Vieira (18 Viewers)

[Dominic]

Vieira is only 27.
I don't want him though, i don't like his mentality.

He'll be 28 in June. When it comes to footballers, i always talk about their age in the current year.

You don't like his mentality? You don't like hard-working, passionate players who help out in every department of the team's tactics? Fine, we'll play Camoranesi in defensive midfield every match :groan:

You think he has a good mentality, he's one of the most arrogant players around. What i especially dislike about him is his fouls; his dirty dirty tackles! I hate players like that...

Vieira isn't a dirty player as such - he's just a very determined tackler. Unlike someone like Gerrard, and Keane at times, he rarely goes for the man. When he fouls, it's because he didn't get the ball, not because he did get the man!

Well said John. Steven Gerrard has the best two-footed tackle around, and Roy Keane needs no introduction. Vieira has improved his discipline immensely since the days he and Petit would take turns going for an early bath, and his fouls are always due to a misjudgment rather than malice

Spot on johnny, gerrard looses his head when he cant get the ball, keane is keane, where as vieira, he trys to use the teloscoping legs to get the ball, but they dont get it every time....

Vieira is class, his leadership is class, his mentality is class.

Gerrard has come close to breaking people's legs on half a dozen occasions. He's a horrific tackler. Keane is usually, like Vieira, a determined tackler, but he's got a short fuse.

Vieira still regularly gets a lot of cards. He's lucky that in the premiership only after 7 or 8 yellow cards you get suspended! It does like he goes for the man though.

Agree about Gerrard, Gerrard is just crazy, and Keane has an attidute problem.

keanes fuse is soo short its like he never had one...he is also an elepahant, his memory is good, he remeber he neede to crop Haaland, so he completly ruined his career.

 

[mikhail]

All determined tackling defensive mids get a lot of cards - when an opponent is running at the defense, it's their job to try to stop him, and they can take more chances than the last defender, so they often risk late challenges, and risky stuff from behind.

 

[Dominic]

There are enough dmf's who do a great job without getting a card regularly.

and he was enough of a prick to boast about it in his autobiography :groan:


Live action from Man U - Fulham:

29' Keane is robbed by Boa Morte, and the Irishman then cynically drags him back before he gets away - yellow card for Keane

10' Keane sends McBride tumbling

Haaland stood over Keane, as he lay on the ground in agony, calling him a faker, and a cheat - really insulting words to a man like Keane. He spent a year out injured from that injury, and during his rehab, those words must have stung. I don't want to apologise for his actions, or to justify them, but I want to see them taken in context. Oh, and as for this bollox about Keane ending his career, Haaland played several more games for City before his other knee got injured.

Vieira is class. He gets quite a few cards but that's only natural when you play defensive mid and as Mikhail proclaimed you're a determined tackler. While on the subject, Gerrard and Keane are class too imo. Both have a tendancy to lose their heads, but they're still brilliant performers.

 

[gray]

They're class performers, but dangerous players nonetheless

 

[Stu]

Fair enough, fair enough..

davids and tacchinardi had a lot of cards. they have mentality problems.


:doh:

didnt kno it was his other knee, all i kno was what i watched in the news, keane is not a huge interest to me, but he still shouldnt hav done what he did, no matter what he said to keano, shouldnt have done it.
