Ed Rooney

What teams were thy against though.... Did you watch the game last week and today, if so you couldn't possibly say the defence looked more assured with him in goal....

Why, because I would not pick a goalkeeper who is going to cost us points

Boruc... Gazzanigga is another calamity Bart.

Played decent enough but still need more zip and tempo. Again shocking defensive error, you do not **** about with the football when you need a clean sheet and a win. Other than the mistake the keeper again showed signs to me that he is another clown in the Bialkowski mould. Yoshida had no awareness as to his surroundings when he peeled off to get the ball off the keeper. Very basic poor errors again

Did Bywater have his Stan Smiths on ?

Played for the Schoolboys whilst at the dell as well from Age of 9 - 14/15, Was at Weston Park and the school year on year always had a good side. Bitterne Park and Bellemoor at the time were closest rivals. Remember schoolboys games against Portsmouth, even then had a bite and niggle about it

Maybe, I would have thought someone would have been there with him

Met Gaston yesterday, seemed a pleasant guy. Can't be easy for the lad, 21 all on his own and seemingly living out of hotels.

Can we play 3 Keepers ?

First Row probably

Sweet moment, if not only to prove that football is all about different ideas and opinions and not black and white. All formations can be made to work if played correctly and shape, structure and work ethic are spot on.

Ah right, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry, fry....up the sholing

Sorry ? Why ?

Oops, lucky I am not a betting man Turkish and you are a know it all FACT kinda guy, I may have missed something but Wigan played 3 at the back, away to Tottenham, Bale and Lennon started and yes i do believe Wigan won today.

last comment I make on the subject before I start getting into st Mary's mode, yes Wigan beat us earlier this season, no it wasn't the same team, arguably their best player lost (maybe). Do Kone and Maloney offer Wigan more than Moses did....who knows. Arguably Tottenham were a better side then, with Modric, VDV, Parker, King.. Who knows ? What we do know is you can't possibly say a team is better or not better than you because they beat or lost to someone that you didn't, or that something will not work for you and your players because it hasn't for another team. football unfortunately is not that black and white

Sorry, you win Tottenham beat a poor Wigan side last season so obviously you are completely right

Has the season finished then ? Have you interviewed all managers domestic and foreign about how they would play against spurs ?

You are correct NA will not play this formation, others may but we definitely will not. I must have mis understood this post as it seemed people were giving their thoughts as to what team they would play against spurs. 3 5 2 can be played to nullify the threat from the opposing teams wingers if played right. You do not think so, but I do.

God you just keep on don't you, didn't I say I didn't think bale will get any more space than he will playing the way we have been playing. Give it up Turkish you think your way is better and I think my way could work. You called me clueless, I stated you have no idea about me or if I have played an what level, didn't state I had, more of a you can't call people you do not know clueless just because they have a different idea than you statement. if you want names and by having them will make any difference and will mean you are not so blinkered and think your right with everything then let me know

Would you take your ball with ya

No, you mentioned it just about as much as I mentioned UEFA coaching badges, I am kinda bored now and your 4 4 2 opinion is your opinion and you are entitled to it, it has emphasis on AL and JP defensive capabilities which I personally do not think they have. Just to clarify I do not believe Bale would get anymore space by saints playing the way I would like to see saints to set up with than he would get by saints playing how they have been playing. If you have interpreted comments I have stated to mean bale is gonna get space so I think we should give him more then there has been a breakdown there. Each to their own which is why football is such a worldwide game and managers can tactically beat others as they do have different ideas on what may work and what may not.

Sorry you must be right because you said so, I tend to meet people for a drink who actually have experience of playing the game and not just quote something they have read from a textbook or google. Get you with your UEFA coaching badges. One thing you have not said by using your vast wisdom and experience is what you would do, or does that involve thinking without typing in 3 5 2 on google

I believe you started that with the completely clueless remark ! Football is all about opinions and please do not insult mine, I learned enough...put it that way. I think we just carry on as we are and get destroyed by teams that do not have quality wingers and get absolutely hammered by teams that do. Its not like anyone uses 3-5-2 to utilise attacking threats, I mean Italy have never used it to stop teams with strong central midfield and wide men. Formations and anything tactical within football is relative. You play formations to your strengths, our full backs cannot defend and do get forward so having 3 central defenders and a very deep holding midfield player is better coverage than we currently have when our full backs get caught forward. I have my thoughts, you have your thoughts. There is no right or wrong unless results prove so... Currently results prove that something is wrong and needs changing. I agree that maybe against a top team isnt the time.. But when is ?

Not 100% FACT as not proved, you do not know we would get spanked and Bale and Lennon will get lots of room anyway, due to the way Tottenham play and that was not my logic for the formation dip ****. We need to give teams something to think about, and not always play with fear about what the other players and teams can do. No I am not Mourinho but you have no idea at what standard of football I have played and under what coaches I have played, so completely clueless....You are way off the mark

And you would know that how ?. And unless you are Jose Mourinho or some master tactician do not state FACT to me
