If all players had that attitude we'd only have a few international teams on the whole planet.

For some countries i.e. Ireland, it's an achievement to reach a WC in itself so there is something to be gained.

Playing for England under Hodgson is pointless. England's marker for success is competing in the latter stages of tournaments and this ain't gonna happen as long as Hodgson is in charge.

It's not irrational. Common sense dictates that when you have a player with injury problems you generally don't run them into the ground in a ****ing friendly.

Did he run him into the ground? Or did he just play him a full 90 minutes like they train for and are employed to do?
When Rodgers is playing him on a Wednesday night and the following Saturday will you be complaining about him?
It's crazy the amount of blame being slung Hodgson's way here, even bordering on conspiracy with some people.

Shaqiri speaking ahead of the Switzerland/England game.

Sounds to me he would have been happy to join Liverpool.

The 22-year-old playmaker said: “Liverpool made a bid for me before the World Cup but Bayern put their foot down and told me, ‘We’re not going to sell you’.

“My contract runs until 2016 and I could possibly extend it.

“I will consider my decision during the winter break.”

I think the new international Breaks are a good thing, staggering the games from Wed thru to following Tues. The problem we all had was that the domestic leagues would finish on the Sunday and there would be no football on TV til the following Friday. Nothing again til Tues after. It's just boring, at least now there are games on most days (but not today

) to keep us occupied and give us our football 'fix'

There's probably a lot of image deals these players have that they must feature for their national team.

Not exactly. Liverpool probably know how to manage him better. He got it in training playing a game it seems. Should have been rested after playing 2 games(Sunday & Wednesday) with his injury history.

They probably do. However, he is never going to manage over 40 club appearances in a season for this club imo. And so long as his ~30 games a season are as good as they've been thus far that's okay.

So this American fan posted this vine before the Man City/Crystal Palace game.

https://vine.co/v/MvvPDuQ5OJY

He got a load of stick on twitter from Liverpool fans because of it. So he made this. Notice that his efforts at trying the Scouser accent brings out an Irish one.

https://vine.co/v/OB0i7jKMOdr

He try's to explain it in the geekiest way possible.

very unlucky on Allen but Coutinho will be higly motivated to improve on his last 2 performances.

Coutinho and Lallana could interchange in a way Allen would not.

Taken from a few post a back,not gonna bother finding a link unless you insist.

2 of his 3 injuries were on England duty, The big one over last November to January where he missed 9 games was done in a Liverpool training session.

Found it here.

Not that I have any evidence to back this up but it would not be outrageous to suggest that that injury could possibly be linked to playing 90 minutes for England in another meaningless friendly while not fully fit. I do think he is being mis handled by the current England set-up. Some details on that found here

So the mirror are reporting the balotelli attacking another player on there back page. Even though the wolves players have said it wasn't true!

Bloody hell!

Only going off what others have said and what i remember, I cant recall when he got injured while at Liverpool. Was he out for weeks or just a game? If you had a link that would be nice.

Doesn't take away from the fact that he picks up injuries on England duty and IMO is being mis handled in the England setup.

Shows you how important it was to get someone of Mario's quality in before the window closed.

I'm sorry Sturridge is injured, I'd like to see himself and Balotelli get a run of games together early, particularly with a relatively easy set of fixtures coming up. If they clicked and Llanna slotted in for Allen we'd have a great platform going into the Xmas period.

I don't see BR playing Balotelli and Lambert together so if he's going to stick with two up top its a straight choice IMHO between Borini simply replacing Sturridge or Sterling moving up front with Coutinho taking Sterlings spot at the top of the diamond. If BR goes for Sterling up front Borini is well and truly Fcuked and his gamble to stay and fight for a place will have been a wasted effort.

I hope Borini gets the nod as I think he's a better out and out striker than Sterling and Sterling is at his most effective in the deeper role at the top of the diamond.
