ericofarabia Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 Hopefully Puncheon is quick. Fancy him to crack one in from the edge of the area from a Lambo knock on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint1977 Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 Good to see Barnard get a start, we need to play him until he gets off the mark. Ostsemibor and Lallana though - Norwich will murder us down our right-hand side, is Thomas injured? No excuse for leaving us that vulnerable down the right if Thomas was available. Semi is bad enough let alone with Lallana not tracking back. A lot rides on Hammond and Morgan playing their best games of the season. Great that Fonte is back.

Otsemobor is not as bad as people make out, and Lallana is one of the most committed players we have. His tracking back has been fantastic this season.

Matthew Le God Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 is Thomas injured? Otsemobor has played in EVERY game he has been available for. Which is every league game since signing. The only reason why Thomas has played recently is because Otsemobor was cup tied in the JPT (vs MK Dons 1st and 2nd Leg) and the FA Cup (vs Ipswich and Portsmouth). Otsemobor is Pardew's first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, not sure where the opinion that Lallana doesn't track back or work hard comes from but everytime I see him, he always puts a shift in. Did you not see him against Pompey 1977?

Legod Third Coming Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 Otsemobor has played in EVERY game he has been available for. Which is every league game since signing. The only reason why Thomas has played recently is because Otsemobor was cup tied in the JPT (vs MK Dons 1st and 2nd Leg) and the FA Cup (vs Ipswich and Portsmouth). Otsemobor is Pardew's first choice. He's not mine, I prefer Thomas, but on the plus side Otse has pace which Thomas doesn't and his passing appears a bit better. I still prefer Thomas because he is a genuine goal threat on corners and knows when not to feck about and put it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Mockles Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 AP Just said in recorded interview that he would not be taking them. Really? Hallelujah! I expect a lot of criticism followed the Skate game. Natural though. For once, both the arm chair fans & the pros had a more than valid point. Good news!

alpine_saint Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 Davis Otstemobor Fonte Jaidi Harding Lallana Morgan Hammond Puncheon Lambert Barnard Think this is the team as I heard from saintsplayer No place for Waigo, FFS. Right side of that formation excluding Lambert looks woefully fragile. Very worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint1977 Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 I agree, not sure where the opinion that Lallana doesn't track back or work hard comes from but everytime I see him, he always puts a shift in. Did you not see him against Pompey 1977? I did but I also saw him at Brentford where he didn't track back and left Semi badly exposed and needing a lot of help from Fonte which cost us second half when we were bombarded and Kelvin saved us. Lallana is a wonderful player going forward and and a favourite of mine, I just would have swapped him and Puncheon's flanks as Adam has days where he tracks back and some where he doesn't and Harding is better defensively if Adam has an off day.

Gordon Mockles Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 Forgot to say, my betting tip (I like doing the first scorer & scoreline). I'd avoid Grant or Rickie as poor odds despite being likely scorers, I'm just hoping not 1st) but I did a few quid on Puncheon to score first & Saints to (sorry) lose 2-1. 115/1.

Gordon Mockles Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 Otsemober looked quite bad last time I saw him play. Would rather have Tomas or James at RB I'm not a fan of James at RB at all but I do agree, prefer Thomas. Otsemebor didn't make a tackle until about 70mins in one game. He didn't get involved & looked like a spectator. Just wasn't in the game. I hope our final ball improves today (Lambert's overhit pass just a blip!)
