Would you be any more confident him running at Taylor, Williamson or Kadar? I know I wouldn't.
Imagine Torres running at Terry n all. I think it'd be the same result.
Fernando clutching his ankle?
Hamstring shirley?
According to the journos on Twitter we're due to make an announcement on Taylor's injury, which suggests it's serious.
"It is a fact that Steven Taylor has an injury."
With Barton, Smith, Guthrie, Nolan possibly Vuckic and now Gosling Don't we have enough centre mids ?
Bring a decent defensive midfielder in then get Smith off the books.
I don't remember being impressed with France until the final of 98. I never thought they were real contenders most of the way through and I still think had Ronaldo been on his game that Brazil would have won that final. Spain dominated their way through this tournament taking out some very tough teams on the way.
