James Ward-Prowse for England? ...say that again ...
Lord Duckhunter replied to david in sweden's topic in The Saints
If everyone in football can see his promise, what's he still doing here? Why have there been no serious offers for him. I'd be amazed if he turned out anything other than an average premier league player, bit like Andrew Surmans ended up. People are getting carried away because he hasn't looked out of place in the side lately, it's only the averageness of his last 2 years that make these last 2 months seem better. He's turned a corner, but he's still not anywhere near as good as somebthink Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

He's done better lately, but let's not get too carried away. He's still incredibly weak in the tackle ( the goal yesterday he was weak in a tackle as the move was starting), and he's still one paced. He's looking better, but that's only because he was pretty average before. I really don't get the praise, he's not a patch on Davo or OR & had PEH followed up on his early promise may not even have featured that much lately. He's clearly not a right sided player and if he's going to have a decent career needs to get into the centre. Personally, I think he'll have a similar career to Andrew Surman. Sat will be a good test, with no OR or Davo and playing away at a tough physical side he needs to step up to the plate. He needs to start taking a few games by the scruff of the neck or changing them ( like Davo did at Boscombe). Lately he seems to play well when we play well, but is average when we don't . Average players are like that, internationals & particularly FEC's aren't , they set the tone & the tempo they run games. I've seen zero evidence he'll ever be capable of that.

Challenge for what exactly? The nearest we've got to winning anything was this season, not under Poch & not under Koeman. We were as far away from challenging for the league those seasons as we are this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great performance, Tadic in particular. Well done to the manager for not panicking and taking off long, JWP or Redmond & leaving the side as it was. I haven't read the match thread but I'm sure the chumps were calling for changes at 1-1. Defended great, although Benteke won nearly everything ( as he normally does) our alert back 4 & OR got around the second ball. That's good coaching & good defending. **** me, if we'd have swapped strikers we'd have beat them 6 or 7. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another step tonight, more education against one of the very best in the air & he did ok. Of course some chimps on here would rather a foreign Carlos kick a ball played. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or our nuclear industry http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/2791941/Gordon-Brown-invites-Saudi-Arabia-to-invest-in-Britains-nuclear-industry.html Still it's ok if we're in the EU isn't it. As I was trying so say before spell check ****ed it up. You're hypocritical, all over the place over this. The bitter disappointment over defeat has muddied your brain .

Still cant understand how the professional pundits & journos can't see what some of the geniuses on here can. Either they are totally deluded about the perceived job that Puels done or the posters on here are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If Ronald Koeman had no Pelle, no Mane, No VvD from Jan till end of season, no Jose Fonte & no Big Vic where do people think we'd have ended up last season? Some of our support really need a reality check. There's not one serious professional pundit or writer who questions the job Puels done this season. What on earths the matter with some of you people? You're becoming as deluded as West Ham supporters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a load of old pony. Please point me in the direction of where I've advocated public flogging of criminals. Perhaps you can point to any evidence that Brexit supporters endorse public flogging. Looks like you're starting to make things up, the bitterness of defeat is obviously starting to affect you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't quite see what tourists have to do with it, we were discussing people living in the EU. Of course Spain want Brits to stay in Spain and won't do anything to jeopardise that. There's zero chance of a like for like deal not being done, but that's because we've used their citizens to trade off against ours.However the snowflakes wanted to give that up .If I was Spanish pm & The U.K. had unilaterally declared my citizens could stay, I'd say " yours can as well, but we're not going to continue to underwrite British workers health care". Before adding "like pensioner expats I expect the U.K. to reimburse us".What's May gonna do, tell workers she can't look after British citizens on European soil or agree to cough up. ****ing good job you lefties aren't negotiating on our behalf,you soft arses would have your pants pulled right down. We'd probably end up giving the IOW to Belgium Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anybody seriously believe that if we unilaterally gave EU citizens the right to remain the EU would do the same without linking it to something else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We've tended to have 4 , but that's not your point. You wrote" If we are serious about being a decent side " Stephens wasn't the future & should be 4th choice. How on earth can you judge whether Stephens is the future & what stage of his development he'd be at in 4 months. One thing for sure is I doubt he'd be happy with being 4th choice. If we are serious about being a side that develops youngsters with a pathway to the first team, Stephens needs to be third choice pushing the regular 2 for s starting berth.

Just goes to show how correct May was to not unilaterally grant EU citizens the right to stay. Had we done so I've no doubt Spain will link Gib to allowing thousands of Brits to remain there. I don't understand why Lefties seem to want to hand EU this concession for **** all. You can be sure of one thing the French, Spanish & Germans will use anything as a bargaining chip. I just hope May & DD have more backbone than than the snowflakes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you heard of coaching, of developing players, of players learning from their experience? Are you such a football genius that you know now how an inexperienced player will be in 5 months time. If he's not the future im ****ing sure caceres isn't. Do you think young inexperienced players should just be binned if they're not top quality from the word go. I bet you would have slagged Yoshida this time last year, but by playing regularly he's been a better bet than Fonte Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stephens didn't do any worse against Ibra than Fonte did at OT. In fact he scored a pretty similar header where he bullied Fonte & climbed way above him. We've also struggled to contain Benteke when Fonte & VvD play. Loyalty is a two way street , Stephens deserves some. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been a big critic of his, but he did ok yesterday. Still think we should get decent money for him, & look elsewhere. I just can't see him getting much better & he still has a decent reputation which means we should get a few quid for him. Only downside is the chumps that will jump on a particular bandwagon if we do sell him Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
