Xabi Alonso

[thaipool]

I first went to Anfield when i was 6 with my brother who was 11 years older than me, he was 17. Now i'm 43 and hes 54. Anybody who can have a dig at Xabi Alonso doesn't know football because all that time we've supported the reds in our opinion he's one of the best midfeilders to wear a liverpool shirt. How anybody can have a dig at the Xabi is beyond my comprhension. He tracks back, he goes up for headers, he tackles and he reads the game better than the many liverpool midfeilders past and present could ever dream of. In fact my brother was at the battle of Tournias on the way back from rome in 77' and think how better he would of been in those days.

well said he personifies what a midfielder / footballer is for me. I know he's been off and on this season but he's truly oustanding and plays the game how it should be played

We got beat by the mancs and people are pissed. Thats all!

I made a reference to Xabi on the Mancs ratings thread having a poor season - but let me make it clear form is temporary and class is permanent. And Xabi is class.

I'm pissed now but i know a natural footballer when i see one.

Maybe he is having a poor season below his standars but he's dtill the one who shines for me.

His poor games are the equivalent of good for other mere mortals, his good games are the equivalent of outstanding for others, his outstanding games are rarely touched by other mere mortals....in essence a true living genius imo.
