spyinthesky Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 Not sure if mentioned elsewhere but the number of English players on the field for both sides at the final whistle Saints: Callum Chambers Academy Luke Shaw " Jack Cork £750k James Ward Prowse Academy Harrison Reed " Adam Lallana " Jay Rodriguez £7m Rickie Lambert £1m Man City Ziltch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 Hate to be a pedant but Lallana was off for Ramirez by the end of the game Still, pretty exceptional. Hard to believe almost half of the matchday squad came from our academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe almost half of the matchday squad came from our academy. and many of us (including me) completely scoffed when cortese said this is what he wants. pretty much happened yesterday as we went toe to toe with a club that has had almost a billion spent on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWillie Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 No Brits in your team, you've no Brits in your team, no Brits in your teeeeeeaaam, you've no Bits in your teeeeeeeeaammm. Think it may catch on......or probably not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiggy Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 They had Milner on at the start? I know they took him off, but thats one eh?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 If we're going to count Brits as opposed to English we could add Steven Davis. Not forgetting Sam Gallagher was on the bench. Think that makes 10 Brits in our matchday squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tone Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 What about the average age too? With Gazza in for Boruc, we must have one of the youngest teams in the PL surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tone Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 Or to put it yet another way, we had a total of 9 brits on the field at some point in the game. City had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 and many of us (including me) completely scoffed when cortese said this is what he wants. pretty much happened yesterday as we went toe to toe with a club that has had almost a billion spent on it I was scoffed at for saying it could. Though to be fair, I said it might not and probably wouldn't happen for a few years. Of all the things I'm enjoying at the moment - it is this part I love the most. The production line seems like an endless conveyor belt of talent at the moment. If only a few other clubs took the same approach - England would be a much stronger force on the world stage, well imo of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Armstrong Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 What about the average age too? With Gazza in for Boruc, we must have one of the youngest teams in the PL surely? Average of Starting XI = 23.36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentry Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 Average of Starting XI = 23.36 And Fulhams this weekend was 31.5 or something like that! Swap Cork and Davies for Morgan and Vic and it would be even lower. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
