@@WARHEADINHO brother im a city fan and it was a joke

@@prodbyluk ohhh k

Defo

Exactly

Rw tho👀👀👀

@@JibRules excuse me what game was playing in the background after the tom and jerry part.

It's wingers that are lagging behind, not strikers. Wingers are so boring now

there arent many world class left backs

Great point, but just remember that they all started somewhere

I assure you if drogba, villa and auba were reincarnated now and we saw how they were playing hardly anyone would label them as worldclass. For auba it would be about his link up play and reliance on his pace, for villa it would be his physical profile and possibly his general goal scoring record, for drogba it would be his goal scoring prowess. but also a lot of goal scoring burden has shifted to other positions and this isnt new. rvp used to be a winger, drogba likewise, villa likewise, suarez as well and he also played as a 10, benzema was also a winger. Now we have son, salah, mane more recently. before that we had bale and so on. so this is a bit of cherry picking. good attacking teams often face low blocks and are reliant more and more on attacking rotations, set piece routines and counterpressing to create goal scoring oppurtunities. hence, less space in behind, and also fewer oppurtunities for strikers to beat a defender or to catch defenders exposed in transition because of how teams set up against big teams. Also the statistical barrier for world class is much much much higher now -- i think in part because of ronaldo and messi. but ronaldo and messi probably faced some of the generally weakest defensive competetion we have seen in the last quarter century at least -- both in terms of general defensive structure, and also the emphasis for defensive personnel. now we see a shift back to some older personal methods such as back 4's with players all taller than 6 feet, or the normalization of center backs playing as fullbacks. Recall Ronaldo was considered world class and balondor competetive even with 2 seasons with less than 20 league goals, he was an elite goal scoring threat at that time. Now we can have people simulteneously say there are harldy any worldclass strikers yet in many leagues there are numeroues elite goal scoring threats -- kane, salah, haaland, mpabbe, gyorkeres, watkins, dovbyk (who based on his skillset and track record should have a lot more acclaim) etc. But also that past football was about flair or had more flair i dont know if that really holds true. there was a lot more duels and long balls in older football, or rather there was more chaos. but there is definitely still lots of mavericks, flair and individual brilliance now. perhaps in more repetitive and patterned ways -- such as repeated 1on1 attempts at a targeted defender, or reliance on press resistance from a single midfielder. but thats not entirely new either. look at how madrid relied on zidane, and how almost every game in the 2000s kicked off with an early long ball down the wings. if you want individual mavericks just look at a player like doku, or xavi simmons, or even ross barkley this season theres plenty more that play in such ways. and even in the past zidane doenst get to shine as bright without makilele. likewise hazard and kante.

Stop throwing around the term world class and not know what it means. There are more than a couple of world class strikers, it’s just that you only look at the two best strikers in the world without even paying attention to the others.

Nah I mean some do, it all depends on tactics. Even Haaland before joining City was a more complete striker, nowadays he's a pure target man, I feel Guardiola's not using him in his fullest, even with the risk of diminishing his overall output. His performances in the Madrid matches were embarrassing, he should implement more variegated movement to become more unpredictable, just like he used to do with Dortmund

I really like Santiago Gimenez on this regard

​@brutanedda3107 True, his best moment of the game was when he went deep, defying Pep's instruction, to get the ball, dribble past 4 or 5 defenders, and get the ball to Grealish. I'm a City fan, but Haaland needs to go to a club like Madrid, where they're more of a counter attacking and through ball team, rather than a possession team like City.

@@SemmeralddynamicsBaammyHaaland isn’t cultured enough to carry the burden of being a Madrid no9

At this point even a 39 year old Cristiano has more in-game influence than Haaland. Let's be honest, we RARELY saw Haaland dribble, score long shots or make an Ozil-esque pass.

Yeah- bad take from me. He’s DEAD

@@JibRules you have only bad takes and ur not even funny

Nuñez is literally world class tho. He’s easily in the top 1000 players. He also plays in the best league in the world how is he not world class?

That Darwin Nunez take from Jib is super sus.

Ah says the 2010 boys

David Villa, Torres, & Eto'o 🤌🏿

ronaldo and messi were not strikers, they only played those roles occasionally, and out of necessity in messi's case (he was a false 9 when villa broke his leg). there are top goal scorers regardless -- haaland, mpabbe, salah etc. A lot of top teams also are less dependent on a main goal scoring outlet and there are still all time elite strikers in their prime -- kane for instance.

