Blackburn Appoint Shebby Singh as their DoF

Former Malaysian Defender, current pundit at ESPN Asia, He has played against the likes of Bayern Munich, Hamburg SV, Aston Villa and Newcastle. He was rated Man of The Match when facing Shrewsbury Town.



His latest quote: "Steven Gerrard's best position is RB"

This guy makes Steve Kean look like Sacchi

Won't be surprised if Blackburn are relegated to league 1. What a clownfest

You really shouldn't quote something that isn't a quote, it can get you in trouble.

The actual quote (which is, IMO, worse): "I think that Steven Gerrard is a poor passer so he should play at right back..I think thats the best position for him."

he is among the worst pundits in the world after budgie and palmer, its a sheer pain watching those prematch shows for asian audiences , prime example is that stevie g quote..

oh lol

Budgie is crap, but Palmer is decent i think. He does get some calls right.

those calls are right by fluke man , he is an utter idiot .. some of his quotes are so full of fallacies and utterly biased its not even funny ..

Yeah, maybe. I have not watched him this season at all. I think he has decent tactical knowledge from what i have seen of him. But, yeah, he has his moments.

i try to avoid it whenever i can too, but whenever i do have to watch ten action these guys never fall short of entertaining me .. i think he has great tactical knowledge either.. i mean all eh does is at half time talk about player positioning in a couple of videos, most posters on GL would be able to do that offence intended..

Yeah, most posters at GL do have decent tactical knowledge. Obviously he is not a Rafa who gives solid insights. I just think there are worse pundits than Palmer, lot worse. Like Budgie for example. That guy is just a clown.

haha true on both accounts.. people here actually know their stuff , most of them do at least..:p

and yeah, who the hell made budgie a pundit anyway, guy thinks he was the best goal keeper of all time or something..

Venky's know it's possible to get relegated from Championship, or do they?

just

Maybe they want to relegate them down enough so tickets prices are low and cheap Indian fans come and watch

I remember one of Gerrard's earlier positions (and I mean early) was right back so it won't be totally alien to him. Other than that (using the real quote), he is talking madness upon madness...

Actually this was the same guy who said Benitez is turning Gerrard into an average player when he played him at Right-Midfield position in 2006 and went with Sissoko-Alonso in midfield..He was right on that count though.Usually not as biased as some other Englishmen in the panel when it comes to PL teams.

But this comment is utterly stupid..Dont know where this came from.

You think you have some high standards or something..?

He's had a whole football professional career behind him FFS and i agree with Kiran when it comes to actual football and tactical know-how he is pretty good though he is one biased and deluded idiot which is why i avoid watching that show.

Gerrard scored 23 goals from RM that season, we got 83 points in the league (record at the time), and won the FA Cup.

Really really stupid move that

Wouldnt you agree that Gerrard's best position is in the centre as opposed to the right ?

Surag wrote:Wouldnt you agree that Gerrard's best position is in the centre as opposed to the right ?

Gerrard's best position is Central Attacking Midfielder. Where he played in 2008-09 and was fantastic there.

His most profilic season to date, which bettered his record of 05-06 season where he played RM.

I think Gerrard needs freedom to roam around burst forward, etc..and hence disciplined CM role limits his impact on the game. Now that he is old, he should play there as he's lost some of his burst of pace to play the high energy CAM role though.

Thing is, in 05-06 we were more of a 4-4-2 team with Crouch and Cisse and if we are playing 4-4-2, then Gerrard-Alonso as 2 CMs lack defensive balance, and hence Gerrard was moved outwide and was a success there.

Mind you, don't judge Sissoko on his Juve period, he was an absolute beast for us in 05-06 season when we barely conceded a goal and went on a 10 game winning steak. Sadly, he got an eye injury and was never the same player after that.
