Stevie doesn't get a break

[New York Red]

Lampard has pulled out of the game tomorrow due to a "tight hamstring". What a lot of b*llocks. Stevie's played for more games than him and yet Stevie has to soldier on.

 

P*sses me off man.

[Ombudsam]

Which player has banged on about how he wants to play in this game even after he was told what his manager said.

 

They all hate us don't they

Don't be daft. I'd put money on it that Lampard isn't even injured (he hasn't missed a game in YEARS due to injury)He's decided to put his club before a stupid friendly that's all. I wish Gerrard would do the same especially after actually picking up a knock but he reckons he's fine. If he breaks down in a week or two then Rafa should fine him for being unprofessional.

Apparently Gerrard and Lampard have both played 44 games but Lampard has played 3832 minutes compared to Gerrard's 3503 minutes.

i really wish that we could give give up on this "playing for your country is evil, and it's all a conspiracy against Liverpool" cr@p.

 

Gerrard has made it clear that he wants to play for his country and will do so unless he is injured and unable to play.

 

If he was genuinely hurt the club would refuse to let him play in the game and would just allow him to be with the squad.

 

Any attempt by the club to put restrictions on his playing for England would put them at loggerheads with the player, a no win situation for both parties.

 

If other players, and their clubs, are not playing by the rules, we should let the FA deal with those matters.

 

Playing for their country obviously means alot to these players and the risk of injury is one we will all have to just put up with.

This season

 

Lampard 36 starts + 2 sub appearances

 

Gerrard 37 starts + 4 sub appearances

 

 

it's, it's, it's like Gerrard is being flogged like a lazy horse while Fat Lampturd is rested all the time.....

 

it's not fair......

 

 

 

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's it! That simple.

 

People are making out he's a little boy being horribly wronged, 'Poor ickle Stevie'. 'Kin ell!

it's him who wants to play

[anny road]

it's him who wants to play

 

 

i never said he doesnt

 

it doesnt mean it isnt better for him to rest instead of playing a meaningless freindly

 

Of course Gerrard wants to play

it's just that the whole premise of the thread was that everyone was out to get us and look after chelsea. Makes us look like idiot. I'm an england fan but i agree with you that i want gerrard rested but the kid wants to play and he has the final say.

[Falconhoof]

I'm glad Sven has his priorities straight and is resting this world class player

[Cobs]

that'll be Sven you chelsea twunt

I was going with the obvious conspiracy that Mourinho told Lampard to feign injury to remove himself from the squad and Rafa has neglected to do the same with Stevie, son.....

[Ombudsam]

no he doesnt..the manager has the final say

 

why didn't he just feign an injury. It's down to our end to sort it out if we don't want him to play

What f***s me off about this is that Lampard knows he could put on five stone, have a gender swap operation, and change his name to Ulrikka - and he would still have an automatic England place under Erikssonovich.

 

Whereas Gerrard, if he has a brain, must realise that with everyone* wondering if he and Lampard can play together in the England central midfield he maybe has to show that bit more willing.

 

If he was 100% assured a starting place no matter what - like the two tarts, Beckham and Lampard - then he might be a bit less gung-ho on the old "must play for Ingerlund" stuff.

 

The simplest explanation is that he actually wants to play. But I do think there's some pressure there.

 

* i.e. the poncey, biased, Southern-based, Liverpool-hating football media.

pretty impressive that. You've managed to make everyone else culpable afterall. Superb work.

[growler]

nothing to do with representing his country in front of his home crowd eh?
