How many of our lads

[realtarragona]

Domestically: Reina, Finnan, Carra, maybe Riise, Alonso, Gerrard

 

Globally: Gerrard, maybe Finnan (can't think of many world class right backs)

[surf]

Domestically maybe Gerrard?

[Maldini]

Domestically maybe Gerrard?

I think it's a case of poor grammar rather than poor judgement

Nice question!

 

Domestically: Reina, Carra, Finnan, Gerrard, Alonso.

Off the top of my head and in no particular order:

 

Domestically:

 

Reina (Cech, Given?)

Riise (Heinze, Del Horno?)

Carra (King, Terry?)

Finnan (none I can think of)

Gerrard (Alonso, Lampard?)

Alonso (Gerrard, Lampard?)

 

Globally

Gerrard (Xavi, Ballack, Alonso, Lampard

Alonso (Xavi, Ballack, Gerrard, Lampard

Finnan (I know I'm biased and a bit pissed but are there any stand outs...)

 

As regards goalies, one minute you're hot, then you're not. If we retain the European Cup, Reina will be considered a global keeper (until he lets one howler from which point he'll be known as 'dodgy keeper'.

Domestically: Reina, Finnan, Carragher (Hyypia?), Riise, Gerrard, Alonso

 

Globally: Gerrard

globally,

 

gerrard, carra, possibly alonso and fowler

[Keita]

Traore?

[Guz]

Gerrard, Alonso, Carra and Finnan for sure domestically. Not going to include Reina because he's only been here 6 months but made a solid start obviously.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Domestically - Gerrard, Carragher, Alonso, Reina, Finnan

Globally - Gerrard, Alonso

Whos better than carra worldwide then?

Whos better than carra worldwide then?

 

Puyol?

I'm struggling to think of anyone. For me, Carra is the best defender in the world. I wouldn't swap him for anyone. Same goes with Finnan.

 

Puyol?

 

Would you swap?

[nd]

Who's that much better than Kewell? At the moment Robben isn't really playing much better than him. Who else is there? Giggs? Reyes? Very arguable. I can't see why Kewell would be left out here. In fact potentially he should be up there on a world stage. There really aren't that many better left wingers in the world when he is on top form.

 

Problem is that he hasn't been on top form for about five years. But, yeah, he has the potential.

[Elisha_Scott]

Puyol?

 

Please tell me you are joking.

[Morgul]

Domestically: Gerrard, Alonso, Finnan, Carra, potentially Kewell

 

Globally: Gerrard for sure. Maybe Finnan and Carra. Kewell and Alonso have the potential

Agree, especially about Reyes. He is crap on the wing and was before he came to England. Whinger needs to either move him back to his own position or sell him.

No because he's an icon and brings more than just his performances on the pitch. I'm sure the Barca crowd would say the same in reverse.

 

There really aren't that many better left wingers in the world when he is on top form.

 

He hasn't been on top form for a few years now. His first few months with us were excellent but probably not top form when he was able to simply destroy a team single handedly in his prime at Leeds. He's no where near that at the moment despite his improvements.
