Footballers you love watching.

Gerrard for me was the best player to watch, had every thing. I hate the narrative of bellends who tell me he lacked "tactical intelligence". The guy was just magic, best passer of a ball I've seen both long and short, the speed of how he'd fizz it into somebodies feet. His crossing was a fucking joke, undefendable at times. Unbelievable in the air, the best shooter of all ball I've seen in England. His ability to dovetail with top players, it was just telepathic at times. What a fucking ridiculous player Steven was.

Negged for using the N-word.

Neggaz with attitudes

[Remmie]

Asprilla, Batistuta, Hagi, Okocha, Ortega (admittedly based purely on 1 match), Wanchope, Yeboah, the proper Ronaldo, Zola and Matthaus. 

 

Find pictures yourself, I can't be arsed. 

 

John Barnes is the reason I support Liverpool, he can never be surpassed.

I like watching the Brazilian national women's team but I am not showing you the footage as the judge warned me against doing so!

Same with me and Barnes. He’s the reason I support Liverpool and not Everton like my dad. Plus the inexplicable decision for him to take me to Anfield at the age of 5 to watch us v Spurs. Digger scored the only goal. I was in love. My dad still goes on about his annoyance with himself at doing that to this day.

 

That Davie Cooper is someone I’ve never heard of before now, somehow! He looked like the white Aldi John Barnes in that clip TK posted. Liked him a lot.

Vieira was superb to watch too. The term “box-to-box midfielder” was invented to describe him as a footballer.

I thought Bryan Robson was the box to box forebearer?

+ Nasri, Pastore, Mane and Zaha. That would be my top 5. I like unpredictable, mercurial players.

You hate to see it.

Penalty box to coffin were his boxes. He made Lallana look like a 50 game a season man.

I always wanted us to sign him in his prime. Fantastic footballer he was. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Henry and Bergkamp.

 

I also used to enjoy the languid grace of Kanu.

Lothar Matthăus was the player Robson was supposed to be.

Jordan Pickford myself

Yeah, that’s a good shout, but my point was that the phrase “box to box” wasn’t created for Vieira I don’t think.

[3 Stacks]

Came at the expense of Liverpool, but Yaya Toure in 13-14 was unbelievable to watch. The quality of goals he scored that year was ridiculous.

[Bjornebye]

Klinsmann at Anfield when Spurs knocked us out the cup was a sight to behold. he was unreal that day, arguably the best single performance I have witnessed against us in the flesh. 

 

I saw Crespo for Chelsea against Portsmouth at Fratton Park years ago too and he was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. Oozed class. I'm surprise he didn't do better in the Premier league. 

 

Most won't know him but Lubomir Moravcik for Celtic was a great player. Signed him when he was about 33 I think and got 2 amazing years out of him. Absolute magician. 

 

 

I remember loving watching a few players in Euro 96. Berger, Poborksy, Lacatus, Bierhoff, Gazza..... All proper boss in that tournament. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Zidane the way he ran with the ball, the way he could pass it or strike it. When I picture him i just see his silhouette against an African sun, his shadow dancing in the deep red hues as he nutmegs a lion and takes the piss out of a giraffe.

[Pureblood]

This one is amnesty material... Neymar.  Yeah, yeah.  But I like watching him humiliate the opposition and generally do stuff that belongs on the beach/playground/five-a-side.  

[cloggypop]

Brazil 1982. All of them. 

[No2]

Small tricky players that aren't particularly fast seem to be a thing of the past. Players like Beardsley, Houghton, Merson, Strachan, if they were starting out now I don't think they would make it. I loved Beardsley, very under rated player.
