Also signed Rickie Lambert, Lazar Markovic, and Mario Balotelli. Bringing him in based on the players he’s signed wouldn’t be the best idea.
Disclaimer: all those players were actually signed by the ‘transfer committee’.
Talks a good game. The after dinner stories circuit is probably most suitable for him. Football management is not.
That’s me done after today. He’s just not good enough.
Get him in the team. He’s our second best midfielder. Never anything spectacular but does all things to a good level. Not a Gerrard type midfielder though.
I suppose CB pace and striker pace is a bit different. You lose the explosiveness. A CB could compensate through reading of the play for example, but losing that initial burst to get away from the defender could really affect your game as a striker.
Interesting video on the lack of midfield from both teams yesterday. I find it amazing that two of England’s best midfielders from the last 20 years can produce teams like this.
Durant tore his. Tore and snapped are two different things. If you’ve snapped it, as in completely through, you’re in a heap on the ground. You’re not walking.
It’s very important to note this. I’m doubtful that Gerrard is going to be a top manager. Maybe he will be and I hope he’s a success here. One thing I am sure of though, is that Frank Lampard is a worse manager/coach that Gerrard. Probably the worst in the league.
Maybe that’s his role on match days? He seems to do it quite often at least. Every team has 1 coach (often unrecognisable to people who don’t follow the club) who gives instructions to the players before they go on. McPhee seems to be ours.
