Stop being an oaf.
A team down to 10 men playing away from home in a hostile ground like Anfield are going to be defending with their lives.
Most times, Ronaldo gets sacrificed in em games to put an extra defender to protect United's lead.
THINK!!!!



Poor Ronaldo, the lad can't be bothered with defensive duties, eh?

So you will choose Steven ahead of Essiential ingridient
Re: Most Overated Player In The Premier League by Markos23: 3:53pm On Mar 29, 2009
Adebayor is certainly the most overrated player. I can't believe AC Milan want to pay 30 million for him. He misses the easiest of chances and then keeps smiling.

Kirk Phinney.

how is Gerrard overrated?
the only position I haven't seen the guy play is goalkeeper.
so for a guy with such talent, he is waaaaayyyyyyy underrated.

U dunno your football. . . . .
Gerrard is English, Essien is an African.
If Gerrard possesses 40% of Essien's talents, he woulda won the FIFA Player Of The Year.


pls lets stop this anti-Liverppol sentiments . . .Gerrard is better than any other English player still playing by miles . . .
who is Rooney when GERRARD is being mentioned ?

Rooney compared to Gerrard?? Are you okay at all??
Wazza is 500 times better than Gerrard in so many ways.
I can bring out Capello's assessment on the 2 players.
He has told the media time n time again Rooney is the first player on his team list anytime anyday.


do u think he was given MBE for nothing ?

Politics!!! If he's that good, he shoulda won a league title in all these years.


give the boy his dude   . . .HE IS A PHENOMENON

English hype. Media boy. Poster boy.


even in Ghana, Appiah comes before Essien, yes or no ?  undecided

In Arsenal, Bendtner comes before Adebayor. . . . .That is what you sound like now.

reacting so passionately to ur applesauce is such a big wate of time tongue

isnt the same u that said Torres is the best striker in Europe but cos u are/were still suffering from Scouse-fest u now turn round to say Villa is better . . .na wao

Appiah is seen as the heartbeat of the team . . .are u douting that ? doesnt that sound to u like and OKOCHA AND KANU thing ? undecided undecided

Rooney better than Gerrard in Capello's assessment ? PROOF PLS !!!

But you saw the 2 of em at Euro 2008. . . . .Who was the better player??
David Villa is better than Torres. Liverpool fans will tell you this anytime anyday.
They wanted Rafa to buy him some weeks back cos they know Villa is the most clinical striker in Europe.
He was a decent workrate. . . . .He is a Rooney + Torres combo(football brain and devastating finishing).


Appiah is seen as the heartbeat of the team . . .are u douting that ? doesnt that sound to u like and OKOCHA AND KANU thing ? undecided undecided

Appiah ke?? Essien is the essential recipe. . . .
Without Essien in any team, that team will SUFFER.

Fabio Capello sees Wayne Rooney as a future England captain but says the striker still needs to develop a killer instinct in front of goal.
The England coach recognises Rooney as the 'most talented' player in his squad and someone he rates 'a natural leader'
Click HERE


Fabio Capello has demanded that Wayne Rooney improve his finishing. The England manager agrees that the attacker is the team's most talented player but says his reliability is a concern. Rooney went more than three years without a goal for his country in a competitive fixture, between the Euro 2004 quarter-final against Portugal and a qualifier against Estonia in October 2007, and operating as a lone striker he did not score in the recent friendlies with Switzerland and France.

Its just a means of stoking his fire!! Coaches use that technique all the time or who else should Capello motivate? an always injured Michael Owen

He is good, but not that good!

To all those who feel Gerrard is overrated.

This is a quote from Kaka. One time world footballer of the year corroborating another ersthwile world footballer of the year

“If I had to choose three, I would pick Cristiano Ronaldo, because of his skill and speed; Messi, because of his flair and skills; and Steven Gerrard, who for me is the complete modern player.”


If Gerrard is a complete modern day player, i wonder why some people think hes overrated.

I agree with Kaka, hes one of the few very talented footballers we can find around. same for CR7 and Messi

fanstastic players ill love to have in my team.

imagine these combo pf first Xi

1) Cech
2) Maicon
3) Evra
4) Mascherano
5) Vida
6) carvalho
7) CR7
coolBenzema
9) Torres
10)Messi
11)Ribery

This team will kill any team for decades!!!

Excellent squad. BUT I'm not too sure about Evra on current form. I'll take Carragher over Carvalho (maybe i'm biased) and I'd play Gerrard over Benzema behind Torres as he prefers being a lone striker as it offers him more space to exploit.
Re: Most Overated Player In The Premier League by Dotman01(m): 11:10am On Apr 01, 2009
Excellent squad but if u no get a world class coach, nd u put someone lyk big sam ? U go dey fight 4 relegatn be dat grin

TKB, How come Gerrard is not in your team
Re: Most Overated Player In The Premier League by Akolawole(m): 2:23pm On Apr 01, 2009
@Dr Kit

How best is Steven G?

He is playing twin-position.Midfield and supporting striker.

1) Is he the best midfielder in england?

2) Is he the best sub-striker in England?

Just tell me yes or no.
Re: Most Overated Player In The Premier League by tkb417(m): 2:30pm On Apr 01, 2009
Dayo

Etoo, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Klose, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Iniesta, Xavi, Asharvin and other world class players are not in my team
I cant put everbody in ma team

I didnt want to use Gerrard as a support striker cos Benzema is ma player anytime anyday

     Torres, Benzema                 (Gerrard as sub)
Ribery, Masch, Messi, CR7

Thats the killer attack/midfield

Tocdee
u prefer carragher to Carlvalho? God forbid!!
Carlvalho is one of the best around.

Evra? i dunno who else to put. Evra to me is berra than clichy, cole, Abidal and co
Re: Most Overated Player In The Premier League by Ibime(m): 2:32pm On Apr 01, 2009
How can you put Benzema or Gerrard as support striker ahead of Kaka?
Re: Most Overated Player In The Premier League by tkb417(m): 3:23pm On Apr 01, 2009

I prefer Benzema and Torres
na by force? grin

Henry played many roles for Arsenal.
In the season Arsenal got to the final of the Champions League, Henry was deployed as an out n out/lone striker.
I dunno why u drew this analogy but Henry was never the best striker in Europe throughout his stay at Arsenal.


GERRARD IS A DEMI-GOD !!! cool

Then how did he win the European Golden Shoe back to back in 2003-2004 and 2004-2005?

2003/4, Shevchenko was better than Henry then. Forget the goals scored in the domestic league.
Henry had the advantage of freekicks and penalty kicks. . . . . .Something most strikers don't have in their clubs.


2004/5, Diego Forlan, Samuel Etoo were better than him.
