What do you prefer? [Old Thread Revisited]

[perspolees]

After watching Kia mistakeless but highlight-less in German Cup, I started thinking about eg. Kaebi would have done instead. He surely would have made more mistakes than the very experienced but cautious Kia, but he would have had several outstanding scenes as well - decisive scenes, positively as well as negatively.

Now I wonder what you think is better. 2 players with roughly the same quality, but one solid without any ups and downs, no blunders but no or very little risk, or a player with great scenes but also more blunders at the same time?

Is one better than the other? Is there a mix needed? And does it depend on the position as well?

Please share your thoughts. Rather generally and not directly about Kaebi vs. Kia, but you can talk about that as well if you feel the strong urge to do so.

Very surprized to see this kind of comparisons from you!!?

cant do would have should have this or that...

I would like a mobali had he moved to germany and would have played and could have impressed!!

facts are facts...Kia is Kia and has been playing in one of the respectable leagues of Europe, Kaabi sucked in second diivision EPL, was lacklustre in Arabia, and now we are saying this could have would have ...

I have one better for you my friend, now that we are dreaming and hypothesizing my choice would have been:
Ronaldo had he been naturalized

apples and apples, oranges with oranges..kaabi needs to first show if he can play in Bundesliga then we compare the two

But Kaebi is a player taking more risks these days. Over the whole 80 minutes Kia played, he actively went into an offensive duel one single time. When was the last time Kaebi, as a rightback, only tried to dribble or get past an opponent only once within 80 minutes?

On the other hand Kia had about 2 or 3 turnovers (including crosses being headed out by defenders) over the whole match, I guess noone would argue Kaebi would not be able to do that.

I didn't watch Kia's game so I can't comment on it, but I am curious, what does "kaabi is taking more chances these days" have to do with professional football?

This is a difficult question.

Obviously, the best of both worlds would be ideal, but I'd personally rather have consistency, especially in the stressful environment of World Cup Qualifying.

Last 2 lines would have been enough. Don't get so emotional, we all love Kia.

I wasn't talking about love here..

I was talking about the continuous use of the words Kia and Kaabi in the same sentences and the presumption that Kaabi would have done this or that if he were playing in Frankfurt instead of Kia...

how do you know Kaabi would have had several Outstanding scenes?

Two players with roughly the same qualities?? Ok, if you say so..

when was the last outstanding scene by Kaabi?? The kick in the face of Figo??

yes, kia isn't doing great, but Let's see where Kaabi will be playing when he is 31.....

Oh by the way, what position did Kia play today??

and as to your question as to what I would prefer, well, that's pretty easy.. I take the consistent player, because I know what I get out of him.. and I am not talking about Kia Vs Kaabi here , I am talking about consistency Vs, unpredictability..
