Or... as we have a fully fit squad of 25+ and only 18 players can be named in a matchday squad... 7 players need to miss out.

They were both training on the pitch today. They aren't injured, just 7+ of our players can't be selected in the matchday 18. Some have to miss out every week.

Yoshida, Bednarek and Gabiadini were all doing training earlier on the pitch. We have a 25+ man squad, they can't all be in the matchday squad of 18 yet a lot of those not involved are still with the team today.

K,Billy was right last night...

Which if correct shows egg was wrong. He only played 7 games at right back ffs

This summer they signed 3 attacking players for the first team, how is that not a "big shake up"? In a 4-2-3-1 like you just suggested that is 75% of the attacking line-up of new players.

1) So you make a claim... someone asks for evidence... you refuse to provide it but we should take it seriously anyway? 2) I did not swerve your questions, I answered them all and also called you out for making up things I said.

Les acquired a nervous stutter which he hasn't had before. He looked and sounded petrified of how his answer would be received.

So you are not able to answer my question?

I don't think they will view Elyounoussi as ready to start a game and Austin, Hoedt & Lemina probably won't be dropped.

Can you provide evidence outlining how many games he played in each position? Not if he felt a player was his best option for another role and picked him for the good of the team. At no point have I said Reed should be starting for Saints or that he is high in the pecking order. You have just imagined that I did, when I did no such thing!

I prefer my way of him sponsoring my membership! "Thank you to our sponsors..." (no Glasgow I'm not buying you a pizza)

You are jumping to conclusions with all of that.

What definition of "social awareness" are you using where being ashamed of the actions of people you have no responsibility for fits? Being socially aware is not the same as being ashamed of actions you are not responsible for.

I didn't say these things don't matter or that your example of racist songs wouldn't matter. I was talking about the issue of being ashamed. If you are not responsible for the actions of the individuals doing these things and it isn't you doing them then why would you be ashamed? They do not represent you... you represent you.

They have recalled Muric from loan... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45278143

Why do you feel ashamed about the actions of people you have no responsibility for? They just happen to have picked to support the same bunch of 11 men kicking a ball around a field. They don't represent you... you represent you.

Well if you want to use that "logic"... Mark Hughes kicked a ball better than you ever could... and Hoedt has started every Premier League game whilst Hughes has been at the club! Sure Hoedt has had some horror moments and can make some daft decisions, but there is a decent centre back hidden somewhere in there. His flaws are ones that could still be coached out of him... like what happened to Yoshida where he is now a lot better than when he joined us aged 24 (same age as Hoedt is now).

It remains a vast gap; the two clubs are light years apart in terms of infrastructure at academy level, training ground quality, stadium etc. The jump from League 2 to the top of League 1 is tiny compared to what Pompey would face on promotion to the Championship or further. If Pompey went up this season the fanbase will be in for a shock. They'd become a small fish in a Championship pond of teams with parachute payments, big stadiums/attendances than Pompey and big spending owners (not something Eisner has shown to be happening).

A team he helped get to the Champions League final a few months after he left?

And you still don't, as the football status situation is currently... Saints = 13th out of 92 clubs vs Pompey = 46th out of 92 clubs Saints above Pompey in the football pyramid like they have been for the vast majority of the last 60 years!

I thought it would be right up your alley.

It is easy to criticise people when you twist what they say to something they did not say. I guess it fits your narrative if you think I said those things, so you've convinced yourself I did. Plus, I have not been particularly critical of Yoshida in recent seasons, he has improved a lot since he first arrived.
