Passes count more than goals now?

You'll be top of the 'possession table' next year.. to go along with that 'table since Christmas 2011' and 'best strike rate of a foreigner in their first season' shiz...

Coming from a bluenose? Didn't you lot follow the "if referees made the right call league"?

Who said passes count more than goals? I said if he could pass, his goals wouldn't have been needed as much he'd have been able to set up goals. He was a limited player overall, yet people go on about him as though he's a Premier League great.

Nah, I think you just made the Everton one up. Kopites pick and chose last year over "if we hadn't dropped all those points too poor sides earlier on in the season we'd be 3rd/4th/5th right now!" or "if all those shots we had that hit the woodwork had gone in we'd be 3rd/ 4th/ 5th right now!" http://forums.liverpoolfc.com/archive/i ... 02673.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... place.html http://thepowerofgoals.blogspot.co.uk/2 ... rpool.html

When are someone's goals not needed?

Nobody has ever claimed Cahill was the complete player but he was very good at the things he could do. Play to your strengths and all that. He was great at scoring against Liverpool that's for sure. Maybe that's why you dismiss his ability so much.

Someone's goals aren't needed when a side is three/four up, that's just cushioning. You're basically agreeing with me as you say he just played to his strengths. He was an attacking midfielder that wasn't very good at a lot of things in attack, he could head and finish inside the box, a bit like a 'fox in the box' if you will, yet he played in the hole and offered very little creatively or tactically. As a midfielder, he was pretty average IMO.

I don't even know - or care - what his record is against us. I'm just offering my views on a player I think has been grossly overrated by the media and fans alike.

Nice to see both GB teams giving it to their South American scumbag opponents
