Re: Who has been the best B2B midfielder in 2012?

by RealGunner Fri Feb 01, 2013 8:15 pm

Yaya doesn't have the stamina for B2B anymore. He plays roaming CM with mostly AM duties

my 2nd pick would be Ramires now that Ganso mentioned.

by sportsczy Fri Feb 01, 2013 8:15 pm

he does dani. more than the others lol. these days it's 15 meters from box to box anyhow. vidal is the same way. vieira was the last guy i can remember who really went b2b all the way.

by sportsczy Fri Feb 01, 2013 8:17 pm

matuidi has been a better defensive minded b2b than ramirez, if you're bringing those guys into it. Bot with club and nt, he's been a beast and scoring goals too.

by Valkyrja Fri Feb 01, 2013 8:31 pm

Vidal followed by Ramires and Khedira.

Well then I dont consider anyone for that role. But to be honest, I see Vidal as far more energetic and gets about more.

by Zealous Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:00 pm

Vidal probably sleeps in his signed Khedira jersey.

by Kick Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:09 pm

Good god guys, watch Ramires in the CL or Vidal throughout the year for the definition of a B2B player. Both are a class above anyone else.

Xavi is not a B2B Laughing

by Kick Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:10 pm

Also I love the fact Khedira gets mentioned yet many RM fans want a better CM than him. Laughing

Ramires and Vidal >>>>>>>>>

by Zealous Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:11 pm

Khedira was more impressive than either of those two if we're going to be honest and fair about this.

Only idiots who know nothing of football think Khedira should be replaced.

Ramires shouldn't even be in this conversation, not when his best performances in 2012 have come when Chelsea where in bunker mode and he was forced to play out wide to run into space. ROFL

Nah not really, Vidal is better than any B2B midfielder on the planet right now.

But you're probably joking knowing you Laughing

by Zealous Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:25 pm

Just watch any Germany game that Khedira is playing in. The man is a beast, there is no point in denying it. It serves no purpose to resist the sobering tide of reality. Vidal is a good player on a good team but who has he played against that anyone seriously respects?

Khedira has been winning his whole life and he's been doing it against the best teams. Don't gotta crown him but the least you can do is kiss the ring :bow:

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:28 pm

inb4 the lulz..... but what about Chelsea? Vidal was probably MOTM in both games.

You can only play whats infront of you and quite frankly Vidal has beasted up against who ever he's come across.

I can definitely tell you're slightly joking now btw Laughing

by Zealous Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:33 pm

Chelsea? LMAO I'm not even going to dignify that with a reply. (Even though technically I just did)

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:35 pm

I have that gift :coffee:

you reply to me even when you don't want to :coffee:

by The Franchise Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:36 pm

Khedira is crap.

I would go further but it would take too long to truly capture the level of his crap.

There are like literally 10 centerbacks with better ability with the ball at their feet.

Runner and hustler and very little else.

If im an idiot that dont know about football then so be it, I would rather have that tag than believe Khedira is good, let alone the best anything.

by Zealous Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:41 pm

A crap player has been a major factor in your midfield becoming less and less dominant over the years. I wish I was this level of crap :bow:

They're going to make documentaries about Sami one day with highlights of him lifting the World Cup with Germany as captain and the CL with Madrid. :bow:

by The Franchise Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:08 am

Our midfield is less and less dominant? I must be getting a completely different feed than you then because I dont see that at all.

They can make all the documentaries they like, when your a midfield and Victor Valdes has more passing range you should consider what went wrong.

by Valkyrja Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:10 am

Is there any chance that he will captain Germany in 2014 ?

He's the player that makes the team tick, runs all day, good passer, great football brain, good tackler, covers a lot ground. IMO the Makelele of today, very underrated. Vidal is better on the ball, but Khedira's presence on the field isn't matched, the guy is everywhere. He has to improve his game with the ball.

by RealGunner Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:13 am

Wait, you are serious about Khedira ? Thought it was a joke lol

by The Franchise Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:17 am

Makelele is rolling over in his figurative grave with such a comment.

Laughing

Man who makes Germany tick...you couldnt make this up.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:19 am

I don't think you watched Makelele Laughing

Busquets is more like Makelele than Khedira is Laughing

I was talking about his status in the game, one of the most underrated players in the world.

Have you seen Madrid or Germany playing without him ?

by The Franchise Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:28 am

Perhaps you shouldnt have 40 year old Essien as your second choice to him then?

by Onyx Sat Feb 02, 2013 12:29 am

Essien is 30. :coffee:
