Robben is selfish, no other way to say it. A damn fine footballer, but selfish. Sometimes it pays off and he produces a moment of brilliance, as is the case of his goal for Bayern against Man Utd a few years back. Only the very best players have the right to try something like that.
Completely unrelated, I had an unexpected urge to relive the epic Zaire national team's antics against Brazil:
Pretty much the only thing of real quality in a fairly routine 90 mins, great to see him score his first though, quality goal. If nothing else, we look like a solid unit, but we lack a bit of invention. Clearly, having Rooney back would make a big difference but still.. the future is now, so they say. Why oh why Roy didn't pick Adam Johnson; hey ho. Bring on the Euros!
Highly highly true. I want Roy to do well, but every time I look at the squad list, it feels like Fabio all over again. He said he was thinking beyond the Euros, which is fair, but there are players there who shouldn't be anywhere near the squad, now or later. Downing, seriously? Used to rate him but he's lost his way big time. Henderson, honestly, hit me on the head now. Johnson is far away from being our best right back.. ah well. As ever, I keep the faith, but it remains on a knife edge.
