East Kent Saint Posted 17 January, 2017 Share Posted 17 January, 2017 Koeman plays 4 youngsters and thrash City ,Morgan joins Everton as they have Champions League ambitions , Guardiola needs to overhaul his whole squad as they can't score and their goalkeeper can't stop shots , Chelsea can't hang on to their players as they don't have enough ambition / pay their players enough /don't invest in top players .

sandwichsaint Posted 17 January, 2017 Share Posted 17 January, 2017 Saints ease past Norwich with a much-changed team, it's not pretty, it's freezing cold, but we get the job done. 75% of the post-match thread slags the: team/selection/players/manager/rotation/the board/other posters, plus ca change? C'est la Saints Web vie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW5 SAINT Posted 17 January, 2017 Share Posted 17 January, 2017 Portsmouth are the biggest club on the south coast Surely you meant to say naturally a "Prem top four club" I have actually heard this said by a number of people...................

ally_uk Posted 17 January, 2017 Share Posted 17 January, 2017 Saints lack ambition, We have let to many good players leave and have inadequately strengthened especially in attacking positions. Our manager is dull, uninspiring and rotates the team far to much. No wonder we are so inconsistent in terms of play with all the continuous juggling of players and tactics... As a team currently we have to many journeymen and players which we are told should have massive potential however the reality is even though they have had a few seasons in the premiership to develop and kick on the return they have given the team has been pretty abysmal. We are being lied to, with unrealistic expectations of pushing for champions league that moment has passed. The continue dismantling of the spine of the team season after season and replacing Steak with Mince and gambling on potential players becoming the next best thing is costing us. What we are seeing now is that momentum switching and coming back to bite us. Looking forward we should be building the team around Boufal and Van D. We need to stop gambling and get in some proven premiership players who can hit the ground running and give us a return straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevy777_x Posted 17 January, 2017 Share Posted 17 January, 2017 Everyone take a ****ing break. We are in the Premier League with good players coming through the academy, 90 mins away from Wembley. Let s enjoy it and get behind the team!!! I know where we were 8 years ago and it was pretty depressing. Makes you appreaciate the good times.

ozzmeister Posted 18 January, 2017 Share Posted 18 January, 2017 To many journeyman????? I dont think we have any journeymen, maybe our third choice goalie? A journeyman is someone who jumps from club to club on a regular basis and is at the wrong end of their career. If you mean Steven Davis then no - we signed him from Rangers at his peak, at a point when he was captaining the biggest Scottish team and his country. Fonte is also not a journey man as he has been with us for what 8 years? If you mean we have a few aging players - that is true, but we're certainly not an old squad.......

Yeah Journeyman is wrong word to use. Been guilty of it myself on occasion where I have actually meant; hard working jack of all trade players, solid all round premiership footballers but with nothing in their locker to raise them above their peers and regularly effect outcome of games with singular moments of brilliance.

East Kent Saint Posted 18 January, 2017 Author Share Posted 18 January, 2017 The idea really was that certain comments have been the accepted truth ie Koeman didn't play youngsters , Morgan moved from Saints for Champions League football at Man U and is now saying he is moving to Everton because they aspire to CL ! Man C would win the Prem as they got rid of safety first Pell and installed Guardiola who for the first few games the "bees knees" Finally top 6 teams could buy and keep the top players unlike mid table Saints etc ...
