The press have been unsympathetic to Fabio Capello’s experiment last night. As well as the press, both Newcastle and Liverpool are said to be fuming that calls not to pick Carroll were ignored, while Gerrard was only suppose to play an hour but limped off with a hamstring injury towards the end. It never rain but it pours for Capello at present and you can guarantee that we haven’t heard the last of the inquests into this defeat.
Elsewhere in the papers Fergie has revealed that he is in no mood to retire; Limpar gives his verdict on Arsenal’s plight and Ian Holloway is asked to explain his team changes.
