LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Loved that youtube clip.. loved how he got Kaka yellow carded at the end of it !!

I'm not a fan of Poulsen at all.. but if he can play man marking like that.. there's a player or two that we'd require his services against
For Kuyt, yes he delivers the occasional good cross.. but that's not the job of a good winger.. occasional isn't the acceptable rate we should be looking for here.. especially if the majority here are preferring a 4-2-3-1 as opposing to a 4-4-2.. we rarely have an action packed penalty area like say Utd who always jam the area when they are on the attack.. which if u ask me puts their opponents' defenses at unrest.. and they always have 2 strikers.. whenever the Slur tried to sway away from that, he got hit in the nuts..
For Gerrard, I believe his performance in the 1st half against Hungary was stale.. but so was the whole English side.. Rooney was more interested in getting pissed and shouting at the ref than playing.. and there weren't many real chances.. Lampard was invisible!.. but his whole performance in the 2nd half was excellent (Gerrard).. other than the 2 excellent goals.. his passing and movement..
I'm with playing him as a CM.. provided we have proper players on the flanks.. if we want to play Joe Cole as a behind-the-striker(s) type of player that is.. he's always been more of a wingerish player..
I don't want to comment much about the formations.. cuz a lot still depends on the Mascherano deal.. if he goes.. for how much.. and will Cavalieri go too if Brad Jones is coming? will SWP come in? who else? how will we use the Masch cash? after all the wheeling and dealing.. we could tell.. but I can still see Torres all alone up there.. Pardon me, but Ngog is just filling a gap! unless Roy wants Kuyt as a forward..
