Zlatan.

not a big game player

[AFII]

not a big game player

He has delivered in big games for Sweden and for Inter in Serie A but not in the CL.

[spider-neil]

for the record imho the only liverpool striker with everything from that list before torres was rush

cisse - lacked technique
baros - lacked awareness
fowler - lacked pace (but finished better than anyone I've ever seen)
owen - lacked strength
kenny - lacked pace (but MORE that made up for it with brains)

Lazy big headed *******!

Lazy big headed *******!

yes there is the lazy aspect as well

I don't understand where this constant critisisimm of Zlatan comes from.

He's won league titles at every club he's played for.

He was integral in Inter winning the Italian league last season.

He's an outstanding player.

[Craig_H]

also how many strikers have absolutely everything

pace
power
work rate
awareness of team mates
heading
ability with both feet
technique
finishing
big game mentality

that list whittles the world strikers down to about TWO

Still think his finishing/composure in front of goal can be a bit sporadic.

Cos winning Serie A was so hard last season? Inter are decent side in a weak league.
His is very lazy.

eto (maybe rooney as well)

henry is poor in the air
VNR doesn't work hard
ronaldo (real one) doesn't work hard

Rooney is not a good finisher.

[Pacman]

Zlatan.

He is ****ing ****.

[publiusscipio]

Well I'll stick me hand up...............I really thought he might take time to settle.

I just hope hes not put off by playing the Blackburns of this league in the middle of Jan on a freezing cold Feb evening.

Those Nov nights are hard when you have to face kickers during Dec evenings.

If you go back through some of my posts who will see just HOW much I rated him, over the summer.

The amount of debates I got into are now just a waste of time as I'm sure everyone now agrees with me

I also claimed he was nailed on to be a liverpool player well before he was

[Zapater]

lacks power

I strongly disagree with that. Villa has a low centre of gravity and is ****ing strong.

[publiusscipio]

for the record imho the only liverpool striker with everything from that list before torres was rush

cisse - lacked technique
work rate
awareness of team mates
heading
ability with both feet
technique
finishing Essentially he can run very fast with his head down and blast the ball at the corner flag and moan at his team mates.
baros - lacked awareness of team mates
fowler - lacked pace (but finished better than anyone I've ever seen)
owen - lacked strength
kenny - lacked pace (but MORE that made up for it with brains)

He is one of the most hard working players for Inter How many Inter games have you seen since Ibra joined them?

He was lazy a few years ago but not anymore. Now he works his socks off every week.
