    At times is the problem here CE, we need them to be consistant. After all it is that consistancy that seperates the average from the cream.

    I think he is similar to many of our prospects both past and present, he needed an experienced solid pro next to him, to learn from and improve.

    Lenny was a leader though mate and a tough tackler who justified his limitations by always being a step ahead of most midfielders.

    Can u ever see Hartley sticking Gerrard in his pocket the way Lenny did at Anfield?

    Not a * chance!

    Who did I insult in that thread? Nobody, dont make wild accusations about me. Maybe rather than taking this thread offtopic you would like to exchange some PM's?

    I think when facing the play your right he is the best CB we have in the air, however at cross balls he loses the flight of the ball often and gets caught out of position(This maybe down to Zonal marking).<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    I don´t share your opinion that he is a good organiser, if that was true then you would see a solid defensive unit, that’s just not the case.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>


    Better than Odea maybe, better than Loovens I sure hope not.

    As for Caldwell I think 70% of his passes miss the target but yes he is better with the ball at his feet over Mick. However first and foremost a defender must defend he just cant IMHO. I honestly think you would see better performances from Mick if he had a consistent and reliable CB next to him, this has been the case in the past.<o:p></o:p>


    In all honsesty CE I think Mick had the potential to become a quality CB, I think time has past him by at 24-25, he needed a Mjalby type figure next to him to learn from. IMO Caldwell is and never will be a consistant/solid defender.

    However they are both decent enough at SPL level it´s the step up in class were they get found out. I hope Loovens prooves to be the glue that helps mould a solid unit, however if that was to be the case then surely he would be playing.

    Actually Dempsey, you said -

    "Read the rules, comply with them and shut the * up cos you are offtopic, another offence. "

    To another forum member in the abortion thread.

    Your either someone who suffers from schizophrenia or have a split personality disorder but your not facing the way your acting and pretending these things havent happened. You in my opinion need to be removed as a mod as your turning this site into a joke

    In what country??????

    Your cursing AT SOMEONE, that is an insult.

    You told me to * off for having an opinion, I am therefore insulted, do you follow?

    Basic sense here, is it getting through???? And your an admin for gods sake! This sites in trouble if folk like you are allowed to decide on who can talk and who cant without the threat of being told to * off or being banned and then you have the cheek to say telling someone to * off isnt an insult. dear dear me....

    A week? Ive been around for months and months, more babble from you with no substance.

    You should know better than to act the way your acting.

    I am still waiting for an apology for being told to * off for absolutely nothing,

    I doubt you are capable of that though

    Hard to see McManus dropped. Its rare for a manager to drop their captain unless they are in their mid 30's then its fitness related.
