Why Eriksson is a liability

England Football Team Manager Sven Goran Eriksson had chosen Theo Wallcott as part of the squat to the world cup 2006 in germany,

he said: 'Maybe it is my biggest, bravest, boldest gamble. It is a bit of a gamble." (click here for full video of the press conference-13minutes)

Bastard.

Fact 1 - he never saw Walcott played (NEVER), he only saw him on video.

Fact 2- Walcott is still in the Arsenal Reserves, he never played in the premiership since his £12m transfer.

Fact 3- The ommission of Jermaine Defoe, who had proven qualities as a good striker, fast enough, skillful enough and had been in the England Squad for the past year.

Fact 4- This is a gamble that any good manager would have make (after all Walcott HAS the MOST potential).

I don't like the gamble bit, when u gamble if u show the ruthlessness, rational and mentality then u inspire confidence. However, when u make a gamble and seems unsure and soft then this will transpire down the team hierachy, down to the fans.

So, The contradicting point of Eriksson's comments are as such:

I- my biggest, bravest, boldest gamble <--this is a good gambling rally

II-It is a bit of a gamble.... <--he just said it is a BIG gamble, now its a BIT?????

Its like a chess player going into a game and say:" i think today i might win, or lose."

Cheeky bastard.
