McManaman

[Big E]

Just watched the first 4-3 with newcastle. A top form McManaman in this side would be awesome

 

 

oh for a great winger

[Cooger]

For sure on top form he would certianly be an asset. I always thought he worked best in a 'free role' under Evans, usually the 3-5-2 behind Fowler and Collymore. On the right he'd roam and although effective going forward I wouldn't have liked to be the right back behind him.

[Magic8Ball]

He could run with the ball (which is something we lack) but I never thought his crossing was any good

well not for Liverpool

 

His goal against Celtic shows what we are missing now - someone who can run with the ball, commit defenders and force errors

as well as cross accurately

So who's place would he take? Gerrard's, Alonso's, momo's?

[Cheesecake]

Pennants I would have thought...

[Guest Cameron]

Yeah a young McManaman would be great for the current team! As would a young Fowler.

[bigdave50uk]

Pennants I would have thought...

 

What and play 352? I don't think pennant or macca in his day would give enough protection in that formation. With someone like mcmanaman you need a right back behind him so you could only play 442 or 451, and 451 wouldn't be attacking enough at home imho

true we need a poacher like a Fowler or a Rush. Not something any of our forwards currenly give us that.

Mind you not many teams seem to play with someone who could be described as a 'goal poaching specialist' these days. The emphasis seems to be on the all-rounder types who score goals but dont necessaerily 'poach' if you know what I mean.

Do-doo-de-do-do

[Guest Kev]

He's on SoccerAM tomorrow.

[floyd the barber]

fantastic player and try as we have....never been replaced.

[sean]

A great servant to the club too.

[Guest monagans]

steve mc moneyman was a great player but shafted the club over money. Sorry way to end his anfield career

[Paul B]

He's about to come on "Saccer AM", if you're into that, people.

[anny road]

isnt he a rabid blue again now?

[Cobs]

nahhhhh

 

 

 

but lets slag him anyway !

[floyd]

isnt he a rabid blue again now?

A fat lad once said

Once a blue, always a blue

Amen to that!

[floyd the barber]

here we go again...

 

he didnt shaft the club..

 

we tried to sell him to barca behind his back......macca never wanted to leave us as i believe his mother was seriously ill at the time...he was then offered a certain package to stay, then macca went to agree to the conditions, yet we completely changed the package...he had no fecking choice but to leave.

 

Bad work by our men upstairs again...as seen by this deal and again with the owen mess

[Guest Anders Honoré]

if we had macmanaman on top of his game, he would play on the right. Stevie, xabi and momo would just have to battle for central places, with momo being the odd one out I'd estimate.

 

He was a great player in his day.

[floyd the barber]

oh and might i add the recent gerrard mess too..

 

thats 3 of our greatest players of the past 15 years, dealt with like an amateur buisness...

[Red_Rob]

And look how well they're handling that takeover.....

[anny road]

yyyaaaaaawwwwnnnnnnnn

[johngibo YPC]

Yeah mcmanaman only left for money. Oh and those two European cups he won. But it was defo the money

[Dog]

Great player?

 

Biggest waste of talent ever. A truly gifted player who would pass backwards 9 times out of 10.

Used to pull my hair out when he had the ball. Was better than any opposition defenders at breaking up an attacking move or allowing time for the defence to get back.

One or two wonder moments do not make him a great player.

 

Everyone could see his potential but he never realised it. Damn frustrating and I was glad to see him go.
