Confidence
As I played football with the Colchester Rd Baptist lot last night I started to think and came to realise that confidence is one of the most important things in life…
I know that sounds quite stupid but when you think about it as I did you realise that it is…
You see, as I was playing footy when it came to hitting the target and scoring with my shots, I don’t think it was as much about my skill level getting better or worse but it was a lot to do with confidence on whether or not I hit the target and scored…
I think the same is with premiership footballers, John (that’s Pinder not The Baptist) always moans about how someone paid so much money can miss but take Shevchenko at Chelsea for example…I think he is an amazingly talented footballer and clinical finisher but has really struggled to score at Chelsea. I don’t think this is to with him losing his skill or ability but it is because he is in a new country and a new club with a lot to prove and a 30 million quid price tag to justify…add to that that the manager openly doesn’t rate him and doesn’t want him…now if that was me, I’m not sure I would have enough confidence to score!
What do people think? Are you more able to achieve or do something if you have the confidence to do it?

I’m the living proof that if you have enough confidence, people assume you’re competent. so when you confidently blame someone else for the mistakes…
I still have a job… :o)
It’s nonsense to say that if you pay somebody enough to score, then they should score. You could pay me more than Sheva and I could train as hard as possible and try as hard as possible, but still miss the goal.
My opinion on Sheva is that he is struggling to deal with the loss of some of his pace. The skill, finishing and power are all still there, but without learning to play the game a little differently he’ll not shine like he can for a while. Also, he has moved to England where the game is played differently to in Italy, which is something else to get used to. (another) Also, Mourinho didn’t actually want to sign him, he wanted Etoo but Kenyon got Shevchenko instead, possibly on the wishes of Abramovich.
Coincidentally, John the Baptist shares the views of Pinder.
