Martin makes it six!

Richards has never done himself any favours. He used to get into all kinds of trouble in Manchester clubs. Was drunk for training a few times. Joked on TV he'd come back from vacation with 'alcohol poisoning', etc etc. He's not very bright and still amazingly immature. But what potential he's got. It's just high time he grew up.

Heh... he's 24 in a few weeks, seems like he's round for years.

 

[gkmacca]

For not getting called up

I looked on twitter and that's the only tweet he's done for hours. I don't know how anyone is supposed to know what the feck the solipsistic idiot means.

 

[FoxForceFive]

As for Richards:

And he's black.

 

[mark1975]

I'm surprised he can remember there's a tournament on, I mean, we all know how forgetful he can be.....🙄

[King Binny]

Brilliant. England is now my second team for theEuros!

"CONFIRMED: Liverpool's pre-season tour of Poland and Ukraine starts against France June 11th."

 

[Shadey]

lets hope terry gets knocked out in training

 

[Gary25]

I hope Kelly fills in at cb, be good to see him in his favoured position.

Don't think he's a centre back from what i've seen. Not aggressive or dominant in the air.

He's fairly average at full back too.

You don't need to be aggressive. And he's pretty fucking dominant on the air...

proper reminds me of steve finnan

Really? I think he's great and has suffered from having more games because of the form of Skittles and Agger. Kelly is a going to be a beast I feel.

Have to agree Fabs, he seems to be pretty damn good in the air from what I've seen of him.

I think he's going to be a great CB, but he needs time in the role.

 

[Gary25]

As a centre back, you need to put yourself about and get the better of his opponent physically. Kelly doesn't do that.

He's really not dominant in the air.

he is, go watch a game or two of him playing for the U21s as a centre-back he's very good in the air.

Have to agree to disagree on this one. It's probably Kelly's biggest weakness imo but hopefully it's an aspect of his game he can improve on.

Skrtel for example, wasn't exactly dominant aerially before last season but now his timing and anticapation is much better.

Indeed, pretty sure we'll know in the next couple of years whether he becomes the next Carra or the next Pellegrino.

 

[gkmacca]

In other words: give him time!!!!

 

[gene hughes]

You mean whether he'll ever be a league champion or not?

 

[SummerOnions]

Nah that's in three years Gene, be patient.

 

[Oncy]

Its great that hes going but he shouldnt get much game time
You would think now the back 5 will be
Hart
Johnson
Terry
Lescott
Cole

With Jones as back up for Johnson and the CB and Baines as LB.
Kelly is basically back up for Jones.

Doubt he'll be like either of those 2. He could beat either in a foot race with Jan Molby tied to his back

 

[Fabio]

A young cannavaro

I meant good or shit haha but I think he's quite similar to Carra in the way he's started out IMO.

 

[the count]

Opta Sports ‏@OptaJoe
138 - Liverpool conceded a goal every 138 minutes with Kelly on the pitch in the 11/12 PL, the best rate for any of their players

Was only messing with you chief. I knew what you meant.

 

[King Binny]

Ferdinand's representative and long-standing friend Jamie Moralee tonight said: 'Lampard, Terry, Barry, Gerrard; all ageing but they go to the tournament. Why is Rio different?

'To treat a player that has captained and served his country 81 times (in this manner) is nothing short of disgraceful. Total lack of respect from Hodgson and the FA as far as I am concerned.'

 

[Atlas]

Happy for Kelly but Rio should be going, 'footballing' reasons is BS from Roy and the FA

 

[Gary25]

Complete joke. Not like England are littered with quality centre backs. Rio's been there and done it.

 

[gkmacca]

If Ferdinand has any integrity he wouldn't agree to play with Terry, so once Terry's picked I don't get why Ferdinand is put out. I understand why he was put out about Terry being picked in the first place.
