Fack off Hodgson

Wilshere would have done a better job than Gerrard. Gerrard is not a deep midfield player. All he had to do keep it simple and allow his defenders to drop deep. That way he can received the ball and distribute it up the field. Instead the defenders are pushed up because he is vacating his position. Then he heads the ball back completely blind to where they were positioned, terrible midfield play.

It isn't just our midfield pairing. It's everyone. It's how we are coached. By managers and peers. "CLEAR IT" "GET IT OUT" "OOUUUTT!" These are heard at any Sunday league game anywhere in the country, kids, adults, premier league. I know it is a bit trendy to say so, but it really is true. Looking up, finding a pass are not things that come naturally to our players. In defense, when under any pressure, leather it. That is the accepted knowledge in england.

Barry should have made the team. Hell, he'd have deserved it more than Wilshere after the season he had.

So true. Keeping possession and simple is an anathema.

The game has changed but we haven't changed with it. Thats why we have been left behind even by tiny countries like Uruguay, Croatia, Switzerland and so on.

-----------------------------------------------

Is this a joke? Wilshere even with a DM partner is sloppy and defensively poor. How much more if he had to be THE DM himself. It would be a catastrophe. The only viable option other than Gerrard was Barry. Wilshere never deserved to start in that team.

Wilshere might not 'deserve' to be in the team cos of injuries and a general lack of form, but he's obviously ten times the player workhorses like Gerrard and Henderson are. You pick players based on how ability/quality, form is temporary, class is permanent.

Barry or Hudd certainly would have performed better than Gerrard, who was by far our worst player. But it wouldn't have mattered, we would still have lnocked it long and given the ball away.

I lost respect for Sheriff ever since he said Gerrard > Cazorla, which is honestly one of the worst things I've witnessed on this site

he's a spas.tic Analog, he says ret.arded things like that on a daily basis

he bums like Tiote and Cattermole, he probably thinks they're better than Pirlo

Spot on Kam. And no one is asking anyone to be spectacular in that position. Keep hold of the ball and allow your center backs to take their position from you. Don't go charging forward pulling them up the field and then blindly heading the ball back when you have no idea where they are!

No one plays the high press on distributing players at International level. Otherwise Pirlo wouldn't playing so brilliantly at 35 in 31c and high humidity!

Hi my name is Sheriff.

I think Lee Cattermole > Ramsey because I'm neutral and unbiased.

Thoroughly supid comment. Wilshere couldn't lace Gerrard's boots. And Henderson is currently the better player. Except among delusional Arsenal fans.

I remember when you said Ashley Young is better than Fio.

Like I said, nothing you say can be taken seriously.

I'm gonna cry myse to sleep over the loss of your valuable respect. Can you stick to the topic rather than looking for a back-and-forth? Pathetic that most people here can't stick to a topic. Must have serious attention deficit issues in school.

amazing it's taken you this long to realise Analog. he comes up with things like that regularly. I don't know if he's mentally ill or just attention seeking

----------------------------------------

Maybe because Ashley Young was actually better than Walcott up until 2012. Again, can you stick to your topic? It's not about Ashley Young but your pointless article which you've stopped debating cos your points were just ramblings with no substance.

Craig Garder or Ramsey, Sheriff?

Have you actually made a point here with an actual stated opinion rather than seeking my attention like a sad loser. Didn't figure you out to be one but you learn something new everyday. So.....again..care to actually state an OPINION?

OUUUUUT!!
AWAAAAAY!
GET IT OUUUT!!
CLEAR ITTTT!!
GET RID OF ITTT!!

Hoof it, lamp it, leather it, put your foot through it, knock it long, send it.

Do you think any other countries have this many different words to describe a long ball? I seriously doubt it.

Pirlo schooled gerrard in 2005!!! Wtf....swear I saw gerrard score a goal, change the dynamic of the whole game and get a penalty...then play rb to stop milans winger!!!

Pirlo.....3-0 up and went to pieces didnt he??? It can be argued thatbyhat game shows gerrards qualities more than any other; interestingly vs pirlo....didnt gerrard win the dual??
