      I've probably missed a couple out, but I'd say below defenders other than Ramos are around equal, but Van Dijk just edges it because he is younger which means his stamina will be a bit higher.

      Kompany - 32
      Godin - 32
      Chiellini - 34
      Pique - 31
      Ramos - 32
      Alderweireld - 29
      Van Dijk - 27

      But he does not read the game as well as the others you have named yet

      Dembele is quality and I'd have him here.

      But Pulisic is still my no.1 preference.

      Mags Look it up for yourself... You have trouble believing me even though I pointed out that two of the four sites name agreed with you and two site did not.

      But what it proves is that different people/experts/pundits view things in different ways

      Everything I looked up that wasn't called 'best CBs at the world cup' have him listed in the top 5 never mind the top 3.

      I would suggest you check the dates on the articles you've read, I would bet they are 2017 or older

      Swab, you take a persons opinion, condescend it and swear at the poster.
      You're not a wise guy yourself. Instead of debating you just insult.
      Even if you don't agree you need to chill out before get a peptic ulcer or something.

      These stats don't bullsh*t.



      https://eplindex.com/16070/decline-pepe-reina-stats-analysis.html

      You don't really have an opinion of any worth though.
      What is it with you, where you think that just because you have an opinion, it's automatically worth something.
      It's not.
      It's been as plain as day since you first came onto this forum that you don't really have a clue.
      It's fine, if you're new to football, all you have to do is ask, but instead, you go in for this ridiculous posturing and try to bullshit your way through instead of just admitting that you don't know something or that you are new to football.

      Now you're trying to throw out spurious stats on a save percentage that mean absolutely nothing without context, just so that you can continue this nonsense about Reina.

      Here's all you need to know about Reina; he was one of the finest 'keepers we've had, whose form dipped a little at time, like all players form dips sometimes.
      He was exceptional, and would have been the Spain number 1 for years if Casillas hadn't been around.


      Now you can keep bullshitting all you want, but at the end of the day, there are a lot of things about football that you can't find on wiki.

      I wouldn't bother Mags.
      He's just going to spend page after page justifying why he isn't posting anything to back up what he posted, then try and move the goalposts.

      I'm, pretty sure at this point that him and ribs are just playing a game to see who can wind people up with the most nonsense.

      How the F***ing F**k is this F***ing argument still going? I thought it was an amusing weird "one guy just has to be different for the sake of a stupid argument" kinda situation when I saw this yesterday. Now it's just F***ing stupidity.

      Who gives a F***ing F**k what anyone else says. The eye test as a Liverpool centre half is all we need, isn't it? Look at our team pre/post VvD and you have all you need. He's world class, playing for a world class team.

      This is stupid.

      My Man Utd supporting mate said to me today and I quote “you scouse cu*ts signed the best Centre half in the world and we have to put up with Chris F***ing Smalling and lindllof.”.
      From my mate this is nothing short of a miracle.

      I literally cannot find the articles you've claimed to have read. I've looked for 20 minutes. They don't exist or I'm not searching for what you searched for.

      I found the one where it says VVD 3rd best defender in the world. Whatever happened to the Castrol player ratings? They used to be good for stuff like this.


      3rd best defender

      https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/ranked-10-best-centre-backs-world?page=0%2C1&_format=amp

      11th best player overall

      Yep I couldn’t find one that had him outside the top 5. Only exceptions were articles in 2017 or articles about the World Cup.

      As much as I hate Ramos I'd easily have him in the top5 along with Godin, Chiellini, VVD and Pique

      You have to search ‘Van Dijk not in top 10’ and put the bullshit filter on.

      I think since Alex Jones was removed from the web a lot of these sources have disappeared.

      Gay frogs and VvD being sh*te. Conspiracy theories the world is glad to get rid of.
