I'm with Ricardo on this one. Leaving aside the fact he's in my fantasy football team - Last season, 3rd best central defender in the Premiership behind Terry and Carragher. He's pacy, can pass well, got a good head on him and tackles like a demon. He's better than William Gallas.
Not that I'm saying Gallas is a bad defender, far from it. I'd love it if his rumoured transfer to 'Pool had actually happened. But he's not as good as Carvalho, not by a long shot.
So, me and Carvalho are united in our confusion at the tactics of Jose.If it was just to give Gallas some playing time so he'd stop crying like a big Gallic baby all the time, I'd understand. But (1) He'd have told Carvalho and (2) Jose doesn't pander to player's whiney little protests, good man.
So, I ask you, why has he been dropped? I want clean sheet points. Carvalho, my friend, I must transfer you from my team. But I love Portugal, I have been there many times. You shall be straight back once Jose stops taking the crazy Francophile pills.
In the mean time...make your cases for my team, messers Del Horno/Carragher/Ashley Cole

Yep, I think they now have about 12 players who speak Portuguese, I wonder how well they'll do.

:O You know about the legendary Eusebio too? You are the god. I was talking to a mate yesterday who is into football a lot but I was shocked when I mentioned Eusebio and he replied with "who?" I cried :(

No, I was saying it wasn't too hard to keep a clean sheet against a toothless side who would spend the match defending - which they did.

You'd say 'yes please' but you think he's awful? Do you apply this logic to the women in your life?

Portugal fan deep down eh? Pfft...how can you not like Carvalho? :( And Gallas was on better form...but he was playing on the left wing while Carvalho was in the center...

You can't not admire him for that goal. I was happy when we were linked with him.
+ the over ruling factor that I usually play as Portugal on PES counts for alot.

You can't not admire him for that goal. I was happy when we were linked with him.

You seemed to be saying that it wasn't too hard to beat Newcastle? I can only assume this won't be the only red card they have all season and that injuries occur within most sides. The chances of playing a big clash whilst one team has an injury will be reasonably high.

Neither did I...

Who's pretending? I would say "yes please" to most of the players in Chelsea/Liverpool/Man U/etcs squad. However, Mourinho got it right on form picking Gallas in my opinion and Carvalho has been playing worse than him.

Ah yes...Euro 2004...broke my heart it did :( I think we are one of the few admirers of the Mighty Maniche...though I was gobsmacked when he signed for that Russian team.

Didn't say that. What's that got to do with anything.
You - Keeping clean sheet against a 10-man Newcastle with 1 old striker = triumph.
Me - Nothing about Newcastle's league position. Keep up.

Ah, but I didn't make any claims about our defence. At all. And I'm not too proud to say 'Carvalho? Yes please' instead of pretending he's awful because he plays for a local rival that outplayed us last season. Oh, and last week as well.
