KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Martin Kelly to replace cahill for Euro 2012

You forgot our high flying winger with zero assists.

I see what your getting at, but I would say that all leagues have there fair share of foreign players playing in them. If you want to be the best you have to test your self against the best. I read a bit about Zola when he was playing for Napoli, he said he was struggling to get into the first team beacuse of the striker that was keeping him out, so he had to keep improving all the time and study the striker that was keeping him out and try and better waht he was doing, The striker that was keeping him out was Maradona by the way.

might be good to see stirling in place of downing for a few pre season games.

If non of the Liverpool lads get injured, it would be a positive learnng and confidence building experience regardless of the results. So many of the lads getting more game time together can only be good.

I may be wrong... but why isn't Micah Richards getting a call up ahead of Kelly?

am i the only one that ist happy about this.
kelly is very good player and will be massive for us in the future. am just worried about his injury record. he seems to be a player that gets injured a fair bit and going to the euro wont help that. what he needs is a brake and his not going to get that. i can see him playing alot of games next season ( if his not injured)

Apparently, Micah is upset.

Well I guess having Hodgson, a former LFC manager, means LFC will have much representation in England internationals because he knows them. Not sure how I feel about that, given that internationals are more a burden than anything, but congrats to Kelly. I really find it hard to choose between him and Richards, and obviously I'll always support the LFC man more, but I think too much is made of Kelly not deposing Johnson at LFC as reason to think he's worse than any other right/centre back. That depth will serve us well.

Obviously the snub to Ferdinand sends the message that we won't run it from the back. Get used to 2 banks of 4, England. When they remember why Liverpool didn't like that, I'm sure all those media smarts will remember why Liverpool sacked him, and they'll apologize for their behaviour towards us. Oh wait, no they won't...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. It doesn't matter who the 11 players are. Hodgson will always have them playing the same. West Brom, Liverpool and Fulham may as well have all been the same team. This is why Fulham and West Brom fans were satisfied with Roy and why we thought he was utter garbage. England will play like West Brom. This is terrible considering the quality in the England squad. This is why Harry should have been manager. Christ Rafa would have been brilliant for England!
