I'm marginally disappointed more don't remember Babbel. He was as good as it gets that season, and losing him to illness was a key part in failing to build on success of 00/01, even if the purchases of Diouf/Diao/Cheyrou doomed the team more.natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043601945557998732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-73886683380110614542009-11-28T13:01:13.010-05:002009-11-28T13:01:13.010-05:00Definitely Babbel.Definitely Babbel.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-19378325901129364242009-11-27T20:03:28.888-05:002009-11-27T20:03:28.888-05:00Folks are greatly underestimating how good Babbel ...Folks are greatly underestimating how good Babbel was before he got sick. We'd never have needed Finnan if Babbel hadn't contracted a freakishly rare virus.<br /><br />Finnan might shade it on steadiness and number of games in the red shirt, and I certainly hope Johnson will be our right-back on the best XI of next decade, but I can't overlook how consistently brilliant he was in his time here.<br /><br />Apropos of the derby:<br />http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=6646657196604837621<br /><br />(Without that goal, Gary Mac doesn't get a crack on goal from 40 yards out)drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16041903590665426891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-56279043522230580692009-11-27T16:26:49.141-05:002009-11-27T16:26:49.141-05:00If the formation was 4-4-2, i would have chosen Fi...If the formation was 4-4-2, i would have chosen Finnan. But since its 4-2-3-1, i would like to see some overlapping, and there is no one better than Glen Johnson, who has the potential to make as big an impact, if not bigger, as Rob Jones.Shaun Lohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414959462139843400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-3527672851413732692009-11-27T07:24:33.143-05:002009-11-27T07:24:33.143-05:00i'd back Finnan too.

Arby comes close, I certainly have a soft spot for him and he he def. had a superb season just before he left to sit on the madrid bench, but Finnan was calm, steady and an utter rock during his time at Liverpool. Its true that he wasn't too help in attack but you have to bear in mind that with Riise on the other flank, who wasn't exactly a flying brazillian fullback but def. offered a considerable goal threat, this wasn't such a negative as it might seem.ngAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798500411641304683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-58433702359135010372009-11-26T23:58:45.042-05:002009-11-26T23:58:45.042-05:00Finnan.
