We already have a Kaboul thread, and whether or not the ball struck the Dead Snake on the arm, it was a truly pathetic attempt at a clearance.
This thread is pointless
A bit harsh. If he was trying to do something clever or poncy then it would have been pathetic. If you look, teamates weren't exactly busting a gut to offer him options and all he did was try to whack it out of harms way. There was still luck involved in that a) the refr didn't give hand ball b) it bounced kindly into Boa Morte's path c) our other defenders mostly awol.
Yes, he definately worries me too at times, but I would love to see him played at RCB next to a quality, experienced LCB and a better defensive RB. Because he and Dawson make errors but at least Kaboul has redeeming features like reading the game, good on the ball, bit quicker.
One thing that this really hits home though is all the wankers that have knocked Gardner over the years. I think, mostly through injury, we have lost the services of two really good CB's (RCB & LCB) in Gardner & King. I really wish the pair had been available more the last 3 years because if they were I would pick them every time ahead of all of our others. I always rated Gardner, and when he first played thought he had the potential to be very, very good. An injury plagued career has ruined that potential but he's still better than dawson.
