Lazlo78 Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 I don't see a problem with giving Gazza a chance seeing as our season ended at The Stadium of Light anyway... COYS!
cambsaint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Should have been Let's make our negative and somewhat abusive comments after the match, not before.
Bucks Saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Not many teams (big boys apart) have a 3rd choice keeper who is very reliably premiership quality. Yes, several have very decent 2nd choices but beyond that its often someone not ready or not tested at this level
Saint J 77 Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Paulo Gazzaniga in goal doesn't fill me with much confidence, but maybe this is his moment to shine? Seeing how free scoring city are at home it could be a rugby score if he does not play at his best . Still, It would be nice to at least come away with our positive goal difference intact.
Window Cleaner Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 (edited) Gazza in goal therefore we have lost. Only chance we have is if they don't have a shot on target. One of the things I am most looking forward to about the close season is replacing the worst keeper in the league as our no.2. Serious question, would Morgan in goal actually be worse? I don't think so. Morgan's Mum probably wouldn't be worse,his Dad certainly wouldn't, don't know about Morgan himself. With Navas likely to show up the defensive weaknesses of our full backs Gazza will have some crosses to cut out. Shaw needs to be on top form today, if Navas takes him apart then his value will fall and his WC place will evaporate into thin air. Edited 5 April, 2014 by Window Cleaner
Sheaf Saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 He's also crap at this level. I think 'crap' is a bit harsh. He's not as good as Boruc, clearly, but he's a damn sight better than Gazzaniga is at this stage of their respective careers, and probably about as good as a mid-table PL club can expect to have as a no2 keeper.
alpine_saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Well, thats our hard-worked-for GD f**ked today. Anyone heard whats wrong with Boruc ? Sounds like our quest to secure 8th and try to get 7th is over. Decision not to get a second GK summer biting us on the bum hard.
Waterside.saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Well, thats our hard-worked-for GD f**ked today. Anyone heard whats wrong with Boruc ? Sounds like our quest to secure 8th and try to get 7th is over. Decision not to get a second GK summer biting us on the bum hard. Back injury.
alpine_saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Back injury. Right, so his seasons possibly over. All our effort and money went into getting the Italian Thug.

I gather from your post that we didn't do too well
alpine_saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Has the game already been played?! I gather from your post that we didn't do too well Oh, come on FFS. Get serious.
Viking Warrior Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Go Gazza . Show the moaners how good you are today . This must be a new low moaning about players before the game kicks off . We have our two main keepers injured what else can we do . Come on saints . I will be happy with a draw . It will be a hard match bit we can stifle citeh
Georgie Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Right, so his seasons possibly over. All our effort and money went into getting the Italian Thug. Saints have said slight back injury, so praying he's back next week.
Wrensup Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Anyone see what Steve McManaman had to say about our best players?
Dr. Kucho Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Gazza to stop a penalty, make world class saves and Guly to come on in the 90th minute and score the winner. How I hope this will happen. If I remember rightly in Gazza,s last game for us, he made some very good saves. Come on kid, you can do that again today!
Badger Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 It looks like were going to wear black. Why ??? In mourning for the fact Gazzaniga has to play ?
Convict Colony Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 De Gea was **** for 1 whole season with Man U, where as Gazza has only really played twice in spells for us. 1st under Nigel where teams were having more shots than a bukkake conference and over Xmas this season when our central defence and midfield were dealing with injuries etc. If he f*cks up thats life but we have the players we have no point in moaning about of what we could of or should of had, we should look at it as a learning opportunity, we are fortunate enough for these games to be only about pride, if he doesn't perform he will be out the door in the summer i would expect and Cropper given a chance as 3rd but lets just hope we are wrong and he performs.
Saint_clark Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Anyone see what Steve McManaman had to say about our best players? Yep, the guy couldn't wait to have a go. "Shaw, WILL go, Chambers, WILL go...". Yes Steve, you scouse pr*ck, everyone will be leaving.
Badger Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 In mourning for the fact Gazzaniga has to play ? To balance the above comment on thinking about it and in fairness to him, didn't he play v Man City at St Mary's earlier this season ?
Wrensup Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Yep, the guy couldn't wait to have a go. "Shaw, WILL go, Chambers, WILL go...". Yes Steve, you scouse pr*ck, everyone will be leaving. I know!! I mean we know they could well leave, but its the passion behind it that he's adamant they'd all leave it what annoyed me.
