"I see it already, Xavi laughing in his mind standing in front of Parker with the refs before the game thinking, ‘Who is he?’”
Ryan Babel after Scott Parker was handed the England armband
Michael Carrick the 3rd most complete central midfielder in the world. Still eh?!
Carrick is an average player.
England should play 4-3-3 with Gerrard as the AM and Milner and Wilshere as the CM's. As Wilshere is not fit then I would play Rodwell.
----------------------Hart------------------
---Johnson-----Jones----Lescott------Baines---
------------Milner-------Wilshere-------------
-------------------Gerrard--------------------
---------Sturridge--Rooney------Young--------
Milner has impressed me this season for City. His work rate, work ethic and energy plus his dynamism in the middle is a perfect match for the craft, skill, passing and vision of Wilshere.
Although I do see Rodwell and Wilshere as the future central midfield - but Rodwell needs to leave Everton asap so he can develop better and a better club.
Gareth Bale is 100000 times more overrated than Parker. Last year they were comparing him to Messi, and now even he's believing his own hype. Spurs gave him the free role and he does no tracking back and sulks like a spoilt brat. He needs to remember that he's just a sprinter with ONE trick (kick the ball away and run after it)
Spurs fan: "People who don't appreciate Scott Parker, the position he plays (as invented by Claude Makelele) and his role in a football team know nothing about the sport."
jesus christ talk about overrating a player
Are the English really believing Makelele invented that role?
everything has been invented in england.
i remember the arsenal fans said before the 09/10 CL game with barcelona that arsenal invented the passing game and barcelona are just copying them
No idea why this thread is here but Parker is bloody rubbish and sums up everything that is wrong with English football.
