Jase 43,479 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The criteria to be captain:- world class player- good leadership- speaks decent EnglishCahill only lacks the firstDisagree. The second aspect is questionable as well. Henrique and Amblève. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike 373 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The criteria to be captain:- world class player- good leadership- speaks decent EnglishCahill only lacks the firstnot national teams these days....However, I would prefer option 2 and 3 as musts, but the first one is not neccessary to be captain.. Better wording for option 2 would be leadership/strong mentality. Another must would be Outfield player/starting 11 player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufilika 101 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I think Cahill will never be able to get rid of the backing off backwards thing as attackers square off against him. I get nightmares whenever an attacker decides to run at him. kellzfresh and The Chels 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I think he's the weak link in our defense.Guy ain't that good.So we will have a problem when Terry gone because he ain't world class.I'm not sure if weak link would be the right word..but as usual, (and this has been stated many times before) he kept backing away from his opponent, this time with Campbell.He allowed Campbell to run into the penalty box where it becomes to dangerous to put in a tackle. He could have scored if his shot had been on target in the first half.Thing is, his role is to be covering defender for JT and he does a decent enough job of mopping up with his last ditch tackles and clearances. Once JT's time is over with the team, we will need some one in a similar mold to be the replacement, because its certainly not going to be Cahill.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 You don't have to be a world class player to be an amazing captain.. look at Roy Keane. Keane wasn't world class perhaps, but he was still a very, very, very good player, and also his leadership qualities were always far better than Cahill's were.

Beigl 1,387 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Why didn't get the World-class tackle to deny Campbell a free-shot on goal from 14 metres any recognition here?Thought it was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 You could argue perhaps he could have been tighter on Fellaini for the first ball in the build up to their goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 You could argue perhaps he could have been tighter on Fellaini for the first ball in the build up to their goal. Understatement of the month, that! I'm gonna go with he didn't know/forgot that he was supposed to be marking Fellaini after Iva went off. Free header from 8 yards out. What a stop by Thibaut!

Stats 7,142 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Last year people said Cahill was the best CB in the EPL.I said it was the system.I wonder what people think now of cahill.I still think he is up there. Thought he was quality once again today. It is something that most fans seem to do in terms of being harsh on our players. Other fans and pundits see different. For instance earlier in the match, the commentator said something down the lines of "Cahill has really turned into an excellent all round CB". But basically giving him huge compliments.Despite his flaws he is one of my favourite players. Think he is a quality CB. Reminds me of Koscielny. Both rash, like to play a bit on the ball but both are quality defenders. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster as well.I rate them about the same. Cahill times his tackles to perfection most times while Koscielny is a bit more rash and concedes penalties much more often.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 You don't have to be a world class player to be an amazing captain.. look at Roy Keane. Roy Keane wasn't world class? I'm sorry this is the guy who was assigned to man mark Zinedine Zidane... fucking Zizou of all people... and did very, very well, nulifiying him which was a big big factor as to how United beat Juventus and got to the Champions League final. Roy Keane was definitely a world class footballer in those days. Anyway about time Gary scored a goal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
