partipo posted:I think a lot of it is that a lot of younger fans have this weird selective memory where anything from the 70s/80s (before they were born) gets overromanticised and anything from the 90s (especially if it happened outside of the Premier League) they sort of take for granted. I also think Heysel has a bit to do with it.

Speaking of awesome Danes.. loving Schmeichel. I don't think there's been a better goalkeeper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFhAm67r9h8 Cantona edged this guy out of heroic status for me. He was phenomenal.

I've been searching for a video I saw of andrei kanchelskis best goals since the majority of them came from a throw past the half way line by Schmeichel. It looks like its been removed though.

One of the best parts of his game and it sparked so so many United counter attacks. He easily and frequently threw it past the halfway line onto a sixpence for the United player that was there. De Gea has the best distribution of a United keeper since Schmeichel.

I can throw the ball out well past the halfway line on a soccer field, can't kick for poo poo or command the area though but reckon Stoke would give me a tryout?

please respond posted:I can throw the ball out well past the halfway line on a soccer field, can't kick for poo poo or command the area though but reckon Stoke would give me a tryout? No, because you can't kick for poo poo. Therefore you can't a: launch long ball to opponent's box nor b: kick the poo poo out of an opposing attacker. Sorry Tom.

Perhaps I could stand behind the goal with a towel to dry off the ball and when a quick throw is required I'd do it somehow. I'll hash out the details later.

Michael Laudrup had similar problems re: mentality. Read the quotes on his wiki page. Had the talent to be the best ever. quote:"One of the most difficult players I have worked with. When he gives 80–90% he is still by far the best, but I want 100%, and he rarely does that." - Cruyff

Brian deliberately sought out smaller clubs (and in theory lower pressure) partly because he had seen what the intense pressure had done to his brother. His talent was to there no doubt, Barcelona tried to sign him while he was at Rangers and he turned them down. Michael ended up turning down Liverpool at age 18 because they tried adding an extra year to the already agreed 3 year deal, without offering more money as they felt he needed an "apprentice year" year. Michael knew he was ready to play and told them there was no way he would give them a free year. Instead he went to the best league in the world at the time where his main competition was the best player in the world at the time.

I think the Messi's key is not that he has such control, but rather that he's so left footed, its like a double sided foot. He has the same control with the outside as he does with the inside. That, plus his lower center of gravity, lets him do some wonderful things on the ball.

He suggested someone put up a compilation of random, unhead of defenders from lowly CL teams or from the Copa Del Rey dispossessing Messi and otherwise getting the better of him. Still a good video, though I question the inclusion of Marcelo and Nani as "great players".
