is Hoedt better than Yoshida?

Very, very early days.

I think that a comparison will be better on the return leg. We are still creating a system and the a final will always get the players fired up

Really big things!

I reckon that it will be a couple of games more before a system is apparent.

Gazziniga would be known through out Europe.

RMS Strathaird would be a stylish choice.

But he doesn't have Fox trying stand in the same place as him. Admittedly Fox did play on the left of him sometimes but only by three inches although his favourite position was right up against the back of Hooiveld but probably three inches closer.

We have a clueless and inept manager. Les has driven this once magnificent club into the ground even though Courtesse already had buried it. Ralph does nothing for his multi million wage packet. Half our players are championship level at best and the rest hate playing for Saints. The academy is a laughing stock and has produced a decent player since the Ox. Kat is just a leech and couldn't give ish about her fathers dreams. Gao is only here to asset strip to the very last bone. Our support is a silent joke and those that do make any noise or sing are clowns. Is there anything that I've missed out in the how to be a true swebber?

You lazy git. I had to wait ages to post that. The least you could do is tell me what I've got right or wrong! I'm quite chuffed that half of the post isn't nonsense. Pull your finger out Lord Duckhunter.

Thanks for your reply. Please point out the half that is apparently nonsense. If you infact mean all of what I have written with the exception of the scoring issue then you are extremely rude and arrogant. Oh wait you are an extremely rude and arrogant poster, some might say the kind of **** that likes calling into Germy Vine to declare people naive, or ill informed because they disagree yet are too small minded to explain why so just use so called acceptable veiled insults like your first sentence. St Chalet please lock this thread or blend with one of the other panicky negative threads as was taken off topic from reply one. Shame as I was just trying to add some light to a board full of gloom.

Yesterday we put balls forward (I know it didn't work. Yet). We went into them in pairs (paid off when we got it right). *Neither have I seen in a long time and neither have the players. Things are changing and by tortious they need to.* You can't ignore the weird We Can't Score thing, and it is weird because these players can do what it takes to get the ball off the opposition and shove it into the back of their goal. But this only happens when we click as a team which has been rare since RK fkd off. After the uncertainty through the summer we now have an unsettled team. The truth is that we've had an unsettled team for almost a year and a half. They play as individuals, either having a good game or not. Oriel, Davis, Maya,Cédric and James are constants because they do look up, find others, and play in a team like fashion because it's their default setting. It was the same for Bertrand but he's been ground down along with Long and Tadic. These are all key players when we win. Redmond, Boufal, Gabby and Højbjerg still look like new players that need to understand the way the team plays but there isn't one.* Pelligrino has to build a successful team with this and it's no small task. Four, five or six games won't sort that out. We are trying to create an entire team not integrate one or two players. And as for those already losing their ish at the beginning of September, ease up and watch the development between here and November.* There will be some poor results but I bet something of Alp's or Goat's that we start slowly getting our **** together.

Wow. People are going to pieces. It's September. Slow down. Wait. Alp's and H you both get capital C's for behaving like total C's. You two are not alone in acting like total C's so early in the season, Batman. Focusing on you two because I think that you appreciate the heads up, others tend to get a bit uptight when given help and support.

I'd play Yoshida along side VvD because they have played together enough to know the other. Reckon Virgil would benefit from the support. Also noticed a difference in Rom without Maya behind him.

He has never been as fkn miserable some of the people in the stands or on here. Skinning Bournemouth for eighth peed people off.

Maybe they will continue with the stand made by Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and ourselves.

It does seem as though Chelsea, Southampton and Liverpool (albeit on both sides for the latter) have rocked the boat. The dealing of January and next summer will tell us if indeed there is a constant shift. I think a shift in balance towards an even scale is vital for the future. Whether that is possible with the amount of fingers in each pie is something we will see.

An Agent's View: Has Power in Premier League Swung from Players to Clubs? An interesting article and talks about VvD as well as others. Also mentions the balance between clubs and players and this summer has put it on more of an even keel.

Worth a read.

How do you get VvD sorted out? Boo, don't boo but don't sing, look elsewhere when he has the ball. ffs

Thanks for the report Dusic. I suppose we can only really start getting a true idea of him when he has played for Saint's a few times, but he sounds okay so far. Maybe a Tai-Chi coach could teach him and others a bit of fluidity and movement.

I'm with them above. In fact close all VvD threads until Watford.

Matt hasn't worked out. @ Hypo & GF. I have faith in the coach/team manager and I think that there is potential within the players that isn't/wasn't at its peak. fkn obvs. Shroppie, He can though. I think McQueen will become an extremely good player. A shame the loan for Matt hasn't worked out. Maybe he wouldn't have been first choice which would nullify the purpose off a loan. I think he has proved he has something at this level and it would be a great opportunity to hone it. Window hasn't shut yet.

We Will start getting goals soon. It would complete the pack if we brought in that amazing AM. We do have talent here though just depends on that being realised. We all know that this squad are capable more than we have seen so far this season (I don't include last season because it's got fk all to do with now). Maya can cover Bertrand by the way.

Hush your mouth!
