Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored more goals against England tonight than Andy Carroll did in 40 games for Liverpool.
Agree, one of my 3 main learning points from this pointless friendly. I however believe it had some value now, that goal.
I've been shot down on here in the past by others for saying that Zlatan is the best CF in the world. I've got one thing for them:
All this obscene hate on Hart, he's a world-class keeper in dreadful form. Stick with him he'll get better won't do his confidence any good to drop him now. I blame Guly to be honest...
135 caps for him, Sweden's most capped outfield player. That's a fantastic achievement, well done to him.
Well done to Gerrard for his 100th cap as well, I really like the guy, as much as it pains me to say it as I really don't like Liverpool.
Isn't Ben Foster injured? he missed WBAs last game, and against us he looked far from composed with his kicking. Was he not using his weak foot? Also, poor punditry from ITV, 'those who made mistakes learned from them'.. yeah cos we lost a game we were in control of and should have seen out...? didnt see anyone learn from these mistakes, just kept making more of them. As soon as we started chopping the team apart when we were on the back foot we were going to lose. Sterling was cack too, made a few good passes but on the whole was soooo wasteful, if he makes the next England team questions should be raised!
Maybe Hart and Forster could have had a half each? I still think that Hart's one of the best keepers in the world albeit in bad form, needs to get some distribution advice from Gazza though.
You won't get a disagreement from me. I've always thought he was total and utter class. My mind goes back to this Ajax goal. Note that his second touch is a great tackle..! [video=youtube;ZgqsaDnsEq8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgqsaDnsEq8[/video]
He's younger than Hart as well. Cannot believe he didn't play after his performances against Barcelona.
Ibrahimovic is told in press conference after the game that Steven Gerrard gave his England career 'six or seven' out of ten. What would Zlatan give his own career? 'Ten.'
Ahhh my bad. Yeah well i don't think he will get a look in, when the only real quality he plays is in the champions league!
