Lampard to decide on England future after returning home

Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard will wait until he returns home before deciding whether to end his international career.

When Roy Hodgson announced Lampard would lead England in their final match against Costa Rica, many took it as a sign that this would be the midfielder's international swan song.
"I don't know whether I will retire or not," the 36-year-old told BBC Radio Five Live. "I am going to get home and make a decision at that point because I have my own club future to sort out as well. This is not the time and place to make the decision."

Five massive improvements under Rodgers at Liverpool

Brendan Rodgers took the reigns in June 2012 of a Liverpool side that finish 8th in the Premier League.

The 40-year spent most of last season introducing himself and his ideas at the club and on the team and, in many ways, undoing the damage done by his predecessors at Anfield. Liverpool finished 7^th last term – a one-place improvement on their 2011/12 position and with 9 more points on the board as well but this season the Reds have really emerged as a Premier League superpower once again.

Signings

Rodgers’ biggest task was largely undoing the mistakes made by Kenny Dalglish who, even though a Liverpool legend, made a number of costly errors in judgment – most prominently in the transfer market.
Dalglish brought in top striker Luis Suarez, of course, for £23 million from Ajax but that was somewhat overshadowed at the time by the wasteful signings of Andy Carroll,  Stewart Downing, and Charlie Adam (amongst others) for a cost as a foursome of £73.5 million and have all since been sold by Rodgers for a combined return of just £37.5 million which is very nearly half the price they were collective bought for.

Positive Injury Update On Laurent Koscielny

There are positive reports coming out of France suggesting that Laurent Koscielny could be back in time to face West Ham on Boxing Day.
Kos was forced off just before half time during our 6-3 loss to Manchester City after receiving a nasty cut across his kneecap when he tried to prevent Alvaro Negredo putting the hosts 2-1 ahead.
The defender later posted a graphic image of the cut and many were fearing he could be set for an extended spell on the sidelines.

However, L’equipe are reporting that the French international will be out for just 10-15 days – depending on how quickly the cut heels – after he needed 10 stitches to close up the wound.

Moyes: Welbeck must emulate Rooney

Welbeck  

 

David Moyes expects Danny Welbeck to push on from his performance at Aston Villa on Sunday and put together a more consistent goalscoring run throughout the remainder of the campaign.
The 23-year-old scored his second brace of the season at Villa Park over the weekend to take his league tally to four, an already huge improvement on his total of one from last season which shows that he has recaptured some of his goalscoring touch.

Injuries have curtailed his progress so far this season but he emphatically bounced back against Villa and Moyes wants Welbeck to use that as a springboard for the rest of the season.
Moyes said: ”He’s a good player and his goals will help him.
“He’s important to me and hopefully he can get a level of performance which keeps getting him goals.

David Moyes sends a warning to Nemanja Vidic

Vidic

Published on December 18th, 2013 | by Matt Turner

Nemanja Vidic has been told by David Moyes that he must fight to regain his place in Manchester United’s starting XI following an injury he picked up in the 1-0 defeat at home to Newcastle.
The United captain has missed back-to-back wins against Shakhtar Donetsk and Aston Villa respectively in games that have also seen the team keep successive clean sheets for only the second time this season.

Jonny Evans played alongside Rio Ferdinand and Phil Jones in those games and the Northern Ireland star is expected to remain in Moyes’ starting line-up for the foreseeable future, something Moyes wants Vidic to take on board.

SAM ALLARDYCE has warned Tottenham caretaker boss Tim Sherwood he would be crazy to go into football management.

LOVE-HATE JOB: Sam Allardyce warns Tim Sherwood of the pitfalls but admits it gets in your blood [GETTY]

Sam Allardyce

Sherwood was the club’s technical co-ordinator. He takes charge for the first time since Andre Villas-Boas was sacked on Monday when West Ham visit White Hart Lane tonight in the Capital One Cup.
But under-pressure Allardyce ­wonders why anyone would want to be a manager with the threat of the sack always hanging over you.
