Easy mistake to make. The Irish put more effort into finding English and Scottish players with Irish grannies than developing their own talent these days it seems.
It's the money available in England and the premium on English talent because there's so little of it. You know something's wrong when Tom Ince is turning down two contract offers from Inter to play for Hull City instead.
Rodgers will get more criticism for this than he deserves. His team created loads of good chances but a combination of shite finishing and DDG killed them.
True. Their whole team has been poor though, and it's not like he could have peaked at 18. People are right to say he's overrated, but that's true of any young English player with our media.
