WEEK IN WORDS

FIRSTLY I’ve got to mention England’s successful qualifying campaign. For once the boys in white have done it the easy way and done what was asked of them. Still I’m not going to get carried away there’s a few tweaks to sort out, mainly who’s going to play between the sticks. Also we need to stop making schoolboy errors at the back and giving away soft goals. With the experience of Ferdinand, Terry and Cole along with the confident Glen Johnson I’m hopeful that will be stopped.
Also who will support Rooney up front? If it were my choice Jermaine Defoe would be that man, but again there is a long way to go yet, and surely a few injuries.

SPECULATION surrounding Emile Heskey’s future at Aston Villa has been put into the public eye. According to various papers the 31 year old will leave the midlands club in January if he fails to claim a starting spot. Heskey has failed to carry his international form, which has seen him link up well with Wayne Rooney, to his club form. I can’t help thinking if he can’t make the Villa starting line up how can he start for England in a world cup?

RAFEAL Benitez hit out after star players Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres came back injured from international duty. He said, “both players played with us and they were fine, then came back from international duty injured.” Its extremely unfortunate timing for the reds as they face Sunderland today, Lyon midweek and Manchester United next weekend. A loss to Sunderland will near enough end Liverpool’s title hopes, and defeat to Lyon will leave them falling behind in the champions league. This a big week for the reds and their boss.