Saint_clark Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 To balance the above comment on thinking about it and in fairness to him, didn't he play v Man City at St Mary's earlier this season ? The game where they only had 2 shots on target and scored one, yep.
Convict Colony Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Both Hamann and Townsend saying they expect Lallana to be at bigger club next season. This is gonna be painful analysis.
nta786 Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Yep, the guy couldn't wait to have a go. "Shaw, WILL go, Chambers, WILL go...". Yes Steve, you scouse pr*ck, everyone will be leaving. David James- 'Chris Lambert'
Saint_clark Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 I know!! I mean we know they could well leave, but its the passion behind it that he's adamant they'd all leave it what annoyed me. And then playing down the fact that Lallana is two footed "They're professional footballers, they should be two footed its not that big a deal" - maybe they should be, but most of them AREN'T. Anyone know what his problem is?
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Gazza has all the ingredients to be a good keeper in the PL, but he has some mental barriers to overcome first. Hoping today is the first step in the right direction. I enjoyed his performance at Cardiff
Saint Without a Halo Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Pundits pre match on BEIN sports (Gray Keegan York) busy selling all our team to everyone! Nice to get the attention but as usual we are described as a selling club!
Convict Colony Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 He definitely kicks better than Boruc in my opinion.
Badger Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 The game where they only had 2 shots on target and scored one, yep. Oh well, sorry for my brief outbreak of trying to have a fair and 'balanced view' of him. Yes I agree, he won't make a goalkeeper as long as he has a hole in his arse.
Saint_clark Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 I enjoyed his performance at Cardiff That was his last game before Boruc came back wasn't it? Hopefully he took the confidence from that, worked hard and improved over the last few months.
Saint_clark Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Oh well, sorry for my brief outbreak of trying to have a fair and 'balanced view' of him. Yes I agree, he won't make a goalkeeper as long as he has a hole in his arse. Sorry. I'm trying to be optimistic, believe me I am, but I just can't find it at the moment. I will love to be proved wrong.
Lazlo78 Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Oh, come on FFS. Get serious. Is building a whole argument against our transfer strategy on a gloomy prematch predicition really that serious? I'd say we could both clean up our act and get ready for the game and leave all the sweeping statements for the post match analysis. And that's what I'm going to do. Enjoy the game! Danish TV just did a feature on LRL - Lambert/Rodriguez/Lallana - as part of the build-up. Wow - goosebumps They heaped praise on our team and even pointed towards Shaw, Chambers, Clyne, Ward-Prowse and Cork in relation to Three Lions...
SO16_Saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Changing the subject slightly, but I do really like the bt sport coverage
Jonnyboy Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 F**k me we have no squad depth... Not a bad bench imo.
Badger Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Sorry. I'm trying to be optimistic, believe me I am, but I just can't find it at the moment. I will love to be proved wrong. No, don't apologise, I'm exactly the same. I intend taking the dog out for a walk shortly, and then learning the result when I get back in. No result will surprise me, but it will spare a couple of hours of F5's, semi-naked nuns, and 'woots' !!!
nta786 Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 That was his last game before Boruc came back wasn't it? Hopefully he took the confidence from that, worked hard and improved over the last few months. His last game before KELVIN DAVIS came back... K Davis then played against Everton and Chelsea. No doubt any goal we concede, it will be Gazzaniga's fault. He will be the scapegoat today.
Convict Colony Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 No, don't apologise, I'm exactly the same. I intend taking the dog out for a walk shortly, and then learning the result when I get back in. No result will surprise me, but it will spare a couple of hours of F5's, semi-naked nuns, and 'woots' !!! Leave the nuns out of it.
nta786 Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Changing the subject slightly, but I do really like the bt sport coverage Mcmanaman, James and Owen kill it for me.
Convict Colony Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Dunno who I am watching but I have Diddy Hamann and Andy Townsend.
melmacian_saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 I think people overestimate how desperate we are to sell our good players. Namely our academy ones. We've only done it out of need before, and once because it was ridiculous money for a L1 player. I honestly do not see Lallana moving away. I think he is one of the most likely of our recent academy players to become a one-club man. Then again who knows...

Wade Garrett Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Might as well put Jos in goal for the second half.
TwoPints Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Who says Man City get all the decisions go their way? I'm not having it, there is just a different interpretation of the offside rule there, i. e. If you're wearing blue you can't be offside. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
