you do know gerrards preferred position is CM right??...you do know he's pretty good at spraying 60 yard passes as well?? playing behind the striker suits him when torres is playing due to their understanding
my preferred position is on top of a girl, however my cock is more effective with her riding on my lap. Gerrrard may prefer CM but he's more effective as a AMC/SS then other player at LFC
plus i said clinical in one on ones? did he have a one on one opportunity thursday nooooooo
N'Gog had 4/5 good shooting opportunities from 15-20 yard range on thursday, a top 4 striker should be eating those up.
and he's no good at holding the ball up but he's good at linking play??...do you think before you type...and i think the chance where he held off two players chested the ball down swivelled and volleyed showed the lad has control dosent it
holding the ball is different from linking up play.
Holding the ball up = using your strength, body and ball control to keep possession of the ball, from the opposition
Linking up play = how well you bring in your team mates around you into the game.
Strikers do both where as midfielders mainly have to link up the play, you can be good at one without being good at the other like N'Gog. N'gog has good awareness of his teammates around him, however cos of his general poor first touch and lack of upper body strength many a time he loses the ball.
yes N'gog showed good control on that occasion, but many players have better technique when they don't have time to think about what they're gonna do, instinctive technique is different from your technique when you have 3-5 seconds to think about controlling the ball. I've actually found that when controlling a ball from a pass/cross is easier to control the ball if your relaxed, rather than thinking too much about how you're gonna control the ball, if you do that it makes you nervous which happens with N'Gog. Look at Keane's goal against Arsenal last year at Emirates, he scored with an instinctive shot from a long ball, but he lacked composure and and panicked with easy one on one shots he was taking when he had time to think about how he was gonna shoot and placed the ball.

If we were to take five id go for
Rooney,
Crouch,
Defoe,
Bent,
Heskey
Invincible:
I would definitely take Rooney and Defoe. The rest are a difficult choice. With Crouch's pretty decent international record (or be it against only the lesser nations) I would probably take him and maybe Carlton Cole or Darren Bent, but he's pretty much untried at international level. Agbonlahor is to inconsistent and Heskey doesn't score enough. And I woudn't take Zamora either. If Owen had of been playing well this season I would of taken him but he's been a serious disappointment so he stays at home now.
es-jay:
Rooney
Defoe
Then a choice between the following (depending upon who is in the best form):**
Agbonlahor
Cole
Bent
Zamora
Crouch
Wouldn't get near the plane (unless they were carrying bags):
Heskey
Owen
**I would like to see any of these players get a chance in the Friendly against Egypt in March.
