Saints vs Spurs - Build Up


Lighthouse

Recommended Posts

For sanctioning the spending they did this summer, and his record appointing managers is woeful

 

Rumours alight now that he's been sacked

 

Redknapp did well for them. Jol took them to fifth. AVB for some reason has a huge reputation but has now failed at Chelsea and Spurs. You can't blame levy! he's backed his man to the tune of £100m. His manger hasn't lived up to his billing.

This is a big game for our top 6 challenge, we really need to get back onto the winning train asap. Can't see past a home win but it will be close. Saints to win 2-1.

 

I find it impossible to drop Davis after his recent performances so my team would be

 

Gazza,

Chambers, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw,

Morgan, Cork,

Davis, Lallana, Jay Rod,

Osvaldo.

 

Up the saints!

That some reason would probably be winning the league\cup & European cup in 1 season with Porto, he had a 85% win record with them... incredible.

 

He had a 47% win ratio with Chelsea and has a 55% win ratio with Spurs, he has the potential to be a top top coach.

Although their net spend this season is less that £5m

Quite. Which is all credit to Levy for not going mad and spending money they don't have. Not really quite sure why people are having a go at him for sanctioning the spending. They didn't go mad and he back his manager. I don't really see what more people want from a chairman.

Seldom though do ambitious chief execs, or chairman allow a manager or coach the time to fulfil that potential though do they ?

Which would mean NC is not to blame for some signings we've made that haven't worked out.

Can't decide whether this is gonna be a good time or a bad time to play Spurs!

 

I'm all strangley kinda "meh" about the season at the moment. The injuries have put us in our place regarding depth of squad, we now have to concentrate on clawing our way back. Right now it's a game to game sort of feeling and waiting to get a stronger team out. It's great seeing our youngsters come up and seize the day, but it's still a bit of a lull for me in a way that seems unfair to the valiant efforts of the team.

 

What the hell. Let's stick it up 'em! They don't like it up 'em! :D

Their away form is better than at home - WWLDW and LDLWL respectively and that away draw was at Goodison.

 

Their 5 away wins have been Sunderland, Fulham, Villa, Cardiff, and Palace. The only other 'big' team they've played away so far has been the Arse, which they lost.

I think that at present the two teams are pretty much on a par and we should make home advantage count.

Cue improved performance at the weekend. Damnation

 

don't see why, they still have the same problem areas at the back, they've definitely lost Paulinho and no doubt Sandro so barring some miracle from Lamela I can't see much room for improvement in the short term. They were playing well but not scoring enough, bit like us really. Playing Capoue at CB is a stupid thing to do though, he's not that great in CM but a CB he's a disaster waiting to happen. Chichires, Vertonghen and Kaboul must be injured I suppose.

Seems to me that AVB struggled at both Chelsea and Spurs to gain the respect of his players and lacked authority as a result. I suspect his relative youth played a part in that but his personality always came across as rather aloof too.

 

However that said I think the players themselves were pretty disgraceful at Chelsea in particular in undermining the chap.
