      Im bored at work fellow posters and need a wake up and a bit of a laugh.

      Now I assume most of us on here have played the game at some sort of level or are still playing. I wanted to find out what type of player you say your most like obviously not in like for like ability but in terms of trickery, pace, strength and commitment, character etc.

      As I played centre back most of my days Im going to plump for Neil Ruddock...I think thats the best fit for me. I had bundles of committment and absolutely hated losing. I didnt mind taking the opponent out if it was needed and could read a game pretty well but in terms of ability on the ball....na I left that to someone else.

      There must be a few on here that see themselves as a bit of a Torres or Gerrard.

      Mods - if this should be posted elsewhere please move it - I put it here as its about LFC players but leave it with you as its a non serious topic.

      My mates say I play similarly to Xabi Alonso because of the vision,passing ability and also able to strike from distance. :D

      I'm sad to say I'm alot like Harry Kewell. :(

      We're both from the same country, we play the same position (although I do play striker aswell), and sadly I also seem to have the same problem with injuries. :f_steam:

      I play as a right winger, although I haven't played for a long time I'm looking to get back into the game after my exams. It has been a long time since I've played footy proper, maybe 2-3 months I've rustied a little.

      I can play as a striker but my primary position is a right winger, often like to cut in and track back. Dirk Kuyt comes into mind eh :D

      So yeah, my finishing is a little erratic at times, just a little like Kuyt, but in terms of hard work I think I'm there when I really do want to get involved in the game (sometimes the sun is too hot that I just stand one side and slack, a little bit of a lazy b***ard eh? ;))

      Fernando Torres. Even in his Atletico days, he's always been my favourite player.
      Always been a centre forward and a goalscorer with speed, plus a lot of people have always said we look alike.

      But I tend to run forward and backward in games. I do try to dribble more than Xabi Alonso, though. I love scoring goals but what makes me happy the most is when a teammate scores from a pass I've made.

      Jamie Redknapp, I based my game on him, I can hit from distance, but enjoy passing the ball around and taking all set pieces.

      In terms of character, i'm definitely Carra. It comes out even on the cricket field where i explode if i think your not giving enough or just arsing around.

      In terms of style i'm alot like Kuyt. I try my best every time, work hard for the team, not the quickest or trickiest player out but i have a pretty strong shot - the only difference is our finishing. I love to get it in and around the box and can find the net.

      I'd have to say Bernard Diomede, because I'm sh*t :D

      Seriously tho as I played right midfield the majority of the time and got a few goals from that side, I'd have to say Kuyt as I wasn't the most skilful player on the pitch but I made up for it with my hard work and will to win.

      It would definetly be Danny Agger.

      An almost identical body build loved playing in the centre of the defence, calm on the ball and a strong right foot shot. A mix of Carra because I am always in someone's ear when I dont think they are giving 100%.

      I don't really know,some of my passed managers wanted me in the middle(Molby,McMahon,Souness)and others wanted me up front(Hunt,Rush)and yet when I played for the Eldonians my then manager Billy Kenny wanted me in the back four(Hughes,Nichol),I even played in goal a lot(Clem)so I guess I'm a utility player of no name who has boots that wants to play football or should I say wanted,"cant now to old"but can still play with both feet and show the kids an old trick or two.

      Played right back mostly so I'd say Stevie Nicol or Rob Jones.
      Played centre midfield when I lost the bit of pace I had but that was only to kick or mame the opposition so maybe a very poor man's Graham Souness or Steve Mc Mahon.

      John Arne Riise.

      I was an attacking left back who couldn't defend :D

      I had a jackhammer for a left foot though and took all the free kicks, penalties and corners.

      I play with you most nights and Torres is probably the furthest player away from you as humanly possible. For you, I would suggest someone who isn't afraid to stick a tackle in, has good shot pwer as you said, but miskicks 3/4 of his shots. ;).

      I would compare myself to John Arne Riise. I played in LB for my entire career (occasionally LM), scored about 5-10 goals a season and scored a few wonder goals. Also have a cool head in front of goal.

      I'm deadly in the box and I haven't missed a penalty in my last 20 attempts.

      So I'd say Torres and a bit of Molby/Neal. ;)
