International duty

[David Hodgson]

This needs to be a thread.

 

I'll start us off : injury scares on Torres, Kuyt and Agger and not a ball kicked in anger yet. FFS.

Torres is OK apparently.

[David Hodgson]

Torres is OK apparently.

 

Yeah, but in a 'now he'll definitely get played when not 100% and make a minor injury into a major one' kinda way.

[Gunga Din]

i actually think it might be a good thing for Agger to play for Denmark

Yeah he could do with a couple of matches.

Agreed, as long as he's not carrying something that could get aggravated.

Like he will be when he's playing alongside Carragher...

[Red Kent]

Seriously worried that Torres will come back injured and miss a few weeks

[Falconhoof]

Yes, I think so. He needs to come through a few games and get the worry out of the way before he can play properly. It could be good for us that he's getting a good competitive run out without us having the risk of him not being quite match sharp enough.

Nemeth just got two crackers, winning goal with 3 imutes to go, in the quater finals U20 finals, in a good game were they beat Italy 3-2 AET, four red cards also.

Looks like he won the peno which Sean William Scott converted, as well. What was with all those red cards, waay too soft.

Apart from the 2 Hungarians and Martin Kelly, have any others of our boys been playing in the Under-20's World Cup?

The more goals I see him score, the more he reminds me of Fowler. Not saying he'll be anywhere near as good, but he just seems to finish incredibly naturally, with both left and right feet. Makes scoring goals look easy. Pity he doesn't have a bit more pace, but he looks intelligent in the runs he makes, and has good close control too.

[_00_deathscar]

He seemed to show okay pace on both occassions - he's not lightning quick, but I don't think he's any slower than say Kuyt.

 

From the few games he's played for AEK (and for the reserves and for us in pre-season), he seems to have a really good understanding of where his team mates are - great link up play.

Gerrard off injured? (according to 5 live)

[muleskinner]

Steven Gerrard first on the list then. Fantastic.

[Gomez]

Gerrard off at HT, apparently due to injury! (Radio 5)

He was clattered by a terrible tackle just before half time.

 

Pleat reckons he went off at HT, talking to a physio rubbing his leg, but then Pleat is a kerb-crawling be11end, so it's swings and roundabouts.

From Beeb website:

 

1820: A change at half-time for England. James Milner is on for Steven Gerrard, who must have picked up an injury.

[CarraLegend]

The sooner international football is scrapped the better. Sadly theres to much money for that to ever happen.

 

Its f***ing s****.

[Dan]

If it was a knock it might not be too bad, if its his groin again its not so good.

 

Pointless f*ckin exercise.

[fyds]

It's an ankle knock according to the live stream.

It looked inocuous. Ukranian stayed on his feet, barely touched him and Gerrard flung himself to the ground. Obviously bad injuries have happened before after " nothing " tackles but let's hope this isn't one of them
