I think for pure peak performance I take DDG...Ddg vs Van der Sar
Nani or Arshavin?
Easily? Interesting.Arshavin, easily for me.
Easily? Interesting.
I mean Nani’s entire 10/11 season. I can see an argument for either guys but I wouldn’t say it’s easily either way.With his Euro performance and that in the Uefa Cup, did Nani really match that?
Sneijder for me. His 2010 season is one of, if not the best season outside of Messi Ronaldo of the last 20 years.Glad we all ignored Sneijder vs. Modric
Ronaldinho for me, he's one of the best footballers of all time whereas Neymar is just one of the best footballers of this generation of players. Both players are highly skilled 1v1 dribblers so I really liked the comparison.Eto'o over Drogba, for sure. Ronaldinho or Neymar?
Didn't see too much of either of them, but I think I would take Blanc. He was a CB that played like a BxB bloke lol, but he absolutely had the skill to do it!Kaka's performance at United?
And Messi vs Iniesta?
Come on no contest.
Blanc vs Desailly.
Sneijder was nothing if not a big game player. I've never seen Modric carry a team in a big game the way Sneijder did at his peak, but they're kind of different players.I would argue Modric is one of the best ever in big games. You got players who just don't seem to care about pressure, but not all of those are able to combine that with this heightened "focus" when it really matters. Modric could and can. I think Iniesta is another (as mentioned by others).
I loved that Sneijder, but for me that easily Modric.
It really is too bad that Sneijder was so lazy; he could have been an ATG with some real work ethic. One of the greatest travesties IMO is that he didn't win the Ballon d'Or that year but then they gave one to Modric who was less influential. Keep in mind, I'm not saying that he is or was better than Messi or Ronaldo, but he certainly deserved it that year...that he didn't even finish top 3 is an absolute farce.Sneijder for me.

He’s not far from being an ATG as it is. His 2010 WC has always stood out to me as far as performances go. Just seemed to be a masterclass every single game.It really is too bad that Sneijder was so lazy; he could have been an ATG with some real work ethic.

I'm biased though; he's my all time favourite player.

Modrić was instrumental, but so was Rakitić. Not much separated the two in the midfield although Modrić collected all the awards.
