ged you just believe in hype..you bought into the whole english media thing about how brilliant fergie was for buying carrick and you think he is a top midfield player when he is a joke. and alves is not even in the best 20 right backs in the world -infact he is not a right back cause he can't defend. he has been found out at barca,lost his brazil place and is in fact crap,did you not see him against chelsea.
gerrrard is a forward now that's were he plays, and he is golden in that position ,he has developed into the best finisher in world football,better even than nando the only player i could imagine starting ahead of him would be kaka but he doesn't have the aggression stevie does. you best eleven would be carrick,alves some other media hyped player other than a liverpool one- probably deco at the start of last season
Please dont be silly saying Carrick is a joke, the man has won 3 league titles and a Champions league in the last 4 seasons and you dont do that if your a joke, he plays central midfield for the best team on the plannet at present, never mind that they got beat by Barca they are still the best team wether we like it or not. Daniel Alvez is a modern day full back in that he attacks better than he can defend so dont give me this rubbish about he cant defend according to your logic Cafu and Roberto Carlos were rubbish as well because they were better going forward than defending as well. I told you before Steven Gerarrd can get away with playing up front most games but he is no forward, if I asked you to name all his strenghths they would all be qualities a midfielder has tackling, passing, driving forward and scoring goals from outside the box, Gerarrd and Torres are fantastic players but both have not achieved enough in the game to warrant the world class tag am afraid.
