Dimmu Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 We are obsessed with these, aren't we? We have sausaging lot of thread about Thorne, Omar and Eustace...So I thought I'd like to know who is best one you've seen? What attributes do you appreciate most? Makelele for me, Pirlo bubbling under. Two very different players but both amazing talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Bob Malcolm certainly left an impression on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAT Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Makelele was first one to mind for me too. Made JT look good whilst he was still and inexperienced defender.Tough tackling, covered plenty of ground, took up good positions and passed the ball on to the players who could play.Perfect!

RLACML Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Javi Martinez is my probably my favourite defensive midfielder. What a beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Graeme Souness for me, he would rip the most aggressive opposition to shreds. Then he was also capable of bursting into the box to score whilst having the ability to smash one in from 20yards plus too.If he was availalable in today's market he would be around £30-40m ish??

Bris Vegas Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 The very first once which made a big impression and highlighted the importance for me - during my lifetime - was Makelele. He was the key player during Real Madrid's Galactico era.Nowadays, there are loads of players about but my favourite is Sergio Busquets. Simply world class in everything, and such an intelligent player. I didn't like his previous diving, but he's cut that out over the past couple of years. The guy even broke his foot the other week and came off smiling, such a team player.But other players such as Xabi Alonso, Javi Martinez, Andrea Pirlo get honourable mentions.There are others, such as Schweinsteiger, Modric, Pjanic, Kroos, Xavi but these aren't really typically defensive midfielders though they can play there well - espeically Modric.I reckon the best DM in England at the moment is Matic, followed by Coquelin and then probably Carrick. Shows how little quality there is about with those 3 as the PL's finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'd say Martinez too. I also like Xabi Alonso and Jeremy Toulalan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Over the years, Bryan Robson, David Batty, Tim Sherwood, Paul Ince, Nicky Butt, Emanuelle Petit, Vieira, Essien, Mascherano, right now I'm looking forward to.watching which way Arron Ramsey goes as midfielder. Gary Speed was good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 This season its Matic, Chelsea look half as good without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
