Hamman was a great player cool what you talking about ? The number of times he would break up the oppositions attack not good to watch but essential far better than say Lucas in class. Mascara iPad can't spell was another great player.
Just opinions but those are mine
stanley, our woeful style of play under Houllier was mainly down to the boring, negative Hamann, every pass was sideways and back. I can always remember us having plenty of pace in the team and it was all nullified due to the team having to play at Hamann's pedestrian pace, he ran like he had just sh*t himself. I do give him credit in that he did break up the play quite well but unfortunately for us you only got the best out of him when we were under pressure or the opposition had the ball so seeing as for most games we played we dominated possession with him in the team we were always a man light when we attacked, he only excelled at places like Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge and Highbury. The dirty little Argie Mascherano was worse as he was a liability because he was so reckless tackling, both these types of players should never of been let near our club, there is no place for them boring, negative styles in the modern game especialy when u haven't been able to tackle for nearly 15 years.
