Pennant out for over two months

[fowlen]

Liverpool have confirmed Jermaine Pennant is to undergo surgery this weekend on a stress fracture of his right tibia.
Club spokesman Ian Cotton said: "For the last eight weeks Jermaine has undergone intensive treatment at Melwood between matches for the injury.

"But following an acute exacerbation of the problem during the game against Besiktas it has now been decided he requires surgery.

"We anticipate Jermaine will be out for approximately 10 weeks."

No wonder his form dipped

for me this is fantastic news, although many others obviously disagree based on the replies to this thread.

I think Pennant is a waste of space, and hopefully this will give Yossi a proper run, and may also force Rafa to focus on a quality wide player in the transfer window.

Bollocks. That means we won't be able to sell him in January.

Some stupid replies about Pennant being ****e in there. He obviously was playing through the pain barrier.

[Los Rojos]

Bad news IMO. Hope he makes a swift recovery - he was playing some great stuff at the start of the season.

Worth a poke

Definitely worth one.

funny that, cos i thought hes been missing for 16 months

[hairykewell]

Could be a good thing Gerrard being out on the right. I don't really like Yossi out there, he's a bit like Luis Garcia and is out of position. I guess Gerrard is out of position as well but I think it would be better that he plays out there and Alonso and Mascherano share the central midfield duties with Lucas. In saying that Jermaine has improved so much that he will be missed (his early season form anyway)

You must have a really little one to poke that.

Maybe this might have been the reason for his dip in form???? Hope he recovers fast, I as hoping he would play against Arse as he wants to prove a point.

Alright there mate???

This is a hardly a big loss.Turned in another hopeless attacking performance in Turkey.
Hope he gets fit before the transfer window and Sothgate or Bruce takes him off us.
Never rated him before he came,never during his time here and he will never amount to much.He felt hard done by when he did'nt get in the England squad but what does an attacking player who rarely scores and assists expect.

I despair.The man plays with an injury and he`s still lambasted.

Pennant and Arbeloa have probably been our best players August through to September

[Johnny]

Pennatt and Arbeloa have probably been out best players August through to September

I think some on here think you have to cost 20 mil or be a scouser to be a good player for us.Pennant wasn`t high profile enough to deserve to play for us.crouch was the same unfortuneatly.

Cos he had a fractured leg you muppet, and his performances prior to this injury had been decent enough

[AFII]

His performances has been decent but not more than that. We need a better right winger or right wing back, whatever player Rafa want, than Pennant.

I would say that Rafa want a wing back if you look at the players he has tried to sign and that means no place for Pennant.

Cicinho and Alves points to that Rafa want a right wing back.

he's fine as a backup option, which is what I always expected he would be
