[Guest Portuguese]

[Michel Kane]

Aaron Lennon & Lionel Messi occupy the same position for the clubs, do they fulfill the same role?

Tim Cahill occupies the same position of playing just off the striker, does that make him a playmaker?

See what I'm getting at?

And don't get pedantic please, I'm not one of those dudes who goes on & on aimlessly.

Adieu.

See Football has changed so the roles have become different that's why I said the role off the striker is the number ten eg the playmaker.

That's why I said you cannot put Gerrard in the same level as Michael Laudrup.

[Guest Portuguese]

Besides Lennon and Messi are not the same anymore the former is a winger and the latter has become a forward.

[Michel Kane]

Hence, again, why are we comparing Gerrard & Laudrup?

Question was aimed moreso to Afghoon.

For the record, Messi has always been a 'forward', but has just added more dimensions to his game over time. But in terms of position, Lennon/Messi occupy the same one: RW.

Got to differentiate role & position.

Unfortunately, a lot of people who see the game in more simple terms, combine the two.

R man really sleeping on Kaka? on of the sikest no.10s

[Guest Portuguese]

Kaka not even in the top ten

[Guest Lens]

/

Evra's a better LB than cashley

/

Not really.

[Guest Blue State Of Mind]

Messi shouldn't be in the team.

[Guest Portuguese]

Redondo is a deep line playmaker so I don't think you can compare him to the likes of Makelele.

See where does Rijkaard come into this debate? Because he was better than Deschamps/Gattuso but then again he was box to box but classed as a DM

[Guest Portuguese]

Matthaus as well what was he holding or box to box?(I know he got pushed back as he got to the end of his career but I am asking at his best)

As for number 10's better than Kaka how far are we going back?

[Kompressor]

the poll is a grestest EVER so i imagine it d go back to whenever you want.

[Mr. Gayle]

Think we all agree R9 = greatest striker of our lifetime

Rijkaard was light years ahead of his time man, kinda like a revolutionary figure of how the next generation ballers would be.

Faster, stronger, more technnique, more aggressive - just better athletes.

The first DMC i saw that would actually get all in your mouth like toothpaste mixed with good vision.

Without rijkaard you may not have seen the likes of redondo, vieira or the yayas.
