LeTissier and Ball

What? like a thoroughbread always winning a donkey derby and a donkey never winning the Derby. There is a difference in class. Beattie in comparison to the Premier and the present players performing in the CCC. It is not comparing like with like. I can't see any of our present players even remotely ready to play in the Premier.

If applied to last Saturday no team was affected. In the Premier only Liverpool who had three would have been affected.

Looks like the rule is very wishy washy. Players can be registered with any club domestically for three years. That means though that if young players haven't been registered for three years they don't count. For example Joe Mills, or any player under 20 by the looks of it. But probably Euell, Wotton etc would.

As a matter of interest it was the Premier. Our lot are a long way short of that at present.

Certainly workable then, MU and Arsenal would be fine but a lot of the others would struggle.

I think the squad size is getting larger now, 18 in FA Cup and I think Europe.

You are surely joking, I've see about 17 games this season and there was never a game where we looked solid and weren't hanging on, with Davis making vital save after save, especially in the last quarter.

Not until they have been registered three seasons prior to 21 with Arsenal or Tottenham. This rule applies to the football league. If EUFA/FIFA get Euro approval a similar rule will be imposed. Clubs have signed a declaration which is binding, allowing them to be incorporated, that they cannot take legal action.

I understand it is registered for three seasons prior to 21 with the club. Not a number of clubs.

It doesn't matter the numbers laid out in any particular formation, if some of the players just wander all over the place. This is what is blunting our ability to attack quickly and defend in depth.

Must have been registered with the CLUB for at least 3 years before 21st birthday.

If you are a member it gave preference after season tickets if NF ticket bought.

McGoldrick one on one with the keeper 9 out of 10 gets blocked. Never tries to lift it over, like Owen v Pompey.

The way our players shoot a lot of the time, scuffing low power, the shots are on target but don't trouble the goalkeeper.

Approx £8 - £10 a game. Depends when the ticket was bought. It isn't going to happen, how many games are going to have a Man Utd ticket incentive.

If they want to do that they are going have to give £1m back to the 9500 season ticket holders or have the ST holders redeem their tickets and risk paying out £2m approx. I'd hand my two back, and I expect most would, a) not to be taken as a patsy by Lowe and b) save £250.

There may be a system. The one we play is pack the left side, and leave the right side open for the opponents to attack. Then stroll back, it's the four defenders job to pick up the six attackers breaking that have got goalside. As James is the only right side attacker and defender it's now only three. Don't have anybody on the far post, never get behind the opponents defence. Make sure we pass it around long enough to allow the opposition to get behind the ball, then attack on a narrow front, getting as many players forward as possible, so that we are easy to counterattack. Don't make any runs into the box on the offchance of a breaking ball. Chasing the ball is the system. Lallana and McGoldrick play for themselves and almost never in their assigned positions, wandering all over the place. Most of all make sure we have run out of defenders when the ball reaches the two unmarked attackers on our back post allowing them to score.

Tactically naive, can't win at home, publishes a system that the players aren't playing. Lopsided, no width or effective attacking down the right side, no forward right sided player, consequently our right side defence is wide open, because of that we are vulnerable on our left far post when outnumbered. No he isn't doing a good job.

Davis is out of contract at the end of the season, to save his high wages I would suspect a free transfer. Surman is the most ready to leave, but his fee would depend on the terms. If it was money up front that would considerably lower the fee, if appearance related etc could be considerably more. I would think we would require the former. Lallana is not ready and I suspect knows it. He would be looking at reserve football for the forseeable future whilst he learns how to make the best of what he has got. A fee for potential only. I doubt he will want to go.

Manchester Utd tickets and lots of kids and friends. The price of tickets can't be cut often or maybe again, or there would be a lot of season tickets handed back, especially over 60's and under 16's at a fiver on the day. If it was a regular occurrence my two would go back today.

I think even the President of Ecuador got involved.

Maybe it's because he want's to go forward not across the field. We have much bigger problems than Euell and JP isn't seeing them.

Lallana has talent, it's just being wasted at the moment. He has been pretty ineffective. He could be successful if he played wide properly. He has been told to cut back on running all over the place and try and get into space that will hurt the opposition, privately, by a senior coach. That obviously didn't work. He is being played out of his favourite position, as he isn't able to command a regular place as the support striker. Either he has to nail down a regular successful starting position or he will be on the bench when Holmes is fit. That, if it happens could lead him to decide to go and play in, maybe Stoke's reserves. I don't want any of our young players to go, but the present shape of the team will hurt us. The way he is playing is causing us major problems on our right side. Putting that right now is more important than keeping Lallana. Ideally I would like him to take the advice he was given and solve the problem himself.

He along with Robertson are the headless chickens whilst Lallana is the wingless right.
