I see Sven has picked Wes Brown for the World Cup. He must be quite decent that Brown to make that squad, don't you think?

Have been very encourage by his displays after his return from injury

New FIFA regulations says you can only take one Donkey to the World Cup, so it was a straight choice between Heskey and Carracgher. Heskey was picked becuase he's better defensively than Carragher

Thought he was poor vs Bayer..
I'm sure OGH will continue to show patchy form and cause chaos in your ropey backline..

His passing was bad Vs Bayer, his general defending was good

I think you Mancs judge a good defensive performance by your backline differently from us Liverpool fans...
The games where you class the likes of Blanc, OG etc as having decent games are merely average for the likes of Henchoz and Sami in our eyes....

How come Carragher didn't make it into the squad then?

Perhaps SGE thinks his offensive failings are too big a hindrance?
Tho he saw his assist for Heskey's excellent goal last night...

Let's check the said game:
Man United's shaky defence conceded one goal
Liverpool's Sami et al conceded four

Our defence had a rare lapse..
OG has similar rare decent games..

Brown has played well in every game since his return, apart from the game Vs Bayer when his passing was poor. Don't you agree?

<strong>Davo, if we played with 11 behind the ball for the majority of games I'm pretty sure that Blanc and Brown would look good. Not saying that Blanc and Brown are better or worse, but you must see that a way our team plays is going to leave our defenders more exposed than yours will ever be.

I agree to a certain extent, but you'll have to agree with the implications of what you say: if we would play more people in front of the ball, Murphy, Heskey and Owen would look much better as well... since they wouldnt have to chase the ball all the time and would get to play football...

For starters, if you would play more people infront of the ball and not as defensive Heskey and Murphy wouldn't be playing.

Oh I agree our style helps our defenders...
But how often do you see them feck up big time?
They're simply brilliant defenders...

When did he return?
If you think he defended well against Bayer.....well

He returned against Leiecester
What did he do wrong defensive wise vs Bayer?

He struggled to contain Ze Roberto and Placente...
You looked far more "secure" when Irwin came on...
Next season will be a big season for OG..
If he makes your team

Ze Roberto hardly had a kick all game!. Placente did cause problems but only because Scholes tucked in too much and never defended or attacked against him too much.

because he has got to have a knee operation.

He's even worse there than at CB..

I don't - I hope we play him at CB - as he can become a very good CB, as he's proved the last month or so
