PL Games 17-19th March

Doubt there are many players left on the pitch if they tied to do this



Taken at the hip. no wonder he was almost cripple in his late 20’s. So much of what he did he did not even close to fully fit,

Absolute different gravy! To me, he's miles ahead of any other player that's played the game.

I'll certainly not see a better player in my life-time.

[ianlfc]

He was no Naby Keita.

[redebreck]

He was no Naby Keita.

Superb!

[Insidious]

He was no Naby Keita.

There is no theory of Evolution or Extinction - just a list of animals that Naby Keita has permitted to live.

Yes, but you might be missing the point. He was so often unstoppable - in an era when you could chop and hack and chop and hack.

take the England game you reference. in the modern game - there are a good 3 red cards before Diego uses his hand. he was literally being assaulted on the pitch. and then he scored the goal of the century.

Messi isn’t making many of those runs. In todays game this player - who was unstoppable even then - without the sickening tackles - is simply unstoppable full stop.

a one off. nobody even close

Errrrrr I thought that's what i said? lol

Well you might have “thought” that and even meant it, but your bottom line was this.

I guess he knew when to cheat and when not to...lol

And that wasn’t really the point - at least as I intended it. Basically - in my eyes Diego didn’t cheat for the hand of god. he was being assaulted and he got even. Then he took the biscuit.
