Window Cleaner Posted 24 December, 2013 Share Posted 24 December, 2013 I hadn't realised that MP and Gazza share the same home town of Murphy. I hope that is not a selection influence!!!! Isn't Gazza from Santa Fé ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 25 December, 2013 Share Posted 25 December, 2013 Oh great. [h=2]MATCH FACTS[/h] Head-to-head Cardiff have won their last seven home matches with Southampton, each by a one-goal margin. The away side has not won this fixture in the last 17 league attempts since Southampton's 5-3 win at Ninian Park on 27 December 1965.

Batman Posted 25 December, 2013 Author Share Posted 25 December, 2013 Southampton quartet Kelvin Davis, Luke Shaw, Nathaniel Clyne and Dani Osvaldo could all be fit to play.

Saint_Tony Posted 25 December, 2013 Share Posted 25 December, 2013 Cardiff win available at 11/5. Certainly wouldn't be touching us at 5/4, far too short. Difficult game to call, will be nervously waiting on team news. Even if Davis is available, not sure MP will drop Gazzaniga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted 25 December, 2013 Share Posted 25 December, 2013 Davis may be average at best, but he's a lot calmer than Gazza and less prone to error. It's a weakness rather than a liability. This. Gazzaniga really shouldn't be anywhere near a team in the top couple of league. He actually doesn't seem to have a grasp on goalkeeping. He doesn't know how or when to leave his line, how to read the game, how to organise men in front of him. KD may be prone to a howler, but at least the men in front of him know what he's going to do. With any luck: Davis Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw Cork Morgan Lallana Davis Rodriguez Lambert That would have a great chance of a well needed 3 points. Looking forward to getting up there.

Dark Munster Posted 26 December, 2013 Share Posted 26 December, 2013 Davis may be average at best, but he's a lot calmer than Gazza and less prone to error. It's a weakness rather than a liability. That puts him miles ahead of Gazza. If Gazza plays I predict a loss. If Kelvin plays (and Jos O. G. Hoofveld doesn't) I predict a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted 26 December, 2013 Share Posted 26 December, 2013 Matthew Le God;1839612]How will that have any bearing on today's game? Well obviously it doesn't but there is the old horses for courses saying. Man United always win at Villa for example, West Ham don't win at Anfield, Spurs went over 70 years not winnig there, we dont have a great record playing the Welsh teams away and so on. Hopefully we will put that right today.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 26 December, 2013 Share Posted 26 December, 2013 Even with our first choice defence of Shaw, Lovren, Fonte, Clyne we'll struggle with Gazza in goal.

Window Cleaner Posted 26 December, 2013 Share Posted 26 December, 2013 Agreed, he will bring a great deal more calmness to our defence then Gazzaniga. And at least he's had a couple of first team games in the C1C. I don't think Gazza had played a real game for about a year when he replaced Artur at Chelsea, as you all know I don't count the U21s as real games..

DuncanRG Posted 26 December, 2013 Share Posted 26 December, 2013 (edited) I don't think Lambert will have a fruitful afternoon if he's alone up top against Caulker. He and Medel tend to keep those types very quiet - I'd be tempted to give Rodriguez a similar role to the second half at Newcastle.
