A lot of CBs were pretty damn great before and after their Real Madrid years for some reason

Re: Is Thiago Silva the best defender of modern football?
So you have seen football for 20 years and think Silva is the best? I smell BS unless you have seen only french league for 20 years....
He is a good defender but he doesn't comes on the level of brilliant italian defenders of the time like Maldini,Nesta,Cannavaro,Ranocchia etc

He's having it too easy at PSG to be considered the best, imo. Especially when you consider PSG are yet to make the semis in the Champions League in their oil money era. Reach the CL final this season and I'll start taking the hype of players like Verratti, Matuidi and Silva seriously.

Expected this from elmystique not you. What's wrong with what I said? Can he not considered the best CB of the past six years?

Meh,once he moved to France he became irrelevant imo (while getting skinned by scrubs like Brandao )
Agree with Nick,cant remember a standout performance from him with PSG in a big CL game tbh.Inb4 winner against Chelsea

Quite obviously Jerome Boateng is the best defender of the last 6 years.

I can't help but see a pattern emerging, Felix
and where is the problem Angel is better than both and most fans would agree with me.
Yee Aurier in this moment is the best rb in the world
Lucas is an amazing dribbler but i even said that he has no football intelligenze. Iniesta and Neymar are better dribbler than him in tight space, overall he is a better dribbler than Hazard for me. This makes me a PSG fan and biased? things that are quite obvious

Re: Is Thiago Silva the best defender of modern football?
I think you should clarify, do you honestly think Thiago Silva is the best defender of the last 20 years? Better than Nesta, Thuram, Cannavaro? Or did you mean a shorter time span when saying "modern football"

This is true, in fact i remember more flops than standout performances from him when it matters.
People will laugh at Pique and Ramos and i do too on occasion But their big match records are miles better than Thiago Silva's.

Re: Is Thiago Silva the best defender of modern football?
fortunately there are statistics that tell the facts:
League
Champions League:
chiellini, Boateng? let me put some face One was totally *bleep* up by Messi, the other is the main culprit of both goals conceded against Real, and again in 2013 2014 he was still the main responsible for the fact that Juve was not able to get over the group of champions league, against Real was able to be shit in both game, the red card for the foul against CR7 and the Penalty for foul on Ramos.
Thiago Silva is so good that it makes look good even Davis Luiz, the fact that Brazil without him took seven goals from Germany should give some thoughts

last season
Where Silva in the first part of the season playing bad, especially after injury, the disaster in Brazil, and his father's death
but again:

especially against Chile and Spain in the last World Cup or against Schalke last season, or against Bilbao in the super cup.
I don't remember performance so shit from Silva. I don't think his teams were ever been humiliated in this way. With Silva i think Barca can make the tribble every year, in Psg the problem are players like Ibra or Cavani never decisive, as well as inadequate players like Lucas, Maxwell and Luiz.

Re: Is Thiago Silva the best defender of modern football?
he couldn't keep freaking Matri from scoring in a potentially title deciding match in the last 15 minutes (Goal di muntari ) It's okay for defenders to make occasional mistakes, but it seems like the errors of some players are more often remembered.

Agreed. David Silva is EPL's best playmaker of all time.

Re: Is Thiago Silva the best defender of modern football?
He was pretty great when we won against Arsenal 4-0 too . It was at a time when Van Persie was having the time of his life during that period and he barely allowed him to breathe . In the return game when we lost 0-3 , everyone except Abbiati was having a shocker , including Thiago Silva , directly responsible for the 2nd goal .
Other than that which was a total horror show from Milan , if he wasn't there that night , we wouldn't have qualified . I say this with utmost confidence .
Right , i'll say this and be done with it . Had Thiago Silva went to any of Barcelona or Real or Bayern , we'd never hear the end of it . As if Boateng has it any tougher in Bundesliga with Bayern , or Pique in La Liga with Barcelona e.t.c. Simply lame . Only one who really has it tough is Ramos at Real , he gets exposed too much as a result of what happens in front of his back line. And why , many here laugh at Ramos . I'll tell you this though , had you exchanged the two of them and had Thiago Silva in Ramos' place and Ramos in PSG , it would hardly be a big difference for either team and Silva would be , more or less , as much exposed as Ramos has been.
Instead i have to read Nick's stuff , same nick whose shenanigans when PSG bought Silva seem amusing now to say the least. QSG bought the best defenda in the world e.t.c
years later
meh it's just Ligue 1
and better not bother with the Chiellini beliebers , if anything , it took 2016 to even have a go at Thiago Silva
all in all , Thiago Silva isn't the Messi of defenders ?
Of course let's lol at someone having a high opinion of Thiago Silva .
Of course.
To answer OP , if by modern times you mean like from 2010 and on , then probably yes . Anything before that no . That said , it's not unfathomable to compare him with some great CBs , pre 2010 . He wasn't better than the likes of Nesta purely at defending , but he's no joke when compared to them either .
