Podolski is an incredibly one-dimensional player.

But he is, at least, very good at that dimension.

Puts him ahead of the sort of player who theoretically has all sorts of abilities, but offers fuck all in reality.

Exactly, which is why I liked him very much. The guy has end product, he can shoot, finish and has a good cross on him. Obviously he isn't the most skillful player out there, nor is he pacey, nor does he have particularly good off the ball movement for a striker. So he's nothing more than a useful player who can be productive. But thats a lot more than you can say about the headless chicken Welbeck or fvcking Giroud.

Garcia: 'Juve-Roma injustice'
By Football Italia staff

Rudi Garcia confessed that “for the rest of my life I won’t be able to accept the way” Roma lost to Juventus.

The Coach sat down with reporters from La Gazzetta dello Sport ahead of the trip to Udinese. It kicks off on Tuesday at 11.30 GMT, click here for a match preview.

“My first 18 months in Italy have not changed me,” assured the former Lille boss. “A Coach must also e an actor, able to move between players and Press.

“When I said we’d win the Scudetto, I believed it, but I also knew that it was the right moment to say that. It was difficult to lose that way in Turin, but something has to be changed when it comes to referees.”

Garcia has continually referred back to the 3-2 defeat at the Juventus Stadium, as Roma had complaints about all three goals.

“I will accept the verdict of the campaign, but perhaps for the rest of the season or the rest of my life I won’t be able to accept the way we lost in Turin.

“I don’t have regrets for the three goals that should’ve been disallowed: it’s the feeling of injustice that will be hard to cancel out.

“I don’t believe in this so-called psychological sublimation, as referees are men and have to decide in a fraction of a second. However, since we’ve had six officials on the field, I haven’t seen improvements. It doesn’t work: either we remove replays from television coverage altogether or we help the referees.

“I also don’t believe that the errors even themselves out across the season: injustice must be evaluated in the moment.”

So what about injustice against Sassuolo and Genoa???

I thought Mazzarri was the biggest whiner, but this guy takes whining to another level. Reminds me of few members here tbh.

The Italian FA needs to step up.

Any other FA with a slight amount of self-respect would have suspended his sorry ass. Can't really have a top manager saying so much shit where he insinuate cheating.

Yes, yes. I know it's a cultural thing and I know italians are bunch of corrupt motherfuckers, but meanwhile the rest of the world is moving along.

I see he's made a life philosophy out of it. But hey - now his life has meaning!
