Football FanCast columnist Tess Okuefuna is fed up with players who talk the talk but fail to walk the walk.
I wonder if it's a case of the more you talk the more you believe. I know its one of my bugbears. I'm talking about players coming out in the media a week before big games and talking themselves up. Confidence is fine, you know what its great, but fans like to see their team show forthrightness and strength with their feet rather than with their mouths.

Premiership, West Ham
Football FanCast columnist Tess Okuefuna looks at the precocious talent of West Ham starlet Freddie Sears and wonders if he will join a long list of academy graduates that have slipped the East London club's net in order to get Champions League football.
The West Ham faithful have found a new hero to worship; an East Londoner and the latest to come out of West Ham's prolific youth academy. He certainly looks promising and some would say the world at his feet, but will Freddie Sears still be wearing the claret and blue in a year's time?

FFC columnist Tess Okuefuna suggests that Liverpool's FA Cup 5th Round exit on Saturday didn't come as a surprise and believes that the red half of Merseyside no longer boast the world class players that have graced the Anfield turf in years gone by.
"We didn't even play at our best" was the coy comment from Barnsley manager Simon Davey on Sunday morning, less than 24 hours after the Championship strugglers knocked Premier League giants Liverpool out of the FA Cup.

Liverpool
FFC columnist Tess Okuefuna feels that maybe Rafa Benitez and Liverpool should adopt the blueprint of Arsene Wenger as a long term strategy for success.
It has become a seasonal ritual of late to predict a season ending with Steven Gerrard lifting that elusive no.19 above his head. A month or two in the dreams turn to nightmares and all that's left is the yearly scrap for Champions League qualification.

Liverpool, Manchester United
FanCast columnist Tess Okuefuna looks at the fall out from Sunday's game at Anfield and felt a slight tinge of déjà vu as Liverpool once again succumb to a 1-0 defeat to their great rivals.
The stats, well they say it all really, the sorry tale that is Benitez versus Ferguson take four at Anfield. No wins and no goal scored. All three Man United wins have been by one nil score lines. A Jerzy Dudek howler from a ‘text book' Rooney shot in Benitez's first crack at United. Last season as was the case on Sunday Liverpool forgets to defend a set piece and their fiercest rival score and bag three points.
