JC every team needs a birchall, relatively speaking he isnt as good technically as other players but he works his socks off. Manchester had Park, Chelsea and Brazil have Ramires and Netherlands have Kuyt. All of these players are really nowhere as good as their teammates technically but their work rate makes them valuable especially in a team like ours that is plagued by laziness.
Isn't that what bleeder iz?? he's not the best technically, but he works for the team.
IMO bleeder is sort of like a dean white head, rory delap, glen whelan, obi mikel, abu diabi or lee catermole type player, they are not pretty to watch and they don't have the world of speed, but they fill that midfield and serve a purpose.
this is why bleeder did not feature on latapy's team, that's bc he had trent noel who was more of a work horse and was way more skillfull yet did the same job bleeder.
he filled that midfield and controlled the tempo just as good as trent, even though trent was a far better more skilfull baller, yet all i could see is more attacks on bleeder than birchall and IMO that's fackin hypocritical! when birchall loses the ball more than bleeder especially when we are building in the attack yet ppl only talk about how much of a great ball winner and clean up man he is, but no one talks about what a great passer and tempo regulator bleeder has been!
