Is Maicon still a WC RB?

by Mr Nick09 Sun May 20, 2012 11:17 pm

has he recovered? hmm

by Swanhends Sun May 20, 2012 11:20 pm

no fullback that needs protection should be considered a WC fullback IMO

He's capable of putting in superb performances but he's reliant on Zanetti

by S32TABLANCA Sun May 20, 2012 11:21 pm

Not by a long shot.

by Mr Nick09 Sun May 20, 2012 11:34 pm

@Bhends, given that very few fullbacks are as proficient as him going forward, it's only normal he has protection no?

moratti should have taken those 25m hmm

thats too far in the other direction...not by a long shot? theres a significant shortage of high-quality right backs out there, so I don't see how he's that far off

He's not World Class anymore.. He's on a decline now.

this
the fact that there is so few quality fullbacks in football atm means that although maicon is on the decline hes still one of the best and what he does. If you replicated the maicon situation with a CM for example, theyd be considered nowhere near WC

To be honest, this is the reason I dont think he is WC. I dont subscribe to that 23 man squad of the world thing, I think there are very few WC rightbacks. Maicon is not up there any more though.

Debuchy, Azpilicueta, PizzaSteak, Alves, Lahm, Santon, Richards, Walker, Sagna, Ivanovic, Isla, Lichtsteiner, Iraola etc etc

I could go on and on really, theres not a shortage of talent at RB infact theres lots of talent at RB.

Its at LB where the lack of talent resides......

He outperformed Alves at the Copa so if Alves is WC then surely Maicon still is?

by Rebaño Sagrado Mon May 21, 2012 5:43 pm

Maicon only outperformed him in one game tbh

Doesn't work like that.

by BarcaLearning Tue May 22, 2012 5:12 pm

I always considered Maicon > Alves, and if its still the case.... I know it depends on the team as well but....it would be great to see a top form Maicon, just a monster when he is...

And just curious.... Nick is from Spain but supports PSG and Mole from France supports Newcastle? confused

by Milan31 Tue May 22, 2012 6:52 pm

He is definitely declining but still a solid RB.
