Although I hate to defend Worthington....
He never compared Simon Charlton to Makelele...he was actually talking about Safri:
"When you've got someone like that - someone who can not only act as your playmaker, but can also sit in there, just in front of your back four, tackle, win the ball, be strong, fight a little in the football sense and have good energy - then they're a little bit special.
And that's why having Youssef Safri out injured is such a big blow for us. There's no hiding away from that fact. And sometimes it's only when people aren't there that you realise just how much they actually bring to the team."
