[ENG] Premiership 2011/2012 (37 Viewers)

Yup, apparently he's one of the best rightbacks in the league

I get sick of seeing the likes of Townsend, Curbishley and co overrating the Englishmen to oblivion on Abu Dhabi Sport.

Thanks Goodness I don't have Abu Dhabi Sport. Canal+ FTW.

Wow, somebody doesn't rate Walker, come her I want to give a you a hug. I get sick when I hear people talk about Walker being the best RB in England this season. This guy is not as half as good as Sagna and will never be.
What makes me more sick, when people say that he is better than Rafael.

He's just fast and English.

 

[Fred]

Another player who is actually having a good season and is quite decent, but is still overrated like hell is Scotty Parker. Man, listening to those pundits you'd think he's Roy Keane or Patrick fucking Vieira.

He's always been decent, but now he's with a club that has a bit of style so he gets a lot of plaudits.

How Many of those players has the EPL had now? Lennon, wright Phillips, walcott (at first, has kinds improved now) walker? I know there are many more but I can't remember now.

 

[Fred]

Basically pace, and ability to whip crosses in is all they look for in a wide man. All those players have very limited technical ability.

 

[JuveJay]

At least being limited technically isn't felt so much at right back. Walker could be just what England need, if he stops the headless chicken shit.

 

[Ahmed]

not to mention a badger seems to have died on the top of his head.

Only because of a lack of quality rightbacks in England. He's not a very intelligent defender either.

But he's fast enough to recover, which in England constitutes having "good defensive positioning".

 

[Red]

In fairness to him though, he is probably one of the fastest fullbacks not only in the EPL but in Europe.

Good for him.

Has he considered taking up a sport that only requires him to run?

'No German players could get into the England team' - Andy Townsend, 2010

 

[Enron]

David James was so bad that game.

 

[Fred]

Idiot of the highest order Townsend is.

He's the main pundit Abu Dhabi Sport is using in their EPL studio. So unfortunately we're subject to his idiocy every week.

 

[Itztli]

I would say Walker is good, but not the way the English rate him. Got speed and a good cross. That's about it with him. In fact, England's fullback bar Baines havent really impressed me.

In all seriousness though, i think only Terry and Rooney would make the German side. But of course if you listen to Townsend, Schweinsteiger(sp?) has nothing on Scotty Parker, Theo Walcott is one of the best young talents and is better than Muller, and the clinical goal scorer Darren Bent is a far superior player to the slow Mario Gomez.

Baines despite being devastating going forward, and despite being Everton's most consistent performer over the past few years imo, is actually a really poor defender. Though he is a breath of fresh air when it comes to English fullbacks, as he is very different from your typical English fullback in that he's actually quite decent technically. Like i said though, he can't defend for shit.

Speaking of...

Thats not funny man, and brings back some bitter memories.

 

[ALC]

Wilshere's a Liverpool fan?

 

[Fred]

Whats so funny?

Isn't Terry a United fan? Defoe an Arsenal fan?

It happens.

 

[ALC]

Nothing wrong with being a Pool fan, but he's wearing their shirt in Arsenal's locker room, while he still has his Arsenal shorts on. That just shows how much be cares about the club. Wouldn't be surprised to see him leave together with Van Persie and Chesny.
