Probably some truth in this - seeing how he has personally flourished since escaping Rafa's restrictions

"I don't see how a player can play at an average team and be great and go to Liverpool and be not as great," Pennant told the Guardian

 

 

wow what a moron....

 

thats like saying "i was great for leyton orient, then i went to liverpool and i was awful"

I saw this story and decided it wasn't worth posting it...

major boll*cks - not insights.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

It didn't happen at Liverpool: it must be about how the manager relates to players, how the tactics are and how he restricts players.

 

He's a great manager and there are times when he is a genius

 

Yes, those two are quotes attributed to him in one short article

Definitely the next ex-player pundit for Sky Sports.

[MFletcher]

He's quite clearly an idiot, although I could have told you this before we bought him. He doesn't have the right mentality to succeed at a top club.

Definitely the next ex-player pundit for Sky Sports.

 

Probably making an early bid for that job

As I said in another thread. The guy has failed when he's had to step up at every point in his career.

 

He's excelled with s*** teams where he is the star man, as soon as he has any pressure he can't step up to the plate.

 

It's no coincidence that the managers he speaks badly of are Wenger and Benitez.

[Billy Dane]

Wonder what his excuse is for his s*** form in Spain?

[Sion]

Remember when he was livid at not getting picked for England after a few decent performances for us

[Jarg Armani]

Brilliant article, compulsory reading for all LFC fans.

[hagi_complex]

He's an imbecile.

Definitely the next ex-player pundit for Sky Sports.

Makes Redknapp look like an analytical genius.

[Tommy Cockles]

I think he is "breaking all sorts of shackles" with that article.

[Tosh]

nice to see Jermaine making such an impact against Barcelona
