Personally, I think Lippi brought him here to form a better partnership with Chiellini for the WC next summer. It's either that, or it's that bullshit of, "he will help the youngsters learn how to defend" that some people spout. Well, it doesn't seem like Criscito is coming back, De Ceglie...

Thanks for everything, Mellbarf.

Poor Mellborg. All he ever wanted to do was play striker.

Perhaps this is why none of the top teams from England were ever interested in Mellberg.

I don't think Capello would be satisfied with a player such as Mellberg.

FORZA MELLBERG

This player is no right-back. I'm sorry.

+Rep

He may not be slow, but he certainly isn't quick. :lol2: Laursen is the new captain of Villa, while Mellberg used to be captain. As for who is better, I'm not sure.

:lol2: Brush away, sir.

Mellberg made some other mistakes during the match too, and looked shaky sometimes.

Well the whole defense sucks without Giorgio, so yes, you could be right.

Look, Mellberg still allowed Gilardino to turn him and get a shot off. Being turned like that can be prevented. Mellberg's a big guy and could have imposed himself better. That's it. It's his fault and also Grygera's.

When a player turns you and takes a shot and scores, it's your fault. No two ways about it.

Come on now, this is ridiculous. Zebina is far and away nowhere near the best RB in the world but he has still given us solid years in the past. He's better than Grygera and certainly better than Mellberg when it comes to providing us attacking stature on the right-flank. I don't know why...

Zebina, Max. Zebina.

You may be very well correct. Molinaro was Molinaro but didn't make as many costly or possible costly errors.

I don't know about that but surely it's our worst duo at those spots in the last three decades at least. :(

Mellberg doesn't have the athleticism to be our right-back. With the way we play, we need somebody who is fast and can attack at RB, like Zebina. As you saw today even Grygera had a crucial duty in getting up the pitch. Lets bring Zebina back as the RB.

I don't know why people are so keen on using him at right-back.
