Is that when he will be playing for Stoke or Blackburn.
Jesus christ, did Pennant hump your wife or something?
I've rarely heard any red being so negative and sarcastic about a Liverpool player.
He is not getting many games, but when he is on he has done well. Latest example was against crewe, assisted Lucas' goal and voted 2nd in man of the match on the official site. Against Fulham and Birmingham last season he was the star man, playing a big part in securing the 4th spot with two games left. As far as I remember he assisted 3 of our 4 goals in those games.
For several years our problem has been, that we didnt have strength in depth. Now, with players as Pennant on the bench, playing in Carling Cup matches and FA cup matches, we have the strength to compete on all fronts. Do you have a problem with that? Having good players on the bench will always cost more than having bad players on the bench.
Except he is no longer good enough to get in our first team. Would have Kuyt any day of the week to Pennant
First Pennant has never been regular in our first team. Second, its fine if you want Kuyt over Pennant, but its not to hard to figure out that we need cover for Kuyt then? Thats Pennants role right now, and he seems fine with it. Good cover for your prefered players is essential to challenge for the title. Btw. by that logic, Agger is no longer good enough to get in our first team, Babel is not good enough, Masch is often not good enough, Yossi, Hyppia etc. Wanna get rid of them too?
And also, now you choose Kuyt ahead of Pennant. I agree that Kuyt has played well so far this season. But dont forget, that he has had very different levels of succes over the last three years with us. Especially last year, culminated in horrible displays. But anyway, Rafa always showed confidence in him, and kept playing him, week in week out. It's a little easier to perform under those circumstances, rather than being dropped more often than not, even though you have played fantastic, and assisted several goals. Rafa shows no confidence in Pennant, and still, he goes on the pitch and gives his best and plays well, assists goals.
Lets face it and I will say it again, Pennant should not even be at our club.
I've seen him out and about round Allerton and Lark Lane and to be honest, I just think he's an overpaid pr**k!
Give me humble guys like Torres and Carra every time
When I was a child I also believed that the good guys would always win in the end. But thats not reality, and not the reality of football. Sometimes you find nice and humble guys, who are also world class players, but they are rare. If you start rating niceness over abilities on the pitch, you are damn sure we are never going to win the title!
Whatever personal problem you have with Pennant, its getting tiresome to hear about it, as long as you dont support your thoughts with arguments. Im not here to tell you what to do, but i suggest that you either start backing your opinions up with facts and arguments, or you keep your personal hate for Pennant to yourself.
Thanks.
