Interesting point work rate wise. But passing range and accuracy wise, would you say it's a no brainer to go with Platini? Especially with CR and Kaka's pace?

In his setup Platini makes the most sense in this setup, I was just talking in general.

Thanks. Out of curiosity, have you watched Platini vs United in the OP?

Nope, will do if I get the time.
 
Falcao profile courtesy of @Fortitude I would pay particular attention to comments about his defensive game which has been noted as not being as good:

IMO, Falcao is the most skilled CM there has ever been - at least on film - and he could do things with a ball that none of the others could whilst possibly not being as good defensively as them. He could more than hold his own behind the ball and was positionally astute to a level that would be deemed world class in its own right. In modern football, he would be moved to AM because his skills are too undeniable to be 'wasted' with defensive duties. Falcao's skillset is like an amalgamation of numerous great midfielders rolled into one: Easily one of the best distance shooters in history; comfortably one of the best dribblers from midfield; two-footed to top percentile levels; combination passing to equal Xavi; one-touch to equal Busquets; long-passing not far off Pirlo and co.; an ability to convert in the box like a ghosting attacking midfielder; stamina; acceleration; pace; heading; volleying. Falcao has no weaknesses or deficiencies. Even if he isn't the best at a particular facet, he'll be top 5 in the majority of categories for a midfielder. If we were to score each attribute out of 100, across the board, it tallies to an extraordinary points total that I don't believe anyone else can match.

Falcao was the highest paid player in the world for a period of the 80's and was also vying with Platini to be the best player in the whole of Serie A. His legend has actually diminished greatly with time so whilst Platini is still considered a true great, you have to dig a lot deeper to find similar comments regarding Falcao despite him being a par player during their playing careers.




 
Only player in the last ten years to destroy us like that, that second goal was a thing of beauty.
Suarez did a number on us in a game where Kuyt somehow ended up scoring three goals. Perhaps a less elegant, but equally devastating performance. cnut.

Torres also had some devastating performances against us.
 
Excellent presentation @Ecstatic . The only thing underwhelming in your team IMO is the CB pair as others have mentioned. Bar that I think you would've won this.

10 GOOD REASONS TO VOTE FOR ECSTATIC


1) You think that Football is a collective sport and knows what football heritage means
2) You think any aspect in the Game matters: technical skills, stats but also
- Pace: and I have a higher # of players with a devastating
- Power: Vieira & Lerby are unrivalled in this regard
3) You believe in the Holy Trinity: Power/Pace/Cruelty
4) You have noticed there is a clear allocation of tasks between all the players
5) Like Mourinho, you prefer SPECIALISTS instead of multidisciplinary players
6) You think my right-flank could generate troubles when you look at the positioning of Heynckes (and I have chosen his "best game" according to the Youtuber) who
--- seems mainly evolved in the inside channels
--- tend to slow down the process



7) You know Juan Pablo Sorin and what he brings on the pitch and off the pitch

8) Face A: My team will be naturally compact, patient and organized

9) Face B: devastating in counter-attack

10) Alliance of Power, Pace, Work-rate and Collective intelligence and heart beats everything!
 
@Ecstatic don't you believe our team has any pace or power?
 
In mourinhos system you can afford one luxury players (in this case Ronaldo) but you also have Kaka he won't put a shift in like Eto'o, furthermore I don't think you have the defensive quality to keep out my attack. With Beckenbauer organising at the back I don't think we will get caught out often.
 
@Ecstatic That is genius. :lol:
