If Proof were needed that McLaren’s a mess….
Not the racing team but the coach who’s single job it is, is to pick the best football players from England and play them in their best positions.
Never mind die hard Reds, any 8yr old CM geek could tell you that Jamie Carragher without doubt had a fantastic season last year, and in particular, two matches: Barcelona and Chelsea.
Now if defending against two different types of teams like these two, defending quite brilliantly by the way, doesn’t tell you something of the man’s consumate skill, then nothing will.
Not even being preferred over John Terry by some as the best CB in the league.
Not even being consistently praised by players, managers and pundits.
No, let’s be honest. Obviously Ledley King and Wes Brown, both from Crocks-R-Us Hospital for the permanently lame, are both better players.
Obviously playing Carragher as RB because he’s a utility player (like using a kettle to boil an egg, it’ll work but not what its meant to do) is a good idea, so Jar Jar Binks can languidly do nowt next to John Terry. No wonder Terry looks excellent there, he’s either got ‘my-heads-in’ Rio or the Hobbling Bros next to him.
Jamie should put it like this.
“Steve, you’re an arse. But you won’t recognise it as an arse, preferring to place it on your elbow cos that’s its best position. Or your head.”
