Matt, agree with you about Gerrard and Lampard, they needed splitting up. However, I disagree with you about Carragher. Rio is immense, a cruise control defender who makes tackling look easy. Carragher might be committed, but he's not as good as Rio.

Yes please

and don't say MOTD!

Football Focus on the Saturday after.

Rio is a duck. Carra is a miles better player than him. It's only United fans who think otherwise.

Let's put Bramble there for a laugh.

 

[evertonfan]

He'd look more comfortable up front than Heskey did on Saturday.

I think we should make Boumsong English and have Brown, Bramble, Boumsong :cool:

Only united fans, and Marcello Lippi, and Jose Mourinho, and loads of other people who i can't be bothered mentioning. He's done nothing wrong in an England shirt for a very long time as far as i can remember. Very little in a united one too. Great performance to be 2-0 up so far against a good Russian side. I'm just really glad Crouch isn't playing because when he plays our style of football completely changes. With Rooney still to come back, Hargreaves possibly although i honestly wouldn't play him, Neville, Lennon possibly and Lampard on the bench, thats 4 top class players still to come although onjly 1 is fairly certain to get into the side. I'm not sure whether its early enough to come out yet but i'm a McClaren fan I haven't seen too much of this as i've been watching Zimbabwe hammer Australia but what i've seen we're in control.

RIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! No other defender in England could have scored from there. Not the best start but wasn't for Terry too, both full backs were poor as well but it was moe to do with the Russians. Rio bounced back!

Oh and Sir Alex is dead, he was kicked in the gorin by a ghost

 

[PhilD123]

RIO! RIO! RIO! Can you hear the Scousers sing, I can't hear a...thing, la la la la la! Excellent finish from Rio!

Nice win anyway from England.

Yeah, Joe, I'd heard them kicks in the gorin were deadly.

 

[evertonfan]

So because Rio can score goals he's better than Carra?

Carra > Rio

 

[BigCrickNan]

Most human beings would of saved that shot tbh , not that i'm complaining. Sound Win.

 

[Leicester Fox]

So because Rio can score goals he's better than Carra?

Carra > Rio

no-one said that though did they? Just that no other defender could have scored from there, so it's more of a bonus as well as being better than Carragher thathe can score like that

Does a lucky goal mask the fact Rio defended very poorly last night?

No but at the end of the day they still didn't concede did they? He wasn't the only one who defended poorly either. That was his 1st bad game for ages too

 

[evertonfan]

Rio has games where he's absolutely shambolic at the back. Carragher doesn't. Carra is better than Rio; It's a fact.

What a volley from Michael Owen today. Was class!
