There aint a England game on is there

Is he out for the Blackburn game? Source?

To be fair hes always "injured"

So to Hamburg vs Citeh in the UEFA Cup (for Newcastle posters that used to be the Fairs Cup 40 years ago.). Hughes can't be confident, as Citeh have a worse away record than the US Army. That's not quite true, Citeh have won 1 in 19 away.

The result may swing on how cold it is in Hamburg, and whether gloves will be required by key players. It will probably be a damage limitation exercise, and hope to put 7 past them at Eastlands.

Once again a Rafa rant is followed by a Liverpool defeat.

Coincidence?

No everyone moans when they lose

The rant was before the game.

Are you surprised...... i mean really

While last night was a massive success for Essien, it has to be countered by the defeat against Tottenham. Essien played in that game and he was garbage.

I'd still have Mikel in the defensive midfield role. IMO he's still much more suited to that role than Essien is and Essien would play in central midfield. Last nights game he was given the specific role of keeping Gerrard out of the game and he did it well, but we aren't playing Gerrard every week and Essien is better suited further up the field.

I'd rather Essien than Ballack playing in that 'middle of the park' role.

Lampard plays a little further forward, Mikel a little deeper and Essien the engine room with his typical box-to-box style.
