Not in my opinion.

I know several United fans who say the same, but he works very hard, chips in with a few goals and is incredibly unselfish. Plus he has an attitude and honesty that lady boy Ronaldo could only dream about. I'd rate Park.

I'd say he generates a small fortune in terms of revenue for United in Asia though. I always thought that was part of the reason they signed him.

He was a key part of the PSV (? one of the Dutch teams anyway) that Hiddink built. I remember him tearing Milan a new arsehole in the CL knockouts. He's not a key player for Man Utd, but it's not fair to write him off as a commercial buy.

yeah thats what i think too - i mean any time i see him play he is a stop gap, and when things get serious he is hauled off - and he is very weak (typical of asian players), he doesnt like the hard tackles

my logic is that centre backs are all about partnerships so Carragher and Vidic together would not work as there would be a lack of pace. As a result Carragher would be competing with Vidic and he is not as good as him.

Seconly Alonso would be competing with Scholes and Carrick and I do not think he is as good as either. He is a good player but not quite as good as Scholes or Carrick.

Mascherano is one dimensional and only works in a 3 man central midfielder where he can do the defensive job to perfection but is lacking when it comes to creating. As a result he gets found out when playing as a two in central midfield.

Gerrard and Torres would be good enough though.

alonso not as good as scholes or carrick

ah cop onto yourself hes twice the player carrick is and scholes is well over the hill

Liverpool like a man on speed this evening - irresistible going forward and all at a hundred miles an hour but when the buzz wears off, they are awful and a quivering mess.

It is probably over now - hard to see Man U drop enough points - however the big thing this evening is that Liverpool can afford to drop nothing else because Chelsea are within touching distance

Great entertainment but some dodgy defending

Arsenal are the best users of space I have seen in ages and I dont think I have ever seen as good a striker as Torres

have to give credit to liverpool all the same equalised very late once again to keep title hopes alive.. can still see utd dropping points a lot of tough games left yet and utd still not playing well ,, plus utd & chelsea still have to play arsenal who seem to be on a good run of form & also more of there first choice players due back from injury shortly

thank you Arshavin. You made my evening. His second goal was a thing of beauty.

reder · 22/04/2009, 8:44 AM

Some performance by Arshavin. His second was a cracker.

However, the league aint over by a long shot. Liverpool must win all their remaining games and the result last night will probably bring Chelsea back into the picture.

I am relieved at the thought that Liverpool can make the same mistakes in all of the remaining games and get away with it because none of the teams are good enough to take advantage.

Hull at the weekend will be a walkover. They are woeful and wouldnt beat the Liverpool academy team.

Arsenal didnt look too bothered last night, they were never really in the game. I suspect that they have more than one eye on the CL.

**Stuttgart88** · 22/04/2009, 9:00 AM

Arsenal should disguise Arshavin, make him look like Jack Wilshere or someone, and play him in the CL. Lovely to see a player so comfortable with both feet. I know it's a different standard but it's something I've not seen since Moravcik. Watching Luca Modric at the weekend, another small gifted "number 10", I was amazed at how totally one footed he is. Everything had to go on his right foot.

Torres is an amazing player.

dont be getting carried away with yourself ... liverpool have conceded 8 goals in last 2 games .. and they cannot afford any more mistakes in any remaining games hull may be woeful but they have nothing to lose ... as for academy pool team how many acadamey players have came through to first team in last year or 2 . good job arsenal were not to bothered last night as they might have tried to win game in stead of only drawing 4-4 .
