Very underrated by us Chelsea fans itself.... Azpi can play LB RB CB CDM LWB RWB it's only as wingback he's bit unsure but most of the time he'll give a 7/10 or above performance....
guys... they didnt say fullback... they said defender... getting a red card isnt a mistake for a defender... letting a striker get past him is ... nd ive rarely seen anyone get past azpilicueta...
Dragonaut111 You gotta look at the bigger picture. A red card is a mistake for a defender if the red card itself leads to the demise of the team. But if a defender gets a second yellow because he stopped a potentially deadly counter attack in the 90th minute by pulling a shirt, and then his team wins, then that red card is most certainly not a mistake.
I feel like we are just hating Manchester city but seriously, He gets away with so much shit every game, and makes silly challenges and mistakes every game or 2.
Best defender gotta be Ivanovic... when he's in position NOBODY can get through him, not even the likes of Messi and Iniesta... and when he's attacking and entering the other teams box he gives Costa and Hazard the freedom to drive in and get spaces... Best fullback in the world... his only problem is that when he goes forward, he leaves the right side vulnerable... Azpi on the other hand is solid and maybe the best 1 on 1 defender, but he rarely supports the offense and most importantly, when Terry gets caught out of position, Azpilicueta never covers up for the gap, we've seen that in the Swansea's second goal against Chelsea... Azpi made an amateur's mistake that day which led to goal, and he repeated that same mistake many other times but Chelsea were lucky not to concede....
***** Under normal circumstances, Ivanovic would be covering Cahill who plays on his side of the pitch... But in Chelsea's case, Ivanovic operates as the Right Back and the Right winger, so instead of having to cover up for someone, he needs Matic to cover up for him... So basically what's happening is that Chelsea always end up with 3 defenders at the back (Terry, Cahill, Azpilicueta) + Matic who is a Defensive Mid, because Ivanovic is busy doing Willian/Schurrle's job as a right winger... Mourinho knows that Chelsea's weakness is the right wingers, thats why he has Ivanovic doing their job for them... Azpilicueta and Felipe Luis can never do what Ivanovic does...
I'm a Chelsea fan but when Cahill plays without Terry he is exposed. Azpi is 2nd to none but Terry's been consistent the past 10-15 years so I'd go for him personally!
Kompany is a liability at times. Reckless at times. Seen him getting beaten too many times to be classed as the best or one of the best centre halfs. Mertesacker is a fantastic leader at the back and has fantastic decision making. Cahill and Terry are pretty close.
Not sure if you're srs regarding Mertesacker but whatever. I wouldn't say Kompany is 'reckless' he just isn't a modern day defender, he doesn't sit off people and drop deep, he engages with the man of the ball, just a different style of defending and he gets it right more times than not. You've also got to remember that Kompany plays for City, where their 2 midfielders, especially Fernandinho/Toure have virtually no intention of defending, Pelligrini plays open attacking football, meaning the back four have to work much harder and cover much more ground, where as Chelsea, they defend as a team, how many times do teams get in between Chelseas midfield and defense? very rarely! Meaning terry/cahil have much more protection. If Kompany played for Chelsea, he would look even better
lol so many people judge player from thier reputation and fame not their performance azpilicueta is best defender without a doubt and iam united's fan only his mistake is red card again palace
People forget that Chelsea's defence is excellent because they WORK AS A TEAM. Mourinho is a defence specialist, he always gets his defenders to work hard on defending together. The defenders themselves are not exceptional (par maybe Terry but really he is past his best), they just are trained very well and so is the rest of the team in covering the back 4. In terms of individual defenders, Kompany is undisputedly the best defender, his ability is above the others in the PL.
Rolls Reus Hahaha you pathetic loser, nice top 10 list...Oh wait, you'd rather insult than try and explain your supposed football knowledge, but maybe that's too difficult as it is seemingly non-existent.
TheDevilsMessenger4 He is perhaps the most disciplined. Kompany has a better defensive ability - this is clear, he tackles harder, is stronger, quick, can win headers etc. He may not be as consistent as Azpilicueta but without a shadow of a doubt he is a more gifted player.
David Hasslehoff You want my top ten Hasslehoff? To name my top ten quickly, in a non accurate order, except Koscielny. THIS SEASON, IN MY OPINION. The top ten premier league defenders are: 1. Koscielny 2. Terry 3. Azpilicueta 4. Cahill 5. Vertonghen 6. Jordi Amat 7. Coloccini 8. Ivanovic 9. Jagielka 10.Mertesacker 11. Calum Chambers. 12. Vlaar Kompany's dogshit.
In a follow up statement, why does no one mention Jordi Amat? He's fucking amazing. If you actually watch him play, he is an absolutely unreal defender. One of my favourite players ever.
Kompany is the most over-rated player in World football. He's a good defender but not world-class like people make him out to be. I admire him as a player he works hard, is a great leader and very well-spoken if you've seen him in any interviews. But he makes so many mistakes, more than any other top tier CB. People think that just cause he's rated highly on FIFA and he's the champions captain that makes him one of the best in the world. It doesn't, he's nowhere near the level of Ramos, Silva, Godin and Hummels. Even in the PL i think Kosielny and Terry and both better.
Honorable mention Laurent Koscielny. Much improved this season and doesn't benefit from great protection from midfield (no Diaby, Ramsey and Wilshere decent but not on same level defensively as Matic/Ramires and Fernandinho/Fernando. Great pace and good in the air.
He's right even though kompany is better in center, reason is he has everything a defender needs pace, defensive ability, heading and even has attacking tributes to show hes an all rounder completely agree
For the amount of mistakes he makes, not a chance. Physically he's immaculate, and his positioning awareness is right at the top, but he gets caught out way too easily in certain situations and his marking is very suspect.
Matt I WBA Exactly, I don't really watch City but against West Ham he could have been sent off twice and against United. He actually gets away with a lot of tackles from behind a player and I think his status as captain helps him.
