At the end of the day, I wouldn't want any dirty, contaminated, scummy, Manc in our team and I would not wish for any Red to be inflicted to have to wear a the filthy Manc Rag (Even Riise).

Says the monaghan man.


goalkeepers are close.
Gerard wouldn't lace scholes' boots.
Consecutive england managers haven't even rated cara in their best 4 centre halves.
i seriously thought ye were jokin abou mascherano. come on lads, he's ahacker.

Yeah because they proved what excellent International managers they were by making England into a World Class team...
Thats a ridiculous argument

And look how well they've done.


Seriously, soccer, as with most sports is full of opinions. I think Hargreaves is a useful player, but I also think Mascherano is just as good. Certainly Mascherano playing well is a very important player for Liverpool, and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Reina

Finnan
Carra
vidic
evra

CRonaldo
Gerrard
Scholes
Tevez

Rooney
Torres


I think Mascherano is way above Hargreaves but Scholes is better than both

That midfield would get eaten alive, a bit like Spurs under Ossie, "always going forward cause we can't fins reverse, star treking across the universe...."

Its not that long ago that Hargreaves was being berated from all quarters before England went to the World Cup..Their was people laughing at the thought of him even being in the England squad..Then because he had a half decent World Cup..which wasn't hard really as i'd have looked good in that England squad suddenly he is a World class player...
I don't see it myself really i think United payed way too much for a player who is no more than above average..certainly not in the same class as Masherano

In fairness to Hargreaves that was because he was constantly played out of position in fullback, and cos he was a bit of a johnny foreigner. The media jumped on his back and that was it.
I thought he was a very good player when I saw him for Bayern, and was hoping united wouldnt buy him and persist with carrick instead. He is a very good player in my view, unfortunately.

Yeah maybe...
Who would you drop and replace with who?

[bingobus]

Simple put Masch in for Scholes  put Scholes in for Gerrard (although he is nearing the end of a great career) and put Gerrard in for Tevez on the right. Tevez can warm the bench with Kuyt, Voronin and David May.

[supersarsfields]

Cant play Scholes and Gerrard so it's bye bye Scholes and in with Masch/Alonso/Hargreaves.

No argument regarding Carra v Donkey or Hargreaves v Masch maybe Neville v Finnan could be argued alright

[stevo-08]

No argument regarding Carra v Donkey....

you're right, dont know why i suggested otherwise......

[Uladh]

There we have it. had sven and the rest picked carragher in front of rio, who has been on team of the tournament in the last three major finals, they'd have won.

explains a lot when you look at some of the scouse tinted teams i'm seeing above!

[Minder]

Have we not been down this road a few weeks ago arguing about who would get on a "bst of XI"....? Its pointless.
