Ronaldo Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Woodgate was very good; Bramble was good too. Coloccini's in a different league. Woodgate was a bit better than very good. He wasn't. He made his mistakes and looked pretty assured behind an excellent midfield. Arguably the best in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I really liked Bramble tbh, he had too many "moments" but what he did well, he did fucking awesome. If he didn't have these times where he turned into a tard he would have been absolutely immense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Think it was either the Guardian or Times that gave him MOTM last week. He deserves recognition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn't have these times where he turned into a tard he would have been absolutely immense. I loved his diagonal passing and his general two-footedness. Him and Woodgate were a very good partnership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring injuries should have been at the back with Ferdinand for England for the past 6 years Nah, Terry is a better player and person. Terry might shag Bridge's ex, but you wouldn't find him in Blue Lounge on Linthorpe Road at 2AM licking spilit vodka off the floor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made his mistakes and looked pretty assured behind an excellent midfield. Arguably the best in the PL. Honestly can't remember mistakes from Woodgate that cost us goals. He also played with worse defenders than Coloccini did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 In regards to Woodgate he was Bramble without the mistakes, obviously he made the rare one like everyone else but if he was a Lampard type for fitness (or Colo actually) he would have seen a ludicrously good defender.

I think Woodgate had all of the tools to cut it at the top level, he'd have been far more suited to international football than Terry.

Cajun Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I think I remember a woodgate/given mistake at Wolves? Probably the only one, although Everton pen?

It was the failing of those at the other end of the pitch that denied them acknowledgement as a partnership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Ronaldo letting usual bias cloud his Woodgate judgement as well. In fairness he was bang-on all the way through with Colo, but I'm not having anything other than Woody was class barring his fitness. Seeing his name on the teamsheet when we had him here had a very soothing effect. Outstanding player who had a bit of everything during his time here.

It was the failing of those at the other end of the pitch that denied them acknowledgement as a partnership. I really don't think Terry's looked near the player for Chelsea that he has for England. Ferdinand's always looked top drawer in an England shirt, same with Sol Campbell as well. I put Terry a notch below the both of them when it comes to England performances.
