for_heaven's_Saint Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 Out of the attacking options I would have thought that Jrod would be most likely to be on the bench, seeing as he played in the Barnsley game. IF Morgan is injured, it makes the selection slightly easier in that JWP will go CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallagroth Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 ----------------BORUC-------------- CHAMBERS----LOVREN----FONTE----SHAW --------WANYAMA---MORGAN-------- ----OSVALDO---JWP---LALLANA------ ---------------LAMBERT------------- Subs: K.Davis, Clyne, Maya, Isgrove, Cork, Ramirez, Rodriguez It will be this I reckon, maybe Clyne on for shaw if injured. Wouldn't risk taking chambers out for this one, who is more defensively focused than Clyne against a strong Norwich attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallagroth Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 Wanyama and Morgan hasn't worked so far. JWP and Wanyama only looked better because Sunderland sat back and let them have the ball. The team now moves the ball far too slowly and we have lost our fluidity. Most posters are judging the team by it's results rather than by the performances and we have played poorly against two poor sides. Eventually we will be found out. Yes you all love Wanyama because he is big and strong but he has slow feet, is not aware of what is around him ( hence Morgans decline) and he does not get through the work that Cork does. Don't bet on us beating Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool this year. Okay i'll bite. Firstly did you actually go to both our games and physically see the performance and the work the players put in off the ball and more importantly off the highlights reel. I'm gonna take an informed guess at a fat no. We dominated both teams, some people would describe that as outplaying or playing well but not taking hard earned chances. Don't knee jerk that we were poor. Who are you to judge Sunderland and West Brom are poor sides, compared to us? we are two games into the season mate that's it. Finally if you'd watched Wanyama in pre season as well as at matches you'd see he was quality and very good with the ball at his feet, he is involved in the match from start to finish. Do i think he's better than Cork? no i think they're equally as good in different ways. The important question is does Mauricio? Clearly, as he thinks he is good enough to do both schneiderlins and corks job on his own. And finally who in their right ****ing minds would bet on us to beat man city, chelsea and liverpool again in one season. What i'm trying to say is, have a word with yourself mate.

Jack Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 +1. Our problem has been finishing and picking the right ball in the final third. We've bossed the midfield in both games so far, and I bet we do again on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 What would you be worried about? Osvaldo's superglued Mayuka's hand to his head because he didn't pass to him in a training match.

Bailey Posted 29 August, 2013 Share Posted 29 August, 2013 Intrigued to see people putting Osvaldo wide left/right - he's a central striker so will either play up top or behind Lambert. Here's my XI for Saturday, for what little it's worth... ------------------- Boruc ------------------ Clyne ----- Fonte ----- Lovren ----- Shaw ---------- Wanyama - Schneiderlin --------- Lallana --------- Osvaldo --------- Rodriguez ----------------- Lambert ----------------- Subs: K.Davis, Chambers, Yoshida, Cork, Ward-Prowse, Ramirez, Mayuka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 30 August, 2013 Share Posted 30 August, 2013 I don't see how JWP can be dropped after the last 2 performances. He's played brilliantly and his set-piece deliveries are important to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted 30 August, 2013 Share Posted 30 August, 2013 Will be: Boruc Chambers Fonte lovren shaw Wanyama Morgan Ward prowse osvaldo Lallana (cap) Lambert Subs: k Davis, Ramirez, clyne, Rodriques, s Davis, hooiveld. I think it's only a matter of time though before clyne takes chambers place. I think he's better at mo although chambers has done brilliantly.

trousers Posted 30 August, 2013 Share Posted 30 August, 2013 Anyone else think that Rickie being picked for England is probably the biggest selection 'headache' that Pochettino has right now? I could be wrong (for once) but I'm assuming that MP is keen to see how well and how quickly Ramirez and Osvaldo can 'gel' but starting them both would probably mean having to start Rickie on the bench, which he's probably loathed to do given how keen he seemingly is for Rickie to break into the England World Cup squad. Yes, I know its a "nice problem to have" but I just wonder if it would be easier to pair Ramirez and Osvaldo if Rickie's profile hadn't gone through the roof over the last few weeks. Just me pondering out loud. FWIW, I would start Rickie on the bench for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2013 Share Posted 30 August, 2013 Lots suggesting to drop J Rod but I wouldn't. He is the only attacker we have with any pace and who actually looks to run in behind.

Saint Garrett Posted 30 August, 2013 Share Posted 30 August, 2013 IMO we have to keep J-Rod in, Lallana isn't going to be dropped, so I see it as a fight for 2 places out of JWP, Rickie and Osvaldo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Tony Posted 30 August, 2013 Share Posted 30 August, 2013 Got a feeling Lambert might start on the bench in place of Osvaldo. Maybe a start for Ramirez?

revolution saint Posted 30 August, 2013 Share Posted 30 August, 2013 Don't see there being too many changes for this one. Would be hard to drop JWP right now and if Clyne comes in for Chambers then that could give him a bit more freedom as well. Also don't think Ramirez has done enough yet to warrant a start especially away from home. Playing JWP instead will give us that little bit more in terms of winning the midfield. Think Rodriguez will be dropped purely on the basis that he's had a few chances the last couple of league games and not taken them (you could say the same for Lambert though). Think the team will be Boruc Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw Wanyama Schneiderlin JWP Lambert Lallana Osvaldo Think it'll be fairly tight first half and expect us to cross the ball in early to make the most of both Osvaldo and Lambert. Second half bit more open and Ramirez and Rodriguez ain't bad options off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
