WHAT did Agger ‘do do’ that for?
Didn’t he do well to make up for it, though?
On both counts, he was Hansen-esque. The great one was also prone to the odd lapse of concentration, as well as being Scotland’s answer to Franz Beckenbauer going forward.
In truth, we were put in trouble by a gift goal and a freak one, and managed to get out of it. Twice, without Torres, and no Roy of the Rovers stuff from Steven Gerrard – and a well-deserved brace from Dirk Kuyt to boot.
I regard all these as positives. The question is, though, how many times can we go to this particular well?
The extreme pressure we’re under is thrown into sharp relief by events at The Riverside.
Although like most of us I’m still hoping our uneven struggle may be brought to an end by the Dubai 7th Cavalry, I now hear that they may even be switching their attentions to the other side of Stanley Park!
Penny for Rick Parry’s thoughts. Which is a penny more than there should be in his pay-packet.
Regarding the game, I reckon too much is being made of this being a lucky win, influenced by the sending-off. One has to ask, how much time was left when Valencia got his marching orders? Not much, I think.
It’s not as if we got a penalty we didn’t deserve.
Anyway, it goes some way to evening up the perfectly good goal we had scratched off against Stoke, which would probably have opened the floodgates.
Steve Bruce, looking like a butch version of Stephen Fry, may have been apoplectic, but he could try reflecting on the good fortune he’s had against us over the last few years.
Big Steve may be sick of hearing of this Heskey thing fairly soon, too. Not sure this is really a good idea. Why not bring back Florent Sinama-Pongolle and Bruno Cheyrou while we’re at it? In truth, Houllier’s heroes were not all that heroic. Let’s give the rewind button a rest for a while.
Now, Zaki, that’s a different Wigan meat pie. At the reputed £6million, he may look a touch more appetizing than Robbie Keane at £20m.
