Hughton Sure Danny Guthrie Can Bounce Back

Newcastle united Blog 01 October @ 04:00 AM EST
One of the most wasteful things any team can do at any level of football is to miss penalties. Danny Guthrie - missed a penalty last night And that's exactly what Newcastle did at St. James Park on 18 minutes last night, when Danny Guthrie's shot from the spot was easily saved by a diving Radek Cerny.

The slant on this is two-fold.

Lucas Leiva Is Not a Flop, At Least Not Yet

EPL Talk 05 September @ 10:45 AM EST

At age 22, Zinedine Zidane was playing in the Intertoto Cup with Bordeaux. At that same age, Éric Cantona had just got a move from Auxerre to Marseille. Rivaldo had just moved from Corinthians to cross-town rivals Palmeiras in São Paulo.

With the money involved in today's game and globalized scouting networks, such players would already have been with one of the European giants before they had the chance to establish themselves in their local teams.
