i got into an argument with a friend of mine the other day. he was saying that he thought it was about time that liverpool were looking to replace dietmar hamann. i had to disagree with him for several reasons.
Hamman has been brilliant for us since coming back from injury. He's never been the kind of player that runs round like a headless chicken. His skill is in reading the game and keeping things simple. Watch how many times during a game he passes to a red shirt.
He's brilliant at stopping the opposition and has to be one of the best players in the league at "winning" free kicks.
also, chasing the opposition and closing them down is what he does for most of the 90 mins!!
ok the guy may be 30 but he is still top class and allows gerrard to excel and get forward more. he's a vital cog in our machine. definitely one of houlliers best signings. rumours are that he wants to finish his career in germany but ithink we can still get 2 seasons out of him. what do you reckon about hamann?
