Euro hopes high
Benfica this week. A chance to redeem ourselves. A chance to gain confidence. The atmosphere will be great. Let's make sure of that.
We may be without some of our artists, but there are also encouraging signs - Lucas Neil is looking very handy, with some excellent distribution; Johnny Heitinga is working well with Jack Rodwell; the Yak is back and King Louis plays to perfection.
So, a good welcome for Benfica, followed by misery. We hope.
That is, of course, if the players can concentrate. I refer to the latest mischief by the papers regarding the Manchester teams eyeing Rodwell with a view to the future. They are expected to make a bid in the summer.
There are so many ways one could look at this - leaked interest as indirect tapping up; winding up EFC before a big game; the media trying to ensure that only the richest clubs are seen to be worthy of top talent; or just a slow day so make up a story. Ho hum.
