Deja vu

Foiled by an injury-time goal from Asamoah Gyan - now why does that sound familiar? England's goal in the 1-1 draw with Ghana had come from a lanky pony-tailed bruiser, a meaty left-footed thump from Smoggie Stewart Downing's touch that flew into the net - proof that Liverpool haven't shelled out £35m on a nodding donkey.

Update: It seems that despite scoring his first international goal Fabio Capello wasn't entirely happy with Rocky's display last night (though presumably the Italian's expecting improvement largely in his match fitness than in his general effort). And this after warning our former number nine to cut back on the sauce (advice you'd hope he also had from staff on Tyneside). Clearly he'll need to stay on his toes to impress his national manager.
