A monkey's wildest dream.
Rodgers made Agger vice-captain, he played in our first three PL games this season and we kept three clean sheets. Rodgers then bought Sakho and put him straight into the team at the expense of Agger. The result - six PL games without a clean sheet.
rodgers is crazy:
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/439760/Daniel-Agger-looks-for-a-way-out-of-Liverpool
he places the black clown sakho and kolo touré higher than agger in the pecking order
cissokho also plays as a left back (how bad is this guy!)
in the commentary section:
seven games without a clean sheet now after the defeat against the very white arsenal
and even more important than clean sheets, the results have dropped
rodgers needs to wake up, or maybe agger can leave liverpool and help messi to win another champions league with barcelona
A feature of Mesut Ozil’s game normally is just how prominent he is. The Arsenal playmaker is willing to roam far and wide to get the ball. Yet in the first half at Old Trafford he was unusually anonymous. That reflected on how well Phil Jones, in particular, played against him and how United patrolled the area in front of their centre-backs. Ozil’s first-half pitch map shows how rarely his team-mates got him on the ball in the No. 10 position (in contrast, there are a cluster of dots near either touchline) and how United kept him out of the positions where he can do most damage.
The surprise team thus far in the Premier League has been the Southampton Saints. They are currently sitting in 3rd, behind Arsenal and Liverpool.
The club chairmen has said they "have a responsibility to the national team". This logical line of thinking flies in the face of most of the Premier League teams that bring in international players (far too many of whom are from the Dark Continent).
Leading the way for Southampton is veteran striker Rickie Lambert. He's recently been capped by England at the age of 31 (why the wait?) and has already produced 1 goal and 2 assists in only 2 appearances. Midfielder Adam Lallana and forward Jay Rodriguez are the other 2 key English components to the Saints success.
Thanks for the additional information. Your knowledge of football and the Premier League trumps my casual following.Lambert had to wait because England was busy giving caps to useless,filthy non-whites like Defoe,Shaun Wright-Phillips,Emile Heskey then.Lambert is unlikey to improve on his threecaps,as England is busy giving caps to useless,filthy non-whites Welbeck,Sturridge now.
However,the tragic part in Southampton's story is that Morgan Schneiderlin,who is one of Southampton's best midfielders cannot play for France since he isn't black.Even Kondogbia,Alou Diarra,Yann M'vial have French caps.
There have not been many right-sided midfielders to stand out this season, but Andros Townsend has done enough to win a place in the England squad and inspired the team to qualification for the World Cup. He is lacking in en -product , having failed to provide a single assist, and scoring only one goal, when a cross evaded everyone and found its way into the net. From 45 shots, a solitary goal isn't good enough. He misses the target all too often, and usually from distance, but the regularity with which he shoots means that he also tests the keeper too. In fact, only Sergio Aguero and Daniel Sturridge have hit the target more times (18 each) than Townsend (15). That he hasn't yet scored (on purpose) is not reason enough to criticise him. He often looks Spurs' best attacking outlet and remains threatening even if goals and assists remain lacking.

The worst miss came from Eto’o who, played in by Craig Gardner’s awful back-pass on the hour, somehow managed to miss the target completely.
Earlier, Eto’o had failed to capitalise on a rare Brown error when he was caught in possession by Willian near his own area and the ball moved into the path of Eto’o. As the former Barcelona striker lined up his shot, Brown’s nudge halted his momentum and Eto’o fell to the ground. To Sunderland’s relief, referee Anthony Taylor deemed the challenge legal.
