Oh gawd yeah fully agreed, Fletcher will not be winning anything for his passing but much like G Neville, whilst not being the most gifted of footballers, they're pure never say die attitude cannot be bought.
The United fans that constantly **** off Carrick and Fletcher and always want them replaced with 'flavour of the month' would soon realise what they do if they wasn't there.
Can't believe a UTD fan would say that. Fletcher is a talentless hack, literally, foul people in tough games, anyone can do that, professional footballer, or a pet monkey, fouling people doesn't take skill.
Comparing him to Neville, my word, NEville PHYSICALLY wasn't gifted, he's small he had no pace, but to say Neville relied purely on his never say die attitude.
Over the entire course of the premier league he's been one of the top 5-10 best crossers in the entire league, Beckham was NOTHING without Neville, those two had the best quality right wing partnership the league has ever really seen, his passing is fantastic, he ran the overlap brilliantly, he had an simply superb cross, he could pass well, he could tackle, he read the game better than most people in the league which covered for his lack of pace, his positioning was superb.
Fletcher can barely pass, barely cross, barely tackle, barely read the game, his positioning isn't great his shooting is pathetic, as you said pretty much the entire basis of his game is constantly trying hard. He's still completely rubbish, Carrick, also pretty poor.
Honestly as a Utd fan you should be embarassed to compare them, its like me saying Denilson is good for the same reasons Dixon/Lauren/Cole/anyone else in the squad. Neville was one of Utd's, the leagues and the countries best players in the past 15 years, Fletcher, lol, Fletcher would like pretty well suited if he moved to a Championship side full of hard tackling foulers and not look out of place.