Top defenders: Chelsea back 4 AM back 4 Bayern back 4 Thiago Silva+ Marquinhos Hummels and Pizczczcek Zabaleta and Kompany Chiellini, Koscielny, Ramos, Paletta and Ricardo Rodriguez
***** Hmmm, They are good but im not sure if they can be considered top..... Varane, Carvajal and Marquinhos will eventually be at the top. Pepe is not at Cahill, Terry, Godin, Miranda, Benataia, Chiellini, Hummels, Koscielny, Ramos level
Many people here talking about Kompany. I think with the amount of experience these two EX-DEFENDERS have beats yours by a 1000 miles, so let's just listen to them. They're both unbiased, and they ALWAYS make a good point. They're not saying Kompany isn't great, but the number of mistakes he makes, compapred to others at Chelsea is a lot more. For example, on their worst days, Terry and Cahill are still pretty good. On their best, unbeatable. Azpilicueta barring that one mis-timed tackle this season, has been flawless... FLAWLESS. You look at Kompany (not just this season, even the last two) He does things defenders shouldn't do....
I really don't know what to make of football anymore. ivanovic is without doubt the best fullback in the league then comes probably zabaleta. But I tell you one thing you take terry away from chelsea you get what happened during villa boas time at the club. it is an outrage that they have said azpilicueta he don't go forward.
"he don't go forward"... You realise they are talking about the defensive aspect of his game right? Yes a modern fullback has to be a complete player, but they are NOT talking about any of that. Just defending. Get it?
H Ansell yeah but hes a full back if you just want to defend then play centre back. What I'm saying is when chelsea play big teams. Because he don't go forward its very easy for teams to get on top. But I also can't hear someone say best defender in the league and not say terry. You take terry out of chelsea last 3 years, cahill would still be average and the would be so unorganised.
Zabaleta is good going forward but defensively is v.suspect. Ivanovic is better all-around. Both are good but out of the two it has to be Ivanovic for me.
I think it's the other way around to be honest. Ivanovic is very good going forward but i'd prefer Zabaleta defensively. Ivanovic has better protection around him. Zabaleta is a beast of a defender.
Ivanovic is the best defender in the league by a country mile and this is coming from a liverpool fan! koschilyn is my second choice its just arsenal that let him down hes an amazing defender on an individual basis!
Mertesacker got to be the best defender in the premier league, I mean look at the guys pace, which Is lightning quick. Arsenal also have the best defensive record in the league too. XD
I thoroughly disagree with Azpilicueta being the best defender in the league. That honour falls to Vincent Kompany. Or at the moment maybe even John Terry, Gary Cahill or Brani Ivanovic.
Coming from a Chelsea fans point of view I would still say Kompany was the better all round defender. But he does have mistakes in his locker. As for Azpilicueta you rarely see him make mistakes, only Premier League mistake I recall is the red card against Crystal Palace a few weeks ago. Poor tackle and deserved the red.
Sakib Yasar Nope didn't know that. It was deserved though, can't tackle like that. If the guy who was on the receiving end had his foot planted in the ground it would of snapped his leg.
I agree, he was guilty and he was punished but it should not make him view as a nasty player, and its about time he gets the praise for performing well. Like last year this time he was frozen in the bench by Mourinho...
Stop playing FIFA, watch the games. Cahill-Ivanovic-Koscielny-Terry-Coleman(Fullback)-Mertesacker, hell even Demichelis are all better than him in center. Kompany had 1 good season when City won the league. Now if you're a good dribbler, its easy to bypass him, Kompany makes mistakes compared to the others
Michael Diamond Are you stupid? :D Terry has been the best CB in England for years... :D Ask any coach or pundit, they would rather have Terry and Kompany.... Please don't even talk about Mertesacker or Demichellis in the same sentence as these two. Terry and Kompany are of a different level. Kompany is awesome, but not as good as Terry. And Terry is older and still performs his best in every game of the season. You can see inconsistency in Kompany by LARGE variations when he plays. Terry on his worst day, is still amazing.
'I don't see him make a mistake' - last season against Sunderland for the penalty? getting sent off against palace? Doesn't say much when they thought Lovren was one of the best defenders in the league last season.
He slipped and Altidore stepped on his foot rather than the other way round. Wasn't a pen. Red card v Palace was a bad tackle and deserved but it's like the only bad thing he's done in the league.
Azpilicueta doesn't make mistakes? He got sent off against Palace a few weeks ago with an awful tackle. Don't get me wrong, I think he's pretty decent but I reckon Laurent Koscielny, Vincent Kompany and Nathaniel Clyne are one of the best defenders in the league at this present moment.
Of course, but I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible. I really believe Koscielny is one of the best around. Of course, your Kompany's Terry's etc are regarded as the best because they've won more trophies as captains, but Koscielny is real unsung hero. He's one of our best players. Without him, our defence would be crap.
Humiliated in the World Cup, a laughing stock in the Euros, nowhere in the Champions League - yet these English pundits have the nerve to tell us how football should be played.
Conor Carson Djalma Santos is the best rb of all time, Cafu 2nd Berti Vogts 3rd Victor Rodrgiez Andrade 4th Lilian Thurman 5th Bob Crompton 6th CARLOS ALBERTO 7th Orvar Bergmark 8th Zanetti 11th Kaltz 19th 49 gary neville Just because you don't know some of the older players doesn't mean he's the best. Not even close. forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/the-100-greatest-right-backs-of-all-time.1274036/page-3 Cheers
still underrated even after 6 years
Guys stop going by what overall he is on fifa and start actually watching some football. All the Chelsea defenders deserve the credit they get.
I don't think people watch or follow football anymore like old days. They are too much into FIFA in terms of judging players that's just pathetic.
I play fifa because I love football, not watch football because I love fifa
I agree mate. Same here.

