Pointless? What if Anleka gets injured during the ACN? We would only have Sturridge to play up-front with Kalou, and Kalou isn't a starter. Sheva doesn't seem to have the threatness he once had, if we get Augero, then he could do wonders for us in the EPL and domestic cups.
^^ Agree with Esk, Carlo is the manager and has the say for the players who he wants, and so he and Frank may have had a meeting or something. But i don't xpect him to be a first team contender, probably after a good stint in the reserves (like DiSanto).
If all he can do is get 2 goals in a game, then that's kind of worthless of any chance of success. We were behind against Hull, lucky to get a win, and now, against Sunderland we are 1-0 behind and all we can do is watse our chances.
