Gotta love Mourniho's comments about Gudjohnsen "learnig to dive" - you'd have thought he would have in his days at Chelsea, with a manager who is either ridiculously highly hypocritical, or just plain unobservant. Tbh though, Chelsea deserved the draw. Drogba looks on fire atm, and Lampard's getting back to form - goal was intentional also.

Agree 100% with that. You just need to look at the players he's competing with for top scorer in that league...Rasiak, Earnshaw, Gray, Blackstock. All players not good enough for the Premiership but more than enough for the Championship. Earnshaw is. It's a myth he's in the Championship really, because he was great a couple of seasons ago - scored more than Ameobi has ever done in a Premiership season tbh.

Good luck to him. Still interesting how he and O'Brien can get call-ups for their countries, but don't get a chance for their club.

Defensive midfielder? Anyway, I personally believe the way Luque has been treated is shocking. Ever since he came back from that injury it's been pretty much obvious he was going to get very little in the way of proper opportunities. It's no suprise he looks so disillusioned. Ofcourse, that wont matter to the fans as he'll just be another lazy, overpriced, mercenary from Europe. I really am suprised no one has asked why we always seem to get the ones who are just here to collect their pay packet? I agree that the treatment of Luque has been dubious sometimes - especially the warming up routine when already all subs had been used. Still, with performances like against Villa he did not helop his own cause and if he has not been different in training I actually can understand the managment... But Roeder was in the press every other day a few months back saying how hard he was working, how impressed he was with him etc. I don't believe Luque will adapt to the pace of the Premiership. Whenever i've seen him he always seems to panic on the ball and makes a stupid mistake whether it be a hurried pass or snatched shot which is a shame because in La Liga he was a quality player. At this time though the only thing that matter is that he is a striker and might just pull something out the hat which could get us a result in Palermo. Playing what is basically a six man midfield is just going to make sure we get humped. Roeder will probably see it as a tactical masterstroke, and will use it an attempt to get a draw against the mighty giants that are Palermo. He'll get a surprise when he realises the players have no clue what they're doing, and we'll get beaten comfortably.

For the most part I doubt that, and it's more that logic should tell us he should get a chance, because regardless of his ideal position, he is more of a striker than Duff any day. I believe his La Liga position was left attack in 4-4-3, or support striker.

If he was likely to play he wouldn't be risked in my opinion. Yeah that's what I thought, though he can't seriously not at least take him with the squad.

I assume that if he's playing for the reserves, it's unlikely he'll travel to Italy?

I suppose he could add N'Zogbia and Milner to make a front three, and Luque could be cover for the bench if he impresses in training.

Don't see how what he's done equates to being arsehole tbh.

I guess Roeder doesn't believe in subs, or he's naive enough to think bringing players on very late will give a late burst of energy, when the opposition are at their most tired. Not really, if they hardly get a touch of the ball! I know our subs weren't quality, but they would add fresh legs earlier on, and something different. Perfect time for Luque to get a bit of a chance, as he'd have got a lot of posession surely.

Not Roeder's fault apparently.

2-0 - Petrino Crouchinho.

Liverpool 1-o Aston Villa - Kuyt, 31.

If this is really true, it's just rotten luck. However I wouldn't be surprised if it's secretly just his hamstring playing up again.

That was last February-ish if you didn't know. Sorin I'm sure has recovered since...

Ian Holloway should be knighted instead tbh.

This was ages ago, wasn't it?

Working now. I liked it tbh. Good work.

Quality Album. Im listening to Fleetwood Mac tho... It is a great album - got the new one? From what I have heard from it, it's nothing like the previous two and much more like old Metallica.
