Do you have a U-turn post ready? Or will you just keep quiet for a few days before the next negative over reaction and hysterical post?

Perhaps more so than any other post ART has made on this forum.

Koeman has recently said Rodriguez is not ready yet to start two games in a week.

Alpine doesn't let facts get in the way of a good rant.

Celtic have a dreadful domestic schedule and 6 games in Europe... 2x Ajax, 2x Fenerbahce, 2x Molde If van Dijk comes to Saints he gets 34/35 games this season in the world's most high profile league including 12 games vs... 2x Man Utd, 2x Man City, 2x Arsenal, 2x Chelsea, 2x Liverpool, 2x Spurs Celtic can't compete with Saints on wages, Saints wage budget is significantly above theirs.

Why? He'd get a wage rise and more big games at Saints than he'd have at Celtic this season.

Tonight was utterly dire. But on the bright side, the following 6 players didn't start tonight... Ryan Bertrand Victor Wanyama Jordy Clasie Cedric Soares Sadio Mane Dusan Tadic Can all be added to the starting XI to make it stronger. Plus Virgil van Dijk possibly soon to sign.

Its on the BT Sport Europe channel.

Where do you think FC Midtjylland would finish in the Premier League?

Don't view it as a back five then, as Targett and Martina will be very attacking wing backs playing high up the pitch when we have the ball.

My point was Bill Kenwright's Everton still sell its best players if there is genuine firm interest in them. Like every other team in world football bar Real Madrid and Barcelona. Saints held firm with Schneiderlin last summer, but it was still inevitable he'd leave at some point just as Stones will leave Everton if not this window then probably next January or next summer as he is clearly unsettled. You may now cite Baines and Coleman but do you know for 100% sure there has ever been firm and determined interest in them from another side?

Wanyama hasn't travelled to Denmark due to a stomach infection and Mane has been injured (he went off in the 1st half vs Watford) and hasn't been in full training all week (so may only be an option from the bench).

Rooney - Man Utd Lescott - Man City Pienaar - Tottenham Arteta - Arsenal Rodwell - Man City Fellaini - Man Utd

All that shows is Reed has travelled to Denmark; it doesn't even mean he'll be in the match day 18 (we'd take more than 18 players for an away trip), let alone the starting XI.

If you relocated Stadium:MK to Southampton and filled it with 30k+ Saints fans, why would the atmosphere be worse than at St Mary's? In any case, the discussion was about the quality of the stadium, not the people that fill it.

Video interview with him last night.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34062586

That was a quarter final, not the 3rd round potentially in a month of Premier League & midweek European games.

The return soon of Clasie & Bertrand from injury, plus possibly van Dijk added to the match day squad and we'll look a lot better.

The training galleries from the last week show Ramirez training with the first team squad.

Sutton doesn't understand the rules either, because the ref shouldn't give a penalty and red card for such a handball when the ball was in the back of the net a split second later. Had the ref not deemed it a foul by Celtic he should have just allowed the goal to stand with no need for a penalty or sending off.

In La Liga... 2013/14 - 15 starts + 14 games coming on as a sub 2014/15 - 10 starts + 20 games coming on as a sub

2013/14 - he played 29 out of 38 league games and in 11 Champions League games 2014/15 - he played 30 out of 38 league games and in 7 Champions League games

Koeman not using a zonal marking system would. Its very hard to win a header if the manager wants you to statically mark space as opposed to the opponent who is able to take a run and jump at it.

If the manager decides your team are zonal marking, the players are going to be static holding positions. The attacking players have a big advantage as they can more easily attack the ball. If van Dijk plays for Koeman he'd be man to man marking at corners and would have a far better chance of winning the ball. Zonal marking is a daft idea by managers and it makes things extremely difficult for their own players.
