Subs: Mannone, Cabral, Wickham, Vaughan, Moberg-Karlsson, Ji, Roberge our bench (at last) looks strong
Batman Posted 24 August, 2013 Author Posted 24 August, 2013 Osvaldo on the bench?.......come again? did you really expect him to start?
Pastor Patrón Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 did you really expect him to start? Um, yes? Why not he's fully fit and even if he doesn't know the system that well yet is still a completely different class to Rodriguez.
Turkish Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Good depth in the squad now, 7 decent subs too.
Batman Posted 24 August, 2013 Author Posted 24 August, 2013 Um, yes? Why not he's fully fit and even if he doesn't know the system that well yet is still a completely different class to Rodriguez. ok. fair enough.
Lighthouse Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 We played very well at West Brom, I wouldn't say there is any particular need to throw Ossie straight in, I think Poch has made the right decision.
Mr_Red Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Can't help but think either Sessegnon or Johnson will do something a bit special at some point during the game. Not necessarily consistently great players, but they have something. Hope chambers is up to it. Still quietly confident of a win.
Hamilton Saint Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Um, yes? Why not he's fully fit and even if he doesn't know the system that well yet is still a completely different class to Rodriguez. I would expect him to come on in the second half for twenty minutes or so.
Turkish Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Gushing praise on soccer Saturday and well deserved too, spot on what they are saying.
Toon Saint Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 While I hope Osvaldo gets a good 30 mins, wouldn't have sent out a great message to the rest of the team if he had come in and started straight away. Squad is looking very strong when the likes of Maya can't even make the match day squad. COYR!
Fozzybear Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Gushing praise on soccer Saturday and well deserved too, spot on what they are saying. What are they saying?....
Batman Posted 24 August, 2013 Author Posted 24 August, 2013 What are they saying?.... awesome academy doing it the right way. bought 3 top top quality players that will immediately improve the first 11 through the spine created competition for places but at the same time, blooding top young talent. all the right way no scatter gun approach from the club should be aiming for top 10 finish a a real go at the cups
Lighthouse Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 What are they saying?.... Good blend of decent signings and youth players. Full of praise for Wanyama, Lovren and Shaw in particular. Some concerns about Ossie's attitude and how he will fit into the team with Lambert. Doing the right thing with 3 decent signings instead of buying about 12 like Sunderland.
Turkish Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 awesome academy doing it the right way. bought 3 top top quality players that will immediately improve the first 11 through the spine created competition for places but at the same time, blooding top young talent. all the right way no scatter gun approach from the club should be aiming for top 10 finish a a real go at the cups Also Wanyama looked awesome, Lovern didn't give Anelka and Long a kick last week and doubted Bale was as good as Shaw at the same age.
Batman Posted 24 August, 2013 Author Posted 24 August, 2013 Also Wanyama looked awesome, Lovern didn't give Anelka and Long a kick last week and doubted Bale was as good as Shaw at the same age. merson made a good point. the mentality at the club should change today. after the way we played last week, the signings etc, we HAVE to win today
Edmonton Saint Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Don't think pochettino rates yoshida much. Not on the bench again today.
Ohio Saint Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 I've had a hard on for Saints all week. They had better give me a happy ending today.
BlakeySFC Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 When was the last time we beat Sunderland? Really can't see us getting anything more than a draw out of this game.
Batman Posted 24 August, 2013 Author Posted 24 August, 2013 Don't think pochettino rates yoshida much. Not on the bench again today. come to think of it. he never picked him much end of last season either???
OttawaSaint Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Is Alps banned? No sign of him for 2 weeks! Anyway, strong lineup, hopefully we can avoid the banana skin and win as the media are really talking us up...
Batman Posted 24 August, 2013 Author Posted 24 August, 2013 Aljazera sport working a treat from mac to my tele Sweet
Dr Who? Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Win today and it will be are best ever premier league start! Lol
Dr Who? Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Aljazera sport working a treat from mac to my tele Sweet Is brilliant!
Dr Who? Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Who's man was that? Terrible marking! Sort it out saints. Not had the ball yet!
BlakeySFC Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 1-0 down already, knew we weren't going to win this.
BotleySaint Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Defence has been a concern in pre-season. Today looks like the first real test.
Batman Posted 24 August, 2013 Author Posted 24 August, 2013 Who's man was that? Terrible marking! Sort it out saints. Not had the ball yet! Chambers was marking thin air
InvictaSaint Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 1-0 down already, knew we weren't going to win this. Poor trolling, even by your low standards. Are there not 85 minutes to go? Fool.
BotleySaint Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 1-0 down already, knew we weren't going to win this. Yes, because it's typical of us! All the hype, positive feeling and we lose 1-0 or something. But there's still plenty of time to win 6-1! :-)
Batman Posted 24 August, 2013 Author Posted 24 August, 2013 talksport saying not offside It was. Just
OttawaSaint Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 ****** he was onside, level with the last defender on the far side of the pitch!
St Chalet Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Top 4 is going to be tough this year to be fair.
Dr Who? Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 We are the better team in the first 10, shame we cannot defend corners!
Dr Who? Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Wasted cross field ball..... Aimless. Who was that? Clear hand ball not given!
Dr Who? Posted 24 August, 2013 Posted 24 August, 2013 Top 4 is going to be tough this year to be fair. Need to keep winning!
