Oddly enough, many people don't rate Mascherano here in Argentina, either.
Really? Huh. Why not? He was always rated here.

How I'd love to have an English Mascherano
Really? Huh. Why not? He was always rated here.
Maybe it's because he's one of the few players we have that can pass? Maybe it's because his inclusion actually gives us a lot more tactical depth? Maybe it's because Hodgson recognising his talent may be the first step in the road to progression for English football? (unlikely given Lampard Gerrard duo but a man can dream) Maybe it's because he's a decent player that isn't a flash in the pan youngster with loads of expectation, just waiting to be crushed into mediocrity by all the pressure and misuse?
Or maybe it's just because people are football hipsters and saying that you always rated Carrick makes you seem cool.
And of all a sudden Carrick fans have been popping up everywhere ever since Mike. raged the day he was not selected for the Euor's
Personally don't see what all the fuss is about... While Carrick would be much much better suited to playing in a CM role rather than Lampard/Gerrard (Which is not saying much), the way some people go on about him here, one might think he is Xavi and Iniesta combined

Mike also loves Cleverly and spent much of the game last night pointing out to me where England are going wrong playing Cleverly as a 10. While I have always considered him to be somewhat over-hyped.
Fortunately he had a shocker last night, so it shut Mike up pretty quickly

Right, someone check when we're next playing Brazil.
Another two friendlies announced against Brazil next year, both home and away

Of course Mike's going to hype Cleverly, he's a United fan. I think I've been telling anyone stupid enough to listen that McEachran is going to be the metronome of the new England team for a couple of years now and how many Arsenal fans have shrugged off losing Fabregas because they have Wilshere?
He's right about playing him as a 10 though; it made me laugh the other day when Richard Williams rambled on about Cleverly being the new England no.10 as if being creative but playing deeper was some sort of crazy avante garde pipe-dream created by the Europeans to baffle us and take away our gritty English battlers in midfield.
We he isnt a 10. he is a good deep mid. But an average 10, since he doest take players out the game, doesn't score, doesn't split pass.
Hey and you said he was decent last night so there! His finishing made me want to cry though
Decent?! Never. He has the finishing ability a fair few notches lower than Titus Bramble.
Lies you said he was decent, apart from his lack finishing, which made you want to kill him.
