I have to agree with Liveranytime (did I get the name correct?) regarding Gilberto Silva at Arsenal. This guy is really untypical of the normal outlook one would have of Brazillians. He plays defensive most of the time and in tandem with the departed Viera, he sits there and let Viera foray forward. Gilberto is very skillful (he is showing more of his skills this season in the 2 games I have seen him - perhaps having a bit more freedom?), yet so understated and disciplined at defensive midfield. He has been the best Brazillian in English football by a long mile.
Arsenal really missed him last season. Such an unsung player, just like Ronnie Whelan. You'd really miss Whelan when he is absent, yet he is taken for granted for so much of the time. Whelan's abilities shade Hamann's anytime anyday, and this is not to say that Hamann not a good player, but how good Whelan was. The younger fans may not have a clue but try to look at past archives if you can and you will know what I am talking about.

I totally agree. Souness has to be the worst manager opperating in the Premiership today. His history of alienating players like Yorke, Cole and Robert, the Bowyer/Dyer thing, his relasionship with Bellamy and his consistant poor form. His tactics are too rigid, he doesn't know how to buy players and blind arrogance seems to be his only weapon. I can't see him lasting the season, and if he starts to crumble quickly, I can't see him making X-mas.
Newcastle gave up on Robson after a couple of bad results and paniced into buying Souness. At least Robson had the power to inspire his players and shop well in the market. Souness is trying to bluff his way through managment because he is such a bad pundit and he craves the limelight. Considering how good he was on the pitch, it's almost depressing to see how bad of a manager he is now.
