There are some attributes in footballers that can be judged regardless of the level they play at. Nakamura's vision and off the ball movement is brilliant and pretty much irrelevent to the opposition.Quote:

Yeah like who? Which strikers who were good in the Premier League failed in Scotland? Even Championship strikers tend to do well in the SPL.Quote:

Wright-Phillips is a winger, Ireland only played there last week because there was no other options available. SWP is a bigger threat to Etuhu if anyone. At the moment, Johson is Ireland's biggest threat. But I'd still expect SI to play this weekend
Wasn't he on the right for most of last season though? I can't see him starting ahead of Johnson to be honest.Quote:

Irealnd's on great form. A great pass, run down the wing, into the box and cut back last week and involved throughout.
Pity he is such a gobsh!te with a Cork temprement.
He is a great threat on the right, his goal (v Slovakia) came from him attacking from the right.
We could obviuosly do with him back in the side. The only problem is that we have too many similar attack minded midfielders.
Starting on the left today VS Sunderland, with SWP on the right. Surprised to see Petrov dropped for him to be honest
In my opinion, Ireland has more talent than Johson, but he has better physical attributes for the middle of the park.
Tardelli doesnt know why he is refusing to return...

Maybe he's holding out for his father's country? ;) :rolleyes:
What a ****.
:ball: PP
he said he could have played for italy? can somebody tell me if this is true or just his usual ****e?
Why cant they just give up on this bloke, he does not want to play for us and that's it.I have never seen so much effort by top fai people trying to convince someone into doing something he clearly does not want to do. Why can’t they just call up players like Lawrence and St Ledger? These guys would jump at the chance to represent their country and would play with their hearts on their sleeves.
I think Petrov is injured. It will be interesting to see how Hughes arranges that midfield with SWP the most likely candidate for right midfield. I make a 5 man midfield of SWP-Elano-Johnson-Kompany-Petrov as the most likely line-up. Can't see where Ireland is going to fit in.Quote:

some game again today
Doubt it very much. Elano is a class or two above Ireland.Quote:
