Good player he is. Mark you're wrong about his ability mate. Simple as that, technically and tactically he's as good if not SLIGHTLY better than Gerrard.

However his attitude's a disgrace and physically he's average at best. He's also never in a million years a right sided midfielder, he's a central midfielder.

no stu, if you read your comments you clear say that he is as good if not better.....

Now show me where i said Joey Barton was a better player than Steven Gerrard you tool.

mark the red wrote:proper whoppas thread.  i think barton is too much of a loose cannon to be considered by rafa, the way he has acted at city is disgusting, the way they have stood by him over all the aggro he has caused, attacking some YTS lad with a cigar, breaking richard dunn's foot as well while barneying in thailand. the lad is trouble and for me he is not an improvement on anything we have in our midfield and would only be a fringe/rotation player when you think of us having gerrard, xabi alonso, momo sissoko, hamman who do a similar job and play a similar role to what he does.

i think barton will get found out at a big club, i dont think he is good enough to be considered for us or even the mancs.  although he is a battler and gives his all, and i respect as a player for that, but for liverpool he will rock the boat

So Barton is in my opinion SLIGHTLY better than Gerrard in both a tactical and technical sense... now where did i say Joey Barton is a better footballer than Steven Gerrard or is in the same class? No go on... again i'll ask, where have i ever said Joey Barton was anything more than an excellent player, where did i ever call him class or world class?

Where did i say he was a better footballer than Steven Gerrard?

omg, i give up....stu, how old are you?  really...if you're a day over 14 i'd be surprised.   

stu_the_red wrote:You give up?

Is that because i haven't actually said what you wanted me too?

Well, let me point out that in football, there is alot more to the game than tactical and technical ability. IE physical ability and mental ability.

Owned! Nuff said.

stu, are you being ironic when you're trying to discuss mental ability? 

come on, how old are you?

Face it, you've just suckered yourself into an arguement and are completely wrong... its there for everyone to laugh at...
