Biased though I certainly am, I don't think that's right. Goals are not the only measure of quality, maybe not even the most important one in a midfield player. To take just one example: with Lampard in for Gerrard we would have lost in Istanbul.
That sorts is then!I think Rafa had this right when questioned on it a few years ago. I thought it was an outstanding response at the time and it's just as relevant today.
He told the journo that Lampard was a wonderful midfielder - as was Gerrard. They are both world class and wouldn't look out of place in any team. But, he went on, I could play Gerrard at DM and he would be world class, I could play him on the wing and he would be world class, I could play him at RB and he would be world class - in fact, I have.
More Chelsea loving shenanigans on SCM! Bunch of judases!
Call in our very own Joe McCarthy to purify the boards: Silver Sean!
It's not Chelsea loving. Singling out one or two players is hardly a crime.
How many were pens though? Its almost special teams having him in the squad
I suspect his post was tongue in cheek.
Not really. No.
I read somewhere that he's scored 47 penalties. That's a quarter of his goals doing something that the tea lady could do.
I don't rate him, I think he's been a luxury player in chelsea teams that have had great midfields to cover for him. I don't think he'd have done it elsewhere. And he's never done a fucking thing in an England shirt.
His post wasn't tongue in cheek?
Sorry John. I read your post arseways. I read "his" as "this". I was assuming you were referring to my post.
Yeah, any cunt can score 47 pens
