But very good in every other game of the season. He's allowed an off day? As been mentioned before...who is better than fox but happy to sit on the bench as backup to a 17 year old?

 

On a side note...is this the same taxi as Gulys?!

'Very good' - are you having a laugh?

Yes it is, Guly is better than Fox though as a player, no one to answer your question but that is the boards fault for not signing a better defenders.

Yes, the penalty could very well be his fault but anyone knows that with the movements you make in football, it happens, it's natural. Try running with your arms by your side, it doesn't work. Sure, he was to blame for a few things this year but jumping on his back for every, single goal we concede is utterly pathetic and shows people up a bit, to be honest.

 

Those who don't agree, I'd say one thing; assess the whole phase of play, not just the end result (Fox giving away penalty/Fox-Hooiveld incident).

If thats aimed at me I have nothing against Guly, but Fox has and will cost us big time if we have to rely on him too often.

Overreaction.

 

Really??? So he has not looked out of his depth all season when we played. It is no coincidence that his exit from the team and the emergence of Luke Shaw has made us more defensively sound. It is not just Shaw coming into the team that has done that.

 

Fox should be sold this summer.

Has been awful all season. Amazed nobody at the club can see his limitations. Will keep dragging us down.

 

Oh i think MP would possibly have noticed today. If he is as sharp as people say he is it wont have gone un-noticed.

I only hope there was a very good reason for Shaw coming off - injury being the only one I can think of, and if so then pray it isnt serious.

He was very good all last season, apart from Blackpool away and that Reading game which has been mentioned. Was an important part of our promotion team, yes. Been shocking this season though, and no he isn't good enough to be first choice in a premiership side.

 

However, he is able backup

Interesting you should say that. The whole period of pressure from Newcastle (prior to the penalty incident) came about because of Fox trying to dribble his way out of trouble in defence and f***ing it up.

If you assess the whole phase of play, it's not unreasonable to wonder how Fox was beaten so easily, leaving him chasing and flapping his arms in desperation. You're right, that one moment cannot be taken in isolation, but Fox should have been in control of the situation from the start. Shaw never looked so vulnerable.

Well said. I'm certainly not a Fox fan and I don't think he should be playing, but those two goals were just bad breaks.

Yes he's able to be at fault for 2 goals in a 4-2 defeat. Great.

He really does make Shaw look good!

 

No he doesn't. Shaw makes Shaw look good, because he is good.

To be fair to Fox, the last few times he has been called on he has been OK (nothing more). But the problem is that he causes our other defenders to have to cover for him, because his positioning is awful. Makes Jos or Yoshi or whoever is playing on the left of centre to look poor as well.

Yep, I've assessed it and he was at fault for both goals.

3rd goal: Why did he let his man get behind him so easy ? He will never learn to mark his man well.

4th goal: I wish he could mark opposing players aswell as he did Jos.

It's time to Make Yoshida or Forren our left back cover. I would also rather see Matt Targett elevated to the first team rather than see Danny Fox in a Saints shirt again.

 

No, definitely not, playing players out of position isn't the answer. Clyne can play LB if needed, so we just have to hope Shaw stays fit and keep Richardson on the bench. This lets us use Clyne as our reserve LB and Cork and Richardson as RB.

What a quite brilliant contradiction. Well done sir.

The problem with Fox is that if mentally he could cope with the Premiership he may be an adequate back up. As a footballer he'll never be first team material as his passing isn't good enough and he lacks pace which is a key attribute for a Premiership full back, but he has the ability to be a back up (Man Utd away case in point). That said mentally he panics and makes dreadful decisions that cost goals, remember against Man City away when he headed the ball back in play under no pressure, rather than play safe - same today and there are numerous other examples. I can't see that changing and I can't be the only one who fears the worst every time he comes on, I wonder if the players do too. Hoover suddenly looked all at sea as soon as Fox came on.

I'd rather move Clyne over there every time and play Richardson/Cork rb, or even give Target some time. Chances are he'll make mistakes, but as Fox will as well you may as well play someone who may learn from them.
