I'm not having that, but it's only my opinionKippaxCitizen said:Between 2002-2007 only Zidane Kaka and possibly Nedved were better than him in his position in the world. He was a great player in that time. Since about 2009 he's been way off that level, a shadow of that early 20s player. That may cause people to think that he's only a 'good' player (I think he's been poor this season) but ten years ago he was elite.squirtyflower said:A good player, sometimes very good, but not great80s Shorts said:Great player whether you think he is a twat or not.
His tactical awareness, his positioning and his role discipline are all poor. His pace and power got him out of trouble, sometimes. That's why he's not a great player, never mind put in the same sentence as those guys.
There's a reason Benitez shunted him out to the right and away from having to make important on field decisions
