England were absolutely dire - no imagination - no technique - route one football in total abysmal failure. They were lucky to lose by one. Oh... and by the way... Shelvey was judged as 'flop of the match' by more than one paper. Why am I surprised? That lad has gone backwards since breaking into our first team and getting a full England cap.
Nice stas comparison of Henderson vs Verratti:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footbal...drea-Pirlo.htmlJust shows how woefully inadequate he is.
Didnt think there was as big a gap in the stats as to be described as "woefully inadequate". The statement becomes even more ridiculous when you consider its based on just one game and even more so when you realise Hendo by no means had a "nightmare game"
You could also use the arguement that you are only as good as the players around you and that Verratti was playing in a better team than Hendo so he will of course have it easier.
I also notice that the stats listed are all passing stats. Do they still have shooting stats? Or tackling stats? If so why havent they used them? I mean these are all key attributes of a midfielder so surely its important to display how Verratti is so much better in all these areas? Why havent they? The only reason I can think of is that he wasnt? No, but surely thats not the case? Of course Verratti was vastly superior to Hendo in all these areas but the media have choosen not to show them as not to damage Jordans reputation too much (theyre considerate like that

)
Anyway its not like this Verratti guy is being touted as if hes the future Pirlo, hes just some bum who Hendo should easily outshine if he wants to be so much as a decent championship player right? Oh no wait, what do you know, he IS being touted as a future Pirlo!

Fcking hell Carheex stop trying to pull this sh!t! You come on here with some passing stats of some young kid that are only slightly better than Hendos and is being touted as the next big thing in an attempt to make Hendo look bad? fck right off!
I am sick to death of this anti Hendo agenda you have, especially because you dont have any real evidence to back it up. (as you've just shown) Quite frankly you're embarrassing yourself, youre embarrassing the koptalk community, but most importantly.....YOU'RE EMBARRASSING ME!
Now I could sit here all night and argue Hendo with you, but I believe that the most incriminating Hendo stat is that I asked you to find me some stats which made Hendo look bad and it took you a week to reply! What does that say big man?
