Cool Best midfield in the World

Time for Rafa to power up midfield - Liverpool - TEAMtalk Football News

Sissoko back soon. time to go 3-5-2.

"Yet soon - with three world-class central midfielders at his disposal, and one being the finest on planet football - Benitez has the chance to engineer the perfect battleplan.

Unleash them all and thereby wreak havoc as the Reds mount a powerful assault for silverware at home and abroad."

ha ha, sometimes feels like it.

anyone name a better one? sissoko will soon be better than viera as defensive midfielder, alonso one of the best midfield ball players and I dont need to say anything about Gerrard do I ?

cmon rafa, play 3 at the back with 2 wing backs, 3 in midfield and 2 up. Will destroy everything in sight.

Sissoko is a liability. He'll be banned more than he plays.

That was exactly my thought. All overrated but only by pool fans - everyone else knows they aint all that. Now Im just waiting for the "but check out our history, 18 league titles bla bla" line to make its way into this thread

yawn, what have I walked into exactly ? I can see where the dreamers are, those that are still thinking about a B rated cup match 3 weeks ago.

and technically speaking, they did not stick 9 past us.

Claude Makelele has been the best defensive midfield in the world for the last 10 years no other player has in football got a position on the field named after him (the makelele role).

edited to say Real Madrid have won nothing since he left.

Woh there since when have we been able to qoute stats on here? every time i or ash mention about numbers i:e trophys won. you all spit your dummies out. Alonso is the best passer of the ball in the prem by far, fabrigas mainly passes short and does little one two,s he does not spread play or switch sides consistantly throughout a game. As for this 'makelele' role i,ve never heard it called that ever, even didi hamman was a better player than him and i,m sure the reason real madrid have won nothing the last few years has sod all to do with it as the motto is to just score one more than the opposition no matter how many they concede.

Real Madrid situation might have something to do with changing managers twice a season ? or maybe 10 other players on the pitch ?

Nice stats for Cesc, sadly lacking in goal contributions though.

Moneys - good point, no mention of the past from us on here, its usually from those who can't stomach it.

Ithink Liverpool have a couple of decent Midfielders, Alonso being one and Gerrard the other, we were discussing Liverpool in the pub yesterday and considered opinion of most was Rafa has bought a lot of crap and apart from Gerrard no one shows any sort of consistency, again we blamed Benitez for this !
