mkirby Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 we have 3 world class players if you include jamie carragher he is good and used to be very good, not world class but the end of last season and this season he has looked slow and along with hypia you have no pace in your central defence, for the first time this season i have seen loads of mistakes by carragher which is mainly down to not enough pace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Yep, an 'Olympian' performance/result required i doubt they will win in tuesday as inter as possibly the strongest side in the champions league, there walking serie A and i would hae thought they will make the final Sadly I have to agree with you both, I'll be watching it, only I think I'll be screaming at the telly more than I usually do, it's quite sad as I always tend to have a positive feeling coming up to matches like this, but I can't see how we can lose to Barnsley on a Saturday, and then expect to bear Inter less than a week later...

mkirby Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 i must admit i was seriously worried on saturday and when i saw the team with no ronaldo, scholes, hargeaves etc i thought i shite but rooney was amazing, really showed a masterclass in bossing a defence, just a shame he didnt get more goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And I know LFC aren't much better) yeh one thing i do like about fergie is he like to buy british if possible, then again you have to take your hat off to wenger, he can sniff out talent in an african bush village quicker than dawn french can eat a chacolate orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His scout would say look at the skill that lad has and Arsene would we reply "I did nots zee it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Just adding that Jamie Carragher is a world class defender, as John Terry even said last week, he's been the best defender in Europe for the last couple of years! Not technically brilliant on the ball but defender's don't have to be to be world class at what they do - defending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaveriK Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Carragher went down in my opinion when he threw his toys out of the pram about not being picked for England or playing in the wrong position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not technically brilliant on the ball but defender's don't have to be to be world class at what they do - defending. dont agree, ive seen him this year give away silly pens and should have had at least 3 or 4 other pens given against him due to his lack of pace and bringing people down, its a shame as his footballing brain is still there which has always been very good (not world class ) but its an area that you need to invest in, you have 2 ageing centre halves and in todays game they need to be so much more. anyway even if you classed him as world class thats only 3 players you could put in that bracket and with all the money rafa has spent over the last few seasons you should have at least 5 or 6 to challange at the top. sad i know being a man utd fan but i think its a shame not seeing them fighting at the top, i remember as a kid staying up watching souness and co in the 80's in the european cup etc now that was a world class team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
