Guly has played well a lot last season and the whole of this season. Yet our fans still boo him for some unknown reason.

LOL!!!!!!! What you said the other day has just lost massive amounts of credibility.

I have been playing the Beta and have been doing OK but not great. Gaston has been pretty poor which is a bit of a joke. What happens when I get the full game through the post MLG ? Do you just install it like any other game and start again or what ?

Would definitely give Morgan a rest. We're f*cked if he gets injured or sent off.

I really don't understand why people boo our players, especially when they haven't even got on the pitch. He's been a big part in our promotions, and played our best football last year when he was in the side. Yes he's erratic but he's done nothing wrong this season so far to warrant the abuse he gets from our so called 'fans'

I don't think Boruc is a 'dud' as such. He wouldn't have had the career he has had if he was, but he has always been known as a bit of a loose cannon.

Gazza is a very good young keeper who needs to be playing. Should that be in our side or shall it be out on loan? I'd be surprised if the club are taking this Boruc incident seriously and then let Gazza go out on loan, because we've already admitted Davis isn't good enough hence him being dropped. At present, Gazza is our best keeper, but if he's not going to play for us, then he'd be better off going out on loan and playing games.

Someone mentioned last week he'd gone somewhere in India or something?! I think he'd be worth a trial at least. Better than seaborne at the very least!

I used to go to Sheff Utd all the time when I was at uni there, and always used to chat to the locals. If you get the wrong bunch then they hate everyone but nothing specifically Southampton related !

Like a greasy chip butty !

Yoshida is Left footed I think.

Yeh, we're not good enough. Making silly errors which need cutting out. We probably would have got something from West Ham if we hadn't made the mistakes. Along with other games. As I said it's more down to concentration. Once we have a chance to put out our best team, I think we'll pick up more points.

Yes, but we're not very good at playing defensively. If we set out defensively, we'll probably get beat anyway and lose without scoring. Our best attribute in our team is playing football and attacking teams. Whether we strengthened in the right places is a different arguement as we needed defenders, but at the same time we didn't get them. So the best way of us not conceding with the team we have, is us keeping the ball and Ramirez is very good at this. Putting either Lallana or Ramirez out wide would just be a waste. Theyre our two most talented players with the ball at their feet so we need to give them the ball the most. They're also both pretty good at winning free kicks.

You really don't need to keep repeating yourself. We all know that we've let in a lot of goals.

I expect Chaplow to start seeing as though he's done the pre match interview. And it's not hugely important to us as Crosby has done the pre match interview. I expect a reserve side and wouldn't be surprised if we lose.

We are going toe to toe with them though. You can hardly say we've been the poorer side in half these games. It's more to do with indiviual errors and concentration levels. West Ham were absolutely dreadful, but they're efficient with their tactics plus they have a lot of experience and a manager who knows how to make it hard to get beat, and score scrappy goals. We're not that kind of team. I admire the fact we're going at teams and playing the right way, I think we just have to be patient. If we go down then so be it, I'm not afraid of the NPC.

If we take out the 3rd attacking midfielder though, we lose the link and the striker becomes isolated, ala Arsenal.

Nigel took to him massively when he signed. You could tell that he really wanted him to do well.

So you're suggesting that we play 5 in the middle with no attacking threat ? I'd rather lose 3-2 than 2-0.

No we don't. We play with 1 (ONE) up front, with two wider midfielders who quite often come inside, and a 3rd midfielder playing in front of 2 deep lying CM's linking play with the striker. That player in the hole is very important to how we play. Whether that is Gaston, or Lallana, or someone else, thats the position where we have a player who makes something happen. Look what happened when we didn't have that player yesterday, We were totally overan and Spurs midfield had acres of room to knock the ball around and create.

Some very interesting lineups on this thread. Would have thought our best 11 would be pretty unanimous.

Good dance moves though!

Corks a little lightweight but JWP isn't ?!

JWP isn't particularly defensive. And although I like JWP, he's not better than Davis or Cork !?
