Actually did well in the build up just there. Like the rest of the side he's growing into the game now the Scot's initial momentum has waned.

That'll do. Much better in the last few minutes. Pleased for Theo.

Rickie to save it..... he'll be a national hero....

Assuming Defoe is fit. And we switch to a 4-4-2.

Leaving a barely fit Defoe and Rickie on the bench then.

True. But these things are not impossible.

That worked for Wanyama.

Respectfully, there are posters on here who have admitted in the past to putting on a facade to provoke reaction for the sake of it. This is the kind of behaviour that needs to be stamped out; therefore when an opinion is expressed it can be taken in confidence as being genuine.

You pretty much covered it. First step; prove himself indispensable tomorrow night.

That's one person. Nothing too much needed guys, just after some creative input. Ideally 4 more people will be happy to oblige.

I could cancel sky, buy that and save a packet. Food for thought.

Cheaper then a season ticket with twice the matches (Just over tenner a game). Is surely dependant on a good internet connection though?

Wasn't this type of box the kind of kit that Skate landlady won a court case over?

No need to be shy kids, it's just something for the news section.

Only if you insist.

It's that time of year again for SaintsWeb. PM me if you are curious.

Extremely fair comments. Time will tell.

If Rodriguez can adapt to this level then I would not count out Vydra. Long's physicality as well makes him ideal to play against a team who commit forward to a suicidal degree. Yoshida is the only one of our centre backs who has the mobility and vision to cope from what I can see and Lovren is not the most mobile. Your tactic is simply flawed, it requires world class talent like Mascherano in all three CB positions to even have a slight chance.. we do not have it!

I don't deny that they are weaker up front this year but they can still use Vydra, Long and Anelka. Long will certainly remember us from last year!

Then why exasperate it when it is obviously something that is a double edged sword? A weakness that has already been successfully used against us by the very team we are playing on Sunday!? Sorry mate, but your formation is suicide.

We can't win everything 5-4 mate! There are reasons the old 1-4-5 formations are no longer used!

Not if they have commited forward to support an attack which is required on your tactic to overwhelm their central mid as you stated. Your formation is far too gung ho.

One player does not a team make. He alone cannot cover all the middle ground and the exposed full back positions, it doesn't matter how strong he is if the ball is sailing 20 yards over his head from a clearance onto one of their forward's runs into our exposed flanks.

Just slightly! Mind you, when Lallana was called up last year I was also more interested and that was a bust.
