Saint_Tony Posted 7 March, 2014 Share Posted 7 March, 2014 I still think Clyne is far better than Chambers at the moment. It's quite embarassing that I thought Glen Johnson was finished with England 4 years ago, and yet there still appears to not be many better options. Anyways, I'm not betting us to lose, we've been dominating games and I think it will comegood again tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studentsaint Posted 8 March, 2014 Share Posted 8 March, 2014 I don't think you understand Davis' role in that case. If you think he is CAM then why does he spend a lot of time in the right back position allowing Chambers to bomb forward. The two of them interchanging down the right is a striking feature of the way we play. At other times Davis gets forward more and provides some assists, it would be good if he could score a few more but that will come I believe. To say he has been "consistent" is a poor summary, he has been MOTM or close to it on several occasions in the last few weeks, his engine is amazing, it is a shame that Poch does not see him and Gaston on the field at the same time. Last week it would have been better to have replaced J-Rod with Ramirez, other times maybe SRL, but I would like to see SD and GR playing together more often, with GR in the more central/#10 role. This is the first summary of SD that has made any sense to me. His interaction for instance with Clyne at Fulham for lamberts goal. People also think going forward he is void of ideas and penatration compared to Gaston, but I think the case is simply that he waits for an opportunity. He would rather keep possesion then force chances. Against palace he needs to play as we need to match their workmanlike mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 8 March, 2014 Share Posted 8 March, 2014 What are the chances of us winning 2-1 with Punchy scoring for them and Clyne and Jose scoring for us? Lets hope Punchy has one of his missing in action games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 8 March, 2014 Share Posted 8 March, 2014 Am I right in thinking we now have a fully fit squad to choose from? Lovren, Gaston and Wanyama all back from injury now. We don't have anybody else out do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 8 March, 2014 Author Share Posted 8 March, 2014 Kelvin Davies is the only one out although Yoshida and Wanyama had long international trips (Wanyama's was rather pointless as Kenya Sudan never took place) Wanyama at least wont be jet lagged traveling back from Africa and it's only about a 7 or 8 hour flight to Kenya (I'm assuming it was supposed to be played there). I can't see how a few hours watching the in flight entertainment in first class will have taken that much out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 8 March, 2014 Share Posted 8 March, 2014 Wanyama at least wont be jet lagged traveling back from Africa and it's only about a 7 or 8 hour flight to Kenya (I'm assuming it was supposed to be played there). I can't see how a few hours watching the in flight entertainment in first class will have taken that much out of him. 3 hour time zone difference would have caused some jet lag whether in 1st class or not, plus return flight from Nairobi to Khartoum (probably 2-3 hour flight each way) only for the game to be called off because Sudan tried to switch the game to Darfour without agreement. I know I would be ****ged after that little escapade, I assume he only got back yesterday as well, so no training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 8 March, 2014 Share Posted 8 March, 2014 Foo King hell. The players are all limping as they walk out to inspect the pitch. And why does Luke Shaw get booed as he gets off the coach. Didn't look comfortable at all. Just hope these jealous morons spreading rumors don't get to him. More than certain the likes of Cole muck spreading to ensure he gets on the plane to Brazil instead of Luke. Just hope the our supporters really get behind Luke especially if Palace fans start taunting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I would be ****ged after that little escapade, I assume he only got back yesterday as well, so no training. The average human body acclimatises to jet lag at roughly 1.5 hours a day, so assuming he got back yesterday he is only 1.5 hours out today. That shouldn't affect a player really. Traveling to Khartoum would have probably made it worse, I don't know what their travel itinerary was like. All immaterial now, he's there and on the bench.

SaintSteve Posted 8 March, 2014 Share Posted 8 March, 2014 Oh dear how stupid do you look now. Clyne starts I don't think CW looks stupid at all... on the evidence of the last few games, Chambers would be an automatic pick... For me, he's probably being rested... either way, we really need to find a way of playing both, but that will depend on whether Chambers can adapt to CB or CM roles as he's such a naturally gifted player.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 8 March, 2014 Share Posted 8 March, 2014 The fact Chambers played for England U19s midweek would probably come in to Mopo's decision. If I was Pulis, I'd be targeting long diagonal balls in the air towards Clyne, much like we did when Clyne played for Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
