Liverpool Players in World Top 100 List

[Dhav]

Frank Lampard 25?? That'll come as quite a shock to his PR man, Mr Redknapp.

[Dan]

No, no, no ... you miss my point. No wonder your title is "The Simple One". Where is he in the list? You took me too literally.

Its called being sarcastic

[mersey86]

Cech 11, Reina nowhere. Yes, good one.

[-V-]

Im shocked that Pepe Reina didnt make the top 100

But then lists like this will always poorly compiled

Carragher is much better than some of those guys ahead of him. And guys like David Suazo of Inter and Ashley cole are def far too highly rated

[Shaggy]

Adrian Mutu above Mascherano

Lists of this nature, in football, are a TOTAL waste of time.

Its called being sarcastic

But you did not use the sarcastic smiley.
And my response could have been called - deliberately obtuse - there's no smiley for that, though.

I am disgusted with that list , all these above Carra, not a chance. I got fed up looking at the list so stopped highlighting.

For the record I personally reckon there are a hell of a lot players above Carra who shouldn't have been, but I only highlighted the real obvious ones in my opinion

Edit- I am talking here about the performances last season, surely thats how this list was formed

But you did not use the sarcastic smiley.
And my response could have been called - deliberately obtuse.

Deliberately obtuse.

I like it.


And in relation to the list, if it was indeed compiled by 442 journos you have to question their levels of football knowledge.

It seems that knowing the beautiful game inside out is not a necessary qualification for writing piffle about it.

Cech 11, Reina nowhere. Yes, good one.

Nice timing

[red g]

Where's Harry Kewell?

we would all like to know that

[akjs123]

The list is a joke. How can they have David Suazo (Inter Milan) and 38. Dimitar Berbatov above Tevez, Klose, Toni and have Pato in the top 100.

[Abro100]

No one picked up on Beckham yet?

[SouthAfricaRed]

Where's Harry Kewell?

He was injured

[dom9]

Who cares.

[reddragon]

Haddock face Neville -85?

Above Carra?

That invalidates the list before I even look any further.

is right - exactly my thoughts
