When it comes to Rodgers saying one thing and doing another he has more form in the book than Red Rum.
An internet ITK? I can see that you've learned absolutely nothing from this whole Jen Chang thing, then. What did Rodgers say and to who? Link, please. By "basically a done deal", do you mean, "loads of random speculation online with no substance", by any chance?
I like Borini, think he's got potential. Shame he's injured. Needs to be played as a striker rather than being stuck out wide left though mind.....
yeah I think he's been useful too. Not the sort of news Liverpool fans will want. especially after a very mediocre start to the season. hope he recovers soon, it's the last thing I'd want to see to one of our players right now! the thought of Dembele potentially missing the chelsea game is killing me... let alone if it was for 3 months!!
Professional fouls happen in every game. I can fully imagine Adam wanted to clip his heels, make the foul, stop the potential attack; injure him though? No.
like i said take the player out,but he wanted to injure him to,because that is what Adam does,he done it all his career.
I think it's a very poorly timed, over-eager challenge - certainly he wants Bale to know he's there, and as captain was probably trying to go in hard and set an example... but deliberately injure? Sincerely doubt it.
It's not a challenge, as he's not trying to get the ball, which has already gone. He's trying to get the man.
I'd agree with that and think he can be a malicious player. There's a lot of clumsy players who make reckless challenges because they simpoly can't tackle (Scholes automatically springs to mind) but for me Adams sometimes crosses the line and does it out of malice.
And Scholes doesn't? Maybe you should look at some videos of the Great Paul Scholes and his "Bad" tackling, he can be a vicious little mug when he wants to be and not adverse to swinging his fist at a player either, most of his sliding tackles are TO bring the player down and feck all to do with the ball. Yes Adam can be dirty for sure.
I actually agree with BBF about something. Scholes is a dirty little **** and I'll be glad when he retires, so we don't have to hear commentators making excuses for his cynical fouls.
He already retired once! The worst thing about Scholes is he served as an inspiration for others to copy his tactics - Chelsea under Mourinho had several players who would scythe down opponents making a break (Lampard and Ballack being chief culprits) because Scholes has been allowed to do it so long not just by referees, but commentators and journalists as well.
Scholes used to kick Alonso as much as he could. Remember he ninja kicked his upper thigh once (went unpunished of course, bless wee Paul he never learned to tackle).
That's the attitude from pundits that absolutely bugs the **** out of me. Robbie Savage would commit a foul, Scholes would commit an identical one and the reaction to both would be a complete mirror. Not only did they both know exactly what they were doing, but they learned to do it in the same bloody place!
