Re: Pepe vs Vermaelen
He's not a shit defender at all Lex. Pepe is just an athletic freak and a very good defender while playing in a league where you have to play with your hands tied behind your back. Comparatively, Pepe is a better defender. He can often dominate his area defensively against La Liga attacks, who are much more sophisticated than EPL attacks.

What? Pepe can't read the game?
Ramos likes to go forward with the ball, loves to try and steal the ball aswell, he must have the most steals on our team by some distance. But Pepe is always there to back him up. So when Ramos makes a mistake Pepe is instantly there to understand that Ramos needs to be covered and that Alonso will drop deeper given him the time to cover Ramos. When Ramos pushes forward, Pepe is there to organise the backline and make sure the offside trap is in-effect with fullbacks. When the fullbacks push-up and are exposed, Pepe is always there to cover the flanks when the opponent trys to exploit it.
Pepe reads the game brilliantly. One of the top 10 CBs in the game right now. Ramos relies on Pepe just as much as Pepe relies on Ramos.

Pepe is a great athlete, probably one of the best. But Vermaelen is a better defender.

Vermaelan is an average center-back.
Is that a joke ?

Re: Pepe vs Vermaelen
Vermaelen is better in my opinion. Heres why.
-Neither has the best positioning, so this is even.
-Pepe is the better athlete. Stronger and faster specifically.
-Vermaelen is the better tackler and reader of the game. Pepe is also a hothead who kets his temper get the better of him. Vermaelen has some aggression, but he obky uses it in good ways.
-Vermaelen is better in the air and on the ball.

Re: Pepe vs Vermaelen
I prefer Pepe. Psychotic, but also stronger and more reliable. Pepe is capable of dominating an opponent for the whole 90 mins and works well in a defensive unit. Honestly, I think Vermaalen gets hyped purely because he plays for Arsenal. Back in the day, you had Sol Campbell, Kolo Touré, William Gallas - they were real top CBs. I wouldn't call Verm average though, he's a good player, but too inconsistent and indecisive for me.

Re: Pepe vs Vermaelen
Really lex? So should we bring the header valencia somehow scored vs vermalen?
Fact is every player has their mistakes. Pepe is 100x better then vermalen. Deal with it.

Re: Pepe vs Vermaelen
. And Vermaelen is not indecisive - he just goes gung-ho and runs forward at inopportune times these days. He makes his mind up, so I wouldn't say 'indecisive' because he's pretty no-nonsense once he decided to do something, but he's making some bad decisions.Forza Rossoneri wrote:I prefer Pepe.

Vermaelen has only ever played Barcelona two times my friend, both in 2010 (he was injured in the 2011 fixtures). One of the games was a 2-2 draw in which his defensive partner was a midfielder (Song) because Gallas got injured early, and the other was a 4-1 loss when Vermaelen was partnered in defence by Mikael Silvestre, one of the worst Arsenal defenders everReal Kandahar wrote:vermallen who? messi has ripped him a new one time and time again,

Honestly, right now Arsenal's first and last line of defence in many games is our back line because our midfield is not dominating teams like before and we have no physical presence anywhere but our defence, so many little mistakes are resulting goals. Even if Arsenal had Pepe they would still be conceding goals. Yes Vermaelen has not been great this year, but this isn't the right time to bring this argument up because of the circumstances. I agree that Pepe is probably better for the record.

Koscielny, Cata Díaz, Fazio, Miguel Flano, Nesta.

You honestly don't watch football. Vermaelen has only played against Barca in 2010 in which he played the 2-2 tie. First fact wrong
Pepe isn't the only one and half the time he doesn't stop Messi. At the top of my head Koscienly, Nesta, Miguel Flano have all stopped Messi. Pepe doesn't always stop Messi and when he does he is usually always committing a foul to stop him. Second fact wrong.
