I've stayed outta this thread for 2 reasons. 1) it's pointless to begin with and 2) why compare our players with United's, why not Hull's or Bolton's or Ayr's? It's just another case of Liverpool fans having to talk about United and it drives me up the F***ing wall if I'm being honest.
But since I'm reading a rather heated debate, I can't keep me nose out and wanna get involved to.
So firstly yes United do have some great players and have dominated the English game since the inception of the Premiership. Yes Capello may pick their players over ours but that is his opinion, that doesn't mean it's F***ing gospel. On top of that there's plenty of Liverpool legends who hardly got the number of caps they deserved, that doesn't mean they weren't better than those who were selected. Cally, Tommy Smith, Jimmy Case, God, Carra to name but a few who were sh*t on by the national side.
Frankly I couldn't give a F**k who Capello thinks is the better player, in the same way I couldn't give a F**k how many sugars he has in his tea. This is the same Fabio Capello who not so long ago questioned whether or not Stevie was fit, despite our doctor (and the England U-21's doctor) telling him our captain was injured. So he has a problem with our skipper. This is the same Fabio Capello who picks Carlton Cole for his England squads, are we led to believe Cole is the greatest thing since slice bread then because he gets called up the national side? This is the same Fabio Capello who at one point had Emile Heskey as the number one forward, first name on the team sheet. Just because Capello picks Rooney ahead of Steive to play off the forward doesn't mean Rooney is the better player. It just means Capello sees it that way, Rafa might not. And since Benitez is managing the most successful side on these shores, I'll take his opinion over any Italian wop or a cheating, whinging, crying, drunk Scottish c**t.
And I can state quite confidently once Joe Cole regains fitness, Gerrard will be playing in the hole. Rooney up top, Stevie behind him, Cole on the left. That's the way Capello will be going so all of a sudden Stevie will be the better option won't he. So shut the F**k up in trying to convince people that Rooney is a better player than Gerrard, he isn't. It's as simple as that, he isn't.
Gerrard is the most complete player in the world right now. Rooney doesn't even come close to that, he's just a F***ing dirty b***ard who can't tackle, just kicks you until you give him the ball. He's good, but Gerrard is world class. That's the difference.
Now for the point of the thread.
Reina is twice the keeper Van Der Sar was in his prime, let alone now.
Johnson pisses all over any of their right backs.
Carra is a better out and out defender than Vidic.
Agger is a better defender and ball player than Ferdinand despite the former Hammer costing six times as much.
Aurelio's delivery and defending is much better than Evra's.
Kuyt will score more, create more and do more than Valencia.
Lucas is easily better than Anderson.
Mascherano's a better player than Carrick in every department.
Riera is better than Giggs because the Welshman is picking up his pension.
Gerrard is the best player on the planet so poor old Rooney doesn't come close.
Torres is better than anything they have in terms of a forward.
(And by the way that isn't even our best team because I'd have Skrtel ahead of Agger, Insua ahead of Aurelio, Benayoun ahead of Riera. Just thought I'd show how strong our squad is.)
