Hence why I was hoping Poulsen would have been match fit to break Kaka's legs.
it would be so funny to watch kaka run for his life while poulsen is chasing him, but i fear poulsen lost his teeth when he signed for us.

the few appearances he had for us were pretty tame . . .

this is good for us, because he will not get sent off for brutal tackles, but bad for the fun of the viewers ^^

Poulsen has not lost his fire.Ranieri was making Poulsen fill the role left by Zanetti's absence. He made him dictate the tempo from the middle. With Sissoko around him, Poulsen did need to make any crazy tackles, because Sissoko covered so much ground. all Poulsen had to do was sweep whoever escaped Momo's blocks. this way Poulsen had to focus more on ball distribution.

Play Poulsen next to Zanetti or Tiago ,and you'll see a more aggressive Poulsen.

I think it was more that he was being quite cautious in his early games until he got used to the league and how strict the referees are.

I'm willing to sacrifice 3 red cards for Poulsen for Kaka's broken leg.
I'm a bad man, i know, but it's not like Kaka will die if he has a leg broken into pieces.

I'm all for that as long as we win.

But then perhaps Kaka could die during the surgery via an overdose on general Anesthetics. You know, so it's not Poulsen's fault.

Let's see how the little poop dives and flops around with a broken leg.

De Silvestri was really good last season whenever I watched Lazio play. Looked a complete player and very mature for his age. Despite him playing poorly lately, I don't think all the talent I saw has just disappeared completely.
De Silvestri's touch is just horrible. He has some great physical attributes, for his age, but only for his age. He's a good back sure, but not all that great.

Define overrated?? Because Lichtsteiner has been the second best rightback in the league this season after Maicon.
You just answered your own quesion. Calling Lichsteiner the second best rightback in the league is overrating Lichsteiner.

blame his doctors at psv for pumping him with growth enchancing drugs.
Yes, sometimes it's best not to say anything at all.

    I'm liking where this conversation is headed...
    :D

    Btw I haven't watched Milan vs Catania.....did Ronaldinho play? Because I read somewhere where he stated that he's fine and ready for Juventus. He got injured?

    It just struck me; he's the young, right sided Molinaro.

    Seriously. I am confident that had I watched Molinaro at a younger age I would have been impressed by his tremendous work rate and pace while thinking the touch could be improved.

    No actually I'm quite confident that he's a top fullback; having watch him develop the past 3 years.

    It doesnt say anything to say you are overrating Licht by simply saying calling him the second best is overrating him. Who's there except Maicon? Zambrotta? He has his moments, but he is physically not dynamic anymore and has had for sure less of impact then Licht has, who has been Lazio's most important player beside the goalscoring, going tirelessly up and down the flank with ease. Its sad, but Zambro is mainly mediocre now.

    Licht has shown the qualities of being a top fullback, and he is judged as such. Its a simple question, if he he isnt the one behind Maicon, who is? It would be quite funny if you said Grygera or Cicinho (later having the offensive quality, but being disastrous this season so far).

    Top 10: Most loyal players

    10. Roberto Mancini (Sampdoria)
    Before beginning his coaching career, Roberto Mancini enjoyed a fantastic 15-year playing spell at Sampdoria where he won the Scudetto in 1991. Mancio is the Liguri’s all-time top scorer and it wouldn’t surprise us if he were to return to Marassi one day.

    9. Giancarlo Antognoni (Fiorentina)
    Forget Gabriel Batistuta and Roberto Baggio. What Giancarlo Antognoni did for the Gigliati in his career has no equals and he is regarded as the Viola’s most representative bandiera ever. Bell’Antonio, who retired in 1989, is today still an icon in Florence.

    8. Franco Baresi (Milan)
    All around the world Franco Baresi stands as the example of the invincible Italian defender. The Rossoneri withdrew his No 6 shirt when he retired after 20 successful years, and the tenacious Franco was subsequently awarded the title of Italy’s Player of the Century.

    7. Giampiero Boniperti (Juventus)
    There is only one team Giampiero Boniperti loves and that is, without a shadow of a doubt, the Old Lady. After winning all he could during his 444 games with the Bianconeri, Il Marisa also went on to become their President which shows his loyalty and true attachment to the club.

    6. Gigi Riva (Cagliari)
    Nothing can be as difficult than to stick with a small club, with all due respect to the Rossoblu, when all the big boys are chasing you. Rombo di Tuono didn’t have any doubts or regrets though and spent his entire career in Sardinia – winning the only Serie A title in the Isolani’s history.

    5. Giacinto Facchetti (Inter)
    Beppe Bergomi and Javier Zanetti deserved to be handed the captain’s armband at Inter, but Giacinto Facchetti was on a different level. The attacking full-back was a key member of Helenio Herrera’s Grande Inter and later became club President once his playing career was over.

    4. Francesco Totti (Roma)
    Francesco Totti is by far the most important captain in the Giallorossi’s history. Roman born and bred, Er Pupone has a gladiator tattooed to his right shoulder to underline his passion for the city. He went as far as claiming that the Lupi are far more important to him than La Nazionale.

    3. Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus)
    Pinturicchio will always have a special place in hearts of Juventini. The Bianconeri No 10 has collected over 500 appearances and is Juve’s all-time Capocannoniere. Proved all his loyalty when he followed the club into Serie B following the Calciopoli scandal. :scarf:

    2. Valentino Mazzola (Torino)
    The Granata captain and father of Inter idol Sandro Mazzola, Valentino was arguably one of the best players of his generation. Having won five League titles with the Grande Torino, he sadly lost his life alongside his teammates in the Superga disaster.

    1. Paolo Maldini (Milan)
    The captain everybody wishes was in their team. A true gentleman on and off the pitch, Paolo Maldini has devoted his entire life to the Rossoneri cause. The elegant defender has lifted the European Cup five times and at the stunning age of 40 is still craving for more success.

    Your touch doesn't improve after you're 20, not that much at least.

    Was really tough for Maldini to stay at Milan through all those tough years of no success.

    Really eclipses Del Piero staying with Juve in Serie B. :rolleyes:
