City 3 holding midfielders at home....Liverpool 4 strikers and Gerrard away...equalled bizarre game. Joe Hart first half jittery to fook, second half showed the agility that meas he has the attributes to be a top keeper. Folk should remember though, he is NOT there yet. Weird game.

The reasoning was bollocks too. He called the lad up and asked how he felt he'd played in that last warm up game, and he admitted he'd struggled to breathe with the excitement of playing for England. So Fab thought he wouldn't handle the pressure of playing at the World Cup.
Utter tosh, shite. It was exactly that passion and enthusiasm we ended up missing

There is no question that, despite his good qualification Capello, for some bizarre reason, panicked.hisroyalgingerness wrote:The reasoning was bollocks too.

We've discussed already how shite his squad was, irrespective of form at the actual games. He seemed to be looking for excuses to revert and opportunities like this you mention were just what he wanted.
I said I'd judge when I saw his squad for the next few matches & he failed to fill me with confidence with the Hungary one. Tho he dropped a small number he also got told to fck off by others. I'll give him another couple of goes, but for me he's failed the test.
The big one is whether he bombed Terry (who tried to lead a revolt) and CAshley. He diidn't, so for me he's bottled it again.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

continued hereI wonder what Rafa Benitez is thinking at this moment. Could it even be: "I wish I was back at Anfield?"
You never know. The English media gave him a tough time during his last six months on Merseyside, some would say deservedly so, but the Italian media have quickly picked up where their counterparts on the other side of Europe have left off.
The headline in Gazzetta dello Sport after their flaccid 2-0 loss in the UEFA Super Cup to Atletico Madrid was not the most vicious but perhaps was the most telling, 'InterRotta' - interrupted.
It was a nice play on words which suggested that the expectations that Benitez would carry straight on from where Jose Mourinho had left off a few months before, when Inter beat Bayern 2-0 in the Santiago Bernabeu stadium to lift Europe's top prize after a 45 year wait, had been cruelly dashed.

Sorry, bish - in which case I should not have mentioned it if it is on another thread.thebish wrote:Montreal Wanderer wrote:Apparently Benitez is after Cahill now (unless this has been mentioned elsewhere).
in which case - he's NOT after Cahill?

You know, I was thinking about this earlier. The current Liverpool side are three players above being a bog standard Premiership side (Torres, Gerrard & Reina) and Roy Hodgson's going to cop the whole lot for all of the shite that's gone before him.InsaneApache wrote:Seems a shame to let this thread wither.

Had the same conversation earlier. You take out those three. You're left with a 30 year old who couldn't get into Chelseas teamBruce Rioja wrote:You know, I was thinking about this earlier.
