Yep, that's it exactly. The media love-in is sickening. Anfield was like a library last night but the commentators still big it up as if no where else is worthy. This is not a new thing to coincide with their upturn in fortunes. I'm been harbouring this dislike since a certain semi final at Villa Park in '74 and a brush with some of those loveable Scousers outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely half a season loan to the championship would be good for him to get him some kind of form Wouldn’t be surprised to see him move on loan to Watford till the end of the season.

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 4 January 2020 Share Posted 4 January 2020 I think Drinkwater to Watford would be a great shout, but barely a handful of games in 2 years to a team who need results and need them now, could be problematic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejdeej Posted 4 January 2020 Share Posted 4 January 2020 Nah I think Drinkwaters attitude over the last 3 years portrays the kind of player Pearson would hate to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Langston Posted 4 January 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 4 January 2020 The Drinkwater situation is genuinely sad - I know he won't be moaning about his pay packet (or whatever cliche people will trot out) but he's flushed the best years of his career away. He was about the only one arsed for the first few months in the season following the title win - but I always had the impression winning the league was his Everest and once he'd done it, a lot of that fire he had went away. You used to see him beating himself up on the pitch at the most minor mistake. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps i'm just a cynical fucker but I think something dramatically changed in Drinkwater attitude, whether that be mental issues that he had struggles without of his control I don't know, but I question his desire to actually be a footballer and just interested in chasing the money - again similar to my Maguire comments - Who am I to judge. Whilst he wasn't every going to get played for England I feel the way he handled the situations when he was called up for England badly, pulling out a few times, perhaps it was just unfortunate timing and I admit I held the opinion of 'Good on him for pulling out, he's not going to get a chance anyway'. I believe his attitude changed, thought he was something, chased the money and become abit of a Champagne Charlie, as you say he perhaps backed himself to succeed but I think everyone knew he wouldn't play for Chelsea, everyone pretty much knew Chelsea signed him to get their quota of English players up and it wouldn't be/isn't any shocking surprise that it has gone so terribly wrong.

Most of those above and based of winning stuff pre 1950's and for most clubs now only the last 10 or 20 years are relevant, no point living in the past like Villa and Newcastle, we live in the now and over the next few years people will not be bothered what happened to teams in the last century.