@@shadow_realm47 that's so tru became both, dribble merchant and pace merchant but I have been working on my shooting, inshallah I will make it into professional football☺️

@@mohammadet2138You got this bro! I believe in your dreams, go on and make them happy💪🏿

Thank you brother ❤️

I completely agree. Many teams utilise the false 9 more than a true striker therefore a natural decline of "real" strikers has occured

Thank you brother that feels like yesterday. this is only the beginning ❤️🙏⭐️

GREETINGS FROM LONDON MY MEXICAN BRUDDAH

I have previously made a video about Guirassy- I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out on stuggarts development

Harry is way better than Lewandowski

Thank you, my nanas slippers

I think just give it a few years and players will flourish

@@JibRules the problem is 10 years ago we already had strikers that were world class under 30’s ( kun aguero , Luis Suarez, cavani , benzema, Lewandowski, falcão, Diego Costa , Van persie , Rooney ) not to mention player’s above 30’s ibrahimovic , drogba , David villa , this generation’s is very mid ! A lot of clubs they don’t have strikers , Madrid, Man utd, chelsea

Some are not world class but getting close. 1) haaland 2) osimhen 3) lautaro 4) Boniface 5) gyokeres 6) kane is still 30 7) isak 8) vlahovic 9)thuram 10) Toney 11) guirassy Those are just from the top of my head and lots of them are having a phenomenal season

@@arthurwong9017 none of them are world class , only Haaland and lautaro Martinez and maybe isak….

@@diogopires4997 hence refer to original comment. Some are not world class. Close.

Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Maybe, I just try to talk about things nobody else talks about

@@JibRules you could make a video on vfb stuttgart.. they really went under the shadow of leverkusen this season

neverlusen*

Good ear 👂

Thank you leng man ‼️‼️

Jib Rules Wisdom

He's Elite in todays football, hes a bench player in Any other era

@@77_ACE. I would say it’s reversed in an earlier era he would easily be a starter

Nobody realised- that brudda is WASHED

Thank you

Yeah systems have restricted players so munch

Amazing comment, thank you 🙏

We are in the era of Tactical Systems also known as 70% Boring 30% Excitement per season

Defenders r way better that's why

NOT A STRIKER

I don’t think there’s a shortage, but more higher standards of what’s talent. Football has become dependent on players that come from once and a Millennium: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Society is so used to them scoring 50 to 60 goals a season that anyone that doesn’t provide that is seen as “disappointing”.

@Susanoo1016 This is the wildest take I've seen. The average player 20 years ago has superior technique to the average player today. The focus today is efficiency and proficiency and physical performance compared to before, where it was mostly what you can do with the ball. Players are scoring more today than they ever did. Football isn't short of goals or goal scorers. The issue is that players aren't that good with the ball. The focus is elsewhere.

You just proved their point, hojlund elite😮 levels are shocking

Fifa 08

Mitrovic is fraudulent

MITROVIC?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I don’t think he will achieve that status if Newcastle don’t build around him and achieve UCL football consistently

So He wont reach his full potiental If Newcastle isnt good enough Thats fair

W comment

I don’t consider him a striker brother

He is winger

He's more of a winger

Very top- but his numbers aren’t amazing I’d like to see him at a different side

​@BIazy But Haaland isn't in Juve, is he? Stop assuming everything, Vlahovic fits in a certain team or system, so does Haaland. Also, even if Haaland did only score 20mgoals, it would still be more than Vlahovic.

@BIazybro put haaland in a team that is more of counter you’ll see Haaland real potential his average goals for Dortmund in a season was 40+ because of counter style by Dortmund and even in seria A he’ll become top scorer just because the play style of a team evolve by just having him a good through pass boom haaland is unstoppable

he’s a nonce that’s why

@@JibRuleshe and Ribery didn’t know she was underage, and the age of consent is 15 in France, she was under 18 so it was illegal for prostitution but he’s not a nonce, really like your vids but it’s not like he’s Gary Glitter.

That’s his name 🐐

@@JibRules Oliver watkins😂

Cristiano is too good to be mentioned amongst peasants

Dzeko is better then kane

Winger in my books

Yes, missed him- baller

Inzaghi on steroids

​@@JibRulestrue

All the strikers I mentioned could become world class and Isak is one of my favourites

They are idiots

OLIVIERRRR WATKINIIII

ITS TIME THE WORLD SUBSCRIBES

Wingerrrrr in my opinion

Why?

Then what is?

I AM AGEIST

He is winger not a proper striker the runs haaland made mbappe can never made but the passes and flics mbappe do haaland dream of that both are accurate at their own position but mbappe as a striker is downgrade to his lw position I don’t know why real Madrid is going for mbappe instead they should have gone for kane orr Haaland

ligue 1 quality is so underrated. and this is also a narrative story which also covers up just how aesthetic this convo is. Lacazzette is an elite striker with elite technique in ligue 1 but struggled in the prem. messi has worked well with other elite attackers but struggled to hit the heights in ligue 1. Not to mention the way elite strikers in the past played at a time when there was less goals per game on average, and the questions that are relevant about the quality of teams attacks and the utility of strikers, let alone what makes a striker elite looks different. I mean look at girouds amalgamated skillset and the season he is having -- he has for a long time clearly been elite in some aspects of striker play, link up, attracting defensive attention, headers and not others (pace, finishing big chances) yet he also has immense success and has played in elite attacks domestically and with france as a crucial cog.

I think a video about Ligue 1 strikers is necessary cause look at the likes of Laca and Auba who struggled in their latter years at arsenal but are thriving in the League so what does that say? Was the system they played at arsenal flawed or is Ligue 1 easy. Their top sides success in continental competitions this season would suggest otherwise
