All we need now is for Rooney to getthe same injury as well, so that they are both fresh for Germany.

Good point tighty. As a Liverpool fan I have to say I think Gerrard looks knackered already.

Premiership games
FA Cup
Coca Cola, selectively
Champions League group and knockout stages
World Club Champinship
England friendlies
England qualifiers

and Gerrard is expected to go flat out next July as well


Madness!

I disagree, he has been playing exceptional recently

Yeah it's a joke. Whilst we've had 4 games in 8 days the rest of Europe's elite are in our stands watching our games whilst on a 2 week break.

Agreed but the last 15 minutes of each game he's been tired. Didn't ever see that last season.

I think that all the major leagues in Europe should have the same calender, and that includes a winter break for the uk leagues

Can Gerrard and Lampard play together? They're our best central midfielders, but I maybe they're not compatible.

Maybe try Carrick or Parker. neither of them are as good as Gerrard, but you cannot drop Lampard.

compatible or not, you have to play them. Best two players. His job is to devise plans and styles that work for them both

I think the reason we're cramming all the games in now is so that we get a month between the end of the season and the world cup. Does it clash with the WSOP?


Title: Re: Owen Injured
Post by: The Baron on December 31, 2005, 07:09:00 PM
I think they can play together in a 4-5-1 with Rooney as the wide left man. (As Man U sometimes do)

If the midfield 5 consists of Gerrard, Lampard and Rooney then one striker is enough.

I would only play this against the top teams though and play a standard 4-4-2 vs weaker teams.

Hansen said the other day "Gerrard is better than Lampard but Gerrard's problem is he is more versatile than Lampard, so he will be sacrificed as he can play the defensive role better." Spot on in my book.

We had it up here for a couple of years & everyone thought it was a great thing.

So they scrapped it  >:?

We'll see.

I'd like to see him take Keane's place first. Crawling before walking and all that.


Title: Re: Owen Injured

If keanes place were decided on his goal celebrations he would be in the conferance by now!
Stop doing roly-polys you're a grown man for christs sake!

Things are looking so good at Spurs at the mo.

The best since the 89/90 and 86/87 teams.

I really hope Keane stays, I don't think that we can accommodate Dirk Kuyt as well as Keane Mido and Defoe.

Damien Duff should be our #1 target in the summer.


Title: Re: Owen Injured
Post by: The Baron on December 31, 2005, 08:08:28 PM
Agreed. Duff is wasted at Chelsea.

Looks like Keane might be heading to Celtic though....