i actually totally agree... always thought he was mega underrated
still is
Gary and Jamie speak the truth thats why many people do not like them but sometimes the truth hurts
Ivanovic is so so underrated
True and he now scores lol
No
+Robin Hirori Hey.
SebGFx Lmao he was underrated at the time
I think he's just too slow to be a full back. His pace, his build, his physical attributes make him a great CB but not RB
Tbh, Kompany is way too overrated. He has his good games but can make silly silly silly unnecessary tackles.
I feel like we are just hating Manchester city but seriously, He gets away with so much shit every game, and makes silly challenges and mistakes every game or 2.
I said this comment in November... look how shit he is now

Completely agree with them. Fantastic defender. The dream BPL back four would be Azpilicueta, Mertesacker, Cahill, Baines
Mertesacker? man plssssss
Has to be Terry instead of Mertesacker
Kompany and Terry are surely the two best center halves in the league???
Kompany is a liability at times. Reckless at times. Seen him getting beaten too many times to be classed as the best or one of the best centre halfs. Mertesacker is a fantastic leader at the back and has fantastic decision making. Cahill and Terry are pretty close.

Chelsea back line

Kompany

Silva from psg
That come to mind

TycraneVG Irrelevant... Mats Hummels is one of the best defenders in the world, he proved that in the World Cup.
Is subotic a top 10 defeneer? Pizczcczsek(cant spell his name) is 2nd best BvB defender after Hummels.
Miranda, Godin, Koscielny, Marquinhos Chiellini are all better CBs than Subotic and Sokratis in my opinion
Arsenal .fan marquinhos? very debatable
What about Kompany? IMO he is the best in the league and in the top 3 defenders in the world.
For the amount of mistakes he makes, not a chance. Physically he's immaculate, and his positioning awareness is right at the top, but he gets caught out way too easily in certain situations and his marking is very suspect.

Chelsea are top for a reason; their back four is the best in the league, and players like Cahill and Dave are consistent, reliable and flawless.

Conor Carson Djalma Santos is the best rb of all time, Cafu 2nd Berti Vogts 3rd Victor Rodrgiez Andrade 4th Lilian Thurman 5th Bob Crompton 6th CARLOS ALBERTO 7th Orvar Bergmark 8th
Zanetti 11th
Kaltz 19th
49 gary neville
Just because you don't know some of the older players doesn't mean he's the best. Not even close.
