And Now We Lose Cahill
What was it Napoleon said about generals? Something like?
“I have plenty of clever generals, give me a lucky one.”
I can’t find the exact quote, but you get the drift.
Roy Hodgson may be a good manager for England. But he is not blessed with good luck.
Especially now he’s lost Gary Cahill to a double fracture of the jaw.
He is now being criticised for not bringing in Rio Ferdinand or Micah Richards, but adding Martin Kelly.
Only time will tell if he’s right. But at the moment I think he is.
I don’t think I’d like either John Terry or Rio Ferdinand in my team and I think it’s one and not both. And he’s already chosen Terry. So for centre backs it’s Terry plus Jagielka or Joleon Lescott.
He may not have the best team in terms of playing skills, but has he chosen players, who might step up to plate and perform. Terry definitely has something to prove, what with the criminal case of racial abuse and missing the Champions League final. Jagielka might just like to win something.
So although, Roy’s luck may have deserted him, ~I think he’s using his brain to create a team with its own built-in ambition.
The defence doesn’t seem to leak goals and the attack seems to be able to score enough to win the game.
The crucial match is the game against France. I think, that both teams with half a dozen black players each and very few of their fans there to support them, could get a lot of abuse from the locals who turn up. I hope not, but if it does has England got the strength to weather the storm. I would hope so!
