CB Fry Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 Do we think the club should make their plans and decisions out of what the fans wishes.....like down the road? I dont buy all this "we didn´t play our strongest team". We know very little of the physical status of the players and I certainly will never understand this "if you´re on the bench you should be fit to start". A player that is 80-90% fit might be a better option than a player that isn´t as good but you dont want to risk that player unless you absolutely have to and that MIGHT be the case of Fonte, neither of us really know. The only selection today that I might not understand is why JRod didn´t play, but on the other hand he is probably the player that runs the most in games and have played virtually 90 mins for most games this season so he might be in a position to get a bit of resting because of that. Lets hope none of our players go to the world cup. You have to, like, play every three or four days. I think our poor souls would actually keel over.

richardc Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 im actually more upset with the players than the selection - the defensive changes (davis and Hoiveld didnt make much difference as they were not at fault with the goal. Wanyama whilst he was injured was the best midfielder in the team - Jack Cork we meant to be a poor substitute - Now Wanyama's back it is a disgrace that he is playing It wasnt that long ago that Ward prowse was undroppable and the next David Beckham - and the only other change up front was Guly The fact of the matter our midfield and front men were all poor including Lambert and Lallana - they created hardly anything - kept giving the ball away - looked lazy and unmotivated - didnt close down as a unit - it fact were utter dross.

martel Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 I am pretty level headed so won't say I'm fuming exactly, but otherwise I agree. We will finish 7th - 9th this season, so have very little to play for in the league. Our best bet of qualifying for Europe was the cup, plus the chance of glory, prestige, a trophy, and possibly two days out to wembley for the fans. With no game until next weekend what on earth was the point of resting players? I just don't get it. Ok, if they've got a knock, but guly ahead of Jrod? No Morgan? Bonkers. I am disappointed. I can accept losing, have had lots of practice over the years, but to diminish our chances before we've kicked off is pretty galling, especially when there's no obvious benefit. I On the one hand I agree and understand the feelings of most on this thread, however, let's just sit back and think about this, say we went all the way and qualified for Europe; how many believe that we have the depth of squad to compete in the premiership and Europe next season, I for one do not believe we have, on top of that look at the extra cost incurred as the revenue is not that great unless you make the final.

Window Cleaner Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 We don't even have the depth of squad to compete in the cups this season. Apparently. We might have had but the untimely injuries to Gaston and Dejan have left us shorter than short. How can we be expected to compete with Sunderland (who had no game on Tuesday) who have nearly twice the number of senior players available that we do. Realistically our "squad" is wafer thin, right now it's just 14 senior pros (inc 2 keepers) and the 2 good U21s who play nigh on every week. So unless you use the substandard like Guly and Jos what can you flipping well do, players can't play 45 games a season plus internationals without cracking sooner or later and with 16 players (OK add in JWP if you like to make 17) you really hyave no option but to keep on flogging the same old same old until they drop and lose form through overuse. We should never have let Osvaldo go without a replacement, no matter what he'd done he should have still been here until another decent striker came in. Lambert is finished and whoever made the decision to send out Osvaldo needs hanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 15 February, 2014 Share Posted 15 February, 2014 Still not quite getting the argument that ''it was good we lost, and we've come through this unscathed, ready to kick on in the league etc.' The performance was so bad that it could easily have a knock on effect to our league performances, the players confidence will have taken a big battering today.
