A lot of his underrated-ness comes from the position he plays. It's kind of like reffing in the sense that the best ones you don't notice. Being a CB isn't about being flashy so they don't really get all of the plaudits that a winger or striker normally get. The fact that he's underrated is a good thing because it means he's not making mistakes and being noticed outright for doing the wrong thing too often. That being said, I don't like the cut of his jib but I can't deny he's a world class CB.
Yeah, he's not good enough for us - just like Milner wasn't good for us but good enough for a team flirting with the top four. Let's get rid of him guys, seriously, he's just not good enough. [/sarcasm]
Surely it's one or the other?
Please stop protesting, I really want NUSC to work. As long as you're protesting, NUFC won't have nearly anything to do with you and of that I almost positive.
Alan Smith? Damien Duff?
They never stir any shit and they never waste any energy when they are on the pitch. They are 100% honest working nice guys on and off the pitch. If you hate them there is something really wrong with you.
