Football can be a cruel game. Reputations are affected by a lack of goals and already the press hacks are making a big fuss about our striking duo of Andrew Johnson and Bobby Zamora failing to score regularly.
Thankfully, the pressure is something that Roy Hodgson refuses to bow to and after the Portsmouth game he had this to say about his expensive duo,
“I think their partnership is getting better all the time.”
“There were a number of occasions against Portsmouth where we were just a toe poke away from getting through.”
“I thought Zamora linked up the play well as the game went on, and they showed a real sign of what we can expect from them in the future.”
“You must remember this is the third game that they have played together, and it takes time to gel.”
Interestingly, the fact that it is only their third game together gets conveniently ignored by the hacks who hover like vultures.
Here`s to Andrew and Bobby getting on the score sheet against Wigan this Wednesday!
