Good Footy Players With Obvious Weaknesses In Their Game

[montpelier]

where 'good' is mainly about the level they played at, despite.. (in your opinion)

I'll start

Scholes - tackling
Michael Owen - penalties, barely reached the GK sometimes
Dennis Wise - size, being a bellend
Manuel Almunia - not that great at getting in the way of shots on goal
Xhaka - first touch, tackling

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

Anderson - Burgers

 

[Canagel]

Smalling - Passing.

Xhaka - first touch, tackling

good at all other things though

 

[Macern]

Lukaku - playing football
John O’Shea - not lifting the foot above the ball when recieving a ground pass

 

[Silas]

Robben - Use of the weaker foot

 

[Kops 'n' Robertsons]

Messi - headers

 

[MemphisDepay]

Antonio Valencia

 

[rcoobc]

Gerrard - Awareness, concentration, slipping, Lampard.

 

[flappyjay]

Blind- too slow. I think if he had average pace could be close to being a great left back. His speed, rather lack of speed holds him back so much.

 

[Macern]

Terry - penalties

 

[World Game]

A lot of players - their other foot.

 

[pascell]

Januzaj & Depay - dedication and maturity.
Ravel Morrison- see above.
Wilshire & Jones - injury prone
Balotelli - mentality or lack of the right mentality

 

[Ballache]

Blind - Pace
Mignolet - Goalkeeping
Lukaku - First touch

 

[Infordin]

Isco and Pogba - selfishness

 

[Achilles McCool]

Beckham - dribbling faster than a walk

 

[Kivu]

Herrera - Shooting

 

[RooneyLegend]

A lot of players - their other foot.

Especially left footed ones.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Ryan Giggs - right foot
Owen Hargreaves - a fully functioning body

 

[Amar__]

I think Xhaka is closer to being poor footy player with one or two good attributes than the opposite.

 

[RooneyLegend]

Messi-breaking a sweat
Ronaldo-passing and crossing
Iniesta and Xavi-Shooting
Zidane-acceleration
Becks-dribbling
Maradona-non existent right foot
Ramos-actual defending
Chielini-technical ability
Dembele-passing and shooting
Willian-football brain
Fabregas-defending as a whole
Pirlo-see fabregas

Scholes - tackling
Michael Owen - penalties, barely reached the GK sometimes
Dennis Wise - size, being a bellend
Manuel Almunia - not that great at getting in the way of shots on goal
Xhaka - first touch, tackling

Gerrard - Positional sense. Thomas Mueller - technical ability

 

[donkeyfish]

Pirlo - Running

 

[Physiocrat]

Especially left footed ones.

That's very true. I think it maybe that right footed players have to develop their left foot as there isn't always a left footed player to play on the left so they have to. In contrast, left footed players will only play on the left or as an inside forward so don't need to develop their other foot.

 

[Micky Targaryen]

Lukaku - Strength

 

[lysglimt]

Terry - penalties

You forgot teammates wives

 

[freeurmind]

Messi - headers

I think Messi despite his stature is a very good header of the ball.

 

[freeurmind]

Henry- headers
Joe Hart- distribution
Tim Howard- handling
Adebayor- Staying onside
Ronaldinho- staying out of nightclubs.

 

[duffer]

Ronaldo is shit at free kicks.

 

[Hark Muse]

Shearer - The nerve to play for a big club.

 

[Cutch]

Januzaj & Depay - dedication and maturity.
Ravel Morrison- see above.
Wilshire & Jones - injury prone
Balotelli - mentality or lack of the right mentality

There’s a lot of things Depay could be accused of, but lack of dedication isn’t one of them. Always sounds incredibly driven and motivated in interviews and he’s in incredible physical shape. He’s just not that enough at football and his dedication to getting in the best possible shape has if anythin made him too bulky to be a nippy and tricky wide man

 

[deltakaye]

Riquelme - pace

 

[ThierryHenry]

Messi - headers

Been in any Champions League finals lately?

 

[Theafonis]

Mata - tracking back
Defoe-Height,consistency
Oscar-mentality
Draxler-guidance, Schalke had shit coaches for the years he was there. Never really had someone solid to guide him like Favre or Klopp

 

[Bebe]

Koscielny - Lack of bottle/composure in big games
Welbeck - finishing

 

[dogwithabone]

In the early days De Gea coming off his line. He barely ventured off the line. Ferdinand used to do overtime getting his head on balls that should have been the keepers.

 

[Nedved]

Zidane - keeping a low profile in finals
Buffon - ability to age
Balotelli - decision making in life
Giuseppe Rossi - staying fit
Adriano - staying sober

 

[Hoof the ball]

Smalling - Passing.

Literally passes right into the man every time. Would make an incredible sting-the-ring player!

 

[Skills]

Phil Jones - face

 

[Dolf]

Blind - pace
I swear if Blind had Valencia’s pace (and maybe physique) we would have one of the best left backs in the league
