Self-imposed ban? Now that sounds good to me. To lose 7-1 in a quarter-final is abysmal. I'd sack the entire Roma team if I were the manager and go and take a long shower and cry for 5 hours.
Pennant's biggest weakness in my unhumble meaning (there, a new word?) is that he is too weak and is too easily outmuscled. And a little, tiny bit more pace.
I most respectfully disagree. His Valencia side was really able to crush a side whereas this team is not, in my view, able to do the same consistently.
