Defectors Watch

So we went mental on Pochettino for resting players in a cup we participate in every year. Liverpool have talked about how long they have waited for their return to the CL, "this is what it's all about", "our reward" etc. and then they go and field a weakened side. Ouch!

Great face for knocking in a new cricket bat.

Would this be before or after the linseed oil application?

 

The pride of walking out with a permanently stained blood talksport presenter cricket bat would be immense, but would the blood eventually corrode the wood?

 

Large questions on SaintsWeb tonight...

The thickness gene in the blood DNA would strenthen the bat everytime the ball was smashed for six

Poor old Dejan. Gets dropped for the game he's been dreaming of playing in for years, and gets his wife to do his dirty work and post his displeasure on her social media. So sad.

I think Rodgers problem is .....he has no idea what his strongest side is....although having watched most of their matches, I'd be no closer to that answer myself.

Ah I don't know, think Rodgers may have written this one off and has prioritised the Chelsea game along with the next 2 CL games which they'd seem to have a better chance (on paper at least) of winning and thus gaining a qualification. Expect most of the missing "first teamers" to be back on Saturday. I'd still leave Gerrard out though.

I dont feel sorry for any of them even Lambert, if he had his head screwed on right he should

have realised there was going to be only one way the move to his spiritual home would end.

 

He might well have been spending some time on the bench with us but at least he would have

ended his icon status at saints untarnished instead of slipping into obscurity at pool.

that seems to be the consensus. But what's the point of being part of the competition if you go to lose? Talksport has just had that ex Liverpool German player who said that if you asked any Liverpool fan, they would have taken a 1-0 defeat. Where is the ambition? Sure Real are favourites but if you can't be arsed to try and compete...... So why are they prioritising Chelsea? To try and finish top 4 and join CL? Well they are already in CL so why not concentrate on that?

 

Amazing seeing all the Liverpool lovers trying to fend off the decision and think it a good one.

Incredible that Lovren, despite playing badly, feels he should be guaranteed a start.

And bizarre that he has used his wife to voice his displeasure.

 

Agreed, It smacks of a pathetic desperation.

 

But apparently Lovren's statistics in defence are better than those for Toby Alderweireld and Fonte in terms of the number of tackles, interceptions, clearances he made, according to some stats I read.

 

But read between the lines and try and explain them away and what we all know is true becomes clear. He has to make more clearances, tackles, interceptions, etc, for the simple reason that his fellow defenders and the defensive midfield in front of him at Liverpool is nowhere near as good as ours. That is why he looked good for Southampton and crap for Scousehampton.

There's a little piece at the end of this article which indicates that Liverpool have let three of their scouts go.

Must have been one hell of an expense claim from Cherwell Valley services! (or they didn't buy well)

 

Wonder where they will look to try and source their replacements?

 

:uhoh:

They don't need scouts, just a season ticket to SMS...

I wonder how Lallana feels on being included in the "write this one off" Starting XI.

A fairly accurate appraisal. But it's sad that clubs are now going to think that the only answer is buying from abroad, although that might help us keep hold of ours. Having said that, I see more reports of Wenger and Morgan appearing.

Same as every November and April for the last 6 years then.

They reckon we only got £10m for Lovren instead of the £20m usually touted

Have absolutely no sympathy for the human blob after he said this in the summer.

 

'I don't feel sorry for southampton, nobody forced them to sell their best players. They gave up their ambitions to be in the champions league and cashed in. It was their choice.'

Oh - in all the excitement of the summer that one passed me by. Apart from being hugely disingenuous, it makes it all the sweeter that he is failing (at present). But, I don't feel sorry for Liverpool, nobody forced them to sell their best player. They gave up their ambitions to be in the CL (as evidenced by the pïss poor showing at Real). It was their choice. Karma.

That was, in hindsight, one of the best football quotes ever. Of course, we await to see how the season pans out but there can be no doubt that have not given up any ambition, we've just found a different way to try and achieve it (and exploit you along the way).

Like no one forced Swansea to let him go. I fumed at that admittedly.

One defector from earlier days that doesn't get a mention is Wayne Bridge. Found it very odd he's not been back to the club or participated in the opening of the Pavilion. Were it more recent that he departed we'd have got a whole lot more for our Academy formed left back.
