Alt: He was a headless chicken for about 10 minutes prior to his sending off. I said to the wife (no) about 15 seconds before his foul that he was a red card waiting to happen. I'm not slagging him off, and I want him to be the player we know is in there but he's gormless sometimes. Hopefully he'll learn.

I've not see the sending off but needless to say since we opened with Coventry, It seems from the snippets i've heard, he was caught in possession again in a deeper role. I said to my lad the last three games we've seen first hand, about twice in each of the games we have seen he has been caught out day dreaming, definitely twice in the Coventry game. He doesn't seem to be aware of his surroundings at times although that will come from the number of games he plays. He needs to be told though.

this pretty much sums up what i was thinking when watching him last night, the lad has talent and at times he looks more experienced than he is but then there are the times he seems to go into 'limp mode', he just does not seem to be up with the play or aware of players around him and for a central player that is never good, he has to get into 'game mode' for 90+ minutes every game.

You'd think Pritchard would give him a clue, he kicks every ball every ball even when he's on the bench.

sounds daft maybe but i want them kicking every ball, even if they are in the stands...he could do a lot worse than watch pritchard.

i remember hearing all this hype about pirlo so i (half) watched a game he was in and thought he did nowt special, i think the next time i saw him was against england and he was all i heard about in the build up so i decided to watch him more closely..then i realised how he played the game simply, always there for a pass and knew where his next pass was going, always aware of the movement around him i don't think he ventured far out from the center circle, nothing you would call spectacular or game changing but kept his side moving around the pitch.

one of my favourite players Pirlo - magnificent footballer. England had a player of a similar standard in Hoddle but had no idea how to appreciate him. Thankfully we are better setup now to get good use from players like him.

Incidentally, I thought that Khadra that came on for them yesterday that we were in for too looked very good indeed.
