More backheels required then? Some stepovers? Some MEGS?

 

I hate the way he doesn't support the attacks and leaves Gerrard isolated.

 

Not getting any better either.

Top top player. Wasn't long ago people on here whNTED HIM OUT.

Solid at the back

 

Good with both feet

Chooses his runs forward well

Can cross

No fuss ever

Consistant

Great in build up

Doesn't panic

 

He's a Carlsberg RB.

I remember someone saying Kromkamp will offer him competition and might make him a better player, but i can't recall anyone saying finnan should be sold or replaced

to be fair he didn't have a great first season, and he was on the verge of leaving when rafa took over, but he has excelled under rafa

Does anyone else share my opinion?

 

I think Finnan is way below the standard required. His crossing and general distribution are woeful, he struggles in the air and is caught out of position frequently.

 

Befroe people start telling me that form is temporary and class is pemanent this lad never had any class. He flattered to decieve last term and it worries me that we have no cover for his position.

 

Between him and Pennant, Liverpool's right flank is as poor as it has been for many years.

When Rafa took over, Finnan was being touted around for 2 million. Spurs wanted him but wouldn't pay the asking price believe it or not. The money was going to buy Joey Barton.

That was the first time I thought Rafa was wrong to be honest. He was willing to let him go without really getting to know him.

 

Luckily for everyone Finnan turned it around.

 

Joey Barton....Whew.

To be fair Unclebob was rightly ridiculed into oblivion after starting that thread by most of us, and hasn't been seen since.

 

Democracy works, and Finnan is one of the best right-backs in Europe...:thumbs:

So without causing hassle what was Rafa's gripe?

At the time I was amazed!

ill openly admit, after his first season, i thought he was crap, there was talk of him going to Everton

 

anyway, he played for Ireland against Croati on the wednesday, the following day i flew to Liverpool for the weekend and to watch our first game of the season under Rafa, he was on the same flight, and i DIDNT get his autograph, as i thought he was s***

 

im still kicking myself ;)

he was highly rated based on his performances for Fulham the season before, got in the premiership team of the seaso if I recall correctly - it could have been the settling in period at Liverpool, who knows. Glad someone, whether Rafa or others reluctance to pay the fee left him here.

 

Either way he's doing alright now.

Steve Finnan is absolutely f***ing incredibly sensationally, unbelieveably, Grade A Material...

 

This guy has played in every division, played in every competition, World Cup included...

 

Got 2 Medals to his name 4 Medals to his name including the European cup...With us

 

and I for one cannot think of a right back around Europe who can say that...

Finnan is a Rafa type player. He's a machine. Does he job effectively with no fuss. Team man. He should be on some of our set pieces, he can some great balls in, as you saw tonight.
