Decent Scouse Players

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I've heard a few people bemoaning the lack of Scousers in our squad.  Until (unless?) Flanno gets well soon, we're a shower of OOTs, aren't we.  I'm not convinced that it matters that much, to be honest - I like good, committed players, regardless of where they come from - but it got me thinking about the dearth of decent current Scouse players.

 

Obviously there's Spudhead up the road and Leighton Baines next door, but beyond that how far do we have to go before we're scraping the Nolan and Barton barrel?

 

How many current Scousers would actually improve our squad.

 

 

 

NB - This is a thread about players, not managers!

Doesn't bother me except the crowd are more likely to get behind them rather than on their backs when things aren't going well. It's also a pleasing thing to see the club generate it's own stars cheaply (before they eventually leave for more ambitious clubs and better pay).

 

The crowd can really propel players they choose to get behind, look at Mark Noble playing for West Ham last night, playing really well, buzzing off the crowd affection. I wish crowds focused on trying to lift all the players to play better really.

Anton rodgers.

Anton rodgers.

Why I oughtta....

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I've just remembered Ross Barkley.

 

So far our Scouse XI is lining up as

 

                     ?

Flannagan  ?  ?  Baines

?  Barkley  ?  ?

              ? Rooney

 

I'm sure we could have done better, going back a few years.

[Jairzinho]

Scott Dann probably has to play at CB.

[Jairzinho]

Craig Noone.

 

Hang on a sec, I've just fallen in the barrel.

 

Not all that surprising really. Only about a quarter of players in the Premier League are English, and English players don't play abroad. So having about 4/5 decent players from one big city, sadly, is probably about average.

We can pair him up with that tate guy and lovren, ashley williams and when rodgers finally lands vorm we can put mignolet up front where his real calling is where his horribly snuffed shanked shinrollers will fool any goalkeeper and centre-back it would be like having ian rush and toshack rolled into one. I fucking hate lovren not sure if ive ever hated anyone like this, even babb and scales, harkness matteo, kvarme had their endearing qualities. Mark wright was a despicable wife beating injury prone southport managing wanker but he had a few decent games and only possessed half the foolish capacity as lovren, an amalgramation of tim love joy and wren bathrooms his whole name is a warning about one day in jan lovejoy went to wren bathrooms and some disaster will result leaving us all clinging by our nails to the floor like a vertigo suffering having an epileptic fit with loads of mancs are running past celebrating some long forgotten thing called a goal. Run home jack.

Jonathan Walters. *runs for cover*

Haha, I was just about to post that, word for word!

[Denny Crane]

Cresswell at West Ham has been on the winning side against us a few times.

 

That normally merits a bid alone from us.

 

He was on our books as a a kid.

[El Dangerous]

Chedwyn is from Rhyl, does that count?

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Lee Trundle is only 38 and still coaching at.....................Swansea. Bring him out of retirement and bring him home. As it's Swansea and Brendan a 10m bid should do the trick. We then sell them Coutinho for 5m.

[Bjornebye]

Carl Baker, Callum McManaman ..... None good enough for us like. You are right. A bit of a vacuum of scouse talent. Pete Price is to blame the fucking ball sucking lizard. "0151....."

[Section_31]

Doesn't bother me, virtually all English players are shite - let alone scouse ones. 

 

I'm not that sold on the idea of local players being more committed either. Gerrard would have been boss wherever he was, and Carragher would have been a committed player no matter where too. 

[G Richards]

I've watched how we play and I think I can improve it. Bit slow and overweight these days, but the touch and vision are still there. Can pass or shoot off either foot. 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately I'm busy on Sundays.

I think it matters a lot, but they must be good enough before anything else. I think Scousers understand the fans better because they're exactly the same as them. Consequently they rarely if ever give less than 100%.

He would be an upgrade on our current options at left back

[Boss]

Baines and Barkley are certainly good enough for us. Barre that Wazza as much as i hate him would improve us. Dann possibly as a backup central defender. I always thought Steven Warnock was a decent player as well but he's well past it now.

Warnock? This thread is about Scouse footballers.

[Boss]

Ormskirk, close enough. To be honest i thought he was scouse.

[Tony Moanero]

Ormskirk, close enough.

Not close enough.

[Jairzinho]

Are you from fucking Wigan?
