    I'll start.

    Jonny Evans is one of the worst defenders in the Premier league.

    Lindegaard is a much better keeper than de Gea.

    Giggs should have retired at the end of last season.

    Emile Heskey requires the slightest bit of attention from opposing defenders.

    That Jack Rodwell's real position is at center back. I'd say he's played 100 senior games for Everton and never once has he been at center back.

    They should give him a run there. It's his real position, imo.

    Berbatov is lazy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭EdenHazard


    Clichy(at arsenal anyway) people had this perception he was an attacking fullback who couldn't defend, in truth it was opposite way round

    Berbatov is lazy

    Rafael is not good enough

    Carrick is terrible

    Vidic sucks v Torres

    De Gea is crap

    Welbeck is average at best

    Hernandez is a great footballer

    Nani is an overrated donkey

    Lindegaard is a great goalkeeper, much better then De Gea

    Loads really

    For some other ones I have noticed

    Liverpool : Lucas isnt very good
    Arsenal: Koscielny is a terrible defender
    Chelsea: Torres is ****e
    City: Adam Johnson should be starting every game

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,224 ✭✭✭✭Marty McFly


    Koscielny is crap or average, hes been one of Arsenals stand out performers this season a top class defender.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,521 ✭✭✭Giggsy11


    Evans is crap defender.

    Carrick is average at best.

    Park was brought only to boost ManUtd shirt sales in Asia.

    That Andy Carroll was expected to live up to his pricetag, and that we 'could have bought Aguero for that money'.

    That Charlie Adam takes good corners.

    That Jordan Henderson cost over £20m.

    That Suarez called Evra 'a negro', and that he admitted to saying it seven times.

    That Craig Bellamy should play every match.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭abouttobebanned


    Im pretty sure that some people are getting a bit confused by the thread title.

    Yeah I'm pretty confused at this stage. Are people declaring things that aren't true or are?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,201 ✭✭✭Sappy404


    :confused:

    It's a list of things people think are true that aren't. Some of them are based on opinion rather than fact, I'll admit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    - Liverpool are a better team without Gerrard (Don't know if it's a general perception but I've heard it said.)

    - Henderson has been a flop (He's 21 and while he had a very anonymous start and often went missing, he has shown glimpses of quality and had some decent performances to suggest there is potential there.) Judge him 2 years from now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭POKERKING


    Adam Johnson should play every game.

    Gareth Barry is a poor player.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,397 ✭✭✭Paparazzo


    Milos Krasic is good.
    Was going to post the same thing! Hopefully we cash in while people still believe it.

    Gervinho is a massive step down from Nasri.

    Charlie Adam is a defensive midfielder. A midfielder yes, a defensive one? Absolutely not


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,466 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Glen Johnson can't defend.

    he can defend brilliantly 99.9% of the time, but one bad decision against Danny Murphy against Fulham, and all of a sudden he's an awful defender again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen

    Who in the name of God thinks Charlie Adam is a defensive midfielder?

    Really? I would agree wholeheartedly with this. Different type of players, but imo one is top class and the other is, as Dunphy would say, a 'brainless winger'.

    But anyway it's not my club, so maybe OT...

    There is some truth in that one. Liverpool had a better points per game average (over a period of six or seven years) from games that Gerrard missed than there was from the games he played, but when cup games over the same period were added, then Liverpool had a better record with him in the team than when he was out.

    Think it was compiled by Opta or similar.

    Luiz can't play CB.

    Andy Carroll will break the deadlock soon and will be worth every penny :rolleyes:

    1. Haven't heard one opposing fan, nor Liverpool fan for that matter, state that they believe Carroll will be worth £35m :confused:

    2. Break the deadlock means to score the first goal in a match. As far as I know Liverpool aren't currently playing a match

    Okay so, let's say he will put in a good performance ;)

    Anyway...it was a ManUtd supporter, who told me, Carroll was a good player, maybe he was slagging me off? :pac:

    Nani is a diver.

    He probably was but these days he'll even stay on his feet when he's injured.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,070 ✭✭✭MarkY91


    that lucas leiva is cr@p


    ...he is one of the greatest defensive midfielders in world football :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10,259 ✭✭✭✭Melion


    Jamie Carragher has lost his pace - He never had any!
    Lucas is crap - No, just no
    Stewart Downing is a decent left winger - NO!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,571 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    Arsenal need a goalkeeper.

    Sagna is just so-so.

    Vermaelen is a brilliant defender.

    Koscielny is a crap defender.

    Arsenal need a defensive midfielder.

    Arshavin has that moment of magic that can change a game.

    Walcott will come good.

    Chamakh is a battering ram style CF.
