Oh and just to avoid any confusion. I hate Terry and Chelski as much as anyone. And Sami is one of my all time Anfield favourites. The day he leaves will be a sad sad day.

It will indeed. I was at Hillsborough for his debut, and the very first thing he did in a Liverpool shirt was let a goal-kick bounce over his head. Little did I know after that abysmal opening ten minute spell what a trojan he'd turn out to be for us.Originally posted by RedSwede

I reckon our unit is drilled far better than any other back four in the prem. Normally we hold a very good (straight) line and clear the box after the initial clearance better than any team I can remember. Just look at how many offside decisions we get and how few teams actually get in behind us.
However, I do get a little worried with the zonal marking from time to time but the overall results of playing that way have proved Rafa's right to use the system.Liverpool born and bred.Comment

I think Arsenal also mark zonally. Not 100% sure, don't watch them enough to judge but I have heard it from people who do."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

I actually can't quite believe we've somehow managed to avoid widespread "Arsenal" jibes, insofar as our offside trap is concerned.Originally posted by Howard_lfc
We absolutely mastered that art last season - all we were lacking was Tony Adams marching out of the line, with his barrel chest protruding and arm aloft. We were so incredibly well drilled at the back, that you get the feeling Rafa and his assistants could take any four pub players and get them working as a near impregnable, tight-as-**** unit.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

The chelsea rearguard is probably as close as you will get, bar Ferreira (sp?).. I'd take Terry, Cole and at a push Carvalho.. but as far as a sound unit goes, last seasons back four (of ours) was excellent..Comment

Sami has nothing to worry about when it comes to losing his place in the side. The 2 replacements have a hell of a lot of work to do if they want to replace the legend that is Sami Hyypia.Comment

I reckon he's pretty much spot on, to be honest mate.Originally posted by Strawberryblonde83
I have never seen a defender who is so dominant in the air. There simply isn't a defender anywhere who can match Sami in this department.
Sami also is hardly ever beaten in a 1 on 1 situation, despite his lack of pace.
Sami also holds and commands a great defensive line, despite 2 different managers asking him to defend in different ways.
In summary, Sami Hyypia is one of the greatest men ever to have walked the earth
