Re: Truly awful players

Im not going to comment on McGrath because there is no comparison. Im not saying Hyppia was always as bad as he is now, obviously a few years a go he was able to a decent job, never to the level of McGrath, but its his performances of today that are the reason I put him on here.

Hey Farmer,

If Hyppia was Norwegian what would you say then?

If Hyypia was Norwegian he would be shit and we wouldnt be having this debate.

To reitterate my point once again:

Hyypia gets a lot of stick in the media due to his lack of pace. Flano went as far as to write him off as a truly awful player. Pace is surely important for a defender but not the be-all-and-end-all. This point has been proven by Paul McGrath. So much of defending is about being able to read the game, which Hyypia is superb at.

Can I also remind Flano that Hyypia was part of a defence that kept 29 clean sheets last year? What do you have to say about that?

Remember that the next time you are reading the Evening Herald
