Darren Fletcher is your quintessential ham and egger
There was plenty of lads, who, with a straight face, were claiming he would have dominated prime Xavi, Busquets and Iniesta (the 3 best Spanish midfielders of their generation outside of Alonso) if he’d been available for the 2009 Champions League Final ![]()
James Milner
Ah he has a good rapport with ally in fairness
Disagree - all too often shoved out wide to be an industrious winger. But was excellent for Villa when played centrally with the team playing through him - City bought him off the back of that good run and shoved him out wide again - he had plenty of dribbling and technical ability to go with his high effort.
Ham and eggers aren’t generally very good penalty takers either
Donncha O’Callaghan
Bonnar Maher
Controversial, that’s a hall of famer mate
Redser with better PR
Agreed.
Milner was very skillful and well able to beat a man in the early part of his career.
The fact he reinvented himself 2 or 3 times over his career shows how much of a top player he really is. Very few can do that.
Yet still a poor mans Gareth Barry.
John Obi Mikel
Carrick?
I think Rice is just outside ham n egg territory but not too far - he’s almost touching the border. His set pieces have come on and he’s added a small few goals…but he’s such a plodder on the ball. I’ve yet to see him do anything in a big game.
I was thinking Carrick myself.
McTominay was in there too until he became the best player in Serie A.
Isak could potentially be a ham and egger in the Lads who are currently being overrated and are really just average category
Rice is flat track bully, probably a step above a ham and egger but nowhere near Rodri, Fabinho, Toure etc.
Stop it now
Isak is a tremendous shout, I don’t like his physique for a top player
Yeah, he looks brittle as fuck
