[allblues09]

It seems we are starting to get a foothold on the match after the first goal.

does anyone know when richards and neddy will be ready to play again? It will make us a lot stronger in the back, as mancienne seems to be a ball watcher!

I see "Stuart Pearce the Tactician" has struck again tonight...not too sure about the team he's picked.

Nice goal by Rodwell! Good positioning and a solid header.
Does he get many games for Everton?

 

[allblues09]

Frasior Campbell looked very poor today. Why do we not use Agbonlahor (sp.?), is he injured?

 

[Bilboblue]

They are fit to play today but Pearce wants some of the rest of the squad to have a run-out

Why on his back already? England have already qualified so it makes a lot of sense to rest the first team and give others a chance. That way they will be fresh, and prepared for the semi.
