bratilda Kopite Posts: 2285 Registered: Oct 2006 | posted 27 February 2007 04:04 PM One rule: you can only pick one defining quality from each of our players from the squad's individual games (the ones we've seen enough of to comment).Reina - distribtion Jerzy - shot-stopping (instinctive anyway) Carson - shot-stopping Finnan - awareness Hyypia - aerial ability Agger - distribution Carragher - awareness (very tempted to put mentality but he only makes those last-ditch tackles because of his awareness - often his talents as a world-class centre-half are overlooked because of his personality) Riise - power Pennant - hmmmm, pace Garcia - trickery Gerrard - power Alonso - distribution Sissoko - work rate Zenden - distribution? Kewell - trickery Gonzales - pace Bellamy - pace Fowler - finishing prowess Kuyt - work rate Crouch - work rate

bratilda Kopite Posts: 2285 Registered: Oct 2006 | posted 27 February 2007 04:18 PM Damn wish I could have thought of more adjectives, my mind went blank  Finnan's crossing is amazing tbf - whenever he's got the ball I just know he'll whip over a dangerous cross, shame Andy Gray isn't as far up his ar$e as he is Ronaldo's  Yeah sure Ben - I couldn't think of any, all of yous adjectives are much better  [This message has been edited by bratilda (edited 27 February 2007).] IP: Logged |

bratilda Kopite Posts: 2285 Registered: Oct 2006 | posted 27 February 2007 06:48 PM Fan, I said BEST THING - is Jerzy's unpredicatbility really his strong point?  Agree with Reina's charisma - Carra says he's like an adopted scouser, I agree, can't understand him either He just shouts random words when he speaks in English! Only joking the scouse accent is very sexy  And Finnan's reliability, and Zenden's professionalism and 'qulaity play on the ground' for Crouch - that's what I was trying to say  Hmmmmm I need to learn some more adjectives *goes to read the dictionary* IP: Logged |

Not-Too-Xabi Kopite Posts: 203 Registered: Jun 2006 | posted 27 February 2007 07:10 PM mascherano - discipline.could have been so easy for him to try to be the hero on his debut. 4-0 up and did he do anything stupid.... no, just sat infront of the defence doing what he does best. IP: Logged |
bratilda Kopite Posts: 2285 Registered: Oct 2006 | posted 27 February 2007 07:11 PM Ah I know it's hard but you HAVE to pick the 1 best quality Stevie has, I said power because he has this phenomenal ability to burst into the box at just the right moment and once he's in his stride with the ball at his feet, no one can stop him. He is the ulitmate power-house midfielder raiding up and down the pitch and getting screamed at by Rafa to be more disciplined when he's in a 4-4-2 with an attacking player like Xabi. His aggression and desire to win is what makes him so special.

Fowi Kopite Posts: 4474 Registered: Mar 2003 | posted 27 February 2007 07:18 PM I dont find the topic interesting TBH. I mean what's the point of highlighting only ONE strong point per player? If you can explain that to me, other than it being fun, I will participate. IP: Logged |
