Baresi was arguably the greatest CB ever. Nesta was definitely better too. Scirea as well. I’d pick Vierchowod over him and Costacurta was definitely better. Albertini in midfield too. Did they need a YouTube reel with a shite soundtrack to be considered? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on all points I’ve reproduced it here to relieve you the indignity of interacting with it on X and thus giving them what they want 🤗 I actually think we’ve moved on from “FOOTBALL WASNT INVENTED IN 1992 YOU KNOW” by at least 15 years. Yes, that’s how fuckin old we are Edited February 5 by PaddockLad 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was the other way round. He finished up playing as a CB but played the vast majority of his games as a (right-footed) LB. He was predictably brilliant in the middle too though. There is some ridiculous stat where him and Baresi played there together about 150 times in serie a and Milan conceded 25 goals (or something like that). However it makes a good point, that while he was more celebrated as a full back he’d easily get ahead of Twaterazzi (TM Isegrim) in the middle too. You could say similar about Bergomi too. Who should probably make the team as a RB (if we’re talking about in my lifetime) but would be another better CB than the aforementioned Twat Edited February 5 by Alex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totti I suppose is fair enough for his longevity and the amount he scored. Again we’re talking ‘modern era’ though. But if we’re on about just my lifetime again (and playing that formation) I’d have Baggio in the ‘Trequartista’ role with peak Vieri and Rossi upfront. Donadoni was a class player too on the wing. The likes of Riva and Rivera were a bit before my time Edited February 5 by Alex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27312 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I hate these things when it's NUFC never mind anyone else. Not saying he should be on there at all but I loved Schillaci, Ravanelli was more than decent, vieri is a good shout. Di Livio was quality as was Conte. Nesta should be a shout, Materazzi can fuck off if only for his antics v us. Gentile could see this and deal with the errant youngster appropriately. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if they weren't successful in the past is it? Winning WCs , being runners up and innovative, (not always in a good way) throughout history. As Alex says, hard to speak about the likes of Riva as I've never saw them. Bill McCracken virtually changed the defensive game in this country, we had our most successful period when he was here yet how many NUFC fans would put him in a greatest eleven? I never get vexed by shite like this tbh, I can be indecisive as it is without putting myself through a pointless waste of time.

I’m sure I didn’t imagine this but didn’t Vieri speak English with an Aussie accent (for obvious reasons) only to later transition to speaking English with an Italian accent?
