As a Pool fan, it has to be.

Not sure what the pod is supposed to mean, but yes he is young, he is definitely hungry (see his reactions to us scoring), and he is more likely to improve than get worse. Completely irrelevant of course to my point that his performance today was an improvement on previous ones.

Suppose this is the important thing, that he's showing improvement.

Not that time they didn't, he had more than enough time to take a touch.

Wasnt de gea older than gazza? EDIT - indeed he was, 22 last season, gazza is 21.

Liverpool and City fans both singing the Yaya/Kolo Toure chant together

Was playing my PS4 within 20 minutes of getting home, just saying.

I honestly don't know what type of player Ings is.

£7million for Rodriguez, who was 4 years older and scored less goals, could be described in much the same way.

And Howard banned as well, looks like we're slightly better off on that front.

Surprised you didn't have £50 on that or something.

Look at the stats. Cardiff - no shots on goal, but Gazza has made 2 great saves wtf, it's a total reversal.

Love it. Yoshida looking good (where's Pastor Patronising?) Gazzaniga still not looking confident but a couple of good saves and a decent claim at the end should help - very telling that after he caught that ball 5 or 6 of his teammates gave him some encouragement, little back slaps etc. Rodriguez and Lallana are certainties to go to Brazil IMO, and if Lambert can get back in the groove of scoring then we could be seeing 3 Saints players at the World Cup for England.

FFS we're doomed.

Gazza should have claimed that, on his 6 yard line for christ sake.

Anyone got a working stream?

OK, so you're an idiot. I shall ignore you from now on.

So Davis wasn't injured before hand!? Gallagher will pose a threat if required.

Righto. When was it that opinion changed then? As everyone thought he and Lovren would be first choice this season.

Why? Shaw and Fonte are first choice, Chambers has been excellent and it was widely agreed that Yoshida was solid last season. If he can recreate that form there's no reason they shouldn't perform as a unit.

But training is totally different to a match environment. Gazza has not once looked comfortable or confident, regardless of how well he does in training.

Yeah, because Gazza provides f*cking stability doesn't he, with his 7 goals conceded from 9 shots on target and point blank refusal to come off his line. Jesus christ.

Hungover from xmas?

Fair enough. Another case of not quite fit enough, but we'll stick him on the bench anyway? I cannot believe they wouldn't put him in goal if he was fully fit.

Get a grip for christs sake. There's more than enough there for get something, Yoshida should have an easier time than recent appearances. Only weak link is Gazza.
