendter
Jozy Altidore vs. Mario Balotelli
Guillermo Franco vs. Gonzalo Higuaín
Maurice Edu vs. Michael Bradley

Oh, and whoever says Riquelme is better than Deco is completely mistaken-maybe a couple of years ago but I'm afraid to say that Riquelme is not a top-tier footballer anymore. I watch him play all the time for Boca and Argentina and he only holds them back, particularly Argentina. I don't think he'll be playing much more for them since when he does play the entire team's performance depends on him, and when he has a bad game (which occurs with increasing frequency now that he's old and couldn't hack it in a top league anymore) they lose to weak S. American teams. If you put Riquelme on your team, his arrogance and selfishness with the ball will force you to build the whole team around him (not a good idea with a 33 year old), whereas Deco could contribute to any team. Not to mention he's still good enough to play at a team like Chelsea.

Ricardo Quaresma vs. Nani - Quaresma maybe?
Kun Agüero vs. Alexander Pato - Aguero all the way.
Karim Benzema vs. Mauro Zarate - Benzema ftw.
Samir Nasri vs. Frank Ribery - Ribery.
Carlitos Tevez vs. Adriano - Tevez
Lionel Messi vs. Kaka (different positions but who would you rather have?) Hard to say but I would like both.
Iker Casillas vs. Gianluigi Buffon - Hmm, both are world class, but I'll have Casillas
Giovani Dos Santos vs. Carlos Vela - Vela probably. Dos Santos haven't shows his potential at Spurs yet.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar vs. David Villa - Villa.
Ryan Babel vs. Theo Walcott - Walcott.
Iniesta, Xavi, or Cesc Fábregas? - Xavi
Giuseppe Rossi vs. Niklas Bendter - Giuseppe Rossi.
Jozy Altidore vs. Mario Balotelli - Balotelli.
Guillermo Franco vs. Gonzalo Higuaín - Higuain.
Maurice Edu vs. Michael Bradley - Bradley

:happy:

 

[CDDRodrigo]

Eto'o or Henry?

 

[Ismail]

Ramos hands down

 

[Ismail]

Eto'o or Henry?

Intresting comparison... Henry i would say but very close

 

[ArtisanWenger]

Ricardo Quaresma vs. Nani
Kun Agüero vs. Alexander Pato
Karim Benzema vs. Mauro Zarate-Not very informed on this subject.
Samir Nasri vs. Frank Ribery-But Nasri is fast developping under Wenger.
Carlitos Tevez vs. Adriano
Lionel Messi vs. Kaka (different positions but who would you rather have?)Rather have he would immediately propell us to sucess and shall be under wenger.
Iker Casillas vs. Gianluigi Buffon
Giovani Dos Santos vs. Carlos Vela
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar vs. David Villa
Ryan Babel vs. Theo Walcott
Iniesta, Xavi, or Cesc Fábregas?
Giuseppe Rossi vs. Niklas Bendter

Tevez or Berbatov?

Tevez isn't the same player he was 4 years ago.. He was great for Boca Juniors, mantained the same form for Corinthians -and- after that, he has Never been the same.

I think the EPL style of play changed his game, Tevez himself said that he has Lost that Goal Scoring Ability that used to describe him. He's more like Wayne Rooney now.

So considering that, I'd take Berbatov -but- Tevez has plenty of time to regain his Old form.

 

[nickpring]

Eto'o or Henry?

That's a tough one. I'd go for Eto'o.

Ricardo Quaresma vs. Nani

Lionel Messi vs. Kaka (different positions but who would you rather have?)
Iker Casillas vs. Gianluigi Buffon
Giovani Dos Santos vs. Carlos Vela
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar vs. David Villa
Ryan Babel vs. Theo Walcott
Iniesta, Xavi, or Cesc Fábregas?
Giuseppe Rossi vs. Niklas Bendter
Jozy Altidore vs. Mario Balotelli
