I go post when I get time .

Tsk! Tsk!!!

Gerrard plays both roles(midfield & support striker). No

And where has it taken Liverpool to?
This is their 4th season without a single title and yet y'all blinkered fans cream yourselves all over him.
Alonso left for Madrid, if Gerrard is such a great midfielder. . . . .why can't he partner Mascherano in Liverpool's midfield and get things on track?
Liverpool fans are waiting for a washed-up Aquilani to save their season.   How great is Stevie G??

Kai na so your hate reach? . Whether you like it or not Gerrard is Class!!!

He is a great player but he is not world class.

IMO, Overrated is the wrong word. Overhyped fits the bill better.

Overhyped, over-rated, over-estimated.
It's all the same thang!!!!

Owen Hagreaves is 50 times better than Gerrard . Btw,Gerrard is not only the player guilty of being a media boy.

He is the only media boy with no league title to his name.
Cesc is gradually following his foot-steps but Cesc didn't get his league debut in 1998 like Gerrard.
How can you be a world class player without a league title in ELEVEN YEARS??

Cesc is world class but no starting shirt for country, No league title.

World class must mean something else.

My Definition Of A World Class Footballer Is :

A Player Who Is One Of The Very Best(Not Necessarily The Best) In His Position In The World @ A Particular Time.

Cesc Fabregas is better than all players in the bundesliga

Yet he can't start for his national team. You are a talented Comedian you know

Fabregas starts MANY games for spain. U can run to wikipedia(ur sacred haven since ur too daft to debate anything) and look up his stats. He must have started at least 60% of spain's games in the last year.
Also, he plays for a country that boasts of the best central midfielders in the whole world. Xabi Alonso plays even less games than he does and i dont think Arteta(a player who Sauron claims is better than Gerrard) has ever been called up, let alone winning a cap. That tells the story.
Afterall, inferior players like mikel, barry, maoutinho, veloso, ballack, etc start more games for their cnuntries.
If Cesc was from any other country in the world, his name would be the first on the team sheet.

Which games do Fab start? too much of PS3 is bad.

^^lol, no mind am jare

Lampard, in short every member of the 3 lions.

England = Super eagles of europe. Bunch of over rated players. VP < TONI OR klose cos the world cup counts. They have achieved better than VP in all aspects. EPL is just about hype.

Dayokanu
if ur disputing the FACT that cesc starts games for spain then u obviously should be quarantined in another galaxy.

Binginya
so we can also say klose is better than torres cos he's achieved more than him?

Nairaland is full of lunatics.

@tayoccu
You wan kill person
I don laugh, spill my drink everywhere

wetin I do nah?
I was just trying to help a brodah man

Can you now compare the 2 strikers now?

;d

Wow! see history,

Well Torres is still a world class striker as well as RVP.
Just that chelsea dont know how to utilise its wings.

^^ Chelsea doesnt know how to, Spain too doesnt know how to abi?

funny how the world of football can be.

not even one soul disputed van persie was better than torres when this thread was made. . . .
but if we ask the same set of fans now, they would say robin van persie is 500 times better.

torres would shine again without a doubt.
he joined the wrong club and he's currently in a spanish set-up that is even slower than chelsea.
both spain and chelsea don't use width!

^^ First comment:

Can't authoritatively say, but i'd pick "Little" Bergkamp, he scores freekicks too.

RvP has ALWAYS had more ability than Torres, na today?

ritchboy:

^^ First comment:

except that you were alive as at the time this comment was made and you made no argument to back van persie then.
the christino that made that first comment did out of club patriotism, he couldn't have meant it.

dayokanu actually said van persie should be compared to nicklas bendtner.
it's funny how the football world changes.

one of these days, torres is going to make y'all swallow the vomitus.

For RvP he had the advantage of being young and was always injured

fernadud Torres would be 28 in less than 3 weeks, He has been a failure for both club and country for close to 2 years

yet more brain-farts from dayokanu. i have counted about 20 in the past week.
so you mean torres has never been injured in his career? this boy's intelligence keeps vaporising.

dayo telling us van persie is young yet van persie is older than torres.
torres would be 28 in less than 3 weeks, van persie clocked 28 in the summer of last year.

i reiterate, you should donate your brains to the apes.
goof merchant!

Surely your teachers should be given the Ibori treatment.

How old was van perfie when he was in sixes and seves? definitely not 28

dayokanu:

the phaggot cannot even type correctly now that the heat is on him.
how old was van persie when he was scoring low figures? what did i tell you about player development trajectories?

strikers have different peaks n troughs in their development.
you are too intellectually lazy to process this fact. that van persie scored 6s/7s in his early/mid-20s does not mean every striker would follow suit.

You are expected to use your brain to process issues and not be spoon fed There is no one here who wont understand what I was posting

dayokanu:

i don't.
van persie was 27 before he could score a dozen league goals. . . .
and your poor excuse was he's young and he's perptually injured?

27 yrs?
let's be honest - you are a cretinous twit.
how can you open your mouth and argue like this in public?

I expect normal humans to understand not those with IQ in on the left side on the number line

dayokanu:

dayo has resorted to ebonics. . . .

dayokanu telling us van persie is younger than torres.
what a shame!

read your statement again. . .

dayokanu:
For RvP he had the advantage of being young and was always injured
fernadud Torres would be 28 in less than 3 weeks, He has been a failure for both club and country for close to 2 years

you know nothing about football - instead of you to admit your goof, you are busy scraping the barrel.
you opined van persie had the advantage of being young and was also injured. . . . .and torres wld be 28 in 3 weeks. . .

who clocked 28 first? van persie.
at what age is van persie delivering top quality football? 28.
if van persie can do it at 28 yrs of age going to 29 - what stops torres from replicating such form at 28/29?

mr dayokanu, stop scraping the barrel.
your moronic self thought torres was older than rvp until i brought you back to life.
i have told you to start pubic hair plaiting instead of discussing football.

Well There is little one can do about your situation

Everyone who read my statement understood what I meant that RvP when he was in doldrums was young and younger players have the better chance of recovery from bad form than older players

I cant help you with analytical reasoning at your age
