The best are also really good when that "mistake" has been made.

Most of those "mistakes" aren't mistakes of the defenders, but by players ahead of them. Maybe that wasn't true when Maldini played in some of the best organised defensive setups in the world, but certainly the norm most of the time.

There's only so much a CB can do to make the pass impossible. And some of the best CBs and defenders in the world have been excellent when things go wrong (whoever made the mistake), including Maldini. That's a big part in what's made them great.

players during those time had a lot of say in terms of in game management. they didn't really have to stick to the coach's game plan unlike today. maldini was seldom caught out because he was always conservative and more than ready to drop his defence line to ensure that he could catch the through balls. and coaches then trusted (and even relied) on players like these then.

its a different time now its true.

Burky's 1st law of defending:

Good defenders tackle.
Great defenders intercept.
The best defenders threaten the pass so much that the ball is never even attempted

Back in the dark ages when I first had any coaching the great Bill Shipwright (Watford centteback) use to tell us the most important things to do was stay on your feet and don't let the ball bounce if you're going to head it. Terrible information to me as my hero was Dave Mackay and I loved a sliding tackle no matter what surface we trained on.

Same here. I loved slide tackles as a kid and didn't care about the surface.

Now I'm even more confused. I'm familiar with Danbert Nobacon and Alice Nutter of Chumbawamba.

Is it something to do with this https://www.taskmaster.info/attempt.php?id=9691 ?

In the 70s, I played a lot of fantasy role-playing (FRP), and Egbert Nobacon was the name of one of my characters. He was the minder to the wizard, Manny Festations. And if you think that pun is bad and borderline racist, you probably won't like his mates from the Wizards' Guild, the sorcerous twins Abe Cadabra and Abu Cadabra.

I don't think I ever played a character called Roland Beurre, but he did feature in an FRP supplement I published. That publication also featured a character called Nunn the Wiser, and I fear that's where we are at now.

Au contraire, I am considerably wiser now, thank you Roly.

PS. Vusk the Tusk the Elon Musk is hopefully playing for Hamburg at 1830.

So you're not a nutter?
 
Vusk did well
0-0
Voted 8.3 best player on Fotmob

He plays right at the back, 1 or 5 or 10 yards behind the others, ready to mop up, then comes powering forwards for big headers.

He has really nice touch and disguise e.g. if he is up the pitch and the ball breaks to him, he will do a swerve and step over and ping in a cross with the outside of his foot, way more tekkers than you would expect.

Had a tough battle. The game was 100 minutes and must have had 200 injuries, so many players lying screaming in agony.
 
They have highlights on fotmob up already, so will give that a watch.

Didn't make a tackle again, but won 18 of his 20 aerial duals

One on my teammates once told a ref he was Rick O'Shea when being booked.
