Tom28 Posted 13 September, 2013 Share Posted 13 September, 2013 I cannot believe the number of people that would drop Lambert. Its crazy. The guy has just lead the line for England in the last two WC qualifiers. I also don't understand the logic of thinking Lambert should drop into the 10 position. Our formation works best when Lambert leads the line and we have runners to get beyond him like Lallana, Rodriguez, and now Osvaldo. I also don't understand this fascination with Ramirez. Until he starts impacting games he shouldn't start, regardless of his price tag. For me we should go with... Boruc Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw Morgan Wanyama J Rod Lallana Osvaldo Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 13 September, 2013 Author Share Posted 13 September, 2013 Sounds like Osvaldo and Rickie will carry on playing together anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 13 September, 2013 Author Share Posted 13 September, 2013 Would expect WHU to line up as: -----Jaaskelienen------ Demel Reid Collins OBrien ------Noble-Diame------ Vaz Te--Nolan--Jarvis ---------Maiga--------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 13 September, 2013 Share Posted 13 September, 2013 Would expect WHU to line up as: -----Jaaskelienen------ Demel Reid Collins OBrien ------Noble-Diame------ Vaz Te--Nolan--Jarvis ---------Maiga--------- Good level of Prem experience there, but not a lot of excitement. Vaz Te and Jarvis are inconsistent but capable on their day and a CM 3 of Noble, Diame and Nolan is streetwise. We should win, but they will try to disrupt our rhythm, niggle at our attacking players and try to capitalise on set plays, especially given our weakness defending them.

It's also a game I'd hope we would win, so we will probably lose! Probably for all the reasons you have mentioned above. We don't seem to have an answer for those tactics and that's exactly as I see it unfolding. I'm expecting a very frustrating Sunday afternoon at St Mary's. I look forward to being completely wrong though A lambert hat trick on his 200th appearance and Osvaldo to get off the mark in a 4 nil victory would be great!

This is my enduring image of the Milton Road End, where I spent my formative years before moving to the Lower East terraces and subsequently Archers Road seats. Loved the atmosphere in there and the surge when a goal went in, ending up miles away from everyone you went with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Saint Posted 13 September, 2013 Share Posted 13 September, 2013 Straight after that saints west ham game in the footage above I played for Salisbury and South Wilts in a match on the pitch - we used the room at the bottom of the stairs where the players ran out as a changing room and we litteraly came straight out at the final whistle. Then they kept the West Ham fans in for15 minutes and I warmed up in front of them..every time I caught the ball they cheered every time I let it in they booed ..I played first half in front of Milton Road and let 3 goals in ...remember how much bigger it all seemed on the pitch. My one chance to play at the Dell and I conceded three goals, broke my thumb and got subbed at half time ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 14 September, 2013 Share Posted 14 September, 2013 This fixture was a bloody terrible match to watch last season and a heavy/unplayable pitch (if the equally terrible weather forecast is to be believed) is hardly likely to guarantee any improvement.

Saint_Mabes Posted 14 September, 2013 Share Posted 14 September, 2013 I see everyone is picking Clyne at right back - as I would. I have been away for most of the start of the season but see Chambers has started at right back. So... ...was Clyne injured/not match fit for some reason, or does MP just prefer Chambers? If the latter, I assume theres no reason to think he'll change his mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 14 September, 2013 Share Posted 14 September, 2013 Seem to be a few players missing from the training gallery,although there are not that many photos. Can't see Boruc,JRod,VW,Lovren,Gaston or Clyne. So if you want to go all Where's Wally and prove me wrong that would be good. Some might have been on only light training though.

Giordano Posted 14 September, 2013 Share Posted 14 September, 2013 I remember saints west ham. 1982 or 83 i think. Up the Archers. It kicked off a bit right in front of me as some hammers had infiltrated. They got removed. Outside it was a bit carnage. Some stampedes. Think an old guy had a heart attack. Don't recall the score but i did go to frans cafe on the portswood road for breakfast and sank 3 pints in a minute at the Royal Oak up the road for a bet. Promptly returned 2.5 of them though. Ahh. Football in The Olden days. Got quite s few saints west ham storiy memories actually .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig Dig Posted 14 September, 2013 Share Posted 14 September, 2013 I'd go anti-WH for this I think, i.e. play the proper creative players, keep the ball, out pass them. Get Lallana and Ramirez on the ball as much as possible. 4-2-2-2 in a way, lots of full back attacking. Hope Chambers and JWP don't start. Nothing against them, both will be great, but both are disrupting things a bit and other options will produce far better results IMO. Yep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eelpie Posted 14 September, 2013 Share Posted 14 September, 2013 I wonder if Nolan (or was it Noble) will continue with his effective tactic of crowding and backing our keeper over the goal line during corner kicks. I expect so since it was so effective against us at West Ham last year. A perfect tactic since the ref is unsighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the latter, I assume theres no reason to think he'll change his mind? Clyne missed a fair bit of pre-season through injury otherwise he would have been first-choice from the off. He looked pretty sharp and hungry for the ball in the cup game at Barnsley, and he played the full 90 minutes, so I was surprised he didn't start against Norwich. Following the two-week break for the internationals, I fully expect him to start tomorrow because he is most definitely a better option (at this stage anyway) than Chambers.

Bailey Posted 14 September, 2013 Share Posted 14 September, 2013 Not criticising Pochettino as such, but some of his team selections & substitutions in our first three games have surprised me a little - Clyne on the bench when seemingly fit & consistently taking off Lallana just two examples. Well aware that Clyne had a stop-start pre-season which was interrupted by injury, so tomorrow's starting XI may give a good indication as to which of these decisions have been forced... Interested to see how we line up - for me, I'd go with: ------------------ Boruc ------------------- Clyne ------ Fonte ------ Lovren ------ Shaw --------- Wanyama -- Schneiderlin ------- Rodriguez ------ Osvaldo -------- Lallana ----------------- Lambert ---------------- Subs: K.Davis, Chambers, Yoshida, Cork, Ward-Prowse, Ramirez, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 14 September, 2013 Share Posted 14 September, 2013 Your hope will come true. That's a good thing then, Clyne especially.
